37038''You would judge her alone, forgetting her mother?'' 37038 ''You?''

37038And the other favor, Billy?
37038And your father and mother, what of them, my friend?
37038Anything queer about''em?
37038Around the Horn, then?
37038At last I mustered up courage and asked:''How is Tamplin?'' 37038 But you will land me in''Frisco, wo n''t you?
37038D''ye know if you go in ye got to stay for the next two weeks?
37038Did you take care of my pack?
37038Do you know that dirty old pack contains more treasures than the mines of Africa?
37038Er-- what became of the young man that they-- er-- adopted?
37038Ever seen her?
37038God bless your dear eyes,said I,"where would we have all been now but for you?"
37038Good gracious,said I,"whatever brought you away out here, and had n''t you just as lief shoot a man as scare him to death?"
37038Gunderson, old man, how are you?
37038Have you ever made any inquiries about the mother, Gun?
37038He is in no great danger?
37038How did you know it was my wife anyway?
37038How old is she?
37038I thought you had got over that a long time ago?
37038I turned and bolted toward a door, when Gardiner yelled:''Where are you going?''
37038Inspection- car,said I;"how did you get here?"
37038It was getting dusk and we were out of sight, so I sat down the pail and asked:''Do I get a kiss, this evening?''
37038Let me see, what is your name?
37038Let''s see, where shall I begin?
37038M----? 37038 Mother, how can you forgive me?"
37038Of course--"Sure she spoke?
37038Oh, I see; married again?
37038Oh, what story? 37038 She got up; came to our table and laid a card by my plate, and said,''I beg your pardon; but wo n''t you call on me?
37038Story- teller,said I;"what story?"
37038Sunk?
37038Suppose, Gun, that she showed up now; loved you more than ever for what you have done, and renewed her old proposal? 37038 Tell me about her?"
37038Thanks, captain, I know I must look all of that; but, let me see, forty- five, fifty- five, sixty- five, seventy-- seventy-- what year is this?
37038There was a tremor in the Kid''s voice as he took my hand and said,''We are friends, Jim; ai n''t we?'' 37038 Wa''n''t it below the knee?"
37038Was the amputation above or below the knee?
37038Washout?
37038Well, John Alexander, how in the name of thunder did you get away out here on the main stem, without orders?
37038Well,continued the stranger,"he let me look for a minute or two, and then said:''Was it anything particular?''
37038Went up special to a weddin'', do n''t you see? 37038 What did she say?"
37038What did you tell her, Gun?
37038What does he want, Jack?
37038What for?
37038What leg story?
37038What now, Billy?
37038What ship?
37038What would you do, if she was to turn up?
37038When can I get to Boston?
37038When we were out of earshot, she asked without looking up:''Well, old coolness, are you all right?''
37038Where did you get her?
37038Where does Dillon''s folks live now?
37038Where''s John?
37038Where?
37038Which foot?
37038Who is she, did you say?
37038Who''s been double- heading, Gun?
37038Why, how''s that?
37038Why,I asked,"are you so short- handed that you are doubling and trebling?"
37038Why,''Lige, do n''t you know who the woman was that gave you brandy, held your head, and used her skirts for bandages when you were hurt?
37038You did?
37038Yours, Gun?
37038''Rope?''
37038''What are you doing freezing here when we can both be comfortable and warm in the house?
37038A young woman came in, looked at me hard for a moment, laid a package on my desk and asked,"Is this the Mr. Alexander who used to be an engineer?"
37038And who the hell says they ai n''t?''
37038Are you ashamed or afraid to sleep with me?
37038As I went toward the engine, I met the watchman:"''Phy do n''t that fireman o''yourn sleep in the house or on the caboose floor such a night as this?
37038As we cleaned our feet at the door, I said:"Let me see, I did not hear your name?"
37038But where will you put it?''
37038By the bald- headed Abraham, who says Chuck Burrows ai n''t got no kin?
37038Could she make them see her?
37038Did n''t she kill Jim O''Neil with the reverse lever?
37038Do you know?"
37038Had n''t she been burned the first trip?
37038Had n''t she lain down on the bed of the Arkansas river and wallowed on"Scar Face"Hopkins, and he not up yet?
37038Had n''t she run away time and again without cause or provocation?
37038He lit his pipe and asked:"Been whaling, or hunting the North Pole?"
37038He looked away from me, reached over and started the pump, and said:"Do n''t you know?"
37038Hogg, do n''t you know me?''
37038How is it for a ride?"
37038How old would you take me to be?"
37038How''s my friend, Sanson?''
37038I came on board out of curiosity to----''"''Reporter, hey?''
37038I exclaimed;"why, how was that?"
37038I met Jack and a policeman, on my next trip, and he exclaimed:"''Why, ai n''t you gone out yet?''
37038I was afraid you would not let me stay with you, if you knew--''"''Why, you ai n''t killed any one, Kid?''
37038Is he as badly disfigured as I am?''
37038Jim Wainright put his hand up to his eyes for a minute, and his voice was a little husky as he said:"No, John, the Kid went away--""Went away?"
37038Jim put his finger on it, and then turning me around towards him, he said:"How came you by that?"
37038John, did you ever notice that you could_ feel_ the presence of some people; you knew they were near you without seeing them?
37038Just as soon as all is safe, you shall hear from me; ca n''t you trust me, Joe?''
37038Long I look into their peaceful depths thinking of their story, and ask,"Dear Eyes, is it well with thee?"
37038My God, man, where''s Rachel?''
37038No one but mothers have a right to expect to go to a heaven, and the only question that''ll be asked is,''Have you been a mother?''
37038Now, ca n''t you help me to fool that old villain of a Sanson, and put papa''s half of the money in a safe place?''
37038Now, will you go on the 17_ as ordered_?''
37038Old Chuck Burrows was a particular friend of mine-- where is he?"
37038Running, I suppose?"
37038Say, captain, how long will it take to get there, and how long before you start?"
37038See that low place where we went up?
37038See this peak?
37038The eyes do not change as once they did, or has age dimmed my sight and imagination?
37038The next trip I had to buy some underclothes: would"mother"tell me how to pick out pure wool?
37038The other day, my office boy brought me a card that read,"Mrs. Henry Adams, Washington, D. C.""Is she a book agent?"
37038Then Hopkins brought in his little three- year- old daughter, who immediately climbed on my knee, captured my watch, and asked:"What oo name?"
37038There was a tear in his eye, as he turned to go away, so I stepped up to him and asked:"Any new wives wanted down your way, Elder?"
37038They do n''t come right down and say,"Something''s the matter with me; what would you do for it?"
37038Wainright, who is going to fire the Experiment?''
37038Was I running the"III"or was"Her Eyes?"
