31380But what of it, old whiskers?
31380But which of them did she find chiefly objectionable?
31380But why do I feel that way?
31380But would it have been better to accept her dismissal and, returning to the East, let her pass out of his memory?
31380Ca n''t we?"
31380Ca n''t you see, Pat?
31380Certainly you look it, and at times assuredly you act it; yet if you are so valuable, why did n''t somebody claim you that time?
31380Could it be possible?
31380Could it be that this horse, black as night, was truly of the lower regions?
31380Could not there something be done?
31380Do n''t every deef- and- dumb party get along with few sounds and plenty of signs?
31380Do n''t you understand?
31380Do you own that black horse?"
31380Do you remember Stephen?"
31380Eet is not for thee fun thot you live, you know?"
31380Had this buzzard circled out into the trail while he himself was asleep?
31380He-- What?
31380How cooms thot,_ señor_?"
31380How ever did they do it?
31380How everything appears shrouded in a kind of hazy, mellow, translucent something that somehow reacts upon you?
31380I''m pullin''eet myself?"
31380I-- I really owe--""Sure he wo n''t charge again?"
31380Is eet a bet?"
31380Is that all?"
31380It''s right harmless-- now, ai n''t it?"
31380Native?"
31380No, they had not-- What?
31380Perhaps you have noticed it?
31380She-- Huh?
31380Sign language?
31380So what should he do?
31380So why lose time in an effort to understand it now?
31380Strike a match, will you?
31380The point was, had he done it?
31380Then, as the other returned:"Is eet a bet?
31380Then, her sense of deep gratitude moving her, she asked,"Were you going toward town?"
31380Was the mare dying?
31380What could she do?
31380What did he say?
31380What had he done?
31380What is it, anyway?"
31380What is it?
31380What is that quality?"
31380What manner of horse was this, anyway?
31380What shall I do?"
31380What should he do?
31380What was getting into him?
31380What was it, anyway?
31380What would he do if he did quit him?
31380What''s the matter with it?"
31380What, he began to ask himself, was getting into him?
31380Where are they going?"
31380Who knows?
31380Why do n''t you never use your eyes once like other and more decent folks?
31380Why not?
31380Why not?"
31380Why not?"
31380Why was he arguing with himself along these lines?
31380Why was he suddenly thinking of quitting Johnson?
31380Wo n''t it?"
31380Would he win?
31380Would he win?
31380Yet was he not stalled now till morning?
31380Yet was it?
31380You know?
31380You ready?
31380You will, wo n''t you?"
31380You will, wo n''t you?"
31380_ Vino?_ To be sure he had_ Vino_!
47625Are they trying to scuttle that red craft, Matt?
47625Are you getting cold feet, matey?
47625Are you going to Lamy?
47625Are you on good terms with your cousin, Ralph Sercomb?
47625Are you positive this is La Vita Place?
47625Are you ready to lay on?
47625Are you really going to get an officer in Lamy and come back here?
47625Are you up there?
47625But how can he be working for it when he''s already got it?
47625But vat''s der goot oof it all?
47625But what was the good of all that Flying Dutchman business? 47625 Can you navigate the car to the road?"
47625Dick sahib, you go with Tippoo back to La Vita Place?
47625Did n''t you hear them go out the front door?
47625Did n''t you hear''em run down the stairs?
47625Did n''t you tell me that this was an old Mexican house, and that your uncle bought it?

47625I did n''t mean anything like that, and why do you go out of your way to take me in any such fashion? 47625 If you knew all that yourself,"said Ferral,"why did n''t you lock up before you went visiting?"

47625Some new kink in the yarn, Matt?
47625Suppose it''s Ferral?
47625Sure, Matt, vy nod?
47625Tell me quick, what happened in here?
47625That old flugee was a sort of Flying Dutchman, hey?
47625That''s still your play, is it?

47625Was n''t Sercomb in the fight?
47625Was n''t you expecting me?
47625Well, Sercomb came into this room with two other men, through that hole in the wall----"Is that right?
47625Well, has the old fluke cashed in?
47625Were you trying to keep away from Dick sahib?
47625What are you intending to do with that club?
47625What do you mean?
47625What do you suppose they''re up to?
47625What do you think of Ralph Sercomb, Matt?
47625What do you think of that, Ferral?
47625What do you think was the cause of it?
47625What do you want me back there for?
47625What have they got to gain by such foolishness?
47625What in the name of the seven holy spritsails, did you ever let Tippoo go spooking around the country for?
47625What is it?
47625What sort of a blooming place is it? 47625 What were you riding past the other car for?"
47625What''s going on up there? 47625 What''s he got to do with this?"
47625What''s the bloming racket now?
47625What''s the matter?
47625When did your uncle die?
47625Where are you?
47625Where did they go?
47625Where have you been, Sercomb?
47625Where is Lawton, sahib?
47625Where were you going in the car?
47625Where''d you get hold of Tippoo, Matt? 47625 Where''s Sercomb?"
47625Who are you?
47625Who did this, Dick?
47625Who is the''nabob sahib''?
47625Who iss dot?
47625Who was that fellow with the queer head- gear we saw in the car?
47625Who were the lubbers, and how did they slip their cables?
47625Why did n''t the lawyer tell me Uncle Jack and the will had been found?
47625Why did n''t you wait till we could speak with you?
47625Why do you ride in such cramped quarters, Tippoo,asked Matt,"when you could just as well ride on a seat?"
47625Why should any one do that?
47625Why should he do that?
47625Why was that?
47625Why was that?
47625Why-- why,murmured the youth who had just entered,"can this be my cousin Dick?"
47625Will we?
47625Will you take us to our car?
47625Would n''t that just naturally rattle your spurs?
47625You are going to Santa Fé?
47625You came past the house in the road last night?
47625You can tell me whether he''s dead or alive, ca n''t you?
47625You know Dick Ferral?
47625You stopped the car in the tunnel last night, and came back into the road?
47625You surprise'', sahib? 47625 You was n''t a favorite of your Uncle Jack, eh?"
47625_ Jee!_"Do you know where we left the red automobile?
47625_ Jee._"And you got away by running the machine into the cliff?
47625Aber for vy iss dis, Matt?
47625Aber who vas dot vat shpoke in der tark?"
47625And how did you come to have the white car handy?"
47625And where had they kept their automobile while they were in the house?
47625And why would n''t you let me in when I rapped?"
47625And will you say you did n''t land on me with a pair of knuckle- dusters in a dark street and run off with my roll?"
47625Anything happened, Dick?"
47625Anything more in the flask?"
47625But how had Sercomb and the other three got away?
47625But how shall we sleep?
47625But vat makes Sercomb act like dot?"
47625But was he running away from Matt?
47625But what became of that other craft?
47625But whose?
47625But why should he do it?"
47625But why were Sercomb and his two companions going back through the passage?
47625But,"and here Ferral rubbed his chin perplexedly,"what did they want to do that for?"
47625Ca n''t you tell by my talk where I am?
47625Did Sercomb know you were coming?"
47625Do you mean to say that some one came into this room and attacked you?"
47625Do you think that white car, and that man we saw in the road, had anything to do with the swabs who were in here?"
47625Do you wonder I''ve had a grouch at him all these years, Matt?"
47625Dot shpook plew indo nodding ven you come oop mit it, hey?"
47625Eh, Mings?"
47625Had Ferral and Carl captured him-- catching him red- handed and so unmasking his treachery?
47625How could you see where you were going?"
47625How did it habben, Verral?"
47625How did you and the other three lubbers get out of the house?
47625How far do you intend to hoof it over the cliffs?"
47625How he make it go, I vonder, ven he don''d vas aple to see der vay?"
47625How you t''ink I come py you oof I don''d know dot?
47625I wonder if Sercomb has anything to do with that?"
47625If Matt had been snuffed into nothing with the car, how could he be running away from him?
47625If the men were changed by the donning of the blue, what transformation was this wrought in our blacksmith boy?
47625Is de time not come?
47625Is he, Packard?"
47625Is there a boy who has not longed to possess one of these swift little machines that scud about the roads everywhere throughout the United States?
47625Is there a boy, therefore, who will not be intensely interested in the adventures of"Motor Matt,"as he is familiarly called by his comrades?
47625Iss dot you?"
47625Iss it a svear vort?
47625King?"
47625Last I heard of Ralph he was driving a racing- automobile for a manufacturing firm-- a little in your line, I guess, eh?"
47625Meppy dot''s der vay dot shpook car come oudt on us, hey?
47625Modor Matt chumped in und shtopped der car, hey?
47625Now vat?"
47625Rush things up there, will you?"
47625Say,"and Ferral seemed to have a sudden idea,"if you fellows want a berth for the night, why not put in at La Vita Place?"
47625The men had gone into that little thicket, and why had they not shown themselves again?
47625There was certainly a man standing right there where you are, was n''t there?"
47625They sneaked up on you, back there in that patch of timber?"
47625Those inside were not in a mood to receive callers; but, even if that was the case, why could not some one come to the door and say so?
47625Tippoo, where''s Uncle Jack?"
47625Understand?"
47625Vat it iss, Matt?
47625Vat vas dot?
47625Vere you come from, hey?"
47625Vere you vas going, Matt?"
47625Vy don''d he shpeak oudt und say somet''ing?"
47625Vy he do dot?"
47625Vy you do dot?"
47625What I''d like to know, did King save Dick?
47625What are you trying to do?"
47625What are your names, mates?"
47625What could Uncle Jack have wanted of a secret passage?"
47625What did I tell you about the soft- sawdering beggar?"
47625What do you think of this new twist in the game, Matt?"
47625What had become of Sercomb?
47625What have you done with Uncle Jack?
47625What have you got there, Matt?"
47625What kind of a bally old place is this, anyhow?
47625What sort of a place was he in?
47625What was there in that bunch of brush to attract them and keep them so long?
47625What''re you running afoul o''me like that for?
47625Where are you bound, mates, in that steam hooker?"
47625Where do we berth?"
47625Where''s that money?
47625Why did Tippoo want to tuck himself away in the locker behind when he could ride up in front in comfort and like a gentleman?"
47625Why not make your examination from the road?"
47625Why was that?"
47625With a high wall of rock on one side of the road, and an abyss on the other, where could the white car have gone?
47625You remember Uncle Jack''s room was all torn up when we first saw it?"
47625You t''ink she come from La Fita Blace?"
47625_ Jee!_""Then you must have been the one who fired that revolver and put a bullet through the tire?"
47625cried Carl, as Matt stopped for him to hop into the tonneau,"vot kindt oof a rite vas dot you dook mit yourseluf, Verral?"
18352And leave me all alone?
18352And that, of course, included something of the history of their devoted attendants?
18352And the thaves are going to camp and cook their supper on the other side?
18352And to the west and north?
18352And we must go on opening and closing gates and running errands in Arizona? 18352 And you knew what you are telling me when we were exchanging oxen this morning?"
18352And you say you have seen no Navajos or signs of them since you came?
18352Are they quite as old as that, lieutenant?
18352Are you hurt?
18352As spoil of war, corporal?
18352But about that pony''s shoe; do you want it reset?
18352But can we go with any better prospect of success to- morrow or next day?
18352But how are we going to find our horses without her? 18352 But how did you make the acquaintance of Corporal Henry Burton, Miss Arnold?"
18352But how_ can_ I wait?
18352But why can not we attend the race with the escort, as spectators, and seize them?
18352Ca n''t Vic be sent with a message?
18352Ca n''t something be done to get the ponies back, sir?
18352Ca n''t we give her the proper attendance here, doctor?
18352Ca n''t we go there, sir? 18352 Ca n''t we have Vic here, too, sir?"
18352Can not you scare him by a threat?
18352Can she be made to live, doctor?
18352Can you make out the opening?
18352Can you think of any way of locating her?
18352Corpril Duffey, will ye let one uv the b''ys walk me bate a minate till I can take the laddie in?
18352D''ye know these critters?
18352D''ye moind the cut uv thim chaps''hair, Jarge?
18352Did they have our ponies?
18352Did you have this tent pitched for our use, sir?
18352Do Indians never stand up like white men, and fight?
18352Do n''t you suppose, sir, that Elarnagan would give Manuel up for the large reward his mother offers?
18352Do you know where they were bound?
18352Do you think Mr. Hudson knew his predecessor had been killed?
18352Do you think it would be possible for me to own him, sir?
18352Do you think there is any chance of our finding Manuel Perea?
18352Do you think we shall hear from father, Frank?
18352Does a soldier choose his duty, sir?
18352Does th''liftinint moind that Sargint Hinery mintioned a covered way that led from th''cellar to th''spring?
18352Easy of approach?
18352From Fort Whipple, ai n''t yer, sonny?
18352Had n''t you better travel with me the rest of the way?
18352Half and half-- what do you mean?
18352Have these Apaches a camping- place near here?
18352Have you ever been caught by a rise, sir?
18352Have you ever been to La Paz?
18352Have you no idea of the fearful danger in which he has placed himself?
18352Have you seen Chiquita?
18352Have you seen none?
18352Have you visited the Arnolds?
18352How did you get away from the ranch? 18352 How do they happen to be in Santa Fé?"
18352How do you know?
18352How far do we go to- day, Frank?
18352How far is it from here?
18352How fast do men march?
18352How many days are we to stay out?
18352How many?
18352How, please?
18352I should much like to have their company, sir,I replied,"but would it not be exposing them to great danger from the Indians?"
18352I suppose it appears to you there can be no good reason for crossing to this side?
18352I suppose you are familiar with this part of the country, Paul?
18352I suppose you have scouted the country thoroughly?
18352I suppose you intend to take this venison with you?
18352I thought Western people always hanged horse- thieves?
18352I wonder if Samson could lift those gates as easily as he did the gates of Gaza?
18352I wonder what officer he will send?
18352I, or my paint?
18352Is it to your room I''ll be takin''him, sor?
18352Is n''t it strange Indians should camp in such a place?
18352Is n''t that just jolly, Frank?
18352Is not Corporal Henry here?
18352Is she much hurt?
18352Is that where Ferrier was killed?
18352Is the Xuacaxélla really a desert?
18352Is the camp open to attack?
18352It was in the cellar of the house that Sergeant Henry said the body of Mrs. Arnold was laid, was it not?
18352Just as soon as I arrived in the valley my horse and I were stripped of-- But hold on, Frank; what am I thinking of?
18352Lookin''on''em up, I s''pect?
18352Looks as if the end of a passage had been filled, does n''t it?
18352Lost a whole college year, have n''t you?
18352May I look at the shoe, sergeant?
18352May I use the balsa again, Indita?
18352Muchachos,suddenly cried a ringing voice from the rear, in Spanish,"are you not ashamed?
18352Navajo?
18352Next Saturday, then?
18352Not take Vic? 18352 Not to wear?"
18352Oh, Mr. Duncan, may I speak to you a moment?
18352Promised Frank? 18352 Sargint Hinery, is it you, laddie?"
18352Shall I go by Bill Williams Fork or across the Xuacaxélla?
18352Shall we leave our monte and other stuff in town?
18352That flows into Bill Williams Fork, does it not?
18352The American had a scar on the bridge of his nose, and the Mexican had lost his front teeth?
18352The Corner?
18352Then if all were killed after he left-- shot from time to time-- would not their remains be likely to be beside hers?
18352Then she will not come with you?
18352Then we are to have the tent to ourselves?
18352Then we had better continue on the northern trail awhile and mislead them, you think?
18352Then why did he take them?
18352Then you have been dreading to leave the doggie?
18352Then you think I can generally remedy things? 18352 Then you think it a good plan?"
18352Then you think she is not to blame for following us?
18352They are n''t playing us a trick, are they, Frank?
18352They''ll try to make it lively for us, I suppose?
18352Ute?
18352Vic, you bad girl, how dared you follow me?
18352Well, Vicky,he said,"there is but one sergeant in the world to you, and he is here, is n''t he?"
18352What are conditions?
18352What are you doing with these college text- books on the La Paz trail?
18352What are you going to do with the animals you brought here?
18352What do you think about allowing the boys to go with me?
18352What do you think is going on?
18352What does it mean? 18352 What in the world is this?"
18352What is it, Hudson?
18352What is it?
18352What is the matter, Miss Arnold?
18352What is the trouble, please?
18352What other ways are there in and out of the valley, besides the one which we entered?
18352What would you like to do?
18352When did Corporal Frank start?
18352When did the chief take your clothes?
18352Where are they, and how many?
18352Where shall we go?
18352Where''s the sense of marching in the dark when the whole distance can be done in six hours, and the sun rises at five and sets at seven? 18352 Who was Ferrier?"
18352Why are those Navajo boys running their horses in this direction? 18352 Why did you not tell me?"
18352Why not speak to Brenda in English, and ask her to try to show us where she is? 18352 Why not try a march on foot, Henry?"
18352Why, Henry,I said,"you did not make that march with the men?"
18352Will they hurt us, Tom?
18352Will you please explain, sir?
18352Yes, but who can do it?
18352Yes; what is it?
18352You do n''t believe the rabbits knew we were n''t armed then and know we are now?
18352You would n''t mind it, would you, sir?
18352( Are you the captain?)
183521, challenged:"Halt!--who comes there?"
18352A general handshake ensued, and Corporal Frank asked,"Where are your clothes, Henry?"
18352Accordingly, without appearing to notice their remarks, I approached the chief, and said, interrogatively:"Apache?"
18352After pondering this apparently unreasonable movement he asked:"Why did we not camp on that grassy park on the opposite side?"
18352Approaching her, I asked:"Why are you doing that, Miss Brenda?"
18352Arnold?"
18352Arnold?"
18352At the end of the boys''story, Brenda asked:"The thieves were a Mexican and an American?"
18352But Henry-- gone down the turbulent river on a frail bundle of grass-- what might I not fear?
18352But if not Navajos, Apaches, or Utes, who were these warriors?
18352But presently I heard Clary ask,"Jarge, did ye iver see Navihos with blankets like thim?"
18352Ca n''t she stay with us until morning?"
18352Ca n''t we catch it for Henry?"
18352Ca n''t you come and see us next holiday?"
18352Corporal Henry, at the end of a prolonged yawn, asked,"Are we going to start at this hour every morning, sir?"
18352Corpril Frank, laddie, is it you-- and aloive?"
18352Do n''t you really believe the boys will return, sir?"
18352Do you think, sir, there is any chance of our seeing them again?"
18352Duncan?"
18352Duncan?"
18352Frank expressed the trend of thought by asking,"We now march into the heart of the Navajo country, do we not, sir?"
18352Going to send her to Jemez for the men?"
18352Had the boy seen a mirage and gone mad?
18352Have you any boys of your own?"
18352Hopkins?"
18352Hudson?"
18352Hudson?"
18352I was about to search for her, when Frank appeared, and asked,"Have you seen my brother?"
18352I wonder how far camp is from here?"
18352I wonder if Henry is among them?
18352I wonder if the roof is covered with earth?
18352Is she all right?"
18352May I ask you a question?"
18352Navajo?
18352Need I confess the emotions with which we realized the service this brave Arizona merchant had done us?
18352Nice little doggie-- good little Vicky-- are you really to go to San Francisco and the East with us?"
18352Perhaps you saw him, when you were on the butte, dash round the herd with Henry on his shoulder?"
18352Shall I make the signal?"
18352Surgeon Coues, who reclined near me, asked:"Do you think any of those fellows understand English?"
18352The chief approached me and, placing a finger on one of my shoulder- straps, asked, in mongrel Spanish:"Usted capitan?"
18352Think it would be safe?"
18352True; but what harm could there be if he kept out of sight?
18352Turning to the governor, I asked,"Are there any Navajos about here?"
18352Ute?
18352Was there ever sweeter music?
18352What are those objects in that farther corner, sir?"
18352What could it be, and what did it threaten?
18352What could it mean?
18352What do they want of us?"
18352What do you know about them, Brenda?"
18352What do you mean?"
18352What do you think of it?"
18352What do you think of the shrinking properties of water when applied to a desert road?"
18352What does it mean?"
18352What is it?"
18352When I put the questions, Apache?
18352When?"
18352Where has he gone?"
18352Which way will you go, Paul?"
18352Who comes there?"
18352Who were they?"
18352Why are those boys so ghostly white?"
18352Why did you allow it?"
18352Why not rush in with the escort and frighten them away?"
18352Why not, sir?"
18352Why was I not spared the task of enlightening it?"
18352Why was that?"
18352Wo n''t you, please?
18352You are quite sure it will give you no trouble to take them?"
18352You say the grass- boat is near by, Sargint Hinery?"
18352or need I mention that Mr. Gray-- God bless him, wherever he may be!--is always remembered with gratitude by me?
18352then you thought it a long way, sergeant?"
45452Ai n''t that the dizziest idear any sane guy ever had?
45452An''spoil all the fun?
45452And Shorty and Sixshooter Pete?
45452And another thing-- where did you get that roll of money which I saw you counting? 45452 And how do you aim to round up the herd without more riders?
45452And no private bath?
45452And where is the animal?
45452And where was he last night? 45452 And will you brand them?"
45452And will you have Marie do the cooking?
45452Are n''t you afraid someone might rob you?
45452Are n''t you forgetting that the sixteenth of the month is n''t far away?
45452Are the dudes having a good time?
45452Are we supposed to run a milk wagon too?
45452Are you a government man?
45452Are you all right, Baby?
45452Are you bad hurt?
45452Are you going for a ride?
45452Are you hurt?
45452Are you quite certain this beast is n''t an outlaw?
45452Are you with me or ai n''t you?
45452Barrows has gone for good?
45452Barrows is n''t your real name, is it?
45452But how? 45452 But what could he be doing down there?"
45452Ca n''t we raise even a few hundred dollars? 45452 Can it be that she''s jealous because I''ll compete against her in the riding contest?"
45452Dad left Rainbow Ranch to me, did n''t he?
45452Did he buy that steer with his own money or with mine?
45452Did n''t I just sell your foreman one of my best steers?
45452Did n''t recognize the hoss?
45452Did she want to see me?
45452Did we lose many animals in the stampede?
45452Did you get a look at him?
45452Did you see Jim?
45452Did you think that he was the person who robbed me at Eagle Pass?
45452Do I look like a criminal?
45452Do n''t you reckon Catapult''s tracks on the trail will show?
45452Do you know what I believe?
45452Do you know where they went?
45452Do you really believe I''d have any chance to win that prize for bronco riding?
45452Does n''t your father like you to come here?
45452Does old Charlie Trench still rim his jitney?
45452Everything all right?
45452First, why did you stampede my herd?
45452Going into the business strong?
45452Has Blakeman returned yet?
45452Have I asked you to do that, Lefty?
45452Have you notified the sheriff?
45452Have you seen Blakeman?
45452Have you talked with the banker lately?
45452He knew you were carrying the prize money home with you, did n''t he?
45452Hey, what''s that?
45452How did they get away?
45452How did you come out last night after we parted company?
45452How did you get here?
45452How did you happen to be over this way yourself?
45452How do you know?
45452How do you mean?
45452How does the weather look to you, Lefty?
45452How far are we from the ranch?
45452How is Enid?
45452How much is your bank loan?
45452How should I know?
45452How we goin''to get gunnysacks on Catapult? 45452 How would I get out again?"
45452I suppose you''ll not even discharge him for this?
45452I take it you''re discharging Lefty?
45452I wonder what business Pop has with my foreman?
45452I wonder what he does keep inside?
45452If Blakeman does n''t have enough money to pay salaries, how could he buy a steer?
45452In these wet clothes? 45452 Is it yours?"
45452Is n''t Red Farnham there?
45452Is there any danger of a stampede?
45452It''s what?
45452Jim Barrows, may I ask what you are doing?
45452Jim Barrows?
45452Just what are you trying to suggest?
45452Let''s see, how long has it been?