37038What are you a- doin''?
37038What better was I than this woman?
37038What de ye say?
37038What kind o''looking chap is he?"
37038What was it?
37038What would you do if I should die?''
37038What''s become of him?
37038What''s his name?"
37038When did you come out here?
37038Where be you goin'', anyway?''
37038Where was it?
37038Who is she?
37038Who says I''m not?''
37038Why ca n''t you use some judgment in your runnin''?
37038Why did he go?
37038Will you do it?''
37038Wo n''t you help me?"
37038Wo n''t you take him?
37038Would he take$ 2,100 out of Jim''s money, unbeknown to Jim, and pay the balance of the price of the farm over what"mother"had?
37038Would they stop for her?
37038Would you mind sending down for it?"
37038You remember the Black Prince robbery?''
37038Your father?''
37038do you know I was wishin''and waitin''for you?
37038inquired a Yankee sailor, sticking his nose and a clay pipe overboard;''might you be wantin''to come aboard?''
37038that kid?''
37038why, man, fighting was meat and drink to him----''"''Was he a whaler?''
22497About half an hour, but----"Was any one with you during that half hour?
22497And thee says he is young?
22497And thee''ll speak gently with him?
22497And who are you? 22497 And you recognized him then?"
22497Are there any more like you?
22497Are you sure of it?
22497Are you willing to swear to the same thing now?
22497But is n''t it middling dangerous to run so fast?
22497But what is the matter, Rodman? 22497 But why did n''t he refuse to allow it to move?"
22497Can any of these men identify this alleged locomotive thief?
22497Did n''t you tell me you were willing to take oath that the lad whom you caused to be arrested and the horse- thief were one and the same person?
22497Did you suspect Rod, I mean this brakeman, of being the train robber?
22497Do n''t you feel any anxiety concerning it? 22497 Do n''t you think we ought to break in the door with an axe and make a rush for him?"
22497Do n''t you, Smiler, old dog?
22497Do you also know him?
22497Do you consider him a person whose word is to be trusted?
22497Do you happen to know a young man from there named Rodman Blake?
22497Do you know him too?
22497Do you know,he said,"that we have just covered a mile in forty- two seconds, and that we are travelling at the rate of eighty- five miles an hour?"
22497Do you mean that I lie?
22497Do you mean to say that you think I stole those diamonds?
22497Does thee think he has had any breakfast?
22497Evidently not,interrupted Mr. Hill dryly;"You are the young man recommended to me by President Vanderveer, I believe?"
22497Had they anything to do with his leaving Euston, and seeking employment on this road?
22497Have we any orders to do so?
22497How is this, sir?
22497How long was the bag in your possession?
22497How would you like to fire for me in his place?
22497I suppose you want me to arrest that fireman too?
22497I wonder if they got anything before he caught them?
22497I wonder which of you I am to believe, or if either is telling me the truth?
22497Is he the train robber?
22497Is it certain that he did all these things, Robert?
22497Is n''t it, Al?
22497Is that the height of your ambition?
22497Is thee willing I should take it to him?
22497It looks as though you and I were pretty solid on this road, does n''t it, Rod?
22497Look here, young fellow,said the leader, harshly,"why will you persist in such nonsense?
22497Looks like a brakeman, does n''t he?
22497May I inquire,asked Conductor Tobin, seating himself on a locker close to where Rod still sat on the floor,"May I inquire who you are?
22497Meaning me?
22497No?
22497Now, what were you trying to tell me about men dying in the road?
22497Only what?
22497Or''Runaway Blake''?
22497Railroad Blake?
22497Smiler? 22497 So I see,"said Conductor Tobin,"and you look very comfortable; but how does he like it?"
22497So you''ve come here looking for work, have you? 22497 That''s just it, and I do n''t think it''s very surprising that I failed to win the race with a wheel in that condition, do you?"
22497Then why did you telegraph that you had the train robber in custody, and bring us here to identify him?
22497Then you do n''t think Rodman has any chance of winning?
22497Then you do n''t think he is the person who took the horse from you?
22497Then you would n''t mind having him on your train, while Joe is laid by?
22497This is an outrage, and----"Is this the fellow, Al?
22497Tobin? 22497 Upon what charge?"
22497Well, sir,began the Major,"what have you to say for yourself?
22497What are they?
22497What are you doing out here, sir? 22497 What are you laughing at?"
22497What diamonds?
22497What did he do with it?
22497What do you mean?
22497What else did he do?
22497What else? 22497 What makes you think this is not it?"
22497What would I do if I were blind?
22497What''s the matter here?
22497When will he be back?
22497When you caught who?
22497Where is he now?
22497Where''s my wheel?
22497Who was he? 22497 Why could n''t I do it?"
22497Why should we ever trouble ourselves, Robert, about those who are strangers, or sick, or in prison? 22497 Will what, and wo n''t what?"
22497You are from Euston, I believe?
22497You have opened it before this, of course?
22497You would, would you?
22497And how came thee here in this terrible place?"
22497Anything the matter with your wheel?"
22497Appleby?"
22497Are you its conductor?"
22497Are you willing to tell me what you know about this business of robbing our freight trains?
22497As he handed it back, he said,"So Brown thinks Appleby did it himself?"
22497As the latter finished, the young captain sprang to his feet, exclaiming:"Snyder Appleby, how dare you bring such an accusation against me?
22497At the same moment he of the smoked glasses was saying to himself:"So that is what happened while I lay there like a log by the roadside, is it?
22497B.?"
22497But what are you doing to him?"
22497But what does it all mean?
22497Could it be that he had heard aright?
22497Could this be the very train robber of whom he was in pursuit?
22497Did he leave it alone and unguarded?"
22497Did n''t you know that he was private secretary to our superintendent?"
22497Did people always travel in such overwhelming numbers, that it seemed as though the whole world were on the move, or was this some special occasion?
22497Did they believe Rodman Blake guilty of the act charged against him or did they not?
22497Did you find out who he was?"
22497Do n''t you hear the engine coming back?
22497Do n''t you know me?
22497Do n''t you remember me?"
22497Do n''t you?
22497Every one therefore looked up in surprise when he entered it and demanded, in a tone of authority,"What''s the trouble here?"
22497Had they seen anything of him?
22497Have you had enough of railroading?"
22497He only answered,"Do you?
22497How came you here?
22497How could he have reached Millbank?
22497How is it, Blake?
22497How on earth did it get there?"
22497I hope this change strikes you as being one for the better also?"
22497I wonder if Snyder could have put that emery into the oil- cup himself?
22497I''d like to know what you know about railroad business, anyhow?
22497Incredible as it seemed, this must be the very man, and now what was to be done?
22497Is n''t that so?"