45452May I use your telephone?
45452Meanin''who?
45452Mr. Blakeman, why is Pop Bradshaw taking my horse?
45452My man,he said, addressing Lefty in a condescending tone,"will you be good enough to show me to my room?"
45452My neighbor?
45452No bones busted?
45452Now what are we going to do?
45452Now what are we going to do?
45452Now what''s the matter with him?
45452Oh, Cecil, are you all right?
45452Oh, dear, why did we ever come on this horrible trip?
45452Oh, it''s you, is it?
45452Oh, why did I have to cripple myself?
45452Only one room?
45452Route?
45452Seriously though, Miss Carl, you''re not thinking of carrying that money on your person?
45452So they educated you, did they, Connie?
45452Someone meetin''you, Miss?
45452Supposing another steer should be substituted for Catapult?
45452That''s what Blakeman tried to tell me----"Oh, so you''ve been listening to him?
45452The bank?
45452The foreman?
45452Then why are you using a name other than your own?
45452Then why ca n''t we do the same?
45452Then you did receive my telegram?
45452Then you''ll forgive Pop and me?
45452Then you''re not angry?
45452To question him? 45452 Up that mountain?
45452Walk?
45452Was it about me, Lefty?
45452Was n''t that Enid Bradshaw?
45452We''ll be there to see it, wo n''t we, Alkali?
45452Well, how did the guests like the cliff dwellings?
45452Well?
45452Well?
45452What am I to do now?
45452What are you doing up in our country?
45452What are you driving at anyway, Charlie? 45452 What are you planning to do with the gunnysacks?"
45452What business can they be having together?
45452What did he say to you, Lefty?
45452What did he say?
45452What did you call me?
45452What do you know about Jim Barrows?
45452What do you mean, Enid?
45452What do you mean?
45452What do you think the man has done?
45452What doin''?
45452What happened to you, Miss Connie?
45452What is the bad news, Lefty?
45452What is your name?
45452What made you think of getting a job at Rainbow Ranch?
45452What money?
45452What reason would he have for pretending that he was ill?
45452What sort of changes?
45452What was the idea of building their homes up under the lip of the cliff?
45452What will happen to him?
45452What will you do with so much money?
45452What''s he doing here?
45452What''s the big idea anyway?
45452What''s the matter, old boy?
45452What''s this new job?
45452What''s wrong?
45452What?
45452When do I start work?
45452Where are our horses?
45452Where did you find it?
45452Where is your horse?
45452Where''s Connie?
45452Where?
45452Who could have done it, Lefty?
45452Who did that?
45452Who do you think was hiding in those bushes?
45452Who is it?
45452Who is this stranger?
45452Who is your prospect?
45452Who said a thing like that?
45452Who''s there?
45452Why ca n''t I? 45452 Why did I stampede your herd?"
45452Why did he run when you called?
45452Why did n''t Blakeman write me about these changes?
45452Why did n''t you warn me the horse was vicious?
45452Why do n''t you ask Jim Barrows?
45452Why do n''t you learn to ride?
45452Why not?
45452Why should I protect you? 45452 Why should Jim be carrying a handkerchief marked like this unless he''s passing under an assumed name?"
45452Why were you trying to open his chest?
45452Why, is anything the matter, Charlie?
45452Why, where is the ladder?
45452Will the rock really echo?
45452Will you be out of the rodeo?
45452Will you be staying on?
45452Wonder what Jim was doing around there?
45452You bought Silvertail?
45452You do n''t really have any evidence against him?
45452You do n''t trust the banker?
45452You jumped from this cliff?
45452You were n''t sick at all that day I found you on the trail?
45452You''re giving up the pursuit, Connie?
45452You''ve really given a lot of thought to this dude ranch business, have n''t you?
45452Your bones sort of told you?
45452Your father discovered them years ago, did n''t he?
45452About his personal affairs?"
45452About how far down is the lake?"
45452After all, had not Blakeman gone without his salary for many months in an effort to stave off financial ruin?
45452After all, why should I be offended?
45452As the owner wrapped up the package, he remarked casually:"Well, so you''re going into the dude business?"
45452Beautiful sunrise, is n''t it?"
45452Blakeman here, I suppose?"
45452Blakeman?"
45452Boy, oh boy, will that steer ruin him?"
45452But who was he?
45452But why has Blakeman done all these things to me?"
45452But why would he be investigating the cliff dwellings?
45452By the way, where did you work before you came to the Rainbow, Jim?"
45452CHAPTER XVII A Night Prowler"Who was that fellow?"
45452Can you stand some more bad news, Connie?"
45452Did you see him leave?"
45452Do n''t you find it more on the order of a big tourist hotel?"
45452Do you remember tellin''anyone you were cashin''the check?"
45452First he fired Pete and Shorty----""He discharged them?"
45452How about taking Doris and me as your first paying guests?"
45452How will you feed the men?"
45452I suppose you''ve heard about my idea to turn this place into a dude ranch?"
45452I wonder if perhaps he has n''t been in trouble sometime?"
45452Ignoring the thrust, the cowboy asked quickly:"Where did you find the hosses, Jim?"
45452Is n''t this my ranch?"
45452Is that what you mean, Lefty?"
45452Just have one of your men trundle the steer back to the Circle R.""Did you just now take the animal to the ranch, Nate?"
45452Just how do you think we''ll be able to feed and entertain a house full of guests when we ca n''t even pay our regular help?"
45452Perhaps you''ve heard of Silverhorn Ranch?"
45452Say, do you live near here?"
45452The foreman hesitated, and then asked with an abrupt change of tone:"Have you been thinking over what I said the other day about selling the ranch?"
45452Then he said in a lowered tone:"I do n''t suppose it ever occurred to you to question Jim Barrows?"
45452Was it possible that he was living in one of the kivas, hiding there in fear that the law would overtake him?
45452What do you think is the best for us to do?"
45452What do you think of Jim, Lefty?"
45452What do you think of the idea?"
45452What is it this time?
45452When is it coming, Lefty?"
45452Where have you got that steer now?"
45452Why ca n''t we ride?"
45452Why did n''t he take the party to the cliffs as he was supposed to do?"
45452Why did you strike him?
45452Will you give it up or shall I take it?"
45452Would you lend it to me for a few weeks?"
45452Would you like to go down into it?"
45452You did n''t pitch Cecil in the lake again?"
45452You did n''t really sell Blakeman a steer?"
45452You did n''t see anyone on the trail?"
45452You did n''t walk all the way here?"
45452You knew it was dirty before you took the money, did n''t you?"
45452You understand now why I was trying to break into his chest?"
45452You''re a stranger around these parts, are n''t you?"
34996A pock- marked greaser with a bad eye?
34996Ah, Lucy, is that you?
34996Ai n''t she a beaut?
34996And are n''t you afraid there will be another flood that will destroy all these houses and perhaps kill a great many people?
34996And are n''t you going to let me into the secret?
34996And his younger brother?
34996And the woman''s charge?
34996Are they dead?
34996Are you after the steer, José?
34996Are you crazy, Curt?
34996Are you frightened, dearest?
34996Are you speaking the truth, José?
34996Betty Brown, do you see that red mark yonder?
34996Brown Betty? 34996 But do n''t the men take up the quarrels of their wives,"Louise asked,"or allow any feeling to come between them?"
34996But he''ll be too busy with you to go over to Golden and see her again for a long time, wo n''t he?
34996But now, señor?
34996But suppose, Fanny,her husband teased,"that he should prefer Lena''s methods after all, and cast himself at her feet instead of yours?"
34996But what about me? 34996 But what do you expect to gain by it, Curt, and why do you want to kill the man?"
34996But where''d he come from before Castleton got him?
34996But you, señor,--where do you come in?
34996By the way, Aleck, you''re from Boston, ai n''t you?
34996By the way, Dell, did you foreclose on a man named Melgares, José Maria Melgares, a month or two ago?
34996Ca n''t you come over with me to Bill Williams''s hotel for a few minutes? 34996 Curt,"said Homer when they sat down to breakfast,"if you''re not going to use Brown Betty to- day, would you mind if I rode her over to Golden?
34996Delafield?
34996Did you say anything about it to Conrad?
34996Did you say that Mr. Bancroft knows-- that you have told him this story?
34996Did you see him? 34996 Do n''t you know what starts them?"
34996Do n''t you? 34996 Do you know why?
34996Do you really think, Aleck, that Ned Castleton''s money is behind Martinez? 34996 Do you remember ever running across a chap named Delafield?"
34996Do you think I''ve mistreated you or injured you in any way?
34996Do you think anybody would know it,asked Conrad,"even if it was really there?"
34996Don Curtis, how can I?
34996Don Curtis? 34996 Fine creature, is n''t she?"
34996Granting that you''re right, Francisquita,he said,"what makes you think so?"
34996Has Andy Miller been taking a pull at your flask?
34996Has n''t he done something that would give us a hold on him?
34996Have you been working at it all this time, Curt?
34996Have you got anything against me?
34996Have you hurt yourself?
34996Have you, indeed? 34996 He did?"
34996How about money?
34996How are you, Bancroft? 34996 How did you find it out?
34996How does Andy get on with the work? 34996 I beg your pardon, señor, but did you send some one to ride your mare?"
34996I believe it''s really because he''s afraid; and he need n''t be, for I do it very well-- don''t I, Ned?
34996I did n''t hurt you, did I, Curt?
34996If Lena does n''t care about the looks of it, why should I, or you?
34996In the name of God, then, who is it?
34996Is anything the matter?
34996Is he supposed to be living here?
34996Is he trying to drive them farther away?
34996Is n''t it right that it should?
34996Is that right, Curt? 34996 Is that the only one loose?"
34996Is there an answer?
34996José, what did you do it for?
34996José,he said,"how did you get such skill in throwing the knife?
34996José,said Curtis in a low tone,"you made a mistake about that wolf last night, did n''t you?
34996José? 34996 Know anything about him, Aleck?"
34996Melgares? 34996 My father-- the bank-- can we go so far?"
34996Oh, Dearie-- you do n''t know, do you-- and daddy-- you do n''t know about daddy?
34996Oh, daddy dear,she coaxed,"wo n''t you come in and try this duet with us?
34996Oh, where did you get that coat?
34996Pendy? 34996 Really, Mr. Conrad,"she said,"is it true that they ever rope men?
34996Say, Curt,he finally called out,"how do you do it?
34996Say, Jack,said the sheriff, as the Congressman went on up the street,"what sort o''hell do you- all reckon Dell Baxter''s cookin''up now?
34996Say, Sheriff,called Pendleton between his gasps and grunts as he bounced up and down,"are you going to keep up this pace all day?"
34996See if you can find Melgares, will you?
34996Smell it, do n''t you?
34996So you think you are going to pay for me that way, do you? 34996 That noble steed of yours is sure gettin''a gait on him, ai n''t he?
34996The First National? 34996 The cow- punch that''s feeling so happy?
34996The same whose mare--?
34996The_ patron_ wishes it; and why not? 34996 Then what-- by God, are you one of Dell Baxter''s thugs?
34996Then who did? 34996 Then why do you give them the office?"
34996Then you''ll be back here before you do anything? 34996 There''s no limit to your bad opinion of a man, is there, Curt, if he once gets into your disfavor?
34996This is a particularly audacious case, though-- don''t you think so, Aleck?
34996To ride my mare? 34996 Was the bank building injured?"
34996Was there much rain in Golden to- day?
34996Well, Betty B.,he said, patting her neck,"you and I have had a devil of a time to- day, have n''t we, old girl?
34996Well, if you know he''s a horse thief, why do n''t you arrest him?
34996Well, now that you have it all, what are you going to do about it?
34996Well, what did you find out then?
34996Well, what do you want?
34996Well, why did n''t you?
34996Well,he said quietly,"what do you want?
34996What about him?
34996What are we going to do all the rest of the day?
34996What difference does it make when we can never see each other again?
34996What do you know about him?
34996What do you mean, Jenkins,he went on,"by deserting to Martinez?
34996What do you say, José?
34996What does it mean, Fanny? 34996 What is it, Betty?
34996What is it, Betty?
34996What is it?
34996What sort?
34996What''s the matter with you, José?
34996Who can it be?
34996Who is he?
34996Who was riding herd?
34996Whose sisters, Lucy?
34996Why did n''t he come out in the open like a man and tell me who he was, and let us fight it out on the square? 34996 Why did n''t they rebuild on higher ground?"
34996Why do you say''afraid,''Dearie?
34996Why does n''t he shoot?
34996Why have you raked up this old story?
34996Why, Homer,exclaimed Curtis, stopping in astonishment at the door,"what are you doing?"
34996Why, lad, what''s the matter? 34996 Wilder, take his gun, will you?
34996Will he never keep still a second?
34996Will he never shoot?
34996Will you please say precisely what you mean?
34996Would n''t it be jolly to go at a gallop all the way down the canyon, from the mountains to Golden? 34996 Yes; ai n''t you Liberato Herrara?"
34996Yes; was n''t it surprising? 34996 Yes?"
34996You are not going to Don Dellmey?
34996You do n''t mean that you really intend to kill the man?
34996You really think his opposition to me down here is important?
34996You saw Conrad''s mare just now?
34996You sent for me, Señor Jenkins?
34996You''ll soon find out, Miss Bancroft, if you do n''t know it already, that the cowboy song of''What was your name in the States?'' 34996 You-- you''re not dead, Jenkins, are you?"
34996A moment of silence followed, and then she heard her father''s cool and even voice,"But suppose he should put one through yours first?"
34996After I tell you--""About that beautiful place?
34996And I''m learning to ride now, Mr. Conrad, and father thinks I''m getting on very well; do n''t you, daddy?"
34996And any man who would deliberately bring ruin and death into so many households-- don''t you think yourself he''s worse than any murderer?"
34996And in that matter of Curtis Conrad and José Gonzalez-- had he not put himself at Baxter''s mercy?
34996And why do the men allow it?"
34996And you say he''s living in New Mexico now?"
34996Anything I can do for you?"
34996Anything new?"
34996Are you another who knows?"
34996Are you sure of it?"
34996Are you sure?"
34996As for Señora Melgares, are you crazy enough to suppose I had anything to do with that?"
34996As he finished Gonzalez bent a keen gaze upon him and asked, significantly,"Has the señor further instructions for me?"
34996B., with such a daughter as that?"
34996Bancroft''s eyes fell, but his reply came quickly enough:"Well, and what is that to me?"
34996Bancroft?"
34996Baxter said Conrad had been to see him-- then did Curtis know by this time?
34996Before he could answer Wilder sprang forward demanding,"Is she gone?"
34996But Lucy-- does she know anything about it?"
34996But could he go to his best friend with such a charge, to taunt, insult, and challenge to death, on the word of a Mexican assassin?
34996But could she tell him that she was aware of his secret?
34996But did you know anything about the Delafield affair in Boston, fifteen or sixteen years ago?"
34996But how had he found out?
34996But it was not long until he was saying grimly to himself,"What have I to do with love- making and winning a wife?
34996But it was quickly repressed, as he suavely asked,"Well, what do you say?"
34996But was there not in her steady gray eyes a hint of passionate depths he had never thought of before?
34996But why does he keep those Mexican thugs hanging around him if it is n''t to use them for things he would n''t dare do himself?
34996But wo n''t you trust me about this, and love me just the same?
34996But, I say, José, why do n''t you give up this rattlesnake business?
34996But, daddy, wo n''t that make it better for poor José Maria?
34996But--"and he shrugged his shoulders with the air of one who says,"What would you?"
34996By the way, is it true that the Castletons are behind Johnny Martinez?"
34996CHAPTER III MISTAKE, OR BLUNDER?
34996Ca n''t I do something for you before I go out?
34996Ca n''t we go that far?
34996Ca n''t you think of some way to head Lena off and get her away before she does any mischief?"
34996Curtis Conrad--""What about him?"
34996Curtis rushed in at the report, calling out,"What''s the matter, Aleck?"
34996Delafield evidently meant to buy him off with it and, if he accepted, did he not tacitly accept that condition?
34996Did any of you?"
34996Did he change his mind?
34996Did he shoot?"
34996Did she not say she had been asleep?
34996Did the Congressman think his political opposition important enough to make his taking off desirable?
34996Did the Congressman wish to keep a hold on him to hamper, perhaps even to control, his movements?
34996Did you see the scrimmage?"
34996Did you see what it was, Andy?"
34996Do n''t you know Lena ca n''t be managed that way?
34996Do n''t you think so, daddy?"
34996Do n''t you think, Mr. Conrad, that killing is a rather severe punishment for mistakes of judgment?"
34996Do you know what he''s here for?"
34996Do you know where we are?"
34996Do you know whether he''s been doing any outrageous talking lately?"
34996Do you know-- about your father-- and this man-- and yet you will go with him?"
34996Do you remember whether or not you''ve ever met him?"
34996Do you think you can sleep?
34996Does Miss Dent ride?"
34996Does he know?
34996Does he_ sabe_?"
34996Does she know, too?"
34996Even if Lucy cared for him, which he hardly dared to hope, would she marry a man who had so long guided his life by such purposes as he had cherished?
34996Even if she had why should she care about it?
34996Furthermore, could she do it without betraying her own secret, without laying bare the love that burned in her heart?
34996Give it up?
34996Had n''t you better think again about that?
34996Had not Aleck suffered enough already?
34996Had nothing happened, then?
34996Had that creature found some new screw he could turn?
34996Had the young ranchman, with his impetuous loyalty, told his friend what had happened in the Albuquerque hotel?
34996Had there been some new development?
34996Has anything happened to you?"
34996Has anything happened?"
34996Has he got hold of something new about Delafield?"
34996Has he sent you down here to stick me in the back?"
34996Has that measly greaser made any more attempts on your life, my dear Conrad?
34996Have I killed her?"
34996Have the Castletons gone yet?
34996Have you any idea who''s behind the greaser?"
34996Have you had a nap, and do you feel better?"
34996Have you seen anything of him?
34996Have you seen him?
34996Have you, Jack?"
34996He drew his chair nearer and in confidential tones began to inquire about the young cattleman:"Has Conrad got much influence?"
34996He turned to seek the road, saying to himself,"What, then, shall I do?"
34996Her voice was as soft as velvet and as caressing as an infant''s palm as she exclaimed:"Do anything?
34996His breath came hard and his voice was thick as he asked:"Is there no alternative?"
34996How did you leave things down in old Silverside?
34996How does daddy happen to have it?"
34996How long have you known?"
34996How''s the trial going?"
34996I ask you once more, the last time, who is it?"
34996I suppose you were roped into some of his schemes?"
34996I?
34996If Baxter had decided that his affairs would go more smoothly with Conrad out of the way, why should he, Alexander Bancroft, trouble himself further?
34996If Baxter knew, was the story out?
34996If I let you have this information will you agree to use it and your influence in such a way as to induce him to join in with Johnny Martinez?"
34996If you''re not killed you''re likely to be badly wounded-- perhaps lose an eye or a leg-- and what can you gain by it?
34996Is anything of the kind going to happen again?"
34996Is it a bargain?"
34996Is it any of our affair, even if Conrad is our good friend?
34996Is n''t he cunning?
34996Is n''t that enough?
34996Is n''t that enough?"
34996Is that him comin''yonder?
34996Is this a new fad?"
34996It said only:"Will you go to ride with me this afternoon up the canyon?
34996It was n''t the wolf you thought it was when you made ready to shoot, was it?"
34996It would n''t be hard to get to the Mexican border on her back, would it?"
34996It would n''t be the healthiest thing in the world for you if I should kill myself shut up in this room with you, would it?"
34996José stooped to hitch the traces, and Curtis broke out impulsively:"I say, José, what makes you do this sort of thing?
34996Littleton had some personal interest in Delafield''s failure, did n''t he?"
34996Looks like a good traveller, does n''t she?"
34996MISTAKE, OR BLUNDER?
34996Mr. Bancroft had just gone out, probably for only a few minutes; would n''t she wait?
34996Mr. Conrad, will you let me shave you?"
34996No; what do you mean?"
34996No?
34996Of course, it would be a humiliation; but so was the whole hateful business, and what was one little thing more or less?
34996Or was he the one who defaulted and jumped into the Charles River?"
34996Or would n''t you like to go with me?
34996Pendleton sat upright, calling out,"Say, fellows, is there any blood on my back?"
34996Pretty good, are n''t they?"
34996Señor Don Curtis Conrad?"
34996Shall we make it half and half?"
34996She went down to the gate, saying in Spanish,"Do you want anything, Pablo?"
34996She''s a bully fine girl and we like her, do n''t we, Betty Brown?
34996Should I deserve to lose him?"
34996Should he give up the girl he loved without an effort, even though his rival be his brother?
34996Skipped, did n''t he, with a lot of funds?
34996Smiling slightly, he replied,"What has he done to stir you up so?
34996So he''s a friend of yours, is he?
34996Tell me, Lucy, do you love me?"
34996That was a high old time we had at the barbecue, was n''t it?
34996That''s Bancroft''s bank, is n''t it?
34996That''s sure, is it, Curt?"
34996The Mexican turned and replied in precise English with grave courtesy,"Did the señor speak to me?"
34996The man was a Mexican, was n''t he?"
34996Then quickly came the self- questioning: What would she think of him if she knew the purpose that had been animating him all his life?
34996Then the old idea took possession again, and he said to himself, almost with anger,"What business have I to fall in love?"
34996Then you wo n''t mind my going, will you?
34996Thirsty?
34996Turning to Conrad with a quizzical smile, he said:"Well, Curt, does n''t that rather take the edge off your purpose?
34996Was it already going from mouth to mouth?
34996Was it me you were after when you stuck your knife in that skunk?"
34996Was n''t it jolly of him to think of it this stupid, yellow afternoon?"
34996We''ll have some lovely rides, wo n''t we?
34996What could I mean except that Mr. Conrad did n''t need to be distracted from Lena, especially as her methods are so broad?"
34996What do they care about it?
34996What do you think about it, my lady?"
34996What do you think about it?"
34996What do you think of his chances down there?
34996What earthly good will that do you?
34996What harm will it do?"
34996What is the matter?
34996What sort of a scheme was it?"
34996What was he doing?
34996What was he like?"
34996What was his purpose in so doing?
34996What''s the matter with your arm, Curt?"
34996What''s this about Jenkins?"
34996What''s to become of him in the midst of all these sighs and glances?"
34996What, then, did that five- hundred- dollar check mean that Curtis had given to Jenkins?
34996When are you going back to the ranch?"
34996When he turned again to his wife he asked,"Well, dear, what are you going to do about it?"
34996When they came out she protested that she was starving, that he must be too, and could n''t they sit right down and have something to eat?
34996Where do you want to bunk, José?
34996Where were they now?
34996Where''s Curt?"
34996Why are you still shaking your gory locks and roaring like a wounded bull at him when he''s evidently doing the square thing by you?
34996Why do n''t you accept his offer to pay back the money as fast as he can?
34996Why do n''t you let up on your chase and give him a chance?"
34996Why not?"
34996Why should I interfere with Lena''s whims?"
34996Why should a man want more than one pretty girl to protect him from the designs of a lady who-- well-- who wants to shave him?
34996Why should he be hunted down like this when he was willing to make restitution, even after all these years?
34996Why should he want you assassinated?"
34996Why was n''t the man sensible enough to take the money he was willing to pay, and be satisfied?
34996Why?"
34996Will you be my wife?"
34996With Conrad so intent upon his destruction had he not every right to protect himself and his child?
34996Wo n''t you have another cigar, Mr. Bancroft?
34996Wo n''t you tell me now that you do love me?"
34996Would a tenderfoot be in your way?"
34996Would he come and look at them?
34996Would it be possible to take up the daily life again as if nothing had happened?
34996Would n''t you like it, Dearie?