22497Is n''t there some way of making him slow down?"
22497Is there any doubt but what he also found it in the home to which he had gone so peacefully, and with so happy a smile lighting his face?
22497It is to be the hardest one of all, is n''t it?"
22497Nor will thee relock the door that I left open?"
22497Now what had he to show for it?
22497Now, however, you will go home with us and have a full explanation with him, will you not?"
22497On the whole gentleman, I do n''t think I''d better arrest him, do you?"
22497Or do you prefer to stick to your lying story and go to prison for it?"
22497Regarding him keenly, the superintendent said:"So you want to be paid for being honest, do you?
22497See?"
22497Should he continue to be the slave of pride, and submit to its dictates?
22497The number of the locomotive that drew it then?
22497Then he explained how, and under what circumstances he had met Rod, and ending by asking,"What sort of a railroad man do you think he would make?"
22497Then turning to Rodman he asked,"What have you to say for yourself?"
22497Then, as though he were propounding a conundrum, he asked:"Do you know the difference between a railroad man and a chap who wants to be one?"
22497Tobin?"
22497WHERE ARE THE DIAMONDS?
22497Was I not right then, in saying that this poor fellow had left you a reward for your bravery that you will value so long as you live?"
22497Was ever a fellow placed in a more perplexing situation?
22497Was he a railroad man?"
22497Was her bit of blue ribbon to be borne triumphantly to the front?
22497Was her champion to win after all?
22497Was it ahead of him or behind?
22497Was it possible that he was thus unceremoniously thrown out of work to make a place for his former brakeman?
22497Was n''t it all right when you started?"
22497What a wild- goose chase I have come on anyway, and what should I do if I overtook the robber?
22497What are you doing here?"
22497What could Mr. Hill mean?
22497What could have become of them?
22497What tortures might he not suffer in this moving prison?
22497What was the number of the train with which it came in?
22497What would become of him?
22497What would n''t he give for a cup at that moment?
22497What''s the matter with it?
22497Where could they all be going to, or coming from?
22497Where have I ever seen thee before?"
22497Where have you been, and where are you bound?
22497Where, then, was his leather satchel?
22497Which way should he go?
22497Why have you stopped us, and what is the meaning of this disguise?"
22497Why not make use of this animal if he could catch it?
22497Why should I not be a railroad man as well as another?
22497Why, Smiler, old dog, how did you come here in this fix?
22497Would it not be absolutely wrong to refuse it under the circumstances?
22497Would n''t you, papa?"
22497You remember me, do n''t you, young man?"
22497You''ll wish me good luck, wo n''t you?"
22497[ Illustration: THE SHERIFF HANDS ROD THE LEATHER BAG.--(_Page 201._)]"Has the bag been out of your possession since the arrest of this-- person?"
22497and how do you explain this disgraceful affair?"
22497and how you got here?
22497and what do you mean by bringing that dog in here?"
22497and what''s came of the fellow we left sleeping here a few minutes ago?
22497and what''s happened to Smiler?
22497and what''s the meaning of all this business, anyway?"
22497and where you came from?
22497commanded the superintendent sharply, and then to Rod he said:"How can you prove your statements?"
22497cried the first of the new- comers,"what''s up?
22497did n''t I tell yer Honor he''d maybe lie on me?"
22497exclaimed one;"what''s in this oil cup?
22497exclaimed the sheriff;"you have n''t left his cell- door unlocked, mother, after the strict charges I gave you concerning that very thing?"
22497he asked, meaning,"Are you on railroad business?"
22497or should he boldly throw off its yoke and declare himself free and independent?
22497what are you about?"
33947Any trouble to climb it?
33947Are n''t you going to change engines and crews at Arickaree?
33947Are you right back there, Pat?
33947But do you know enough to keep your head on your shoulders and your train on your orders?
33947But what does S. stand for?
33947Can they ever get over Beverly with fifty, Neighbor?
33947Can you handle a passenger- train?
33947Can you handle it?
33947Can you make it by eleven o''clock?
33947Can you pull ahead any?
33947Checks are running light, too, now-- eh, Dad?
33947Claims he is; his name is McNeal--"McNeal?
33947Dark- complexioned fellow?
33947Did anybody who ever knew Siclone forget him?
33947Did he say what I would be doing while this was going on?
33947Did you get a nap?
33947Did you hear about the boy''s getting pounded last night-- Georgie McNeal? 33947 Do you remember Siclone, Reed?"
33947Eh, Dad?
33947Fired?
33947Full of water, I suppose?
33947Got a girl back in Pennsylvania?
33947Got any tobacco?
33947Has n''t the man trouble enough without tackling your chiccory?
33947How does she run, Foley?
33947How is she steaming, Bartholomew?
33947How long have you been in the train service?
33947How many air cars has he got?
33947How old is that boy?
33947How so?
33947How would you like to go pilot to- morrow for McCurdy? 33947 How?"
33947Is he off the Reading?
33947Is n''t that a crossing cut ahead?
33947Is that any reason for calling a thousand men out on this end?
33947Is that where you leave your wealth, Georgie?
33947Is the boy holding out?
33947Is your name Fitzpatrick?
33947Look here, partner,exclaimed Cameron, laying a heavy hand on Foley''s shoulder;"you do n''t want to take this train out, do you?
33947Make what?
33947Mate,he stammered,"you''ve been through a strike yourself-- you know what it means, do n''t you?
33947Maybe you did n''t know my word was out?
33947Maybe, son,growled Hamilton;"and break my back doing it?"
33947McWilliams? 33947 Me?
33947Me? 33947 Me?"
33947Me?
33947Mean? 33947 Mean?"
33947Mean?
33947Not Georgie McNeal?
33947Now what does a man with McWilliams''s money want to travel special in an old photograph- gallery like that for?
33947On a threshing- machine?
33947Remember him?
33947Sal- soda, is n''t it, Dad?
33947Scaylor?
33947She''s full of soda, is n''t she, father?
33947Son,he gasped to the astonished boy,"do n''t you know me?"
33947Stands for Cyclone, I reckon; do n''t it?
33947Still you took her?
33947Stranger,said he, gently,"could you oblige me with a chew of tobacco?"
33947Struck? 33947 The 168 will suit me, Neighbor; any old tub-- eh, Foley?"
33947There they come-- there''s the runaway train-- do you hear it? 33947 They told us to deliver the goods, did n''t they?"
33947Was any one of those cowards that jumped on me in the dark looking for work on this engine?
33947Well, Peaters,asked Ferguson, of the second man, coolly,"do you want to stay?"
33947Well, what is it?
33947Well, what''s his name?
33947Well, why should n''t they? 33947 What actual grievance have the boys?"
33947What are you doing switching coal here on the main line?
33947What are you going to do?
33947What can you do?
33947What did he ever do to you and your mother?
33947What did you say your name was?
33947What do I say?
33947What do you know about running an engine?
33947What do you make of him, Reed?
33947What do you make of him?
33947What do you mean, you red- headed lubber?
33947What do you mean? 33947 What do you mean?"
33947What do you think of the track, Foley?
33947What do you want?
33947What do you want?
33947What does it mean? 33947 What have you done?"
33947What is it, Barney? 33947 What is it?"
33947What shall I say?
33947What the deuce have you bit into?
33947What''s his first name, Dad, and where does he live?
33947What''s his name?
33947What''s that coming in from the junction, Bailey?
33947What''s that?
33947What''s that?
33947What''s the matter with the dispatcher? 33947 What''s the matter?"
33947What''s the matter?
33947What''s the reason Hamilton and McNeal ca n''t hit it off, Foley?
33947What''s the row-- what''s all this screeching about, conductor?
33947What''s your full name?
33947What''s your mother''s name, son? 33947 What''s your name?"
33947When did you quit the Philadelphia and Reading?
33947When must it be in Denver?
33947When will the car be ready?
33947Where are they? 33947 Where are they?"
33947Where are you from?
33947Where are your section men?
33947Where did you get burned that way?
33947Where do they meet?
33947Where does your mother live?
33947Where does yours go, Dad?
33947Where is he?
33947Where''s McNeal?
33947Where''s McWilliams?
33947Which way? 33947 Who sent you in here?"
33947Who''s marked up to fire for you, Bartholomew?
33947Who''s pulling Second Seventy- Seven?
33947Who''s with you?
33947Whose engine is it?
33947Whose job did I take?
33947Why did n''t he jump?
33947Why did n''t you stay there?
33947Why did n''t you?
33947Why? 33947 Why?"
33947Would I? 33947 Would I?
33947Would n''t be any show to get on an engine, would there?
33947Would you go out?
33947Would you object, Bartholomew,I suggested, gently,"to a train- master for fireman?"
33947You do n''t mean you''d try it?
33947You going to give her to the kid?
33947You know the old man''s stubborn as a dun mule, ai n''t he? 33947 You''re not going to tackle that bridge, are you?"
33947You''re running the 313, I believe?
33947***** Is he alive?
339476?"
33947A wreck?"
33947And if he did come, what on earth could stop the runaway train now?
33947And when they talk of speed-- what can I think of but her?
33947Are you McWilliams?"
33947Are you clear there?"
33947But red signals now-- to stop_ her_--to pull her flat on her haunches like a bronco?
33947But the wind; did you ever see such a blow?"
33947Cameron too?
33947Can you stand it to double back to- night?"
33947Could he make it?
33947Could they hold it to the bottom?
33947Dad, want to lie down?
33947Dad,"cried Reynolds, all in a fright,"what''ll I do?
33947Did he, maybe, think in that flash of Neeta and of whom she needed most-- of a young and a stalwart protector better than an old and a failing one?
33947Did n''t you ever hear that?
33947Did n''t you know that five big banks there closed their doors yesterday?
33947Did n''t you, Dad?
33947Did you ever buck snow with a rotary, Mr. Reed?
33947Do you want to get off?
33947Do you-- that is, have you heretofore supposed that a railroad belongs to the stockholders?
33947Does it seem strange?
33947Eh, Dad?"
33947For instance,"asked Callahan, in his tired way,"what''s the matter with Bucks?"
33947Have you ever felt the wind?
33947He promised to deliver the train to our division on time the next evening, and he asked,"Can you get it through to Denver?"
33947Hm?"
33947How long ago?
33947How many of those sixty- thousand- pound cars can you take over Beverly Hill with your Sky- Scraper?"
33947How much?
33947How to do it-- and exactly how to do it?
33947How''ll you run them?
33947How, for instance, the mysterious car was ever started from Chicago on such a delirious schedule, how many men in the service know that even yet?
33947How?"
33947I suppose you men represent your grievance committee?"
33947In twenty minutes from the time Bucks took the key the two trains would be together-- could he save the passenger?
33947Is it all right?"
33947Is n''t that better?
33947Murray, what do you say?"
33947R- u- n- n- i- n- g a- w- a- y?
33947Reed?"
33947Reed?"
33947Reed?"
33947Say, Neighbor, I''m to get her myself, ai n''t I?"
33947Say, she''s a bird, is n''t she?
33947See?"
33947See?"
33947She did n''t?
33947Take it?
33947Thursday?
33947To begin with, fifty passengers''lives-- that''s$ 5000 apiece, is n''t it?"
33947What are you going to do for Burns, Neighbor?"
33947What can I do?"
33947What did brains or pluck count for now with 55 dancing along like a school- girl right into the teeth of it?
33947What did they care for our efforts to screen a private distress which insisted on so paralyzing a time- card for 1026 miles?
33947What do you hear from Denver, Neighbor?"
33947What do you want?"
33947What does it mean?"
33947What have you, Georgie?"
33947What man escape from that cab now?
33947What of it?
33947What on earth do you mean?"
33947What time is it?"
33947What voice could live in that hell of noise?
33947What was the use of more?
33947What were you doing all alone in that buggy?
33947What you going to do about it?"
33947What''s her orders?"
33947What''s the matter with the man who tells the engineer what to do-- and just what to do?
33947What''s the matter with you?
33947What''s the matter with you?"
33947What''s the matter?"
33947What''s your name, son?"
33947What''s your name?"
33947What?
33947When are you going to give us a passenger run with the Sky- Scraper, Neighbor?"
33947When is 1 due?
33947Who but a man baked twenty years in an engine cab could stand the steam that poured on him where he lay?
33947Whose kid do you suppose it is?
33947Why, do you know him?"
33947Will there be two sections to- day?"
33947Will you help?"
33947Would Bucks never come?
33947Would n''t I?
33947Would n''t that kill you?"
33947You fellows-- are you any good at all on the West End?"
33947You would n''t beat honest working- men out of a job?"
33947[ Illustration:"SINCLAIR WAS WHISTLING SHARPLY FOR ORDERS"]"Coin?
33947and hung up to dry, were n''t you?"
33947echoed Peaters, looking ahead at the mass of flame leaping upward--"me stay?
26892About two streets away, eh George?
26892Ai n''t this Fuller''s train?
26892And run your ammunition right into the hands of the Yankees?
26892And what are you doing down here?
26892Anything wrong at the Jasons''?
26892Anything wrong?
26892Are we anywhere near Squire Peyton''s?
26892Are we to be murdered?
26892Are you going to give us up?
26892Are you making full speed?
26892Are you ready to go, boys?