34996Would she sympathize with Conrad?
34996Would there be a chance for him, then?
34996Would you like to meet them?
34996Would you mind letting me use your knife?
34996Yet-- what mattered the rest if she could save his life and, perhaps, his future?
34996You have come in all this rain?
34996You know I''m not ungrateful or unappreciative, do n''t you, Curt?
34996You know Silverside County as well as any man in it-- how do things look?"
34996You must have heard what he said; how did it strike you to hear a young man boast of his intention to commit murder?"
34996You understand, do n''t you,"he added in a tone almost apologetic,"that it is hard for me to believe what you say?"
34996You''re as square as they make''em in most things; why do you go into this damned rattlesnake business?"
34996You''ve heard?
34996where''d you drop from?"
17088A bay horse?
17088A colour line, eh?
17088A proposition? 17088 Ah, so?"
17088And if she believes you''re ruined?
17088And if the man''s horses are taken sick?
17088And is she crazy to marry him?
17088And somebody else holding the sack, eh?
17088And the condition?
17088And what are the three bondholders you represent worth?
17088And what''s the penalty if you fail to finish the work in those three months?
17088And you think you''ve taken all precautions?
17088And you''re not working too hard?
17088And your father''s here?
17088Any idea in your mind where those fellows may locate their filings?
17088Any relation to Jack Morris?
17088Are you coming? 17088 Are you in earnest?"
17088Are you jealous?
17088Are you ready, Ruth?
17088Because I grabbed her? 17088 But give me ten minutes of your time before you go, will you, dear?"
17088But what if it sets in to snow? 17088 But what will you do?"
17088But why? 17088 Cancellation?
17088Come with me out of earshot, will you, Lee?
17088Did I seem to be dreaming when you spoke? 17088 Did n''t I speak clearly?"
17088Dip me some water out of that hole while I look at my tires, will you?
17088Do I look as block- headed as that?
17088Do n''t you see that rain coming? 17088 Do n''t you think him a remarkable man?"
17088Do n''t you yourselves wish a drink? 17088 Do you dig up the roots, or cover them, or let them freeze?
17088Do you imagine for a minute we''ll keep the paper?
17088Do you know what I see there in the firelight? 17088 Do you like them thus?"
17088Do you really think you could finish the ditch on time?
17088Do you think I should?
17088Do you think we could do it?
17088Does Ruth suspect that I''ve ceased to love her?
17088Does your going now have to do with your project?
17088Even if she knew I had ceased to love her? 17088 Everything?"
17088Five dollars for a man and his team, is it not so?
17088For farms on which you''re now using it, you mean?
17088For marriage?
17088For the twenty or twenty- five thousand dollars more that will be needed? 17088 Forget?
17088Girlie, you''re not going to throw me down? 17088 Gretzinger back?"
17088Has she recovered from her cold?
17088Have I your permission, Dave?
17088Higginson, is that his name?
17088How about it? 17088 How can I build a canal here if you wo n''t let me go through?"
17088How long have you known this?
17088How long have you worked here?
17088How much do you want?
17088How much water in this right?
17088How much?
17088How''s Imogene?
17088How''s that?
17088How''s your man?
17088I want you to increase the force to double its strength at once, so that the work--"What are you paying a yard for moving dirt?
17088I wonder if I really love him enough, or if I made a little fool of myself this afternoon?
17088I''ll surprise him some day by just walking up to his cot and saying:''Good morning, how''s my patient?'' 17088 If a man falls sick while at work, would he have the services of the doctor?"
17088If-- perhaps father----"Your father? 17088 Imo here?"
17088Imo, are n''t you thirsty? 17088 Is Mike alive yet?"
17088Is he going away?
17088Is it? 17088 Is she away?
17088Is that all?
17088Is the release made out? 17088 Is this money; a hundred dollars?"
17088Lost a horse, or a wife or something, Joe?
17088Luncheon, what do they call dinner that for?
17088Menocal got it, you say?
17088Mind if Carrigan hears what we say? 17088 Must I shut the door in your face to silence you?
17088My poor one- armed man, how is he?
17088Ninety days? 17088 Oh, it''s you, is it?
17088Only a little?
17088Or do you refuse to share this pleasure with me?
17088Or live in other places like it? 17088 See this?
17088Sick?
17088So you''re too busy now, eh?
17088That good- for- nothing Ruth what''s- her- name?
17088That''s all that''s left to do, Lee?
17088Then you do n''t intend to consider bondholders as having a voice in matters?
17088There are girls there, are there not?
17088There wo n''t be room for three of us, will there?
17088To see me?
17088To- morrow-- or the next day?
17088Trying to start a big drunk here?
17088We seem to have fair health, do n''t we, Dave?
17088Well, ai n''t matters just as bad now?
17088Well, are we going to get together on an arrangement?
17088Well, what of it?
17088Well, what? 17088 Well?"
17088Well?
17088Well?
17088Well?
17088Well?
17088Wet anyway, even if warm, eh, Dick?
17088What about Dave himself with all these rough men?
17088What about it?
17088What about supper?
17088What about water if our pipe freezes?
17088What are you thinking of?
17088What became of all those flowers that were in your garden last summer?
17088What do you mean?
17088What do you think he did for me?
17088What does this mean, Charlie? 17088 What good in that?"
17088What happened, Stevenson?
17088What has he done? 17088 What has he done?"
17088What have you been doing to bring you into Winship''s office?
17088What have you besides your outfit? 17088 What if I have?"
17088What if a man''s wife or children fall sick?
17088What is her situation?
17088What is it? 17088 What is it?"
17088What is your price?
17088What makes you think so?
17088What was it I had started to say? 17088 What was it, Miss Graham?"
17088What''s going on?
17088What''s the trouble, Jack?
17088What''s this fellow''s name who bought out Stevenson?
17088What''s wrong with the sheep?
17088What''s wrong, Lee?
17088When do you go to the capital?
17088When you put me first and the canal second, why, who knows what I may think then?
17088When you yet had the bulk of the money?
17088When? 17088 Where did you get that stuff?"
17088Where do you get the authority to decide that my business is a small matter?
17088Where is he?
17088Where is she to- night? 17088 Where is she?
17088Where''s the Recorder?
17088Wherein is the actual situation better?
17088Who is he?
17088Who?
17088Why did he throw it at me in the first place? 17088 Why did n''t you stop work when you received notification from the state engineer of the Land and Water Board''s action?"
17088Why did they let you start if they proposed afterward to hang a sword above your head?
17088Why did you throw it back?
17088Why do n''t your outfit sell instead of trying to buy?
17088Why in the name of all that''s sensible have n''t you gone to your uncle''s? 17088 Why should I?"
17088Why should n''t I be calm? 17088 Why should you lose five dollars a day because of Menocal''s bad feeling for me?
17088Why, what are you doing?
17088Why?
17088Why?
17088Will Ruth marry me at once, do you think?
17088Will your powder hold out?
17088With Mr. Menocal, even?
17088Wo n''t you stop for a moment, Mr. Bryant? 17088 Wo n''t you use this bag of stakes for a seat?
17088Worried?
17088Would it be that if you succeed with your project?
17088Would it be that?
17088Would you revive me a second time if I threatened to faint?
17088Yes, and what are ten days with two feet of snow on the ground and the mercury forty below zero?
17088You mean it, Lee?
17088You mean the work would stop, that you could n''t finish it on time?
17088You surely do n''t really believe what you''ve just stated about his bragging? 17088 You wish to speak with me?"
17088You yet want men and teams for your work, señor?
17088You''ll not let your irrigation project keep you here always?
17088You''re certainly not going into this thing on your own account, are you? 17088 You''re not still anxious concerning me?
17088You''re the man who threw my son''s money back at the ford day before yesterday, are n''t you?
17088You''re the young ladies who are homesteading just south of here, are n''t you?
17088You''ve a spade or shovel, I suppose? 17088 You''ve been well?"
17088You?
17088_ Dios!_ You dare talk that way to me?
17088A Ruth who was a Louise, with all of her lovable qualities and splendid courage and fine nobility of heart?
17088After your promise at the ford we were delighted-- and how many calls have we had from you?
17088Afterward credit six hundred dollars to-- What is your name?"
17088Again facing his visitor, he said,"Do you know that that ranch has no water to speak of?
17088Am I to sit here every day and every night at Sarita Creek until your canal is built?"
17088Am I to take back to New York with me your agreement to this?"
17088And I presume that by this time Menocal knows what you''re doing?"
17088And a new one, that startled and dismayed his soul: Did he love her?
17088And addressing Dave, she asked,"Will you drink another glass of buttermilk if I pour it?"
17088And anyway, is n''t it a matter that concerns only the buyers afterward?
17088And your mother died last winter?
17088Anything new up your sleeve?"
17088Anything yet?"
17088Are they fragrant?"
17088Are you making good progress?"
17088At the end of a week, the end of a fortnight?"
17088Besides trying to shake you down?"
17088Bryant straightened up from sighting through his transit, and asked,"What''s on your mind?
17088But her family?"
17088But what if he then refuses to sell me goods from his store?"
17088But who in the devil would touch them?"
17088CHAPTER XXIII"Will you be so kind as to come here?"
17088Can I be of any service to you?"
17088Can it be done?
17088Can you do it?"
17088Can you start in half an hour?"
17088Charlie''s voice spoke, rather truculently:"I told you I was coming for you, did n''t I?
17088Contract?
17088Dave-- is that your name?
17088Did Louise really help during an operation?"
17088Did he say anything in them about this canal or water right having ceased to exist?
17088Did n''t Stevenson deed the place back?"
17088Did n''t she come?"
17088Did she love him at all?
17088Do n''t you agree with me, David?"
17088Do n''t you see someone has come?
17088Do n''t you think Imo and I ever tire of listening to each other?
17088Do n''t, eh?
17088Do you get that clearly?"
17088Do you hear?"
17088Do you wish the money for it?"
17088Does n''t seem a month has passed since I stayed over night with you?
17088Eastern people?"
17088Even a journalist representing a Denver paper appeared, made photographs, and obtained an interview from Bryant consisting of"Finish it on time?
17088Good?
17088Has Mr. Menocal been troubling you in some new way?"
17088Have n''t you seen?"
17088Have you a ranch somewhere near?"
17088He was watching you, remember?"
17088Hello, does that surprise you?
17088His wife exclaimed in appeal,"Oh, John, if Mr. Bryant really means it, why do n''t you say yes?
17088How are the young ladies on Perro Creek getting along?"
17088How did you get here?
17088How does that sound?"
17088How is yours?"
17088How much for the bonds?
17088How much more is there to do?"
17088How much more will it take?
17088How much will the ranch be worth when water is actually delivered?"
17088How much will you need?"
17088How should he save her-- save her from herself, clear the mist from her eyes, arouse her drowsing soul?
17088How''s Mrs. Stevenson?
17088How''s the exchequer?"
17088I guess a Mexican is supposed to be really white, is n''t he?"
17088I share the feeling of my uncle in Kennard--""You have an uncle there?
17088In fact, had a competent engineer ever gone into the matter?
17088Is n''t it a little inconsiderate of you, Lee, to hold him off at arm''s length, especially when he''s here as representative of the bondholders?
17088Is your throat sore?"
17088It hurts my heart to think of you at this homesteading business--""What else was there for me?"
17088It quite offset the slight touch of obstinacy in her chin-- but, in truth, did the latter require an offset?
17088Let the canal system go smash, and where are these notes?
17088Looks do n''t count, do they, partner?"
17088Maybe you''re wondering why I let you sweat all this time?
17088Menocal?"
17088My shares representing a hundred thousand?
17088Oh, Lord, where is it now?"
17088Oh, why do n''t you say yes?"
17088Once my application for changes has been approved and I have the money to build, what can he do?"
17088Only, Charlie Menocal----""Lee, what''s got into you to- night?
17088Or was it that only now her real self was revealed?
17088Or, after all, is it just unconscious egotism?"
17088Pat glanced at the sun, lighted a cigar, and asked:"Do we start a night shift?"
17088Pretty, do n''t you think?"
17088Savey?
17088Send him over the road?"
17088Shall I stop, or do you wish to hear more?"
17088She listen to me?
17088Should he mention his conviction that Charlie was the instigator of the mischief discussed?
17088So he asked:"Have you had your mail lately?"
17088So smiling broadly he said:"We''ve met before, have n''t we, Menocal?
17088So what else is to be expected when the question is one of race and colour?
17088So you''re letting the ranch slide?"
17088Speak up; how much?"
17088Stevenson?"
17088Still at work?"
17088That''s the lane there, is n''t it?"
17088The latter perhaps was Graham?"
17088The thought you might risk twenty thousand dollars----""Why not?
17088The truth-- well, why not?
17088Then he inquired in a matter- of- fact way:"When will you ride up to camp again?"
17088Then looking past Menocal, she exclaimed,"Who is that?"
17088Then she remarked:"Are n''t you dissipating frightfully to- night, Lee?"
17088Then, as if the subject were dismissed, he asked,"What do you wish to see me about?"
17088Therefore it''s much better that I take this step, much better and much wiser-- don''t you think so?
17088Therefore, would he be justified in risking the money on such a desperate venture?
17088Was it indeed impracticable?
17088Was it that she was capable of loving only selfishly?
17088Well, now, are you feeling better?"
17088Well?"
17088Were there not men who would unhesitatingly take hold of this project now and complete it in the time allotted?
17088Were things drifting to such an issue?
17088What about it?
17088What about my offer?"
17088What about your bondholders?
17088What are you going to do about it?
17088What are you going to do with this boy of his?
17088What d''you know about that, Lee?"
17088What do I care for that if we build the canal?
17088What girl?"
17088What has happened now, Lee?"
17088What if you had to choose between us?"
17088What is it?"
17088What means, what help, what law was there of which he could make use to ward off this deadly assault on it?
17088What shall we do about it?"
17088What''s disturbing your brain,_ hombre_?"
17088What''s your last name?"
17088When Bryant and Louise ascended the veranda, Dave loitering below, the engineer said nonchalantly,"Hello, Charlie, how are tricks?
17088When she understood our marriage would be a hollow ceremony?"
17088Where does this move of yours hit Menocal?"
17088Where the devil had they become acquainted?
17088Which of the two girls on Sarita Creek did he love?
17088Which way were they driving?"
17088Who is putting up the money?
17088Who is that fellow wearing handcuffs?"
17088Who knows?
17088Who knows?"
17088Who y''say you got there?"
17088Who''s hurt?"
17088Who''s that waving yonder toward camp?"
17088Who''s this young fellow you speak of as being at the Perro Creek ranch?
17088Why do n''t you?"
17088Why in the name of heaven could n''t he have a Ruth who was like her?
17088Why pretend lies?
17088Why should n''t a girl have a bit of determination in her make- up?
17088Will they stand for risking what''s not yet spent?
17088Will you share my table?"
17088Will you take her with you, or not?"
17088With Charlie Menocal?"
17088Would n''t it be wise to consult him a little more than you do?
17088Would she at last force upon him that hard choice?
17088Would the cost of bringing water to the land be, after all, prohibitive?
17088You are Mr. Bryant, are n''t you?
17088You have everything, Rymer-- cap, coat, gauntlets?
17088You remain idle-- but does he pay you, or feed you?
17088You will do this for me, wo n''t you, Lee?
17088You''ll be glad if he does n''t come back to bother you again, wo n''t you, Lee dear?"
17088Your coat is scorching-- or is it only that tobacco?"
4991''What-- what''s the trouble? 4991 ''What?''
4991And he said to the man in the store,''Please, sir, some liniment and some cement?''
4991And nobody ever discovered these before?
4991And ride all night-- is that what you mean?
4991And then?
4991And they were plotting my life?
4991And this-- this Indian that you knocked down-- was he an Apache?
4991And we ca n''t get down, then?
4991And what are they, Master Stacy?
4991And you knew about this stuff, Juan?
4991And-- and what''ll we be doing?
4991Any idea where the place is?
4991Are all of you lads as quick on an errand as that?
4991Are n''t you going to help us?
4991Are they shooting at us?
4991Are we going through the fire?
4991Are you going to tell a story?
4991Are you hurt, Chunky?
4991Are you sick?
4991Are you there?
4991Be careful, Chunky, what are you doing there?
4991Besieged?
4991Both?
4991But supposing they ask you a question?
4991But there are no trees near here?
4991But what leads you to believe this is the Pueblo village of your particular chief''s ancestors?
4991But whoever heard of sleepy grass?
4991But you did n''t think of it until you saw the table set, did you?
4991But you do n''t think there will be any danger in just going after our guide, do you?
4991But you runned away, eh? 4991 But you wo n''t do so now-- will you?"
4991But you''re not going to desert Tad and Chunky, are you?
4991But, what else can we do, Tad?
4991But, when will they wake up?
4991By whom?
4991By whom?
4991Ca n''t I talk?
4991Ca n''t we get any in some of the towns down here?
4991Ca n''t you be serious for a minute? 4991 Ca n''t you lie still?
4991Can what?
4991Can you boys shoot a rope?
4991Can you see the camp, to know if anyone is there?
4991Cheese is proper, is n''t it?
4991Chunky, what are you getting at?
4991Chunky, you come along and show us where you were when you shot-- did you shoot at an Indian?
4991D- d- do you think they saw us, Tad?
4991Did he see us, do you think, Tad?
4991Did it hurt you?
4991Did they stop in the village?
4991Did you fetch the sacks?
4991Did you hit anything?
4991Did you see him kick when Juan tossed a tomato can against his heels this morning? 4991 Did you see us?"
4991Divining rod?
4991Do n''t you know there''s an Indian with a gun guarding us? 4991 Do they know you''re here?"
4991Do you eat wish bones, Chunky?
4991Do you have any trouble with them?
4991Do you know what the treasure consists of?
4991Do you mean that one of the boys was imprudent enough to build a fire in that grass? 4991 Do you think he really had a pain?"
4991Do you think they will let us take part?
4991Do you think they''ll come back again?
4991Do-- do you think they are alive?
4991Does it strike here very often?
4991Downed you, did he?
4991Ever see a kangaroo jump?
4991Exploring?
4991Fell down the cellar, did n''t I?
4991For what reason?
4991Gives you a creepy feeling, does n''t it?
4991Got what?
4991Guide, what do you know about this?
4991Has some one been tampering with our animals?
4991Have they stampeded?
4991Have you a reliable guide?
4991Have you weapons, Professor?
4991Having lots of fun, ai n''t we, Tad?
4991He? 4991 Hello, now we''ll hear what your new idea is, Chunky?"
4991Hello, what''s the matter back there?
4991Help-- help you find the buried treasure?
4991Here, here, here, what''s the trouble now?
4991Here? 4991 Him go some, señor?"
4991How did you get through the fire?
4991How do you feel now?
4991How do you mean? 4991 How far did you fall?"
4991How far is it to a place where we could get a sheriff?
4991How long we got to stay here?
4991How many?
4991How much did you give Juan?
4991How much is it?
4991How shall we do it?
4991How should I know? 4991 How would you like to have me take the trail with you for a week or so?"
4991How''d Marquand get wise to it?
4991How-- how do you think the fire started?
4991How?
4991How?
4991How?
4991I deny ever having tried to put up a game on--"Master Tad, did you ever see these men before?
4991I fell off my pony, then I fell on you, and we''ll call it quits, eh, Ned?
4991I go back? 4991 I thought they were n''t allowed to do that any more?"
4991I was wondering why there are n''t any sage roosters?
4991I wonder what''s the matter?
4991I wonder where it comes from?
4991I wonder who they are?
4991I''d like to know how?
4991I''d like to know what this is all about?
4991I-- I dunno, I-- I fell off, did n''t I?
4991I-- I dunno; do you?
4991I-- I mean-- say, leggo my neck, will you?
4991I-- I shot the chute-- I-- I mean I chuted the shot-- I mean--"Say, what do you mean?
4991If the burro can find the way what do you think an Indian could do, fellows?
4991Indeed?
4991Is he a hermit?
4991Is it good?
4991Is it possible? 4991 Is n''t he coming to meet us?"
4991Is n''t this great?
4991Is old man Marquand going to meet us at the station?
4991Is that one of them?
4991Is-- is he Santa Claus?
4991Juan, did you see two men get off the train at Bluewater yesterday when we did? 4991 Juan?
4991Know anybody by the name of Marquand in this country?
4991Know them?
4991Know what they are, Tad?
4991Know''em?
4991Lasar and Comstock? 4991 Laugh?
4991Master Stacy and myself know what they tried to do, do n''t we, lad?
4991May we explore these caves, Professor?
4991May we go down now?
4991My friend Chunky will go with me, if agreeable to you?
4991Not that stuff you fed me when I ate too much honey in the Rockies?
4991Not the one we ducked in the spring, was it?
4991Not-- not through that fire?
4991Now what''s the matter?
4991Now, I wonder what next?
4991Now, is n''t that sweet of him?
4991Now, what can I do for you? 4991 Now, where''s your theory?"
4991On account of?
4991Pain? 4991 Please let us?"
4991Professor, had n''t you better fetch your medicine case and dose him up?
4991Saw who, Chunky?
4991Say, Tad,called Walter,"what do you say to our jumping our ponies some time to- day?"
4991Scarecrows?
4991See anything wrong with that cheese?
4991See here, Stacy Brown, what did you see-- what did you shoot at?
4991See it? 4991 See that hole in the roof up there?"
4991See those little projections of rock slanting down toward the shelf?
4991Sha n''t I go hold the top down?
4991Shall we count it?
4991Sleepy grass?
4991So that''s it, is it?
4991Some what?
4991Stacy Brown, are you responsible for this?
4991Sure they''re asleep?
4991Sure thing, boy, but I reckon you''d better not be going any further?
4991Tad, what foolish idea have you in mind now? 4991 Tell me about it?"
4991Thank you,said Tad, touching his pony;"Going on?"
4991That would be good sport, would n''t it, Ned?
4991The gun?
4991The other fellow was n''t with him, if that''s what you mean?
4991The question is, how are we going to get near enough to explore them? 4991 The rascals are all out in front of the house, are n''t they?"
4991Then will you please tell us what is the matter with them?
4991Then you believe him-- you do not believe me?
4991Then you think?
4991Then, then, we''ve got to remain here all the rest of the afternoon and night-- is that it?
4991Then, you''ve seen him? 4991 Then-- then our information is going to be of some use to you?"
4991Then-- then we wo n''t have to go dry any more-- I can find water with this when I''m dry?
4991They? 4991 Think so?
4991Think those are the Indians that wanted to shoot us, Tad?
4991Think you want some liquor still, Juan, or would you prefer another dose of my magic drops?
4991Under the circumstances, as my opponent objects, and as we all wish to prevent hard feelings, why not give him a chance as well? 4991 W- w- where?"
4991Want another one already?
4991Want it?
4991Want, to get shot full of holes? 4991 Was he alone?"
4991Was it very terrible, Tad?
4991Wat''cher want? 4991 Watch the camp?"
4991We came pretty near having a fight, did n''t we?
4991We want to know if you think we''ve seen the last of the Apaches? 4991 Well, did I say this fellow was a boy?"
4991Well, have you two been getting into difficulties also?
4991Well, what is it, Chunky?
4991Well, what is it, young man?
4991Well, what''s the matter, Chunky?
4991Well, what''s the matter?
4991Well, you see--"How much is it?
4991Were they afraid of the smoke? 4991 Were those Apaches?"
4991Wha''d he say?
4991Wha-- what?
4991What am I going to do for a pony?
4991What bottle?
4991What did you give him, professor?
4991What do you mean?
4991What do you mean?
4991What do you suppose could have happened to them?
4991What do you want?
4991What does that indicate, Tad?
4991What does this mean? 4991 What does this mean?"
4991What does this mean?
4991What for, Kringle?
4991What for? 4991 What has happened?
4991What have you to say to that?
4991What if the Indians chase us?
4991What is Mr. Lasar''s business?
4991What is it you wish?
4991What is it, Chunky?
4991What is it, Master Stacy?
4991What is it-- what''s the trouble now?
4991What is it? 4991 What is it?"
4991What is it?
4991What is it?
4991What is it?
4991What is it?
4991What is it?
4991What is that?
4991What kicked me?
4991What kind of a contest?
4991What makes you think that?
4991What of him?
4991What on earth made you do a crazy thing like that?
4991What sort of a looking pony is yours?
4991What was all that row?
4991What was it that he saw?
4991What was the matter?
4991What you doing here?
4991What you doing that for?
4991What you going to do-- sneak?
4991What you got there?
4991What''s our side show?
4991What''s that for?
4991What''s that you say? 4991 What''s that, Master Ned?"
4991What''s that?
4991What''s that?
4991What''s that?
4991What''s that?
4991What''s that?
4991What''s the matter with the ponies?
4991What''s the meaning of this shooting?
4991What''s the other thing?
4991What''s the row?
4991What''s up? 4991 What''s your plan?"
4991What, sleep twenty- four hours?
4991What, the dance, or what happened afterwards?
4991What-- didn''t duck us? 4991 What-- what is it?"
4991What?
4991What?
4991What?
4991What?
4991What?
4991Whe-- where are you?
4991When do we start?
4991When you get quieted down perhaps you''ll be good enough to tell me who it is you saw?
4991Where are you going?
4991Where are you going?
4991Where did they go? 4991 Where did you say they were going, Juan?"
4991Where is he?
4991Where they going?
4991Where, where?
4991Where?
4991Where?
4991Where?
4991Where?
4991Which direction did Master Stacy take?
4991Which one is the better at it?
4991Which way are you headed?
4991Who are you and what do you mean by shooting us up in this fashion?
4991Who are you?
4991Who can it be?
4991Who is he?
4991Who you mean-- Santa Claus?
4991Who you?
4991Who''s afraid of Indians?
4991Who''s telling this story?
4991Why did n''t you make yourself known-- why have n''t you helped us to unload?
4991Why did n''t you tell us?
4991Why do n''t you shoot at them?
4991Why do n''t you?
4991Why not start now?
4991Why not?
4991Why should we make a fire and thus make targets of ourselves?
4991Why you do this?
4991Why, it does n''t have to work, does it? 4991 Why-- why did n''t we think to bring some down with us?"
4991Why?
4991Will you join us and have some supper?
4991Will you please tell me how we can reach the place? 4991 Wing you?"
4991Wonder what they''ve got up their sleeves?
4991Wonder who did that?
4991Would either of you know Lasar were you to see him again, do you think?
4991Would it not be a good idea to find out whether or not there is water here?
4991Would you?
4991Yes, but what if they''re not? 4991 Yes, how did they get to their houses?"
4991Yes, what is it?
4991Yes, what''s that got to do with our present predicament?
4991Yes; I do n''t see why it might not be any of the ruined adobe houses in this valley?
4991Yes; what do you think we''re paying you good American dollars for?
4991Yes?
4991Yes?
4991You did n''t hear them say what their plan was, then?
4991You know that sage hen we had?
4991You mean the one we heard talking just before we got to Bluewater?
4991You mean you know one of them?
4991You mean?
4991You promise not to gamble the money away if we give it to you?
4991You speak English?
4991You''re the guilty one, eh?
4991You-- are you the guide?
4991You-- you call me a tenderfoot?
4991You-- you have n''t told them your plans?
4991You?
4991You?
4991Your stomach?
4991And those Indians-- say, Ned, do you think they will bother us any more?"
4991Are they easy to get at?"
4991Boys, what do you think of it now?
4991But how do you suppose he knew they were over there?"
4991CHAPTER IX THE MIDNIGHT ALARM"What''s this, what''s this?"
4991CHAPTER XIV AGAINST BIG ODDS"What is it, Chunky?"
4991CHAPTER XVIII FACING THE ENEMY''S GUNS"Do we go in?"
4991Can you describe the man whom you saw with him on the train?"
4991Can you walk?"
4991Did you recognize either of them as the fellow you knocked down the other might?"
4991Do n''t we know there''s water here?
4991Do n''t you know enough to quit when you''re through?"
4991Do n''t you know?"
4991Do n''t you know?"
4991Do n''t you see we are in a fix?"
4991Do you know him?"
4991Do you know?"
4991Do you understand?"
4991Does n''t it usually rain when you have a thunder storm here?"
4991Does the old man know where the place is?"
4991Ever see one?"
4991Going to pull it over?"
4991Got room enough?"
4991Got the nerve?"
4991Guide?"
4991Have we any more stakes in camp?"
4991Have you a hatchet?"
4991Have you any title to this property?"
4991He rushed into a drug store--""Was anything chasing him?"
4991He''s over on the other side--""Who?
4991Hear''em growl at each other?"
4991How many does that leave?"
4991How would you boys like to join me?
4991I take for granted that neither of you smoke?"
4991I thought when we got a new guide-- but what''s the use?
4991I wonder if they''d hurt us, Tad?"
4991I''ve got a six- shooter and so have you, but what do they amount to against half a dozen rifles?"
4991Is it good to eat?"
4991Is that clear now?"
4991It ca n''t be possible that anyone is deliberately shooting at us?"
4991It will be an interesting experience for you?"
4991Juan?"
4991Kringle?"
4991Kringle?"
4991Kringle?"
4991Marquand?"
4991Marquand?"
4991Marquand?"
4991Now they were sure of it, for had not the lad told them so himself?
4991One of them had a big, broad sombrero like mine?"
4991Professor, will you join us?"
4991See it?"
4991Shall I ask Chunky''s pardon?"
4991So you thought to hoodwink me-- to get the secret of the treasure and then put me out of the way, eh?
4991Stacy glanced at it indifferently;"What do I want of a bottle?"
4991Suppose we boys take turns?"
4991Supposing the others take a try?"
4991Tad glanced at his companion keenly;"Getting cold feet, Chunky?"
4991That was your game, was it?
4991That would be a nice thing to do, would n''t it?
4991That''s the best plan; do n''t you think so?"
4991The Pony Rider Boys in New Mexico or The End of the Silver Trail by Frank Gee Patchin, 1910 CHAPTER I SOMETHING IN THE WIND"What was that?"
4991They do n''t live about here, do they, Juan?"
4991They''ll be surprised to see a procession of ponies going over the table, wo n''t they?"
4991They''re going to hold a fire dance to- night--""A fire dance?"
4991Think I''m a tenderfoot?
4991Think they''ll stand a blow?"
4991Understand?"
4991Was I right or was I wrong?"
4991Wat''cher want?"
4991Wat''s matter with you?"
4991We are very much mystified?"
4991What Rind of wood is it?"
4991What ails you fellows?
4991What ails you?"
4991What are you doing out there?"
4991What are you looking at?"
4991What can we do here?
4991What do you want liniment and cement for?''
4991What does that mean?"
4991What has happened?"
4991What is it?"
4991What made them break away?"
4991What man?"
4991What sort of man is your guide?"
4991What you going to do?"
4991What''s going on over there?"
4991What''s his other name?"
4991What''s the matter with you?"
4991What''s the matter with you?"
4991What''s the meaning of this, guide?"
4991What''s your idea?"
4991Where are you from?"
4991Where do you suppose the Indians found them?"
4991Where is he?"
4991Where you hail from and where to?"
4991Where''s the garden?"
4991Where''s your pony?"
4991Who will get the bags?"
4991Who''s going in swimming with me?"
4991Why do n''t you laugh?"
4991Why?"
4991Will somebody go over to the camp and get those gunny sacks of mine?
4991Will they bother us any more?"
4991Will you tell me where I may find him?"
4991Would n''t it be funny to see some umpires kicked over the high board fence?"
4991You can find your way, ca n''t you?"
4991You do n''t think I''m going to stay here all night, do you?"
4991You here yet?"
4991You think they may give as further trouble?"
21240A gaol from which there can be no escape-- need I name it?
21240Air this chile awake, or only dreaming? 21240 Am I not robbing you?"
21240An''whar did he git it? 21240 And anyone could pass out below?"
21240And so you must go to- morrow, Senor Francisco?
21240And the route you were to take?
21240And there''s no other by which the valley may be entered?
21240And you are really determined on Miranda''s death?
21240And you say the path leads down between them?
21240And you think of coming this way?
21240Are they Comanches, Walt?
21240At what?
21240But how do you intend to keep them from following us? 21240 But how is it to be done without scandal?
21240But surely you do n''t mean to kill them in cold blood?
21240But surely, Colonel Miranda,he said at length,"there could be no danger of such an event as that you speak of?"
21240But what can he do to us?
21240But what does he want with me?
21240But why do n''t you both have it, then?
21240But why should we lose a moment?
21240But why should you stay for him?
21240But why, Colonel Miranda?
21240But, Pedrillo,he inquires, after a pause;"what did he say to them?
21240Can Uraga have sent him back on any errand?
21240Can he read?
21240Can we be sure it''s you, Walt?
21240Colonel Miranda, is it you?
21240Colonel Miranda-- your name, I believe-- need I attempt to express my thanks for so much generosity? 21240 Did I not say,"continues Wilder,"that I seed two men''mong the Injuns wi''ha''r upon thar faces?
21240Did it particularise the time you expected to reach Albuquerque?
21240Do you call that good news? 21240 Do you intend accompanying Don Francisco?"
21240Do you mean the man or the mule?
21240Do you not see the mistake you have made?
21240Do you reflect what your life is worth?
21240Do you think it''s been that, ayadante?
21240Do you think that danger to your life would be unhappiness to her''s-- your death her life''s misery?
21240Do you think you are able to ride?
21240Does the senorita pronounce with the same determination?
21240Does your comrade understand Spanish?
21240Drowned? 21240 Elsewhere, then?"
21240For what purpose?
21240For what reason, senor? 21240 Gone down the Pecos?
21240Gone-- whither?
21240He is going home first, and will then come back?
21240He must die?
21240He''s a stranger to you, then?
21240How d''ye devise, then?
21240How did this happen, Jose?
21240How do you mean, Frank? 21240 How is the thing to be done?"
21240How should he know?
21240How so, colonel?
21240How so?
21240How?
21240How?
21240I am alone here-- what am I to do?
21240I guess we may spring the trap? 21240 I hope you''ve placed him so that he can command a good view of the valley below?"
21240I spoke of events, incidents, and coincidences-- didn''t I,_ ayadante_?
21240I thought you had arranged it in a different way?
21240In what did they differ from other savages? 21240 In what respect?
21240In what way?
21240Is it yourself?
21240It he d to be did; thar war no help for it,said Wilder, as he hurriedly turned towards his companion, adding:"Have you got the guns charged?"
21240It will take them-- how many days to reach the Tenawas''town, and how many back to the Pecos?
21240It''s been a long, tedious tramp, has n''t it? 21240 Kin he hev been eatin''it?
21240Kin it be night?
21240Kin it be possyble? 21240 Need you ask, senorita?
21240Not yet, I should think?
21240Now, Don Gil Uraga,demands the lady, on being left alone with the intruder,"what have you to say to me that should not be overheard?"
21240On that trail, indeed?
21240On what, Don Francisco?
21240On what?
21240Senor coronel,he says,"how much will your excellency give to know where my master now is?
21240Should we go down after him, or stay here till he comes up?
21240Something gone down yonder, and not yet dead?
21240Suppose they get sight of us before we''re near? 21240 Sure, how?"
21240Take up the trail o''a Tenawa Injun? 21240 That''s a strange tale,"rejoins Roblez, adding,"And Barbato?"
21240The Dona Adela?
21240Then what''s taken him down the Pecos? 21240 They are to die, then?"
21240Till the flood falls? 21240 To do what?"
21240To settle in the country?
21240To the chief, then?
21240Valerian?
21240WHY COMES HE NOT?
21240Well, suppose I clump them altogether, and give you the story in a simple narrative-- a monologue? 21240 Well, you desired a pretext, did n''t you?"
21240Well, you saw him deliver the letter to Barbato?
21240Well,_ ayadante_,he begins, as soon as they are safe beyond earshot,"what''s your opinion of things now?"
21240What about these two-- our Mexican friends?
21240What air we to do?
21240What are we to do?
21240What are you referring to?
21240What can they be doing out here? 21240 What d''ye say, cap?"
21240What delays Valerian? 21240 What do they intend doing next, think you?"
21240What do you mean, Walt?
21240What do you say, boys?
21240What does that mean? 21240 What hev ye noticed?"
21240What is it, Hernandez?
21240What is it, Mr Hamersley?
21240What is it, Nat?
21240What is it, colonel?
21240What letter?
21240What mean you, senor?
21240What mean you, senor?
21240What news, Valerian?
21240What other object,_ amago mio_?
21240What river?
21240What sort of man is he?
21240What subject, Walt?
21240What words, Gil Uraga?
21240What''s best for us to do?
21240What''s kep him ahint, I wonder?
21240What''s this I hear,_ alferez_?
21240What''s your way, Cully?
21240What?
21240When do you propose starting?
21240Where am I to place the prisoners, colonel?
21240Where did you find it?
21240Where have you been all this while, my good man?
21240Where is Pedrillo?
21240Where, then, brother?
21240Where, then?
21240Where?
21240Where?
21240Who do you think they are?
21240Who do you think?
21240Who is Valerian?
21240Who''s to haul up?
21240Who, Colonel Miranda?
21240Who?
21240Who?
21240Who?
21240Whom may we expect? 21240 Why ca n''t you anyhow?
21240Why do you say so, doctor?
21240Why do you wish that?
21240Why not become her husband and let the brother live?
21240Why? 21240 Wo n''t our worthy friend Miranda be surprised when he sees us riding up to the door of his_ jacal_, with these fifty fellows behind us?
21240You have him at hand?
21240You intend sending them to some other?
21240You intend setting them free?
21240You intend taking them there dead, do you?
21240You mean only the men-- Don Valerian and the doctor?
21240You reached the Tenawa town?
21240You say so?
21240You see that scar on my cheek?
21240You think of leaving them by the way?
21240You think so? 21240 You think thar''s a chance for us to get out o''hyar?"
21240You will? 21240 You''ve stationed a look- out as I directed?"
21240_ Quien- viva_?
21240''Tain''t much kit?
21240''Twas he?"
21240A hand?"
21240A''n''t that what ye mean, Kurnel Meoranda?"
21240A_ Tejano_, was his reflection-- what should he know of the sword?
21240After all, how could he?
21240After all, is it only a vision of his brain, distempered by the long strain upon his intellect, and the agony he has been enduring?
21240After all, what harm in letting Miranda live?
21240After all, what will be his reward?
21240Air you all churged an''riddy?"
21240Am I myself, or somebody else?
21240An''no sign o''himself to be seen?
21240An''why shed thar be, supposin''we both gie our mutooal promises one to the tother?"
21240And is the noble Texan-- guide, ranger, and hunter-- thus sadly to succumb?
21240And now, what were they to do?
21240And the old doctor, Don Prospero?
21240And what have they been doing there?
21240And what is to be his reward?
21240Are you sure he will find his way back to this place?"
21240As a preliminary, may I ask if you are skilled in the use of the sword?"
21240Boys, do any o''ye recognise this hyar shootin''iron?"
21240But do n''t you think, Walt, you might learn what you want to know without any interpreter?
21240But do you think Miranda will make any resistance?"
21240But how do you counsel me to act?"
21240But no; why should he?
21240But the other; and she-- where, where?"
21240But then, where is the lava that should have been projected from it?
21240But what right, Colonel Miranda, have you to interfere?"
21240But what were all these dangers to that we were leaving behind?
21240But where is it?
21240But why do you ask these questions, Colonel Miranda?"
21240But why do you ask, Walt?"
21240But why do you talk of leaving this place?
21240But, as the guide had truly said what good could he do them by staying and getting killed?
21240By cards?
21240By dice?
21240By the bye, how much do you think the plunder ought to realise?"
21240By whom?"
21240By- the- way, where is the colonel now?"
21240Ca n''t ye guess what they''re at, Frank Hamersley?"
21240Can he have heard it?
21240Can he tell anything of what is intended with them?
21240Can the wounded man have crawled away?
21240Can you do that?"
21240Comanche?"
21240Come with me, caballero?
21240Coming up to her, he says,--"Senorita, your brother has told me you wish to speak with me?"
21240Could any other charm me?
21240Could they?
21240D''ye see the anymal he''s on?
21240D''ye see this gun?"
21240D''ye think ye kin hold out thet long by swallerin''a bit o''the buzzart?"
21240Dare they enter it?
21240Did Colonel Miranda''s sister regard it in that light?
21240Did he communicate it to the survivors?"
21240Did n''t I say that, Frank Hamersley?
21240Did n''t I tell ye so?"
21240Did n''t I tell you at the time he would move heaven and earth to have revenge on you-- on both of us?
21240Did n''t you observe nothin''queery?"
21240Did n''t you spy''mong the lot two or three that had ha''r on thar faces?"
21240Did they think of surrender?
21240Do n''t ye hear them palaverin?
21240Do n''t ye see our two horses are still safe?
21240Do n''t ye see that thar''s two bends in''em?"
21240Do n''t ye think the old doc ked do it?
21240Do n''t you obsarve them wroppin''somethin''round the heads o''the arrers-- looks like bits o''rags?
21240Do n''t you remember, Barbato, one of our horses gave out there, and was left?
21240Do you know, Frank, I''ve been hevin''a dream''bout them Injuns as attacked us?"
21240Do you see that little house, out yonder on the other side of the river?"
21240Do you suppose the troubles are over, and we can return safely?
21240Do you understand me?"
21240Drawing one of the chairs up to the side of the bed, the ex- Ranger sits down upon it, saying,--"Wal, Frank, ai n''t it wonderful?
21240El Norte?"
21240Else why brought together in such a strange place and by such a singular chain of circumstances?
21240FOES OR FRIENDS?
21240For what shed I shoot the harmless critter that''s been carryin''him?
21240Hamersley first breaks silence, asking the question,--"Did you get my letter?"
21240Has anything happened to him?"
21240Has he become so attached to the place as to intend prolonging his sojourn there?
21240Have you spoken to her upon the subject?"
21240He does not seek it, only turns to him who wears the spectacles, saying,--"Doctor, is he, indeed, dead?
21240He is not wounded?
21240He puts the interrogatory,--"How long are we to remain here?"
21240Here it is, and here we are; but where is he?
21240How came Colonel Miranda there, and why?
21240How could it be else?
21240How could it be otherwise?
21240How far is it to the point where the river runs below?"
21240How has it got into the hands of the Horned Lizard?
21240How is their trail to be taken up?
21240How is''t wi''ye?"
21240How was Horned Lizard to know himself-- that is, in time to have sent word to you?
21240How was it to be decided?
21240How were they to get out again?
21240I can get to Santa Fe by a month''s travel, I suppose?"
21240I see no cloud, unless you mean that spot on the horizon, scarce so large as the crown of my hat Is it that you mean?"
21240I thought your master had gone clear out of the country?"
21240If he refuse-- if both do so-- what then?
21240If he were to come back and find me gone--""What need that signify, caballero?
21240If it be thus what course are they to pursue?
21240If the latter, where is she, my poor sister, going to find the arm that could protect her?"
21240If you''re not going to try your prisoners by court- martial, in what way are your words to be made good?
21240In hers, how could it?
21240In rejoinder the adjutant asks,--"You are still resolved upon the death of the prisoners?"
21240Is he on return to the house, which they know is now untenanted, and, if so, with what intent?
21240Is he the owner of the voice heard in dialogue with Walt Wilder?
21240Is it a sonorous deception, caused by the sough of the cascade or reverberation from the rocks?
21240Is it all a dream?
21240Is it hunger?
21240Is it likely the fiend will be contented to take her brother back and trust to the decision of a legal tribunal, civil or military?
21240Is it possible that any of them can have got away?"
21240Is it thirst?
21240Is n''t it so?"
21240Is she safe?
21240Is the journey to end in their death?
21240Is''t a dream, or not?
21240Manuel should know something about their whereabouts?
21240May I ask, colonel, whom we may expect to come that way?
21240May he be the owner of all?
21240Maybe you''ve got him too?
21240My brother has not been sick?
21240Not pursuers, I take it?"
21240Now, Frank, what am I ter do?
21240Now,_ senor ayadante_, do you comprehend my scheme?"
21240Oh, senorita, is n''t he--""Is n''t he what?"
21240On the body of his comrade?
21240On what errand?"
21240On what have they been banqueting?
21240Or is it but the_ mirage_ of the desert, that has so oft already deceived him?
21240Or war it themselves, the cussed kannybals?
21240Or was the speech but an allusion, born from the still lingering distemper of his brain?
21240Pedrillo drowned?"
21240Perhaps I may now hear it?"
21240Perhaps one dearer?"
21240Poor Pedrillito-- what of him?
21240Resuming speech, he asks,--"How do you counsel?"
21240Ride out from the smoke- cloud, or remain under its favouring shelter?
21240Say, cap, what''s fetched ye out hyar?"
21240Shall I draw the trigger?"
21240Shall I usher him in?"
21240Shall we do it?"
21240Shoot or hang?"
21240So you think, Cully, you can take up the trail at night, supposing it to be a dark one?"
21240Soon there would be no smoke-- and then?
21240Still, what ked he do stayin''hyar by himself?"
21240Suppose we stay awhile and see?"
21240Suppose we try boys?"
21240Supposing they should see us, and retreat by the opening below?"
21240Surely it must be his party, spoken of in his letter?
21240Surely these men will not murder us on the way?"
21240Surely you can deal with him as you think proper-- a refugee, a rebel?"
21240Surely you do n''t intend to have them shot without form of trial?"
21240Surrender, and become the prisoner of Uraga?
21240The Ranger Captain, who presides, puts the interrogatory thus:"Well, boys, what are we to do with them?
21240The latter is Walt Wilder, but the former-- who is he?
21240The rebels have had it all their own way, and I am sorry to tell you that the colonel, your brother--""What of him?
21240The third pair that presents itself to be made man and wife-- who are they?
21240Under the circumstances, what is he to do?
21240Was it the pleasure of once more beholding what he lately thought he might never see again-- the light of day?
21240Was it this alone that was keeping him still and speechless?
21240Was there still a chance to escape in the opposite direction?
21240We can not help feeling regret for his fate; but, under the circumstances, what else could have been done?
21240We''re boun''to go under, if we don''t--""Do n''t what, Walt?"
21240Well, what of it?
21240Were the words she had so thoughtlessly spoken unfelt, and without any particular meaning?
21240Whar can the critter hev come from?
21240Whar did ye git the gun?"
21240Whar is he now?
21240Whar''s the bit o''blue sky we seed?
21240What am I to do?"
21240What are these captives, and who their captors?
21240What are we to do?"
21240What but this can it be?
21240What can be keeping him?"
21240What can it mean?
21240What chance for them to hold the hut against a force of fifty armed men-- soldiers-- for if the whole of the troop is returning there is this number?
21240What depth was it?
21240What do I ask?
21240What do ye think o''t?"
21240What do you mean, senorita?
21240What else can be there?
21240What else can the two men do?
21240What has he heard?
21240What horses can be there, save their own?
21240What is it,_ cabo_?"
21240What is life worth without her?
21240What is to be the import of his interview, unexpected, unsought, apparently commanded?
21240What ked we do wi''''em?
21240What keeps him behind, I wonder?"
21240What kin it mean?"
21240What leads ye to think so, Frank?"
21240What mattered it to him how the commandant employed his time, or where it was spent, so long as he got his_ sueldo_ and rations?
21240What security against breaking his word when we get to Albuquerque?"