26892Are you ready, then, to swim across the Chickamauga?
26892Are you there, Watson?
26892Are you tired, too, Macgreggor?
26892Be the powder there?
26892But what will the men pretend to be while on their way down to Marietta?
26892But you know where you''re going?
26892Ca n''t I go to sleep?
26892Ca n''t you make better use of it than this? 26892 Can Hare have told them, after all?"
26892Can I take my dog along with us, wherever we go?
26892Can either of you fellows talk like a darky?
26892Can he possibly have gotten wind of our expedition?
26892Can he suspect us?
26892Can it be cavalry?
26892Can the enemy have telegraphed from Big Shanty to Kingston by some circuitous route? 26892 Can we spend the night here, so that we can cross the river in the morning?"
26892Can you hear me? 26892 Can you hold out for another mile or so?"
26892Can you see any flag?
26892Can you swim?
26892Can you, George?
26892Change our characters?
26892Did you meet''The General''?
26892Do n''t you want me to go along with you?
26892Do you all come from the same part of Kentucky?
26892Do you hear that?
26892Do you know if he''s living at his place now?
26892Do you see what I want?
26892Do you think you''re strong enough to venture across?
26892Do you two tramp through the country together?
26892From Cincinnati? 26892 Gracious me,"cried Mrs. Hare;"did you bring that little fellow all the way from Kentucky?"
26892Have either of you got anything to say?
26892Have you fallen in love with the boy who sang, Laura?
26892Hear what? 26892 Heard anything from the passenger yet?"
26892How could I help it?
26892How did you find that out?
26892How long is this sort of thing to be kept up?
26892How many are there of them?
26892How many more trains are we to wait for?
26892How much powder have you got on board?
26892How much powder have you got on board?
26892How near were you to the Sorrel Horse Hotel?
26892How on earth did you know Waggie''s name?
26892How on earth did you turn up here in the guise of a Confederate officer?
26892How was that for a starter?
26892I say,repeated the latter,"is your home in Ohio?"
26892I suppose you think yourself pretty smart, do n''t you?
26892If I wo n''t?
26892Is he going too?
26892Is he here now?
26892Is n''t it strange?
26892Is that you, boys?
26892Is there anything I can do for you?
26892Is this Major Lightfoot?
26892Look here, pop,she cried,"do you expect me to cook for a hotel?
26892Mr. Andrews,he said, coming up close to the leader, and speaking in a whisper,"ca n''t I go to Marietta, too?"
26892Near what town?
26892No boy with a dog?
26892No one hurt, boys?
26892Nonsense,interrupted a voice,"do n''t you know night''s just the time which they will take for escape?"
26892Nothing wrong, I hope?
26892Run where?
26892Say Jake, wo n''t you ask us in to have something warm to drink?
26892Seen no suspicious characters?
26892Shall we cut a wire?
26892Shall we find an engine here?
26892Shall we go up to the house, and ask for something?
26892Shall we knock at the door?
26892Shall we make it?
26892Shall we stop on the bridge?
26892Shall we take up a rail?
26892So that''s the name of the river, eh?
26892So then you''re a Northerner, are you, my son?
26892So you all come from Kentucky?
26892So you are Northern spies, are you?
26892Some animal?
26892Some darky may live in it now, eh?
26892That yarn worked admirably, did n''t it?
26892The Generalwas soon motionless, whereupon Watson, peering out from the baggage car, called out:"Anything wrong?"
26892Then we dare not keep on to Chattanooga?
26892Then what are we to do?
26892Then you do n''t believe us?
26892There''s nothing like smallpox, eh?
26892They would n''t hang the boy, would they?
26892Wait till doomsday, why do n''t you say?
26892Well, Waggie,he said,"we make three wet looking tramps, do n''t we?
26892Well, since poor Mitchell is dead, how would you like to go as a volunteer aid on the staff of one of our generals?
26892Well, stranger,he said,"did I hear you say you were from Kentucky?
26892Well?
26892Wha''foah you fellows gwine come heh foah?
26892What are those circumstances?
26892What are you doing here, youngster?
26892What are you going to do?
26892What can have gotten into George''s head?
26892What d''ye mean,he shouted,"by trying to run me down?"
26892What did he mean by too young?
26892What did you lag behind at the station for, George?
26892What did you let''em get away from you for?
26892What do you mean?
26892What do you mean?
26892What do you mean?
26892What do you want him for?
26892What do you want to do?
26892What does this red flag mean?
26892What does_ what_ mean?
26892What for you gwyne to disturb an ole niggah at dis hour?
26892What have I done?
26892What is it?
26892What is the good?
26892What is this powder train of yours, anyway?
26892What part of the town did you live in?
26892What was the boy up to,thought Watson,"and what''s to become of him?"
26892What you folks want?
26892What you gemmen want dis time o''night wid poor Aunty Dinah?
26892What''s that?
26892What''s the matter now?
26892What''s the matter, Brown?
26892What''s the matter?
26892What''s the matter?
26892What''s the matter?
26892What''s the matter?
26892What''s the matter?
26892What''s the trouble?
26892What''s to become of Waggie?
26892What''s up, anyway?
26892When did the dog stray in?
26892Where are we?
26892Where did you come from before you took to begging?
26892Where did you come from?
26892Where did you get your dog from, lad?
26892Where did you learn the art, George?
26892Where on earth are you?
26892Where shall we go?
26892Who brought the letter?
26892Who is the tall chap with the beard who has charge of the train?
26892Who''s coming to see you this kind of night?
26892Whose cabin is this?
26892Why did I let Waggie go in the car?
26892Why did n''t Jason''s son tackle the fellows?
26892Why did n''t you tell us before?
26892Why did you take Fuller''s engine?
26892Why is Beauregard in such a hurry for ammunition?
26892Why is the road blocked up behind you?
26892Why should this old gentleman and I be enemies?
26892Why so?
26892Why was America ever discovered by that inquisitive, prying old Christopher Columbus?
26892Why, do n''t you know what that means? 26892 Why, since when have you started to keep dogs, parson?"
26892Will that freight never turn up?
26892Will we have time to burn the bridge?
26892Will you do as I tell you?
26892You and I are having an exciting time of it, are n''t we?
26892You do n''t want me to be married twenty times, do you, my boy?
26892You have n''t seen any one suspicious about here, have you, parson?
26892You have no home?
26892You were in one of the forward cars, were n''t you? 26892 You''ll admit,"said Lightfoot,"that I was too clever for you?"
26892*****"Where had George gone?"
26892An old man, with snow- white hair and beard, cried out:"Is that dog in the car part of your ammunition?"
26892And Waggie has some tricks, has n''t he?"
26892And are the rest of you willing?"
26892And what of George Knight?