21240What sees he before him?
21240What shed we do to him?"
21240What signifies all his success in villainy?
21240What sort of a scrape?
21240What then?
21240What think you of my charmer?"
21240What was he to do?
21240What was the nature of its contents?"
21240What was yours, Walt?"
21240What will the bad be?"
21240What''s the use o''my stannin''shilly- shally hyar?
21240When will that be?"
21240Where can Pedrillo be?
21240Where can they have gone to?
21240Where has she come from?
21240Where is he?
21240Where is she?
21240Where is the Mexican conducting them?
21240Where shall we string them up?"
21240Whither is she conducting him?
21240Whither?
21240Who can tell what may arise in the midst of that mysterious desert?
21240Who could not help loving him?"
21240Who is he?
21240Who is she?
21240Who knows, but that Uraga may yet discover our hiding- place?
21240Whose is it?"
21240Why ca n''t she an''me be tied thegither''ithout any sech senseless saramony?
21240Why do you wish me?"
21240Why have they attacked us, I wonder?"
21240Why should he die?"
21240Why should he?
21240Why should two lives be sacrificed for one?
21240Why went he?"
21240Why, what is it, Hernandez?
21240Why?"
21240Why?"
21240With such and many similar deeds since, is it likely he would look with any other than a lenient eye on the doings of Gil Urago, his imitator?
21240With whom can it be?
21240Wo n''t you, Lolita?
21240Ye elements, in whose ennobling stir I feel myself exalted, can ye not Accord me such a being?
21240Ye wo n''t, will ye?"
21240You all declare for hanging?"
21240You are Manuel-- mule driver for Don Valerian Miranda?"
21240You can save him?"
21240You do n''t s''pose I rushed into this hyar hole like a chased rabbit?
21240You have arranged with the Horned Lizard to make a counterfeit attack upon our camp-- to shoot down or spear our poor devils of soldiers, if need be?"
21240You have been lost upon the Llano Estacado?"
21240You have no companions to care for you?"
21240You know that, I suppose?"
21240You know what I tolt ye, Frank?"
21240You mean to marry her, I presume?"
21240You remember what size the boulder was?"
21240You speak of throwing dust in their eyes-- how, Walt?"
21240You will not stain your soul with murder?"
21240You will?"
21240You wo n''t mind that, my pet?
21240You would not have him drink out of the bottle?"
21240You would not have one leave a fellow creature to perish?"
21240You''ve asked the question,` Must he die?''
21240You''ve been there before?"
21240are those the two peaks you spoke of?"
21240asks Uraga, on coming forth from his tent,"is everything ready?"
21240but who''d iver think o''eatin''turkey buzzart?
21240d''ye think ye kin go a little furrer now?"
21240is that so?"
21240kin it be possyble they''ve been--?"
21240no cigarittos?
21240or has something arisen to make him discontented with the company he has been keeping, and so determined to get quit of it by hanging behind?
21240she cries out in the anguish of conviction,"can this be true?"
21240she goes on addressing the dogs;"do n''t you see the caballero is not an Indio?
21240she repeats in a compassionate tone,"you are suffering, sir?
21240some of our fellows from the cuartel?
21240the man Manuel?"
21240what does it signify?
21240what ked they a been doin''down thar?
21240what''s that?
21240what''s the use o''my threetenin''?"
21240you intend to become one of the prairie merchants, then?"
21240you see where you are going now?
21368A lesson in what?
21368A night attack, eh?
21368A vein, boy? 21368 Ah, Beaver,"said Bart, as the chief came out of the corral,"why is this?"
21368Ah, we''re going to have a new town, are we, master?
21368All of you?
21368All ready?
21368All, Joses?
21368And did the Indians make a fuss over him?
21368And did you overtake them?
21368And did you, Joses?
21368And feed cattle, eh?
21368And have I not?
21368And have these men ever fought with Indians?
21368And if the Doctor has got us together to take us right out there for the sake of his own ends?
21368And if they do?
21368And now what''s going to be done? 21368 And now, please sir, when may we start-- to- night?"
21368And ruining me at last, my lads? 21368 And so you think there is no silver here, sir?"
21368And tell me when I may be allowed to mine my silver in peace?
21368And then there was the awful flash and roar, Joses?
21368And this will all be labour in vain, Joses?
21368And we should be easily seen from a distance, I suppose?
21368And what about you, Joses?
21368And where is the silver canyon?
21368And why can you see it against the sky?
21368And why not, pray?
21368And will he take me there?
21368And you know Injuns''eyes and ears are sharper than ours?
21368And you want to go back?
21368And you will go back because it is dangerous?
21368And you will go back?
21368Any other orders?
21368Are the bulls very dangerous?
21368Are there so many as you say, Joses?
21368Are they mounted?
21368Are they still there?
21368Are those bison?
21368Are we going to leave them beautiful fish the Beaver and old Speechworks here have caught and cooked?
21368Are we likely to see Mr Grizzly as well?
21368Are you a doctor?
21368Are you hurt, Joses?
21368Are you hurt, Sam?
21368Are you only going to take fifty?
21368Are you sure?
21368Are you there, Beaver?
21368But am I to ride right up to the herd, Joses?
21368But are you not hurt at all?
21368But can you see immediate danger?
21368But do you think--"Do I think he has escaped, my lad?
21368But had we not better pull up, Joses?
21368But how are we to carry it away, sir?
21368But how could they tell that this was the entrance?
21368But how did you manage to escape?
21368But if I ca n''t get away, and they shoot at me?
21368But if they found it in the morning, Bart,she said,"what then?"
21368But is there silver there?
21368But it is Juan, is it not?
21368But not our sort of sheep?
21368But the bears are gone?
21368But they gave you another chance, Joses?
21368But what people would they be, sir? 21368 But where are the Apaches?"
21368But where are the other Indians?
21368But where? 21368 But who would have dug it?"
21368But why are you sure?
21368But why not?
21368But will he find our trail over such stony ground?
21368But wolves would n''t attack the great bison, would they?
21368But would you have me turn upon them and shoot them, Joses?
21368But you expect them to come, do n''t you?
21368But you object to going forward, my men?
21368But you will lose no time, sir?
21368But you will not let them go without me, sir?
21368By running into it at every turn, eh, my boy?
21368By the bears''claws?
21368Calf?
21368Can you see any sign of Joses, sir?
21368Can you see anything, Joses?
21368Catch up to''em? 21368 Catch''em, my boy?
21368Could n''t we contrive a gallery along the face of the mountain, right along above the ravine and the stables, sir?
21368Did I tell you right about''em before,said Joses,"or did I tell you wrong, my lad?"
21368Did n''t touch you, did they, Master Bart?
21368Did the Doctor order this?
21368Did the beasts claw you?
21368Did you get the letter?
21368Did-- did I slip from the rocks, or have I been asleep?
21368Do I think the Injuns will notice it, Master Bart? 21368 Do n''t talk foolery, Joses,"cried Bart, angrily,"Do you think I''m a child?"
21368Do n''t you wish we had a nice new loaf or two, Bart?
21368Do you mean that you will lend me the pony to go after my own?
21368Do you mean that, Joses?
21368Do you see this sabre?
21368Do you think he ever will hit upon a good mine of gold or silver, Joses?
21368Do you think it is necessary, Joses?
21368Do you think it was made by men, sir?
21368Do you think that if we frightened him, he would try to get back then?
21368Do you think the Apaches will come again to- night?
21368Do you think the Indians will notice the flag, Joses?
21368Do you think they mean to continue friendly?
21368Do you think they will molest us now?
21368Do you think they will strike our trail?
21368Do you think we shall meet with any, Joses?
21368Do you think we shall see any more of the Indians, Joses?
21368Do, my lad? 21368 Does the chief know of such a place?"
21368End of what?
21368Escaped me?
21368Faraway?
21368Feel faint, Bart?
21368Find it? 21368 Fine one, Joses?"
21368For gold and silver and that sort of thing, master?
21368Frighten him back?
21368Frightened?
21368Glad?
21368Going to cut it out, master?
21368Had n''t we better leave our rifles ashore there, under the trees?
21368Has anybody brought bad news?
21368Have you ever been up?
21368Have you heard of anything?
21368Have you seen anything, then?
21368Horrible indeed, Bart; but what should you think? 21368 How about going down into the canyon to spear salmon now?"
21368How are you, chief?
21368How can you tell that?
21368How could we take her into the wilds?
21368How did they know the cattle were there?
21368How do I know? 21368 How do we know that the Injuns wo n''t come to- night to look after the men they''ve lost?
21368How do you know, Joses?
21368How far do you think we are from the camp?
21368How far is it down to the plain?
21368How is it, Joses?
21368How was it?
21368I ca n''t see nothing-- can you?
21368I know that, my brave fellow; but if they were yours, would you let them go out to graze?
21368I mean may I ride pretty close up to one without getting gored?
21368I mean what am I to do if I am in close quarters, and feel that they will kill me?
21368I say are you glad, though?
21368I say, young one, are you asleep?
21368I suppose you would not care to go upon such a rough expedition as this, Bart?
21368I''ll do the best I can, Joses, you may be sure; but suppose I should come upon an Indian party-- what am I to do?
21368I''m ready, sir; when shall I go?
21368I''m to come too, ai n''t I?
21368Injun, my lad; do n''t you see''em? 21368 Instead of being close at home, eh, lad?
21368Is he mad?
21368Is it much farther, sir?
21368Is it not enough?
21368Is it, boy? 21368 Is it, sir?"
21368Is it? 21368 Is there any danger?"
21368Is there danger?
21368It is a long way, is it not?
21368It is delicious, Joses,said Bart;"but now had we not better go back?"
21368It was my fault; and the greasers ran away?
21368Look down there, Bart,said the Doctor, rather excitedly;"what do you make of it?"
21368Lovely? 21368 Mad?
21368May we ride up to them now?
21368Mean it, my lad? 21368 Mean?
21368Miles, Joses?
21368Must I fire_ at_ them then, Joses?
21368Must I?
21368Now, Beaver,cried Joses, finishing the re- loading of his piece,"what do you say to a bold rash forward-- right to the mouth of the chimney?"
21368Now, master?
21368P''r''aps we shall stay here a week then, master?
21368Poor, Joses?
21368Safe, Joses?
21368Safe? 21368 Safer?
21368Shall I creep out to him?
21368Shall I hold his arm?
21368Shall I wake up the Doctor?
21368Shall we catch up to them again, Joses?
21368Shall we turn back?
21368Surrender? 21368 Tell me what?"
21368That means scouting, does it not?
21368That woke him up, I suppose?
21368The young chief sees the Apache dogs?
21368Then we might find metals here, sir?
21368Then what is it?
21368Then why has n''t a good puff of wind blown them off and down into the plain?
21368Then you would not surrender?
21368They would n''t have escaped you like that, would they, Beaver?
21368They''re gone, then?
21368They''ve gone on jumping down like that right to the bottom, Master Bart, and--"Is that the flock?
21368They? 21368 Think so, Master Bart?"
21368This is silver, is it not?
21368Tired, Master Bart?
21368To ride on to Lerisco, sir?
21368Trusted? 21368 Try again, sir?"
21368Turn back? 21368 Very little, sir; but perhaps Joses was right: he said he thought there must be a fire out there to make it stand out so clearly, and--""Well?
21368Walk up to them?
21368We must have meat, must n''t we? 21368 Well, Bart, what is it?"
21368Well, Joses?
21368Well, how many bufflers did you shoot?
21368Well, it does sound too horrid; do n''t it, eh? 21368 Well, my boy,"he said,"is all right?"
21368Well, what did he prescribe?
21368Well, what do you mean?
21368Well, what do you say to taking our rifles and exploring?
21368Well, what''s the difference?
21368Well, what''s to hinder''em from coming close up? 21368 Well, yes, my lad, one would think so; but do n''t you see how it is?
21368Well,said the speaker, after a long pause,"you do not speak; I say, are you afraid?"
21368What about your companions, my lad?
21368What about, master?
21368What are these coming after us?
21368What are those?
21368What are we to do?
21368What are you going to do?
21368What did I tell you? 21368 What do I mean, my boy?
21368What do you mean?
21368What do you mean?
21368What do you say to that, Beaver?
21368What do you say?
21368What do you think?
21368What does all this mean, Joses?
21368What does he say?
21368What does that mean, think you?
21368What does the Beaver mean?
21368What for? 21368 What for?"
21368What is he doing?
21368What is it, my lad?
21368What is it, sir?
21368What is it?
21368What is it?
21368What is to be done then?
21368What luck?
21368What of her?
21368What shall you do to them, Joses?
21368What should you think this place must have been?
21368What then?
21368What''s come of all them chaps, Master Bart?
21368What''s that, sir; the distance?
21368What''s the danger?
21368What''s the matter, Sam; why do n''t you come back?
21368What''s to be done, then?
21368What''s wrong?
21368What''s wrong?
21368What, buffler, my lad? 21368 What, like the place where the mountain sheep went down?"
21368What, them?
21368What, whack''em with their tails? 21368 What, you?
21368What-- what has happened?
21368Whatever shall I do?
21368When?
21368Where are we going?
21368Where are we now? 21368 Where is Joses?
21368Where''s Joses?
21368Where, Beaver?
21368Where?
21368Which way are they going?
21368Which way do you think the Indians were going, Joses?
21368Why ca n''t they keep still?
21368Why do n''t the Beaver come back, Joses?
21368Why do n''t they rush off, Joses?
21368Why do n''t you speak?
21368Why do they do that, Joses?
21368Why have n''t they been blown off-- why have n''t they been blown off, Master Bart? 21368 Why have you left your post?"
21368Why not wait till night and steal off?
21368Why not, Master Bart? 21368 Why not, my lad?
21368Why not, my lad?
21368Why not, sir? 21368 Why not?
21368Why should the sheep send them away?
21368Why, Joses,panted Bart,"I thought--""As I was killed?
21368Why, Joses?
21368Why, how did you know?
21368Why, those are wild grapes too, are they not?
21368Why, what for-- to get water?
21368Why, you do n''t think that physic would do our eyes any good, do you, Joses?
21368Why, you thought the Injun had got me, did you, Master Bart? 21368 Why?"
21368Worked? 21368 Would it be safe to allow Bart here to go with you after the bison?"
21368Would they, Beaver?
21368Would you be afraid to follow him, my boy?
21368Yes, Master Bart, and was n''t it enough? 21368 Yes, but why do it look quaint and strange?"
21368Yes?
21368You are, my lad?
21368You do n''t mean to say you ran him down, lad, and shot him, do you?
21368You know I would n''t send you into danger, do n''t you?
21368You know the way from here down into the plain?
21368You mean buffler, do n''t you?
21368You think he is to be trusted, do n''t you, Joses?
21368You think there are mineral riches up in the mountains then?
21368You trust me then to do my best for you?
21368You were?
21368You wo n''t go if the weather''s bad, I s''pose, my lad?
21368You wo n''t go? 21368 You, sir?"
21368You?
21368Young chief Bart, see?
21368` Did he bite you?'' 21368 ` What''s matter, mate?''
21368` What''s the matter with you?'' 21368 Ah, would you?
21368Any alarm?"
21368Are we to carry the mountain back to the old ranche?"
21368Are you afraid?"
21368Bart obeyed mechanically as Joses shouted:"Now then, how long are you going to sit there?"
21368But I say, Master Bart, hear that?"
21368But Joses?
21368But how about the grizzly?"
21368But look here-- you can see the Injuns out there, ca n''t you?"
21368But when shall I go?"
21368But where is it to be found?
21368But which way?
21368But why do you want to move the camp?"
21368But why should n''t I get another?"
21368But you''ve killed the bear among you?"
21368Can you climb it?"
21368Can you make room for me?"
21368Can you?"
21368Come now, my excitable young friend, you think I have been rather quiet and tame with these wretches, do n''t you?"
21368Did n''t the Beaver say that the master''s glass was all good medicine?
21368Did you hear anything?"
21368Do you know why?"
21368Do you see?"
21368Do you suppose I want to be trampled down and tossed?"
21368Do you think the enemy will come back?"
21368Do you want to begin the fight?"
21368Fire my rifle-- make a fire-- ride off to try and find them?"
21368For now came the question-- would the firing of their friends check the Apaches, or would they press on in deadly strife to the bitter end?
21368Got him again?"
21368Had n''t we better stop and drive them back, Beaver, and let the greasers carry away the fish?"
21368Have we not silver enough to buy all the cattle in the province?"
21368He shuddered, and struggled into a sitting position, then thoroughly comprehending after a few minutes what had passed:"Who saved me?"
21368Here I pause for a few moments as I say-- Shall I describe what the Doctor did to save the Indian''s life, or shall I hold my hand?
21368His heart?"
21368How could the mining adventure be carried on without?"
21368How''s that?"
21368Hurt me?
21368I only say you can see them, ca n''t you?"
21368I say, do you think it safe for him to go with you?"
21368I say, have you fired yet?"
21368I say, how could you tell in the dark that it was the Beaver?"
21368I think he may get up, Doctor, eh?"
21368Is it a vein?"
21368Is it a waggon- train?
21368Is it ridiculous to suppose such a thing?
21368Is this place natural or dug out?"
21368Is your rifle all right?"
21368Joses, can you be a true prophet?"
21368Just then there was a soft tapping at the door, and a voice said--"Are you ready to come, Bart?
21368May I begin to shoot?"
21368Now then, am I to try and cure it?
21368Now then, have you made up your minds?
21368Now what''s to be done?"
21368Now, Beaver, what do you say?"
21368Now, then, will you get down and walk up to''em, or must I?"
21368Now, then, will you go?"
21368Of course: why not?
21368Our men?"
21368Sam and Juan?
21368Same time, how do we know they will?
21368Sha n''t I?"
21368Shall I?
21368Shall we come in the morning and examine this place, sir?"
21368So soon?"
21368The Spaniards?"
21368Then in a low voice,"Suppose it should not prove to be silver after all?"
21368There was a rich silver mine out in the plains?
21368They lit the fire on purpose to warm themselves; and where do you think they lit it?"
21368They''ll crawl through the grass, and from stone to stone in the dark there, and who''s to see''em?
21368Was it an enemy?"
21368Well, come along; we are wasting time, but do you think rattlesnakes are as dangerous as people say?"
21368Well, my young Indian runner,"said the governor, laughing,"are you ready for another skirmish?"
21368Well, now then,"he added, as Bart, recovered himself after an ineffectual thrust,"what ought that young man to have done, Master Bart?"
21368What does it matter about your clothes?"
21368What good would it do him to bring down one or even a dozen among the hundreds coming on, all thirsting for their blood?
21368What shall I do?
21368What was that?"
21368What would the Doctor, who had given him so many lessons on presence of mind, coolness in danger, and the like?
21368What would you like me to do?"
21368What''s he bounding ashore for like that?"
21368What''s that?"
21368What''s the good of a view that goes so far you ca n''t see it?
21368What, dug out?"
21368Where could they get the stuff?"
21368Where is Joses?"
21368Where shall I aim at?
21368Where was Joses?
21368Where were the Indians?
21368Where were the hundreds of buffalo that had been thundering over the plain?
21368Where''s the harm?
21368Which way am I to look?"
21368Who can tell when the Apache will come and strike?
21368Who fired the shot as finished her?
21368Who''s to take care of the camp if you go away?"
21368Who?
21368Why are you here?"
21368Why did he not go and see?"
21368Why does not Joses leave them?
21368Why have you come-- to give us warning?"
21368Why should not he do something of the kind?
21368Why, do you not understand that this mine will want working, and that we must have a large number of men here?
21368Will the young chief Bart go?"
21368Would Joses be ready?
21368Would n''t they be just as well without?"
21368Would the Doctor give their enemies a salutation?
21368Would the others stop and defend him, or would they gallop away to save their own lives?
21368Would they hear them on the rocks?
21368Would they never reach the gateway?
21368You do n''t think you could carry him back like a baby?"
21368You wo n''t send out no more?"
21368You''ll trust me, wo n''t you?"
21368are you tired, my lad?"
21368been in after the fish?"
21368cried the Doctor;"but how could he tell?"
21368ejaculated the Doctor;"what''s that?"
21368he cried;"what is wrong?"
21368my young friend,"exclaimed the governor,"how are you now?"
21368nasty?
21368said Bart,"panthers?"
21368said Joses gruffly, for he had volunteered no information,"see anything?"
21368said the Doctor, in a quick low decisive tone;"is it darker now?"
21368that piping noise?"
21368to an Indian?
21368what good would it do?
21368what news?"
21368what would Maude think of him for being such a coward?
21368what''s that mean?"
21368what, do you want to have the Injuns back on us?"
21368where?"
21368who was it?
12335Across the desert? 12335 An who''s goin''to back it over the portages?"
12335An''could ye do it?
12335An''what kind av a trough is that?
12335An''what("fwat"he pronounced it)"the divil have ye been up to?"
12335An''what''ll I do whirl I get down there?
12335An''where will we come out, Liftinant? 12335 And divorces?"
12335And how are the ladies?
12335And how do you go, Lieutenant?
12335And if we do n''t overtake them, will they join us at the Moqui pueblos?
12335And my little cousin is of your opinion, I trust?
12335And so this is Santa Fé?
12335And then he will march back here?
12335And what if I do sign them alone? 12335 And what of the overland route?"
12335And who, in case of a divorce, cares for the children?
12335And you feel perfectly able to take care of yourselves here?
12335And you wo n''t let them send you to San Diego?
12335And you?
12335And_ she_ knows it?
12335Are you a pig, an ass, a fool? 12335 Are you afraid anybody will hit you?"
12335Are you glad?
12335Are you going?
12335Are you not going to launch the boats?
12335Because he is a man? 12335 But after your attempt at the hacienda?"
12335But water?
12335But what does he say of the San Juan route?
12335But what if he refuses?
12335But you would rather stay alone?
12335Ca n''t I send him a dish from our table?
12335Ca n''t ye talk without takin''out yer paddle?
12335Ca n''t you answer me?
12335Ca n''t you hit some of them?
12335Ca n''t you say yes?
12335Ca n''t you?
12335Can I do anything?
12335Can I do anything?
12335Can I take me gun, Liftinant?
12335Can we make the jump at the other end?
12335Can you guess why I do it? 12335 Can you paddle your boat against the current?"
12335Can you row, Sweeny?
12335Capm, where d''ye think we''re bound?
12335Captain Glover, what do you mean?
12335Captain Glover, what''s the matter with your nose?
12335Child, what are you jabbering about?
12335Coronado, where is your hunter?
12335Did it break, or was it cut?
12335Did nothing happen during your guard?
12335Did they hit you?
12335Did you give her this?
12335Did you hear him?
12335Did you hear them say whose train this was?
12335Did you run all the way from Down East?
12335Did you?
12335Do n''t forgit a feller, do ye, Sergeant? 12335 Do ye think Godamighty made thim paple?"
12335Do you believe all Coronado tells you?
12335Do you call this a counthry?
12335Do you mean to say that you never can--?
12335Do you think they knew?
12335Do you think you can guess how it was pusted?
12335Do you want me both to devise and execute, while you take the purses? 12335 Do you want to drive me to the devil?
12335Does Shubert''s leg need attention?
12335Does it feel any better?
12335Five hundred?
12335Go back where? 12335 Has he found out that she is living?"
12335Has the news got here? 12335 Have they?"
12335Have you been seen?
12335Heads or tails?
12335How came Lieutenant Thurstane to go down the river?
12335How can I ever repay you both? 12335 How can we help you?"
12335How can you be so strong?
12335How dared you come up here?
12335How did it feel when it went through?
12335How far off are they?
12335How is that, Sweeny?
12335How is that?
12335How is the lady passenger?
12335How is this, my uncle?
12335How long will the grass in the enclosure last them?
12335How many did we save?
12335How many old men were watching it?
12335How many were there, do you think?
12335How much did you pay him? 12335 How much?"
12335How now about your safe road through the southern counties?
12335How old was this letter?
12335How soon must you go? 12335 How soon will you have a train ready?"
12335How the dickens''d you git down again?
12335How the h-- l kin I do it?
12335How will this accursed job end? 12335 How wronged?"
12335How?
12335If we go back to- morrow,she began again,"do you think we shall overtake them?"
12335If you hear anything more, will you please let me know? 12335 Into which wagon?"
12335Is he gone?
12335Is it Manga Colorada?
12335Is it because we abandoned you?
12335Is it possible?
12335Is it the kindest that you can give me? 12335 Is it?"
12335Is it?
12335Is that you, my little cousin? 12335 Is the overland route more dangerous?"
12335Is there anything you dislike in me? 12335 Is there no water in the flasks?"
12335Is there_ no_ chance?
12335Is this to wipe our hands on?
12335It ca n''t be that--?
12335Kelly, what do you think of the beasts?
12335Know what?
12335Ladies, can you keep house?
12335Lieutenant Thurstane, ca n''t you overtake us?
12335Lieutenant Thurstane, what do you say?
12335Liftinant, is this soldierin''?
12335Make those poor fellows carry those monstrous packs? 12335 Man acquire woman''s worth?
12335May I ask what your name is?
12335Miss Van Diemen,was his next remark,"do you know what you are to do, if we are attacked?"
12335Moreover,continued the Mexican,"overland route?
12335Mr. Coronado, where do you propose to take us when we reach land?
12335Mr. Glover, can nothing be done with the boat?
12335My dear child, what do you mean?
12335My dear uncle, why did n''t you hire the devil?
12335No gate? 12335 Not a shine of a lookout for gittin''back to the Casa?"
12335Now, then, do you want to fight a duel?
12335Oh, what can it mean?
12335One eye?
12335Really glad to find me poor?
12335Shall I confess to you,he continued,"that I suspect him of having weakened that towline so as to send our friend down the San Juan?"
12335Shall we go to see the dance?
12335Shall we go to see?
12335Shall we make a sally to save him?
12335Shall we take a gallop?
12335Short, stout, dark old gentleman? 12335 So we shall find Delgadito in the Moqui valley?"
12335So you are hurt?
12335So you have sent him away? 12335 So you take the northern trail?"
12335So you think we''ll have a tough job of it?
12335So you were not hurt?
12335Suppose I should marry her?
12335Suppose she should make a will in your favor?
12335That feller? 12335 The rain, is it?
12335Then I do n''t look very well indoors?
12335Then what?
12335Then who did saw it?
12335Then why refuse me? 12335 Then you are not heir to your grandfather''s fortune?
12335Then-- why?
12335Think ye know yer way, Capm?
12335To protect me?
12335Was it an arrow?
12335Was it that man-- that hunter-- Smith?
12335Well, Schmidt?
12335Well, Sweeny, anything stirring?
12335Well, my little princess, where shall we go?
12335Well, then, will you stop hunting me?
12335Well, what d''ye say y''could paddle for, when y''could n''t?
12335Well, what do these old men do?
12335Well, who the devil are you?
12335Were there a hundred?
12335What a brave, noble, intelligent man?
12335What are the chances?
12335What are you about?
12335What band?
12335What did they leave that fellow for?
12335What do you mean, Coronado?
12335What do you think of this?
12335What does this mean?
12335What does this mean?
12335What does this mean?
12335What have you given her?
12335What if I should order ye to the masthead?
12335What if it should go out? 12335 What is a pig ding?"
12335What is it?
12335What is she taking?
12335What is the cause of this?
12335What is the matter?
12335What is the matter?
12335What next?
12335What route do you take from here?
12335What the devil did you stop to reload for?
12335What the devil is he here for?
12335What?
12335When do you think we ought to start?
12335When will my sex get over the weakness? 12335 When would you like?"
12335When you have got into the wagon, what next?
12335Where are Meyer and Kelly?
12335Where are the Indians?
12335Where are the others?
12335Where are you?
12335Where can the master and mistress be?
12335Where did you come from? 12335 Where is Delgadito?"
12335Where is Texas Smith?
12335Where is she going?
12335Where shall we strike?
12335Whereabouts doos this river come out?
12335Who else can find them?
12335Who else would follow us?
12335Who has been assassinating?
12335Who is it?
12335Who is your hunter?
12335Who said I was n''t? 12335 Who sawed it?"
12335Who would have expected such generalship in you? 12335 Who?"
12335Whose band was this?
12335Why could n''t they have had them ready? 12335 Why did he do it?
12335Why do n''t we catch some o''thim flyin''crachurs?
12335Why do n''t you find a chance at that fellow?
12335Why do n''t you shoot the devils?
12335Why have n''t you fired when you were ordered?
12335Why have n''t you fired?
12335Why into that one?
12335Why not hire him to guarantee our safety? 12335 Why so?"
12335Why, what has he got to do with us?
12335Will I go up afther it?
12335Will a thousand dollars support you here?
12335Will it never break?
12335Will our horses last?
12335Will that do?
12335Will you dismount? 12335 Will you forgive me?"
12335Will you pledge yourself not to harm any one in this party, man or woman?
12335Will you pledge yourself to keep dark about this talk that we''ve had?
12335Wo n''t that be too early?
12335Wo n''t that be too late?
12335Would you have us all die?
12335You are sure about the will?
12335You are sure?
12335You cursed poltroon, why did n''t you give the alarm? 12335 You do n''t mean--?"
12335You dum paddywhack,he presently reopened,"what d''ye break yer paddle for?"
12335You know what money is?
12335You wo n''t fight?
12335You_ will_ be careful of yourself?
12335Your grandfather? 12335 _ Must_ you?"
12335''Sposin''I set you barkin''up the wrong tree; what good''s that gwine to do?"
12335After a minute of anxious thought, he asked,"How much do you think she will give me?"
12335After a time she started up with the thought,"Where is Texas Smith?"
12335After testing every inch and every knot, he said:"Who starts first?"
12335And she?
12335And where are your two Sancho Panzas?"
12335And why not Thurstane?
12335And, supposing it to be murder, could it be charged in any way upon Smith?
12335Any chance''f its bein''smooth clear through?"
12335Any more''n the clothes ye''re got to yer back?"
12335Anythin''I can do for ye, old messmate?
12335Anythin''agin ye?
12335Are you angry with me?
12335Are you ready?
12335As for Clara?
12335As he walked about with the girl he thought over and over, Will it kill her?
12335As soon as he could speak so as to be understood, he asked, first in English and then in Spanish,"How is the lady?"
12335At last came the question, When?
12335At the first halt Sergeant Weber approached Thurstane with a timorous air, saluted, and asked,"Leftenant, can we leafe our knabsacks in the vagons?
12335At this instant Clara uttered a cry of anxiety,"Where is Pepita?"
12335But Coronado had replied:"Nobody sends a train of two wagons; do you want to rouse suspicion?"
12335But Coronado?
12335But Garcia might retort,"And you?"
12335But after a few hours at sea, he had recovered his wits and his courage, and asked himself, why should he fly?
12335But do you know who did saw it?"
12335But how d''ye s''pose this town was built?
12335But how do you go?"
12335But how many perish on the way?
12335But what did ye get for yer blowin''?
12335But what is the last news about it?
12335But would she let him do it?
12335But would the wagons, the animals, and the human members of the party below be safe during the night?
12335But, my little girl, how could I help being deceived?
12335But, once more, what should he do?
12335Ca n''t you shute it away, clost by th''edge?"
12335Ca n''t you speak for yourself on a matter which concerns you and me alone?"
12335Can you do it?"
12335Can you ever bring yourself to be my wife?"
12335Can you raise your eend?
12335Can you start in an hour for the camp of Manga Colorada?
12335Can your heart ever respond to mine?
12335Coronado rode up to the pair and asked,"Is that boy alive yet?"
12335Coronado smiled, tossed him a little bow, and murmured in the most cordial, genial way,"And the rest?"
12335Could he peep out of the doorway without getting an arrow through the head?
12335Could n''t I teach Spanish?"
12335Could they get down it so as to regain the stream and resume their navigation?
12335D''ye iver see the loikes o''that, now?
12335Did the savage know anything about Coronado?
12335Did they want to extort more money, or were they ignorant that this was his train?
12335Did you ever hear of Coronado, the conqueror of New Mexico, the stormer of the seven cities of Cibola?
12335Did you not get my letters?"
12335Did you pay him?"
12335Did you put the fire out?"
12335Do n''t it look like the bottomless pit blowed up''n''gone to smash?
12335Do n''t you know that I am true to you?
12335Do n''t you see that it tortures me to refuse you?"
12335Do you know what Muñoz has done?
12335Do you know?
12335Do you see him?"
12335Do you see that it has no verdure?
12335Do you think we can crawl through?"
12335Do you want to pass_ her_ room?
12335Do you want to see your work?
12335Do, hey?
12335Does any one marvel that Clara did not go directly to the military authorities in the city?
12335Does anybody in our party speak Welsh?
12335Does anybody know whether they have any?"
12335Ever been in Broek?
12335Ever walk in yer sleep, Sweeny?
12335Garcia had thought that two would suffice; six wagons, with their mules, etc., were a small fortune: what if the Apaches should take them?
12335Great things were evidently at hand; some spectacle was on the point of presentation; what was it?
12335Guessing from the shyness of the demand for entrance that it came from a servant, he called pettishly,"What do you want?
12335Had he attacked his wagons without being aware that they belonged to the man who had paid him five hundred dollars and sent him to harry Bernalillo?
12335Had he learned, either from Apaches or Navajos, whose hand it was that slew his boy?
12335Had his rancheros suspected it?
12335Has he gone mad?"
12335Have a sup now, sah?
12335Have ye been foolin''paple wid makin''''em think ye''re a Protestant praste?"
12335Have you ever watched two specks floating in a vessel of water?
12335Have you seen anything of the girl Pepita?"
12335He looked at Coronado inquiringly, as if to say, What do you propose?
12335He set off at once in pursuit, asking himself with an anxiety which almost made him faint,"Are they to be married?"
12335He thought of Clara; was it Clara?
12335He thought of adding,"Why not marry her yourself, my dear uncle?"
12335He was roused from his dreams by the quick, dry, grasshopper- like voice of Phineas Glover, asking,"What''s that?"
12335Her only complaints were a patient"Is n''t it hard?"
12335How about fishing?"
12335How came it that she knew nothing of the escape?
12335How do you know they are Apaches?"
12335How else could he decide what to do with her and with_ him_?
12335How high would it be?
12335How in God''s name could you find your way up this fearful cañon?"
12335How is Clara?"
12335How is Garcia?"
12335How is it possible, she often thought, that such a brief sweep of water should carry him so utterly away?
12335How is it possible?
12335How is my cousin?"
12335How long will it take me to go there?
12335How many are there?"
12335How many people shall I take?"
12335How much?
12335How shall I ever pay you?"
12335How shall I go?"
12335How should he endure it?
12335How should he rid himself of this rival, this obstacle in the way of his well- laid plans, this interloper into his caravan?
12335How''bout reachin''the trail to the Moqui country?"
12335How''n the world do ye keep the''count so straight?
12335If she gives you half of this estate--?"
12335If they should catch her there, in the presence of their deity, would they consider it a leading of Providence?
12335In fact, he had been quite willing to favor the soldiers; why not, so long as he could not get rid of them?
12335Is it in Ameriky?
12335Is it my fault that I care for you?
12335Is it this American?
12335Is n''t there a window somewhere that I could crawl through?
12335Is there no way of getting it?"
12335Is there-- can there ever be-- any hope for me?"
12335Is there--?"
12335It was one of_ his_ lies?
12335Jist by the corner here?"
12335Leave Clara on the plains, to be butchered by Indians, or to die of starvation?
12335Liftinant, what sort o''paple lives up atop of us, annyway?"
12335Liftinint, why do n''t they put the britch to the other end av the gun?
12335Little brof?"
12335Little gruel?
12335Make a will?
12335Miss Van Diemen, may I help you back through the gully?"
12335Mrs. Stanley, did you ever hear of the Casas Grandes, the Casas de Montezuma, the ruined cities of New Mexico?
12335Must he call upon Texas Smith to assassinate the fellow?
12335My darling, how could you?"
12335My dear cousin, what do you want?"
12335My love, is it not best?"
12335Not that she doubted Meyer; on the contrary, she had a perfect confidence in him; how could she fail to trust one who had been trusted by Thurstane?
12335Oh, how could you believe it of me?
12335Oh, my friend, how will you be safe?"
12335Or should he attempt to descend a river even more terrible to navigate than the San Juan?
12335Presently she asked, in full faith that she was approaching a metropolis,"What is the name of the city?"
12335Running to the edge of the roof, Clara saw a Mexican cattle- driver standing on the wall of the enclosure, and called to him,"What is the matter?"
12335Say, are you angry?
12335She had not meant all this; but how could she undeceive him?
12335She now thought to herself, If he cares for me, how can he keep away from me when he sees Coronado making eyes at me?
12335She stopped, hesitated a moment, looked at him anxiously, and then added,"Have you seen Pepita?"
12335Should he kill him?
12335Should he strike southward by land for the Bernalillo trail, risking a march through a wide, rocky, lifeless, and perhaps waterless wilderness?
12335Should he trust this beast of a Texan to guard him against those other beasts, the Apaches?
12335Should he try to deliver those enemies from death?
12335Suppose that Thurstane had taken a fancy to swap him for that girl Pepita?
12335Sweeny looked at the precipice, skipped about the shelf uneasily, made a struggle with his fears, and asked,"Will ye let me down aisy?"
12335Sweeny, would n''t you like to kill suthin?"
12335Texas Smith gave him a glance of inquiry which said,"Shall we go ahead-- or fire?"
12335The attempt might excite suspicion; the major might say,"How is this your business?"
12335The boat began to fly down the current; then the two oarsmen fell to paddling violently; what did it mean?
12335The cloud can go anywhere; but what if ye should slump through?"
12335The girl ate heartily, inquired about the storm, and asked,"When shall we get there?"
12335The girl was gone; a hasty looking about showed that; but whither?
12335The girl, who wanted to hear about Thurstane all the time, and expected to hear about him, asked eagerly,"What is it?"
12335The idea of pushing the old man overboard was inadmissible; but could he not scare him ashore at the next port by stories of a leak?
12335The next question was, who could handle a boat?
12335The venomous old toad made a supreme effort and whispered,"Suppose she should die?"
12335The words which he had in his heart were, What are you here for, you scoundrelly old marplot?
12335Then he called, in his usual quick, sharp, chattering way,"Liftinant, is this soldierin''?"
12335Then, after eyeing her gravely for a moment, he asked,"I may be always sure of you?
12335Then, catching sight of the galloping Garcia,"But what does that mean?
12335Then, plucking up a little spirit, he turned his one eye for a moment on his nephew''s face, and added,"Why should I go to Santa Fé?
12335There was a muttering inside, a shuffling as of some one getting out of a berth, and then a low inquiry in Spanish,"Who is there?"
12335There was not the slightest tremor in the hoarse, low croak with which he asked,"What''s the game, sergeant?"
12335They are natural; they belong to the scene; what else should he see?
12335They had unquestionably seen or heard their pursuers; but how had they got into the bowels of the earth to escape them?
12335Think Mr. Coronado''s all right in his top hamper, Capm?
12335This boy of a lieutenant?"
12335This, drifting of a boat down a strange river, was it murder in the sense intended by Thurstane?
12335Thurstane cantered around to the front of the wagon which contained the two women, and called,"How are you?"
12335Thurstane had recognized her by the light of the binnacle, and once more he thought, as weakly as a scared child,"What shall I do?"
12335To the desert and turn hermit?"
12335To which among all these unknown ones should she address herself?
12335Trotting up with a smile to Mrs. Stanley and Clara, he asked,"How do you bear it?"
12335Unroll the boat, Capm?
12335Wal, smooth water all the way?"
12335Wal, what d''ye guess about the water?
12335Warmly shaking the puffy hand of the old toad, and doing her very best to smile upon him, she said,"How do you do, Mr. Garcia?
12335Was murder of any kind worth while?
12335Was the desert inhabited, and by disembodied demons?
12335Was the roof of the Casa safe from escalade?
12335Well, he would n''t miss; what should he miss for?
12335Well, of course she would share in his gayeties; was not that enough for any reasonable woman?
12335Well, what should be done?
12335Were any of his people wounded?
12335Were these Moquis still in the habit of offering human sacrifices?
12335What can I do?
12335What could they say for themselves, or what can another say for them?
12335What course should be taken?
12335What d''ye say to this spot for campin''?
12335What does it mean?
12335What for?"
12335What had he thought of her conduct?
12335What if I am suspected and denounced and hung?
12335What is it?
12335What is the use of all_ that_?"
12335What is to be done?"
12335What more can I do?"
12335What now should be done?
12335What should he do?
12335What should it be?
12335What was there in his nature, or what had there been in his selfish and lazy life, that was akin to such fine frenzies?
12335What will you do to me?"
12335What will you do?"
12335What would happen?"
12335What would people say?
12335What''ll ye take for yer chances?
12335What''s the distance to Californy?"
12335When Clara should learn that she was a millionaire, what would she do?
12335When Thurstane heard, or rather guessed from the captain''s gestures, that the boats were stove, he called,"Are we to do nothing?"
12335When does my watch begin?"
12335Where is she?"
12335Where shall we slape?
12335Where should the letter be addressed?
12335Where?"
12335Which of those ranges was the Cerbat, which the Aztec, and which the Pinaleva?
12335Who could always take the right step amid such trials?
12335Who is it?"
12335Who is the other passenger?"
12335Who knows but that such might have been the germinal idea of their constructions?
12335Who next?"
12335Why can you not wait until we are with Muñoz?"
12335Why did n''t ye shlape all ye wanted to whin yees was in the boat?"
12335Why did n''t you fight?"
12335Why do you turn away from me?
12335Why does not your Government do that sort of thing?
12335Why had she not guessed that he was sick there, and flown to nurse him to health?
12335Why have you come?
12335Why not poison the girl at once, and save all this money?
12335Why not take him with you to- day?"
12335Why should n''t the women and the wounded sleep in the city?"
12335Why should she let riches turn her head when she found that they could not lighten her heart?
12335Why should they follow us_ here_?"
12335Why torture us both?"
12335Why will you?"
12335Will you haf a jew of topacco?"
12335Will you please come and see me?"
12335Will you take it?"
12335Wiping the sweat of labor and anxiety from their brows, they looked about them, at first in silence, querying what next?
12335With such a horrible drumming in his ears how could he think clearly and decide wisely?
12335Would Manga Colorada fulfil his contract and cast a shadow of peril over the Bernalillo route?
12335Would Texas Smith seize this chance to send a bullet through Thurstane''s head from behind?
12335Would a woman answer their purpose, and particularly a white woman?
12335Would all his plots, his labors, his perils, and his love prove in one moment to have been in vain?
12335Would he encounter the rare chance of traders or emigrants?
12335Would he find the trail?
12335Would he meet Clara?
12335Would it come?
12335Would letters or messengers arrive from California, informing Clara of the death and will of Muñoz?
12335Would she throw off the air of friendliness which she had lately worn, and scout him as one whom she had long known as a scoundrel?
12335Would the hawser reach across this flux and reflux of death?
12335Would the mast hold against the grounding shock?
12335Would the sling work?
12335Would there be food and rest for him and rescue for his comrades?
12335Would there be safety where they were, just at the base of the noble slope?
12335Would they murder him for the money?
12335You, a gentleman and an officer-- what else would you have advised?"
12335_ will_ you?"
12335after I had made a treaty with them?"
12335ca n''t you speak out?"
12335can they be Romans?"
12335did he?"
12335do n''t you guess it?"
12335do n''t you know me better?
12335from another vessel?"
12335how could you think that I would write such a letter?
12335how did he do it?"
12335is n''t it true?"
12335remonstrated Smith,"ai n''t you pannin''me out a leetle too fine?
12335she exclaimed;"what do you mean?"
12335what is that?"
12335what is the matter with your arm, Lieutenant?"
12335why did we come here?"
12335why will you force me to say hard things?
12335you do n''t know, then?"
15542A sort of an impersonal personal interest?
15542A tin box? 15542 Ai n''t it jest a leetle mite-- well, like she was writing with a poker down her back?"
15542Ai n''t she wearing another man''s ring?
15542Ai n''t that too bad?
15542Ai n''t you going to let her invite get cold before you butt in?
15542Am I the only one that gave a wrong name?
15542Am I to hear the good news?
15542Am I to read this here_ billy doo_?
15542Am I? 15542 And Juanita?"
15542And he would n''t agree not to prosecute?
15542And now I really think you''ve been impudent enough, do n''t you?
15542And so you think it never can?
15542And that is all?
15542And this was after Pedro had been thrown?
15542And what shall I do with the letter?
15542And will you let me know, quietly, without telling them?
15542And with the Moreño grant, made by Governor Armijo?
15542And you did nothing?
15542And you were watching me all the time?
15542And_ Señorita_ Valdés?
15542And_ my_ business on earth is to fight you, is it not? 15542 Anyhow, what''s he want to fight about?
15542Are n''t you Juanita?
15542Are there others beside you that believe this nonsense about the American being in league with evil?
15542Are you as anxious I should make up my quarrel with you as the ones with your friends?
15542Are you asking me to sell my title or give it?
15542Are you going to scold me? 15542 Are you telling me that----?
15542At home?
15542At the Valdés house? 15542 Because I ai n''t bluffed out by a kid that needs a horse- whip laid on good and hard?
15542Because of... the estate?
15542Been writing about me, has he?
15542But after he did?
15542But ai n''t I your enemy, my little good Samaritan? 15542 But how do you know,_ Doña_?"
15542But it pains?
15542But the feed-- the winter feed,_ Señorita_?
15542But what''s the hitch about the Valdés grant? 15542 But when you say children-- well, do n''t you think wolves is a more accurate term for them?"
15542But why? 15542 But why?"
15542But you are acting under her orders?
15542But you make no move to arrest me?
15542But, good Lord, why for did you make such a play? 15542 But, if I should shoot again?"
15542But, why? 15542 But,_ Doña_, are you sure?
15542But-- do you mean that Pablo and Sebastian took him there?
15542But-- this_ Señor_ Gordon?
15542But-- why for, boy?
15542By whom?
15542Ca n''t be called very affectionate, can it?
15542Ca n''t you see, you old moss- back? 15542 Ca n''t you understand that this is no time for flippancy?
15542Can I?
15542Can you get your arm through the loop?
15542Can you hold on?
15542Could n''t they get him to sign some paper-- something saying that he would give up his claim-- or that he would sell out cheap?
15542Dad make a good bargain?
15542Did I not know it? 15542 Did I not say that he was a hero?
15542Did Miss Valdés come to town herself, or is she letting you run this abduction, Menendez?
15542Did Mrs. Corbett send for you?
15542Did you bring our mail back with you from Corbett''s?
15542Did-- did-- were you shot at?
15542Do I understand that Mr. Gordon declines to meet my friend on the field of honor?
15542Do n''t I draw even a Libby Prison allowance?
15542Do n''t you know, sir, that you must n''t ask one lady to praise the beauty of another?
15542Do n''t you know, you little stupid, that he is playing with you, that he will not marry you?
15542Do n''t you reckon Santa Fé can stand a little stirring up, Miss Underwood?
15542Do n''t you think she will let me? 15542 Do they condemn him-- absolutely?
15542Do with it? 15542 Do you know her well?"
15542Do you know that he has been followed ever since he came to town, that men have dogged his steps everywhere?