26892And what were Watson, Jenks and Macgreggor thinking about his sudden exit from the scene?
26892And when it comes to defending ourselves, how can we put up any sort of barricade?"
26892And where were the missing man, boy, and dog?
26892Any one to see me?"
26892Are you willing to trust me blindly?"
26892As the engine of the latter passed slowly by"The General"Andrews shouted to the men in the cab:"Where''s the passenger train that is on the schedule?"
26892At last he said, trying to smile, yet only succeeding in looking hypocritical:"You ai n''t going to leave us this time of night, are you?
26892But I suppose you want to see more of the war?"
26892But how are we to steal a train?
26892But what of that?
26892But what was it that the sharp eyes of George detected?
26892But where''s George?
26892CHAPTER VII ENERGETIC PURSUIT Who were pursuing the Northern adventurers, and how did they learn the story of the stolen engine?
26892Cincinnati, Ohio?"
26892Could he keep his grasp on the animal?
26892Could you manage to get word to them without attracting suspicion?"
26892D''ye want to end up as food for fishes?"
26892Did you have a hard time reaching here?"
26892Did you notice on your way down that the railroad sidings between Chattanooga and Marietta were filled with freight cars?
26892Do n''t you hear our enemies?"
26892Do n''t you know your friend, Walter Jenks?"
26892Do you hear anything?"
26892Eh, George?"
26892George looked about him, when he had finished his supper, and asked himself why he could not have a week of such quiet, peaceful life as this?
26892Have you heard about the big engine steal?"
26892How did you both get so bare of clothes?"
26892How did you contrive to persuade the General?"
26892How long, some of his friends ask anxiously, will he be able to continue in so perilous an enterprise?
26892I know, as well as you, that there''s a big encampment at Big Shanty, but what of it?
26892I was born and bred in Kentucky, and there''s no state like it-- now is there?"
26892I wonder what''s the matter?
26892In your pocket, eh?"
26892Is n''t he with you?"
26892It would never do to leave this battery behind in the office; but how could he take it away without being caught in the act?
26892Or had this fellow heard of the excitement at the Peyton mansion?
26892Page say the Major was a Virginian?
26892President?"
26892Shall I let them in?"
26892Should the former try the experiment?
26892Some one after us again?"
26892Then coming to George, he said:"Look here, my boy, how are you on climbing?"
26892Then, turning to Watson, he asked:"How does my plan, as now arranged, impress you, Watson?"
26892Waggie, how are you, old man?"
26892Was he about to faint again?
26892Was he dead or was he still living, perhaps in some prison?
26892Was he to begin now?
26892Was it prudent to play the blind man once again?
26892Was the look that passed quickly across his face one of surprise or disappointment?
26892Was there an engine in pursuit?
26892Watson was about to reply when an attractive voice, with the soft accent so characteristic of the Southerners, called:"What is it, Ethiopia?
26892We are each secretly armed with pistols, are we not?
26892Were they merely running on in an aimless way?
26892What are fifty freight trains compared to powder for the troops?"
26892What do you think of it?"
26892What had been happening during the half hour which George had devoted to a nap?
26892What is the nearest town to the places you live in?"
26892What meant all the wood in the world without a good supply of water?
26892What part of it do you live in?"
26892What part of the county do you come from?"
26892What was camp life compared to the delight of such an adventure?
26892What were the feelings of Watson, and Jenks, and Macgreggor as they saw George leave the car, and the train rattled away?
26892What''s the use to me of money, if we all get drowned crossing over?"
26892What''s your county?"
26892When it had been disposed of, and the servants had left the dining- room, George said, almost under his breath:"Had n''t we better be off?
26892When the recital was over the President asked:"Do you know that poor General Mitchell has died from yellow fever?"
26892When they reached the gate of the little garden in front of the place George asked:"What story are we to tell?"
26892Where had the two Northerners heard that name?
26892Where was his father?
26892Where were Watson and George during this escapade?
26892Where''s Uncle Daniel?"
26892Where''s your dog?
26892Who is Andrews, and who is George Knight?
26892Why did I try to drag him across the river?"
26892Why do n''t you go serve your country, as other young men are doing, instead of idling around at a safe distance from the bullets?"
26892Why do n''t you join the army, and sing to the soldiers?"
26892Why had the farmer regarded him and his two companions with such a suspicious glance?
26892Why should I shield you?"
26892Why this sudden reticence on their part?
26892Would they remain free men, or would they fall into the hands of their pursuers, with all the consequences that such a capture implied?
26892You can sing negro songs, ca n''t you?"
26892You do n''t think I would be fool enough to see you fellows walking away without making a trial to get you back?"
26892exclaimed the person next to him, in a tone of boyish surprise;"how can you talk like that?
26892he muttered;"my young infant wants me to mind my own business, eh?"
26892laughed one of the passengers, a gouty- looking old gentleman;"do those fellows expect to beat an engine that way?"
34365A head- ender, eh?
34365All right, partner; what is it?
34365And do n''t you know a switchman ought n''t t''put his feet in flatboats? 34365 And where''s Special 326?"
34365Be no wreck? 34365 Blackburn,"he asked over the wire, impatiently,"what in God''s name is the matter?"
34365But a fellow would think it was to hear it; now he would, for a fact, would n''t he?
34365But what?
34365C- c- could I get another c- c- cup?
34365Can you dance?
34365Chris, what do they give you for tinkering up the ties?
34365Could I have a little c- c- condensed milk?
34365Dave, you''ve been running here a good while, have n''t you?
34365Did you hear that?
34365Do you sell tickets on c- coffee here?
34365Do you want my punch, Tommie?
34365Do you want to resign?
34365Done with me?
34365Ed,Hailey raised his voice at the foreman,"will you get those stay- bolts and chuck them into the baggage- car for me on Number Two?
34365Fifteen minutes?
34365Fifty cents a b- b- box?
34365Gentlemen, what does this mean? 34365 Good, ai n''t it?"
34365Got any money for breakfast?
34365Got your rights, ai n''t you?
34365Guess you''ll let him alone now, wo n''t you?
34365Hailey,Bucks spoke slowly,"I do n''t need to tell you what I think of it, do I?
34365Have to? 34365 Have you been in the British Army?"
34365Have you got your pistol?
34365He''s been firing for years, has n''t he? 34365 How can I take charge of conductors, talk to conductors?
34365How did your train get away from you?
34365How many years?
34365How much is that kind?
34365How much?
34365How the devil are we to get the mail with you blocking the track two hours?
34365How''s Dave?
34365How''s Tommie to- night?
34365Hurt, Mac?
34365I did n''t say so, did I? 34365 I do n''t want one, do n''t mind me; just fix these gentlemen out with some tobacco before they scalp me, will you?"
34365I mean, c- could a fellow buy a chance-- or get into a raffle-- on the h- h- h- hot tank?
34365I suppose he''s competent to run the train back, is n''t he?
34365I thought you wanted the mail?
34365If it is put through, how much of it do you propose to take yourself?
34365Is there anything,I faltered,"I can do?"
34365Jack, will you light up?
34365Just luck,he laughed,"was n''t it?"
34365Look here,he exclaimed,"did you ever hear of such a mix- up in your life?
34365Maje?
34365Maybe,he asked after a while,"did n''t you send the orders right and copy them wrong in the book, Blackburn?"
34365McGraw, eh? 34365 Me?
34365My train?
34365Not going back this morning-- why do n''t you wait for Four, to- night?
34365Not-- you''re not going down there to- night?
34365Off track?
34365Oh, that''s Shockley, is it?
34365Or will it get us altogether?
34365Pray God, do you want to mob me, Ben Nicholson?
34365Quit? 34365 Resign?"
34365Shockley?
34365Shockley?
34365Smallest you got?
34365Speak, ca n''t you? 34365 That''s worse than railroading, ai n''t it?"
34365The moon--"The_ moon_?
34365Then there is n''t to be any wreck?
34365Well, what''s the racket anyhow, Chris?
34365Were you a railroad superintendent at thirty?
34365What are you going to do with Bucks, Dave?
34365What are you looking for, Neighbor?
34365What business is it of yours how I jump a fellow?
34365What can I do?
34365What can I do?
34365What did they say?
34365What do I know about your word of honor?
34365What do I think of it?
34365What do you take?
34365What do you want me for?
34365What do you want?
34365What does Neale say?
34365What does he say, Bucks?
34365What for? 34365 What for?"
34365What have you done to meet it?
34365What is it, sir?
34365What is it?
34365What says the slave?
34365What the blazes do you mean by bringing in an engine in that condition?
34365What was his name?
34365What''ll it be?
34365What''s a quarter of an hour in a lifetime, Jackman, on the last oasis? 34365 What''s so?"
34365What''s the matter?
34365What''s the matter?
34365What''s the reason the air would n''t work?
34365What''s up here? 34365 What''s wrong?"
34365What''s your name?
34365What''s your name?
34365What''s your permit?
34365What''you doing here?
34365Where you going, Phil?
34365Where you going?
34365Where''d you get this?
34365Where''s your nerve?
34365Where''s your wreckers? 34365 Where?"
34365Who is that slim fellow?
34365Who the hell is he?
34365Who wants me?
34365Who?
34365Why do n''t you cool your hat before you jump a fellow like that?
34365Why do n''t you take hold switching with me and get three dollars?
34365Why not?
34365Why should I resign?
34365Why west of the Missouri?
34365Why? 34365 Why?"
34365Why?
34365Yard master here?
34365You call me a scab, do you?
34365You know better than that, do n''t you?
34365You know now, do n''t you?
34365You say you had your head out the cupola and saw the white signal?
34365You want me to drink this?
34365You would n''t turn us down on fifteen minutes this far from an oasis, would you, Bucks?
34365You''ll have to--"Have to?
34365_ What?_"Bob at-- Rat River-- gave Third Eighty a clearance without the Order 79.
34365_ What?_Barnes Tracy was trying to make himself heard:"The moon, damn it!
34365All the growth, all the prosperity-- what was it due to?
34365And why?
34365Are you crazy?"
34365Are you horsing me?"
34365Are you running an engine on this line and do n''t know the orders for those mail bags?
34365As he turned away, the engineer of Number Sixteen slapped Aloysius on the back:"Kid, why the blazes did n''t you thank him?"
34365Blackburn?"
34365Bucks?
34365But when did it rise?
34365Callahan?"
34365Can you do anything for the boys?"
34365Canoe?"
34365Chance?
34365Did n''t he just make you an engineer?
34365Did n''t he just say,''Run your train back behind us to Wind River''?"
34365Did you tell the president that?"
34365Do n''t you know some day you''ll get your foot stuck in a tongue or a guard?
34365Do n''t you say so, Martie?
34365Do you know what you have done?"
34365Do you think Bucks ever says a thing like that without meaning it?
34365Do you want it?"
34365Giddings told you?
34365Had he no relations back in the mountains?
34365Had the operator displayed red signals?
34365Hailey?"
34365He paid his dues; he made his passes; he sat in his place, what more could be required?
34365Hm?
34365Hm?
34365Hm?"
34365How can I discharge a conductor for stealing when he knows I''m a thief myself?
34365How does it happen we are cursed with such a crew of blooming idiots?
34365How was it possible for one train to have seen the headlight of another among the buttes of the Peace River country?
34365How''s your culverts, old boy?
34365I ca n''t kill him, can I?
34365I heard Callahan reply with a question:"What is the matter?"
34365I suppose you will admit there''s room for improvement in the running of this division?"
34365I was just a boy around the Wickiup then, but I remember the crowd; who could forget them?
34365I wonder if in this life it is n''t mostly in the face after all?
34365In the street, station, roundhouse, yards, stock pens?
34365Is anything wrong?"
34365Is everybody struck dumb?"
34365It was a clear yet cold,"You old tub, get out of our way, will you?"
34365It''s you that want him, Curtis Rucker, is it?
34365Just at present I''ve got to lean considerably on a trainmaster, do you want the job?"
34365Know him?"
34365Leave it for who?
34365Lind me a couple till pay- a- day, Cooney, will you?
34365Long as he''s behaving himself I believe in giving him a chance-- h''m?"
34365Martie, what do you say?"
34365No wives or daughters or fathers or mothers or friends or anything?
34365Nobody up in the Spider country?
34365Nothing more in, Duffy?"
34365Now will you be good?"
34365Past without a word of danger or of accident, or even that they had seen Number One and stopped in time to avoid a collision?
34365Pay?
34365See?
34365She admired the engineer, Nellie-- was there ever a doughnut girl who did n''t?
34365Sixty- five miles an_ hour_?
34365Steve swore mightily he was fit and could do the trick-- but what''s the word of a railroad man that drinks?
34365That''s English, ai n''t it?
34365The fireman backed the train to Rat River-- see?"
34365Then after a pause:"Could I get a cigar?"
34365Then the Rucker operator began again to talk about Jimmie Bradshaw, and"Who''s Bradshaw?"
34365Then where''ll you be, Dutch, with a string of flats rolling down on you, eh?"
34365There was an interval; then Callahan asked,"What''s the matter?"
34365There''s been trouble, has n''t there?
34365Through the_ Rockies_?
34365Tired?
34365Two passenger trains meet in hell and be no wreck?
34365Was there a baby run over?