15542Do you live near here, then?
15542Do you mean that you drove all night-- along mountain roads?
15542Do you mean that you-- love him?
15542Do you think I want to beat you that way? 15542 Do you think so... really?
15542Does she hate the ground that Don Manuel walks on?
15542Does the lady live who would put her new hat in a gunny sack?
15542Doggone your hide, what are you doing here? 15542 Don Manuel is very anxious to have Miss Valdés win, is n''t he?"
15542Gone where?
15542Gone where?
15542Gone where?
15542Got a skeleton key to Mr. Gordon''s room--317, I think it is?
15542Had quite a little jamboree, did n''t we?
15542Has Mrs. Corbett been neglecting you?
15542Has he made love to you, this gringo? 15542 Has the young woman lost a ribbon or a lover?"
15542Have n''t you from the first tried to save this man from his own rashness? 15542 Have you ever heard of the Moreño grant?"
15542Have your lawyers told you yet that you have no chance?
15542He said he would horsewhip Pedro, did he?
15542Here? 15542 How about that,_ niña_?"
15542How are you going to keep from accepting it, Miss Valdés? 15542 How can I guess?
15542How could we tell that the_ Señorita_ would come to town? 15542 How do you know?
15542How do you know?
15542How do you like this room?
15542How else could I feel, and be a white man? 15542 How far I went?
15542How goes it, Tom? 15542 How is Don Manuel to- night?"
15542How is he, Pablo? 15542 How long ago?"
15542How should I know?
15542How would they move? 15542 How?
15542I can bet it like I had an ace full, ca n''t I? 15542 I reckon she banks a heap on that blue blood of hers?"
15542I suppose I may ask questions?
15542I trust,_ señor_, your experience of yesterday has not given you a wakeful night?
15542I''ve been very sick, have n''t I?
15542If I''m not your enemy, what am I?
15542If it is n''t Don Manuel who is it?
15542In the grape business, is she?
15542Is Don Manuel going bear- hunting?
15542Is Pedro going to ride the outcast?
15542Is he dead?
15542Is it a bruise or a sprain?
15542Is it not worth it, sir?
15542Is it yes, dear? 15542 Is it you, Pablo?"
15542Is love all sighs and vows?
15542Is she tall?
15542Is that a threat? 15542 Is that all-- nothing more than a friend or a relative?"
15542Is that all?
15542It has perhaps occur to you that it would have been much easier to shoot you and be done?
15542It is dangerous, you inform me?
15542It is you, Manuel?
15542It is, then, war between us, Señor Gordon?
15542It''ll be the story of Evangeline all over again, wo n''t it?
15542Jealous-- why?
15542Jimmie, if I had your imagination----But Davis cut into Dick''s smiling incredulity:"Did you say on horseback, Jimmie?"
15542Juanita, light of my life?
15542Lost him in these rocks, did you?
15542Manuel, tell me that I am right, that you do n''t mean to... hurt him?
15542Manuel, what do you think Mr. Gordon has done?
15542Married?
15542May I see_ Doña_ Valencia-- alone-- for just a minute?
15542Miss Valdés, do you know, ever since I''ve been well enough, I''ve been hoping that if one of us had to cross the Great Divide it would be me?
15542More friends yet? 15542 Mr. Richard Gordon?
15542Must you really be going, colonel? 15542 No more than that?"
15542Not taking any chances, are they?
15542Not worth mentioning? 15542 Oh, you expect to meet her?"
15542Oh,_ Doña_, he was, but--"You have quarreled with him?
15542Only sorry, Manuel?
15542Owned by Miss Valdés?
15542Sebastian-- or is it Pablo?
15542Señor Gordon, have you ever heard of the Valdés grant?
15542Shall I drop a pill or two down among them, just to let them know we''re on the premises?
15542Shall I shoot another and send it for a present to Don Manuel, Jimmie?
15542She has?
15542She lives somewhere round here, too, does she not?
15542She''s quit taking any interest in me, has she? 15542 Since when have I been''_ señorita_''to you, Ramon?"
15542Since you''re in love with her, why do n''t you marry Miss Valdés and consolidate the two claims?
15542Slim and graceful, I expect?
15542So I''m in love, am I?
15542So she''s young and beautiful, is she?
15542So you advise me to cut and run, do you?
15542So you have lied to me, sir?
15542So you think I''m an infant at that game, do you?
15542So? 15542 So?
15542Some one die and leave you a million dollars, son?
15542Some one has told?
15542Starved as well as beaten, Manuel?
15542Steve Davis-- from Cripple Creek, Colorado, God''s Country?
15542Supreme Court decision just come down in your favor?
15542Sure it was n''t a lady, Dick?
15542That idea''s fixed in your mind, is it?
15542That was it, eh?
15542That you would be found out before you had won your end? 15542 That''s what you''d do, is it?"
15542The Valdés''tenants have settled on the land, grazed their flocks over it, bought farms here and there from the heirs, have n''t they?
15542The claims conflict, do they not?
15542The land included in this grant is of great value?
15542The_ señorita_ sent for me?
15542Then Mr. Gordon is what you call brave?
15542Then he refused?
15542Then we''ll meet your lady of the ranch quicker, wo n''t we?
15542Then why did you not tell me then who you are? 15542 Then you can tell me where I may find him?"
15542Then you must know the truth-- that if you kill this man I can never----"Never what?
15542They''re hitting the trail, are they?
15542Think I''m going to make a monkey of myself at my age?
15542Think we''ll be able to wolf the real owners out of their property all right, do you?
15542To Corbett''s?
15542Two, did you say?
15542Valencia, you love me?
15542Was I? 15542 Was that why you offered a hundred dollars''reward for the arrest of these same men?"
15542Well, at Corbett''s, then?
15542Well, did the Don take possession?
15542Well, she''s engaged, ai n''t she? 15542 Well, what did he say?
15542Well, what''s the matter with his hoping you''ll be all right soon?
15542Well, why do n''t you behave? 15542 What American?"
15542What about Juanita?
15542What about a nurse?
15542What about, my cousin?
15542What are they following you for?
15542What are you going to do with the papers now you have them, Miss Valdés?
15542What commission do you charge for running your matrimonial bureau?
15542What did you answer to the_ billy doo_?
15542What do n''t you know about her?
15542What do you want with a bunch of old letters?
15542What does she mean about a consolidation?
15542What else could I have done and held my self- respect? 15542 What good does it do you when you quarrel all the time you''re together?
15542What good does that do you? 15542 What happens to little girls when they ask too many questions?
15542What have you done with Mr. Gordon? 15542 What is it that I can do for you?"
15542What is it you have to tell? 15542 What is the matter?
15542What is this honor you talk so much about? 15542 What others?"
15542What shall_ I_ do with it?
15542What sort of a compromise have you to offer, sir?
15542What were his reasons, Mr. Gordon-- that is, if they are not a private affair between you and him?
15542What you going to do about it?
15542What''s bitin''you, anyhow? 15542 What''s new, Tregarth?"
15542What''s the matter with beating it while we''ve got a chanct?
15542What''s the sense of you going into the police business, Dick? 15542 What''s your first play, Dick?"
15542When, may I ask, did you discover who I was?
15542Where did you learn your riding, partner?
15542Where have you been? 15542 Where is Mr. Gordon?
15542Where is he, Sebastian? 15542 Where?"
15542Where?
15542Where?
15542Who has gone? 15542 Who is it this time I''ve got to be grateful for?"
15542Who was it? 15542 Who, child?
15542Why did you do it? 15542 Why do you say that?"
15542Why does the_ señorita_ send you every day to find out how he is? 15542 Why should I interfere?
15542Why should he pay it? 15542 Why should you be forced to give way to me?
15542Why?
15542Why?
15542Why?
15542Will I? 15542 Will any explanation alter the facts?
15542Will it not sacrifice pride and vanity for the object of its devotion?
15542Will the_ señor_ and the_ señorita_ take a walk? 15542 Will you be willing to tell him how you feel about it?"
15542Will you consent then to settle the matter with me, man to man? 15542 Will you please explain that?"
15542Will you then leave it to her to punish these men?
15542Would it be wise for me to admit I have none, before I go to discuss the terms of the treaty?
15542Would n''t they? 15542 Would you like to see the old Valdés house here in Santa Fé?
15542Would you mind having that box brought to me, Miss Valdés? 15542 Yes?"
15542Yet you say you love me?
15542You ai n''t aiming to mix with this whole blamed country, are you?
15542You are Juanita, are you not?
15542You are familiar with the Valdés grant?
15542You are interested in Miss Valdés?
15542You are then resolve'',_ Señor_?
15542You are then wounded, sir?
15542You believe the boy did see some men on horseback? 15542 You could n''t give_ my_ word, could you?
15542You darned old son- of- a- gun, what do you mean by scaring us like this? 15542 You do love me, do n''t you, Manuel?"
15542You do n''t mean that Valencia----?
15542You knew then,_ señor_, that I was the man?
15542You mean that Pablo was jealous?
15542You mean that he... loves Valencia Valdés?
15542You never know when you are licked, do you? 15542 You think that Mr. Pesquiera has hired them to watch you?"
15542You think they mean to attack us in the open?
15542You want me to believe that, even though you refuse the first real request I ever made of you?
15542You want to know why we have made you prisoner,_ Señor_ Gordon?
15542You were riding past, I expect?
15542You were to mention that to Manuel, I suppose?''
15542You will marry me?
15542You''re not going to push the cases against Pablo and Sebastian and still try to live in the valley, are you?
15542You-- what?
15542Your friend, then, is in peril, is it not so?
15542Your lawyers are paid to look up all this, are n''t they? 15542 _ Amigo!_ Since when have I been friend to you and not lover, Juanita?
15542_ Como_?
15542_ Doña,_ are you here?
15542_ Señor,_ shall I take the gag from your mouth? 15542 _ Señor_ Pesquiera?"
15542_ Si, Doña_, but----"But in the main we have always been sheep- herders, so we ought always to be? 15542 _ Si, Señorita._""And he was kind to you?
15542A regular case of beauty and the beast, ai n''t it?"
15542A regular debating society, ai n''t you?"
15542After a moment he added sullenly:"_ Maldito_, how is the son of a thief?"
15542After all, why should he pursue wealth and success when love and laughter waited for him in this peaceful valley chosen of the gods?
15542Afterward...""Afterward,_ alma mia?_"She nodded.
15542Ai n''t I making enough money up at Cripple Creek for my needs?
15542Ai n''t any of you got a lick of sense?
15542Ai n''t she a thoroughbred, Steve?"
15542Am I not right?
15542And had he not said, too, that she was a little angel for nursing him so patiently?
15542And what has been happening of such tremendous importance?"
15542And what of Pablo?"
15542And when did they go?
15542And why should she care what becomes of the traitor?"
15542Are you acquaint''with Mr. Richard Gordon?"
15542Are you hurt?"
15542Are you not a liar and a cheat?
15542As much as that?
15542Bean''t they, lads?"
15542Both of un?
15542But how can I love you when your heart is full of cruelty and jealousy and revenge?
15542But how?
15542But shall I break faith with him and let him be delivered to justice?
15542But what do you expect me to do when a fellow slaps my face?"
15542But you''ll send me a card, wo n''t you?"
15542Ca n''t I do a thing for you in the refreshment line first?
15542Ca n''t you make him see it, sir?"
15542Can she not telephone?
15542Can you do that, Pablo?
15542Can you feed me a cigareet?"
15542Can you make out how many there are?
15542Can you tell me whether it was saved?
15542Can you wait a few moments?"
15542Care if I smoke again?"
15542Corbett?"
15542Could it be Pablo who had shot at Gordon from ambush?
15542Dad blame it, have I got to watch my patients like a hen does its chicks?
15542Did I not say so?"
15542Did Juanita tell you----?"
15542Did he not already know that it was Pedro who shot at him?
15542Did he tell you so?"
15542Did n''t I tell you not to walk more than a few steps?"
15542Did n''t I tell you that you ca n''t bat these greasers over the head the way you can the Poles in the mines?"
15542Did n''t he run his fool laigs off getting you free so you could go back and make love to his girl?"
15542Did n''t she drive me off the ranch with that game leg of mine all to the bad?
15542Did n''t she tell me right off the bat what kind of a hairpin I was?
15542Did n''t you have a notion?"
15542Did n''t you hear the lady give you a bid to her party this mo''ning?
15542Did you find Mr. Gordon at home?"
15542Did you find Mr. Gordon so ready to give you his word and break it when he was your prisoner?"
15542Did you see the doctor and talk with him?
15542Do I have to show blue blood before I can be presented?
15542Do I win or lose, Valencia?"
15542Do n''t I know you?
15542Do n''t cry,_ niña_""How can it come right, with all of you working to make things wrong?"
15542Do n''t know I''m on the earth, you old owl?
15542Do n''t you think it''s about time for us to be heading back home?"
15542Do you know, my own people are in a dangerous mood?
15542Do you not owe something to her?"
15542Do you not see he is a villain, that he has the forked tongue, as old Bear Paw, the Navajo, says of all gringoes?
15542Do you think I am a highwayman, or that I shall let my people be?"
15542Do you understand?"
15542Do you?"
15542Does n''t he owe something to us-- to me-- and especially to you?"
15542Eh,_ Doña_?"
15542Feel as if you''d been run through a sausage- grinder?"
15542Funny how women act, ai n''t it?
15542Gordon''s?"
15542Gordon?"
15542Gordon?"
15542Gordon?"
15542Had he not broken the spirit of that outlaw devil Teddy in ten minutes?
15542Had he not once put his arm around her shoulder and told her to"buck up"when he came upon her crying because of Pedro?
15542Had he not proved himself unworthy by turning the head of Juanita, whom he could not possibly expect to marry?
15542Had he not seen him lean on her shoulder as he hobbled out to the porch, just as a lover might on that of his sweetheart?
15542Had he not told her she was the prettiest girl in the neighborhood?
15542Had he not won her by meeting the test she had given him?
15542Had he stolen her heart with his devilish wiles?
15542Had she not been good to his children when they had small- pox?
15542Had she not sold him his place cheaper than any other man could have bought it?
15542Had this stranger, who was bringing trouble to the whole valley, come between him and little Juanita, whom he had loved since they had been children?
15542Has he whispered soft, false lies in your ear, Juanita?
15542Have I not given my word that-- after the American was saved----?"
15542Have I not traveled from New Mexico up this steep roof of the continent merely to explain how matters stand?
15542Have I the right in thinking him of the name of Mr. Richard Gordon?"
15542Have a smoke, Don Manuel?"
15542Have you taken my advice in regard to consolidation?
15542He added after a pause:"It is this American, is it not?"
15542He perhaps mistakes me for what you call a-- a pettifogger, is it not?
15542He said--""Yes?"
15542Here now?
15542How can I come and ask you to fight my battles for me?
15542How can I thank you?"
15542How can we help it?
15542How can you take it from a whole company of them?"
15542How could I mean that, since I love you and am betrothed to you?
15542How could he say that he was ashamed to keep him tied while two armed men were in the room to watch him?
15542How did you get here?"
15542How do you know the_ señorita_ knows?"
15542How do you know?"
15542How is he going to get in out of the rain about that time?"
15542How many happy families you want to break up?
15542How was it possible for him to sleep so easily and lightly while he lay within the shadow of violent death?
15542How''s the_ don_?"
15542I demand to know who did it?"
15542I hope you had a good night''s rest, and that your knee did not greatly pain you?"
15542I mean, would it be if I were a claimant?"
15542I reckon you did n''t duck him for nothing, did you?
15542I suppose you have brought genealogical proofs with you?"
15542I suppose_ you_, too, will want to shoot him from ambush?"
15542I think you mentioned business, sir?"
15542I''m calling for that extra card for the looks of it, but my hand is full up without it""What''s in your hand, anyhow, outside of your legal right?
15542If she had to stifle some faint, indefinable regret, was it not right that she should?
15542If so, why was he so bitter against the common enemy?
15542If we must have trouble why ca n''t we let the law settle it?
15542If you were called away, why did you not leave a message for me?"
15542Important---- Is it not so?"
15542In what way kind?"
15542Instead, he voiced an alien thought that happened to intrude:"Do you know Señorita Valdés?
15542Is Dick a friend of your family?"
15542Is a man''s life not worth all to him?
15542Is he a god, and are we slaves?"
15542Is he an infant at it, too?"
15542Is he not an enemy to the_ señorita_--to all in the valley who have bought from her or her father or her grandfather?
15542Is he not here to throw us out-- a thief, a spy, a snake in the grass?"
15542Is he not?"
15542Is it certain they will not hold me in prison?"
15542Is it not so,_ niña_?"
15542Is it not so?"
15542Is it not so?"
15542Is it not that a house is a prison in such an hour?
15542Is it that you are still thinking of murdering him, Manuel?"
15542Is it true that this thief has stolen the love of my Juanita?"
15542Is my guess right?
15542Is n''t that just like a woman?"
15542Is n''t that what all your people are saying?"
15542Is n''t that what you''re going to use them for?"
15542Is not Pedro a sure shot, and did he not miss twice?
15542Is she as lovely as they say she is?"
15542Is that it?"
15542Is that late enough?
15542Is that not enough?
15542Is that not simple?"
15542It will be all right if I favor it""Favor it?
15542It''s not the first time, either, is it?
15542Jesu Cristo, who would know we did it?"
15542Like to look at it, Miss Valdés?"
15542May I give them your pledge not to appear as a witness against them for what they have done?"
15542My, we''re liable to go bankrupt in New Mexico, ai n''t we?
15542Object if I smoke here?"
15542Of what use to argue with the_ doña_ when her teeth were set?
15542Oh,_ Señorita_, do you think he will kill the American?"
15542Old Steve?"
15542Once he broke out with:"Did n''t she feed you well enough, or was it just that you did n''t_ know_ when you were well off?"
15542Or are you just having a kid quarrel with a girl?"
15542Or are you only a hot- headed, selfish, foolish boy?"
15542Or to these others?
15542Or was it in the possession of some one friendly to the scheme upon which the Mexicans had engaged?
15542Ought I to know about it?"
15542Pablo repeated stupidly,"Miss Valdés-- the_ señorita_?"
15542Perhaps---- But, no, had he not with his own eyes seen the man bantering Juanita while the color came and went in her wild rose cheeks?
15542Said I was a spy and a thief and a liar, did n''t she?
15542Say, ai n''t I rich?
15542Say, where can I find the original of this_ Agua Caliente_ grant, Miss Kate?"
15542Say, will you excuse me just a minute?
15542See that fellow with the Mexican hat?
15542See?
15542Shall I go to your friend and give him information?"
15542Shall I lend you a match?"
15542Shall we talk of something else?"
15542She looked through the window at the sunlit warmth of the land, and, after a long time, said:"Must we talk of that, Manuel?"
15542She paused just a moment before she said quietly:"But first, what about Mr. Gordon?
15542She said it, did n''t she?
15542So?
15542So?
15542So?"
15542Tell me what is in the air; what is planned for Señor Gordon; what Pedro has to do with it?
15542That Pesky fellow?"
15542That''s you, Dick Gordon, un''erstand?"
15542The original grantee was Don Bartolomé de Valdés, was he not?"
15542The point is, what will they do when they find he stands the acid?"
15542The señor could still see the holes in the pictures, could he not?
15542There could n''t be after this, could there?"
15542Think I ai n''t learned my ABC''s about my dry- nurse yet?"
15542Threw the hot shot into me proper for a cheap skate swindler, eh?"
15542Tom all right, Doctor?"
15542Tregarth boomed out in a heavy bass:"What''s the matter with the boss?
15542Want to come down with me, Tregarth?"
15542Was I precipitate?
15542Was he being led into a trap?
15542Was he not a gallant gentleman, of her own race and caste, bound to her by ties of many sorts, in every way worthy to be the father of her children?
15542Was he not the one suitable mate for her of all the men she knew?
15542Was it because she had been immodest in letting him so far have his way?
15542Was it possible after all that his jealousy had been useless?
15542Was not Manuel in every way worthy of her love?
15542Was she not a Valdés?
15542Was the house an unoccupied one?
15542Was there another in New Mexico that could, though taken at advantage, put up so fierce a fight against big odds?
15542What about Don Manuel?
15542What about Don Manuel?"
15542What business had they there at this time of the year?
15542What could it mean?
15542What could one do with a madman who insisted on throwing his life away?
15542What could they gain by it?"
15542What do you honestly think yourself about the legal end, ma''am?"
15542What do you say?
15542What do you think the madman did then?"
15542What does he say?"
15542What has happened?
15542What has he done to you?
15542What have I done any more than you to earn all this?"
15542What have you been up to?"
15542What have you done with Sebastian?
15542What have you done with him?
15542What have you to tell me?"
15542What in Mexico had got into the young idiot to make him do such a fool thing?
15542What in Mexico is ailin''you, anyhow?
15542What interest could Miss Valdés have in a spy and a cheat?"
15542What is it all about?"
15542What is it that you know?"
15542What is it that you know?"
15542What is your definition of a criminal anyhow?
15542What kind of a grant is it?"
15542What makes you think so?"
15542What shall I do?
15542What was it all about?"
15542What will you give me to let you into the room?"
15542What you kickin''about?"
15542What''ll it be?"
15542What''s that mean?"
15542What''s the charge against me?"
15542What''s the use of making a holy Caruso of yourself?
15542When I asked you about the grants did n''t you guess who I was?
15542Where have you him hidden?"
15542Where is Sebastian?"
15542Where were they taking him?
15542Where would you go?"
15542Wherefore, then, should the young men feel the spur of an ambition to take the world by the throat and wring success from it?
15542Who did it, sir?
15542Who else could shoot the heads off chickens at a distance as he had done?
15542Who has been taking care of me?"
15542Who was at the bottom of the attack upon him?
15542Who was he?"
15542Whom is it that they have gone to kill?"
15542Why did n''t she send a rig if you had to come?"
15542Why did she both admire him and resent his conduct, trust him to the limit one hour and distrust the next?
15542Why did the_ Doña_ drag her heart out to look at it?
15542Why did you leave without telling me about it?"
15542Why do n''t builders nowadays make such rooms?"
15542Why do n''t you ask me to compromise this land grant business?"
15542Why do n''t you come to an agreement with her?"
15542Why do n''t you go, old Calamity Prophet?"
15542Why do n''t you try a little horse sense for a change?
15542Why do the rightful heirs lose out and the villain gain possession?"
15542Why do you do it, then?"
15542Why had they not killed him at once?
15542Why is there a doubt of its legality?"
15542Why must all this bad will and bloodshed come into our happy little valley?
15542Why should I object?"
15542Why should he distrust her?
15542Why should he not have been given land for them, since his was the sword that had won the land against the Apaches?"
15542Why should n''t I?"
15542Why should she not?
15542Why should you be bound by a pledge made at such a time?
15542Why should you feel responsibility to search for these papers that will ruin you and your tenants?"
15542Why should you nurse him?
15542Why should_ Señorita_ Valdés treat her so harshly?
15542Why was it he persisted in filling her mind so much of the time?
15542Why was it that he-- an unassuming American without any heroics-- rather than her affianced lover seemed to radiate romance as he moved?
15542Why, above all, had he done this foolish and criminal thing?
15542Why, in Heaven''s name, did you take him there?"
15542Why, then, should he assume she was his enemy?
15542Will Mr. Gordon, who is himself of the brave heart, make trouble for an unprotected child without father or mother?"
15542Will that do?"
15542Will this_ Americano_ keep his word?
15542Will you swear not to cry out and not to make any noise?"
15542Will you take me for a friend, even though I''m an enemy to the whole valley?"
15542Will you take your shoes off when you go into the holy of holies?"
15542Wo n''t that affect its legality?"
15542Wo n''t you Steve?"
15542Wo n''t you please get on and ride now?
15542Would Don Manuel betray him to the law?
15542Would it be a knife in the dark?"
15542Would you care to see them?"
15542Would you mind telling me his name-- if it is n''t a secret?"
15542You are staying at Corbett''s, I presume?"
15542You can go if you like, Steve?"
15542You find four out of five of them want to, do n''t you?"
15542You going to hold the fort here or take to the hills?"
15542You heard this morning yet how Tom is?"
15542You know it is her house?"
15542You nursed Mr. Gordon, did you?"
15542You think she hates me, then?"
15542You would give new deeds to those who have bought land, would n''t you?"
15542You''re making a fight for the Rio Chama Valley, ai n''t you?
15542You''re not just saying so because...?"
15542You''ve been served with a legal notice, then?
15542You-- and men like you-- of broad ideas, progressive, energetic----""Quite a philanthropist, ai n''t I?"
15542_ Sabe, Señor_?"
15542please?"
15542pretty?"
15542that----?"
15542uninjured?"
23268''Ee do, do''ee? 23268 ''Ee know this child, do''ee?"
23268''Ee know, the Injun-- that are, the Coco-- fit wi''a hatchet?
23268''Ee see a quiver on that Injun''s back?
23268''Ee see that gully ahead o''us?
23268''Ee see them Injuns on t''other side o''the gulley?
23268''Ee see this, do''ee?
23268A Coco, do ye think?
23268A Coco?
23268A house? 23268 Agwardenty, ye say, div ye?"
23268Ai n''t wastin''yur powder, ar yur?
23268An''how are''ee gwine to` cacher''in the Peenyun''ithout water?
23268An''it is raaly worth fifty dollars?
23268And are you El Sol?
23268And ate it?
23268And can you account for that phenomenon?
23268And did she love him, do you think?
23268And have you no wish to go abroad through these gay woods?
23268And how came you, Monsieur Gode, to save your scalp?
23268And how else should I carry them? 23268 And is that love, Enrique?"
23268And is yon gal your sister?
23268And on the fourth--"Well? 23268 And this is the way you have thanked me for saving your life?
23268And what would you have us do?
23268And when did ye eat the buzzard, old boy?
23268And why do you not sketch other faces?
23268And why may we not question our brother, the chief Dacoma? 23268 And why not take that way?"
23268And why not, Enrique? 23268 And why, good Jose?"
23268And why?
23268And why?
23268And will you always be contented here?
23268And would you have the rest to remain here?
23268And yet they hate him, do they not?
23268And you have not been beyond these walls since then?
23268And you think she still lives?
23268And you think that the plains lying among the Andes and the Rocky Mountains are the dry beds of seas?
23268And you think we shall go there?
23268And your daughter Adele-- have you heard aught of her since?
23268And your wife? 23268 Apash, is he?"
23268Are they Navajoes?
23268Are they close upon you?
23268Are you in earnest, Saint Vrain?
23268Are you mad, sir?
23268Are''ee blind, Billee? 23268 Arrah, now, girls,"said he, in a tone of good- humoured intreaty,"will yez be aizy?
23268At an early hour?
23268Bring us a couple of tazas, then-- dos tazas, do you hear? 23268 But can they do this?"
23268But do they come no more to this place?
23268But does not one of these seas still exist?
23268But does not the vapour rising from the ocean float over the desert?
23268But his sister?--is she, too, educated?
23268But how are ye goin''to do it? 23268 But how are ye goin''to feed''em on the road?
23268But how did he accomplish all this? 23268 But how did you learn this?"
23268But how if the wine be poi--?
23268But how should we do for provisions, in that case? 23268 But how, captain, if he squints yonder- away?"
23268But how,I asked, wishing to draw his attention from this unpleasant theme,"how came I into this house?
23268But how? 23268 But how?"
23268But how?
23268But is monsieur fort? 23268 But may they not follow him on horseback?"
23268But this man? 23268 But what can monsieur do?
23268But what of Seguin? 23268 But what started the row?
23268But where are the rest of his band? 23268 But where could he have gone, when you did not see him afterwards?"
23268But where did you come from? 23268 But who?
23268But why cudn''t ye stale it yerself? 23268 But why not remain by this spring, where we have both in plenty?"
23268But why take either belt or bowie? 23268 But why were these abandoned?"
23268But why?
23268But will he pocket all this? 23268 But your tracks; you would make deep footmarks in the struggle?"
23268But, senor, should you be inclined to do so, will you promise me the refusal of him?
23268By puttin''them on another scent, do''ee see?
23268By what right do you interrupt me? 23268 Can I not understand it?
23268Can I untwist this? 23268 Can they be prisoners?"
23268Can ye pay for them now?
23268Can you ride upon your head?
23268Can you suggest any way in which it can be done, Rube? 23268 Can you tell me what a railroad is?"
23268Charles?
23268Did I see him arterwards? 23268 Did I?
23268Did you come across the` goats''?
23268Did you go it raw, Rube?
23268Did you observe a strange- looking man?
23268Did you see anything of Seguin?
23268Do that beat him, or do it not, then?
23268Do they look like prisoners?
23268Do ye think an Injun''s a- goin''to pass a shod horse track''ithout follerin''it up? 23268 Do you mean that he is a stranger here?"
23268Do you see that point?
23268Does not that destroy your theory?
23268Eh, mister? 23268 First gong that?"
23268Fwhat is it? 23268 Have you heard of the electric telegraph?"
23268Hay cafe?
23268He sat beside us?
23268He? 23268 How are we goin''to get them, then, captain?"
23268How are we to get out? 23268 How are ye goin''to prove it, hoss?"
23268How are you to get it down?
23268How can I thank you? 23268 How can that be?"
23268How can we prevent that?
23268How can we take them?
23268How can you tell that?
23268How could he do otherwise? 23268 How is it?
23268How long before we may expect them?
23268How long, papa? 23268 How long,"I asked,"before we can reach your house on the Del Norte?"
23268How long?
23268How many?
23268How then? 23268 How was it?"
23268How will we get at them, Rube?
23268How will you do it, Rube?
23268How? 23268 How?
23268How? 23268 How?"
23268How?
23268I say, old case, you do n''t mind it, do ye?
23268If it rains two hours, do''ee see,continued Rube, without paying attention to the last interrogatory,"we need n''t stay hyur, do''ee see?"
23268Is it deep?
23268Is that like me?
23268Is the animal asleep? 23268 Is this true, Sanchez?"
23268It are this then I''m larfin''at,replied Rube, sobering down a little,"I wa''n''t at Bent''s three days when who do''ee think shed kum to the Fort?"
23268It has a quare taste, has n''t it?
23268It is plain they have no supply of meat, and how are they to pass to the south without it? 23268 It''s a bet, boyee?"
23268It''s moine, dev yez say?
23268It''s some''ut like goat, ai n''t it?
23268Kin your cummarade depend on yer shot?
23268La polka?
23268Man- meat, I reckin?
23268Maybe it was the divil, Barney?
23268Monsieur?
23268No,said I;"what is it?"
23268Not for a good price?
23268Now, Rube; the arrows?
23268Now, sir,he continued, after a pause,"would you marry my daughter, the child of a wholesale murderer?"
23268Of what? 23268 Of what?"
23268Of what?
23268Oh, Enrique; do you think me so bad a scholar? 23268 On our heads?
23268Perhaps then you might be willing to part with your horse? 23268 Pourquoi, Barney?
23268Que es, senor?
23268Quetzalcoatl?
23268Quien sabe?
23268Rube, where can the rest of them be?
23268Sall I try steal''i m, Monsieur Saint Vrain?
23268Shall I have time to load them?
23268Shall we fire as he comes up, captain?
23268Shut up yer meat- trap, will ye?
23268So they will; but how can they in less time?
23268So you got square with the Rapahoes?
23268Surely no mortal hand has done this?
23268Thar''s one Delaware, and big Jim Harris, and--"Who is the third man that''s missing? 23268 The Great Salt Lake?
23268The Navajoes?
23268The army?
23268These ladies are all in different costumes, of different nations; are they not? 23268 These, then, are the celebrated prairie merchants?"
23268They have at times; but what can they do? 23268 They mout ef thur had n''t''a been so many o''these diggins, do''ee see?
23268Thur''s five o''''em, ai n''t thur?
23268To the west of the mountains?
23268Voici, messieurs?
23268Wagh? 23268 Wal; s''pose I plug it at sixty, plump centre?"
23268Wal;''ee see these hyur?
23268Warn''t it yer own shadder ye sighted in the water?
23268Well, and the women?
23268Well, brother,said Seguin,"are you satisfied?"
23268Well,I inquired,"what happened you?"
23268Well?
23268Well?
23268Were you inquiring for Monsieur Saint Vrain?
23268Whar, then?
23268What Indian do you mean?
23268What are ye doin'', old hoss?
23268What are ye laughin''at now, Rube?
23268What call you this? 23268 What dev ye think it is?"
23268What do you advise us?
23268What do you mean? 23268 What do''ee want, Billee?"
23268What does it mean?
23268What doo''ee want?
23268What follows, then? 23268 What if they should stay here to hunt?"
23268What is it, Gode?
23268What is it, Rube?
23268What is it?
23268What is it?
23268What is this fandango Gode has been telling me about?
23268What is this?
23268What is to be done?
23268What number; can you guess?
23268What then, captain?
23268What was it, Rube?
23268What was it?
23268What will they do next, think you?
23268What would they be doin''here so long? 23268 What''s keepin''them anyhow?"
23268What''s there, Rube?
23268What?
23268When would you have us make the dash, captain?
23268Where am I? 23268 Where am I?"
23268Where is it? 23268 Where is the Senora Armijo?"
23268Where should they cross, do you think?
23268Where''s your boots?
23268Where, then, will be your profits? 23268 Where?
23268Where? 23268 Whether have you been hunting or fishing?"
23268Which is your horse?
23268Who are the Maricopas? 23268 Who are these Indians?"
23268Who are these gentlemen?
23268Who are they?
23268Who are they?
23268Who dares to interrupt me?
23268Who is he?
23268Who is he?
23268Who is he?
23268Who is she,he continued,"that I am thus begging for a bride?
23268Who then? 23268 Who told you thus much of me?"
23268Who? 23268 Who?
23268Who?
23268Who?
23268Whur could he''a gone? 23268 Why are they here?"
23268Why did n''t''ee say yur hide wur white? 23268 Why do you think they have gone by the other trail?"
23268Why harm us? 23268 Why is it?"
23268Why not let the yellow- haired maiden return with us, and become my wife? 23268 Why not, Rube?"
23268Why not?
23268Why, ca n''t we go straight up to whar the rest''s cached, and then take round by the old mine? 23268 Why, captain?
23268Why, then, are they here? 23268 Why, to conceal ourselves in the Pinon range; what else?"
23268Why, yes,replied I, looking up;"what fault do you find?
23268Why,said he, looking at Seguin as he spoke,"why is it that the white chief is so desirous of choosing among our captives?
23268Why? 23268 Why?
23268Why? 23268 Will you return this way, senor?"
23268Will you take this hand? 23268 Would yez be so frindly, thin, as to cut it aff for me?"
23268Y porque?
23268Yes; what of it?
23268Yet,thought I,"I have seen something like them before, but where?
23268You are sure there is no pass that leads out but this one?
23268You call this a city, do you?
23268You go on then, of course?
23268You got them back then?
23268You have fears?
23268You heard, then, that I was Seguin the Scalp- hunter? 23268 You knew him, did ye?"
23268You knew it? 23268 You must have followed us from the Arkansas, then?"
23268You reached Bent''s then safe enough, I reckin?
23268You think it is they, Rube?
23268You would have these twenty to keep far in the advance then, capture the videttes, and wait till the main body comes up?
23268You would marry her, then?
23268Yur the young fellur, the capt''n''s friend, ai n''t''ee?
23268''Ee see that, do''ee?"
23268''Ee''ve got six shots, have''ee?
23268''Tain''t Bill Garey?
23268( And why?)
23268( Would you smoke, sir?)
23268A brave return, good sir; what think you?"
23268A house?
23268After a moment''s silence he opened the conversation with the abrupt interrogatory,"What do you know of me?"
23268After all, was the story of the wandering priest true?
23268Agwardent or vino?"
23268An''was n''t she a raal beauty?"
23268And when you love one, her face is always before you, whether she herself be present or no?
23268Are not you?
23268Are not yours the same?
23268Are these whom you have chosen?"
23268Are you mad?
23268Are you ready, my bold rider?"
23268Are you still in the mind to marry her?"
23268As far as we could see, there was no prospect of water on the plain; but what else could we do than cross it?
23268At what point should I find them?
23268Barney was evidently the subject of their mirth; but what was there about him to cause it, more than about any of the rest of us?
23268Beef or mutton?"
23268But Saint Vrain-- the witty, the buoyant, the sparkling Saint Vrain-- what misfortune has befallen him?
23268But how, in Heaven''s name, have you got clear?"
23268But how?
23268But is it thus north and south of the route we travelled?"
23268But is that your ball- dress?"
23268But the words were out--"When I must leave you?"
23268But what''s this?
23268But where were they who had once made these walls echo with their voices?
23268But, tell me, were you in earnest when you spoke of going with us across the plains?
23268Can anyone tell?"
23268Can they belong to the band, fighting against--?"
23268Come along, will yer?"
23268Could I reach the snowy mountain before sunset?
23268Could I throw my body flat, and prevent myself from sinking deeper?
23268Could he have escaped from the thicket while the men were engaged around the fallen buffaloes?
23268Could it be Indians?
23268Could it be a mock surprise of some friendly tribe?
23268Could it be that she was too young to understand the import of the word love?
23268Could it be the mirage?
23268Could it have been a signal?
23268Could n''t you, Barney?"
23268Could not a party get round to the eastern end of the valley and prevent this?
23268Could this man be the hardened and heartless villain I had heard of, the author of so many atrocities?
23268Could we not turn the southern sierra, and come in through the forest itself?
23268D''yur think''ee kud hit a spread blanket wi''that beetle- shaped blunderbox?
23268Did he tell you no more of me than this?"
23268Did my horse possess the"bottom"?
23268Did n''t ye hear a crack?
23268Did n''t ye see the thing fall?
23268Did yez niver see rid hair afore?"
23268Did you see him afterwards?"
23268Did''ee iver see a catamount riz?"
23268Do I not understand all that you tell me of the far countries where you have been?
23268Do n''t I look like him?
23268Do n''t''ee see his moccasin?"
23268Do ye wish to put your old carcass into an agey?"
23268Do you all bind yourselves to this?"
23268Do you lie sleepless on your soft couch?
23268Do you long for my return, as I to hasten it?
23268Do you not remember?
23268Do you think I could rob you of what you esteem so highly, and with such just reason, too?
23268Do you think I love you, Enrique?"
23268Do you think the Yankees have an eye to this quarter?"
23268Do you want to git soaked, old case?"
23268Do''ee know what sort o''brush thur a- toatin''yander?"
23268Do''ee see these hyur nicks: them standin''sep''rate?"
23268Eh, boyees?"
23268Eh, voyageur?"
23268El Sol?"
23268Enrique, why did you tell me that you loved me?
23268Flowers?
23268Follow him to Parida?
23268For what purpose?
23268For what purpose?
23268Had I encountered him in my struggles for water, or had I dreamed it?
23268Had I imbibed a portion of the divine essence that lives, and moves, and has its being in those vast solitudes?
23268Had he escaped, as he intended?
23268Had she been as true to me?
23268Had they scalped me?
23268Hain''t ye, Rube?"
23268Have you not won her affections?"
23268Have you seen the captive ocelot?
23268Have you seen the wild bird that refuses to be tamed, but against the bars of its cage- prison still beats its bleeding wings?
23268He fired two: where is the other?
23268He has done so before: how can this be?"
23268How are''ee gwine to get at it with this cavayard''ithout makin''sign?
23268How came I here?
23268How can we know that this is true?
23268How come they to be here?
23268How is it with you?
23268How is that?
23268How is the wind?"
23268How long have you been up?"
23268How long, Enrique?"
23268How many hours do you think, Enrique?"
23268How much water have we?"
23268How thin?"
23268How was the town to be taken?
23268How were we to approach the valley?
23268How when we have travelled over and neared the opposite side?
23268How will your long- tailed blue look, with a broad belt and bowie strapped round the skirts?
23268How would they be armed?
23268How, capitaine?"
23268How, then, was Rube to"take the shine out o''that Injun''s shot"?
23268How?"
23268I asked, hurriedly;"how shall we act then?"
23268I asked, the remembrance of our first interview now occurring to me,"why were you so eager to possess him?"
23268I asked,"this man about whom there seems to be so much that is mysterious?"
23268I inquired, doubting the possibility of our enemies being able to effect their purpose in that way;"can we not bear the smoke?"
23268I know it; and why not?
23268I saw that I was still upon the platform; but where was my antagonist?
23268I say, city life do n''t agree with us, eh?"
23268I see nothin''but them about; an''how are we goin''to get them''ithout shootin''?"
23268I think you said then that I could not?"
23268If they wur a- comin''ahint, some o''them niggurs on t''other side wud''a gone back afore this to hurry''em up, do''ee see?
23268If you have just arrived from two hundred miles down the Rio Grande, how, may I ask, could you have known anything about me or my horse?"
23268In New Mexico?
23268In half a day I warrant they kin get all the meat they want: but how are they a- goin''to jirk it in less than three?
23268In my hands?"
23268In the fust place, then,''ee all see that this hyur prickly ai n''t more''n hef size o''the squash?"
23268Is he--""What?
23268Is it a wolf?
23268Is it jealousy?
23268Is it not so?"
23268Is it not so?"
23268Is it that he wishes to get back the yellow- haired maiden?"
23268Is that mountain near the line of our course, think you?"
23268Is your wound a severe one?"
23268It is, then, to--""Git a grist of scalps; what else?"
23268It smells like one-- one--""Is it fish, ye mane?"
23268It would please the Great Spirit and satisfy us to exchange our captives; but how can we tell that your words are true?
23268Kud yur Injun do that?
23268Look hyar, little''un, kin yer go the b''ar dance?"
23268Look to yur sights, and give''em gos; do''ee hear?"
23268May she not?"
23268Me-- your father?"
23268Mucho bueno?
23268Now, cap, do''ee see how?"
23268Old fellow, do n''t you know me?"
23268Pourquoi: vy he no like him ver sheep?
23268Prisoners?"
23268Shall we go forward?
23268Shall we leave such souvenirs?
23268Shet up yur heads, an''wait, will ye?"
23268Should I hoist my handkerchief, and try to lure them up?
23268Should I imitate their call?
23268Should we move on to it that night?
23268Some fear that we were still in peril from the pursuing foe?
23268Starve us out?
23268Tell me, where am I?
23268The child- like simplicity of that question,"Enrique, what is to marry?"
23268The music; will you play again?"
23268Then someone asked me, would I not like to join them in"a trip"?
23268These, and other inhuman acts, you have no doubt heard of?"
23268They were gone; but where?
23268This mountain, then, must be reached; and how were we to effect it without crossing the trail?
23268To whom?
23268Voulez vous?"
23268Wa''nt it?"
23268Was I certain I saw it?
23268Was I suffering a retribution of God?
23268Was he about to take my life, or bind me by some fearful oath, this man of cruel deeds?
23268Was it a mountain of gold?
23268Was it mortal?
23268Was it possible he could hear me?
23268Was it that city of golden gates and burnished towers?
23268Was it the Cibolo of the Spanish padre?
23268Was she blushing?
23268Was there no one there?
23268We can not bring them prisoners?
23268We can, live for weeks upon them; but will the cacti assuage the thirst of men and horses for a period of three or four days?
23268We had hardly lit our cigarettes when the man again turned to me with the unexpected question--"Will you sell your horse?"
23268We have our blankets; what more do we want?"
23268We kin try neverthemless; an''mind, young fellur, it''s our only chance: do''ee hear?"
23268Well, mozo, you have brought the coffee?"
23268Well-- about the buzzard?"
23268Well?"
23268Were his thoughts in communion with mine?
23268Were these the inhabitants of the city?
23268Were they sportsmen?
23268Whar would we be after a volley?
23268What am I larfin''at?
23268What am I larfin''at?"
23268What are they?"
23268What are you doing here?"
23268What can she know of love?"
23268What cloud is crossing the rose- coloured field of his horoscope?
23268What could I do?
23268What could he want with your horse?
23268What could it mean?
23268What could it mean?
23268What covers the broad expanse between?
23268What crime, then, have I committed?
23268What did they intend to do with these?
23268What did you see?"
23268What do I behold?
23268What do we see?
23268What do we want with so much meat?"
23268What does he intend to do with this?
23268What else?
23268What feat could he perform that would eclipse the one just witnessed?
23268What gave me a beard?
23268What had brought such an individual to such a place?
23268What hindered him from taking the horse instead of the mule?
23268What is Seguin doing?
23268What likelihood was there that she would remember her mother?
23268What next?
23268What next?"
23268What number of men composed it?
23268What of him?
23268What other plan would they adopt?
23268What other road, then, can we take?"
23268What reptile is gnawing at his heart, that not even the sparkling wine of El Paso can drown?
23268What say you, voyageur?"
23268What shall we do with it?"
23268What should hinder me to combine profit with pleasure, and invest it as you do?"
23268What should we do?
23268What terrible proof was he going to exact of my faith, of my love?
23268What then had--?
23268What then?
23268What then?
23268What then?
23268What use are these manikins in creation?
23268What want you with us?"
23268What was it?
23268What was to be done?
23268What were the lives of men like these?
23268What would you do first, Rube?
23268What''ll yer drink?
23268What''s the dratted rumpus?"
23268What, then, if the demon had whispered truly?
23268When you are near me, why should I not be happy?"
23268Whence came these?
23268Whence had it come?
23268Where are the glossy gentlemen of the Planters''Hotel?
23268Where are the houses, the palaces, that should appertain to these lordly parks?
23268Where are the owners of these lands, of these flocks and fowls?
23268Where are they now?
23268Where could they be?
23268Where did you find me?"
23268Where did you see them?"
23268Where has he gone?
23268Where have they gone?
23268Where is Seguin?
23268Where was I last?
23268Where was Rube?
23268Where was it now?
23268Where was the owner?
23268Where were its sands of gold?
23268Where were the busy gossips?
23268Where, then, is all the money to some from?"
23268Wherein have I wronged you?"
23268Who am I that ask this?
23268Who are these forms?
23268Who are you, sir?
23268Who are you?
23268Who are you?"
23268Who are''ee, anyhow?
23268Who can answer this?
23268Who did''ee think this child wur?"
23268Who had ever penetrated this region, the very country in which the ecclesiastic represented the golden city of Cibolo to exist?
23268Who had knelt under the sacred shadow of that once hallowed pile?
23268Who had proved it a fable?
23268Who has run away?"
23268Who hath woven them into these pictured parterres?
23268Who is Tantalus?
23268Who is the sixth?"
23268Who knows but what they may flit in the morning?"
23268Who knows the end?
23268Who knows?
23268Who of them had not heard of it, whether credulous or not?
23268Who palavered about a post?
23268Who planted these flowers?
23268Who told you?"
23268Who''s goin''to take his word?"
23268Whose?
23268Whur do''ee want me to go?"
23268Whur is she?
23268Why did you teach me to love?"
23268Why do n''t ye off wid it, man?"
23268Why do you wish to know that?"
23268Why had not he finished me?
23268Why had not he flung me over the cliff?
23268Why is not she happy?
23268Why not here?"
23268Why not joyous, having recovered her long- lost, much- loved child?
23268Why not?"
23268Why?
23268Will he fling it up, and send his bullet through it in the air?
23268Will not the Government--?"
23268Will ye?"
23268Will you forgive me?"
23268Wood?