34365Was there a child lost?
34365Was there a violently large- headed, coarse- featured, hangdog, clattering sort of a chap anywhere around?
34365We knew when we went into the superintendent''s office that somebody was to get fired; the only question was, who?--the train crew or the operator?
34365We''re forty minutes late, ai n''t we?"
34365Well, then, what''s a matter with you?
34365What are you doing?
34365What could I say?
34365What did it mean, Blackburn?
34365What do you mean?
34365What do you say?
34365What for?
34365What have you done?
34365What was he but a nightman, anyway?
34365What was the protection?
34365What''s the matter with you all?
34365What''s the matter, Giddings?"
34365What''s the matter?"
34365What''s your name?"
34365What''s your name?"
34365When will he die?
34365Where did you get that pneumatic process?"
34365Where did you meet Special 202?"
34365Where''d you get them shoes?"
34365Where''s the fall down?"
34365Where''s your relief?
34365Who says so?"
34365Who was it now that had shaken his stubborn conviction?
34365Why?"
34365Will you kill two trainloads of people without an effort to do anything?"
34365You are my partner, are n''t you?"
34365You did the firing?"
34365You''re not going to throw over this trainmaster offer?"
34365Your scabs came in and took our throttles on the Reading-- why should n''t we pull your latches out here?
34365_ Moon._""Who''s talking at Rat River?"
34365_ Nothing?_ Why do n''t you speak?
34365_ Nothing?_ Why do n''t you speak?
34365demanded Kate angrily;"is your coffee cold?"
34365returned the superintendent, sharply,"who are you?"
19007''And what do you want me to do, madam?'' 19007 ''Any mail for me, mother?''
19007''Any patent on the name?'' 19007 ''Ca n''t I do anything for you, Mr. Rokesby-- for Rachel''s sake?''
19007''Captain,''said Eli Jeffries, the second mate,''do you know what I''ve been thinkin''? 19007 ''Did he have on a false moustache, and a good deal of money and securities in a satchel, and everybody think at first he was a burglar?''
19007''Did he stand on one track, to get out of the way of another train, and get struck?'' 19007 ''Did n''t take notice that the face of your"passage"was granite or quartz rocks, hey?
19007''Do you think we could get down the other side?'' 19007 ''Father Burrows,''said I,''what do you think that is back there?''
19007''I would n''t like anything better; will you take me?'' 19007 ''If I can; what is it that you want me to do, madam?''
19007''Is she married?'' 19007 ''It would n''t be of much use to get an experienced man, would it-- the engine will burn a new fuel in a new way?''
19007''Jim,''said he, with tears in his eyes,''are you satisfied with me on the 12?'' 19007 ''Kind o''sudden, hey, Kid?''
19007''No_ ifs_ about it; will you go?'' 19007 ''Nor anyone else?''
19007''Send word to her that I am going away and want to see her, will you, Kid?'' 19007 ''She has refused him then?''
19007''Suppose I help the child, and you do n''t tell me the secret?'' 19007 ''That baby- faced boy says he wo n''t fire for anybody but you; what have you been putting into his head?''
19007''Was he a sailor?'' 19007 ''Was he laid up long?
19007''Was n''t he killed at the attack on Vicksburg?'' 19007 ''Well, I could fire for you, could n''t I?''
19007''Well, it''s time they was doing something; did he say when it was?'' 19007 ''What did you call me for?
19007''What in hell did he say?'' 19007 ''What is that, Joe?''
19007''What part of England?'' 19007 ''What''s the matter with you, Kid?''
19007''What''s wrong here?'' 19007 ''What?
19007''Where''s the gold?'' 19007 ''Who''s this boat named after?''
19007''Why? 19007 ''Wo n''t you wait until Monday?
19007''Yes, indeed; then you are Sanson?'' 19007 ''Yes, yes; you knowed him did n''t you?
19007''Yes; but how did you know that?'' 19007 ''You do n''t think there is land over there somewhere?''
19007''You would judge her alone, forgetting her mother?'' 19007 ''You?''
19007A kindly- faced old lady looked at me over her spectacles, and I asked:''Does Mrs. Julia Bradshaw live here?''
19007Ai n''t you got no gun?
19007And the other favor, Billy?
19007And what for pray?
19007And your father and mother, what of them, my friend?
19007Any one killed?
19007Anything queer about''em?
19007Are you certain as to the truth of this awful report?
19007Around the Horn, then?
19007At last I mustered up courage and asked:''How is Tamplin?'' 19007 Aw cum off, Hickey,"said Sullivan,"phat the divil does yez know av foightin''injuns?
19007But you will land me in''Frisco, wo n''t you? 19007 Corporal,"said the colonel,"what time did you receive this bulletin?"
19007D''ye know if you go in ye got to stay for the next two weeks?
19007Did you take care of my pack?
19007Do you know that dirty old pack contains more treasures than the mines of Africa?
19007Er-- what became of the young man that they-- er-- adopted?
19007Ever seen her?
19007God bless your dear eyes,said I,"where would we have all been now but for you?"
19007Good gracious,said I,"whatever brought you away out here, and had n''t you just as lief shoot a man as scare him to death?"
19007Gunderson, old man, how are you?
19007Has she been warned?
19007Have you any later news, corporal?
19007Have you ever made any inquiries about the mother, Gun?
19007He is in no great danger?
19007Hello, youngster, what''s your name?
19007Hogan? 19007 Hold your horses, sonny, what''s the difference between you and a jackass?"
19007How did you know it was my wife anyway?
19007How old is she?
19007I thought you had got over that a long time ago?
19007I turned and bolted toward a door, when Gardiner yelled:''Where are you going?''
19007Inspection- car,said I;"how did you get here?"
19007It was getting dusk and we were out of sight, so I sat down the pail and asked:''Do I get a kiss, this evening?''
19007Jimmie, what''s the swash we hear?
19007Let me see, what is your name?
19007Let''s see, where shall I begin?
19007Look here, you young rascal,I said sharply,"what are you doing in here?
19007M----? 19007 Mother, how can you forgive me?"
19007Of course--"Sure she spoke?
19007Oh, I see; married again?
19007Oh, what story? 19007 Say anything brash?"
19007She got up; came to our table and laid a card by my plate, and said,''I beg your pardon; but wo n''t you call on me? 19007 Story- teller,"said I;"what story?"
19007Sunk?
19007Suppose, Gun, that she showed up now; loved you more than ever for what you have done, and renewed her old proposal? 19007 Tell me about her?"
19007Thanks, captain, I know I must look all of that; but, let me see, forty- five, fifty- five, sixty- five, seventy-- seventy-- what year is this?
19007That so?
19007Then what do you mean by insulting us by speaking to such a man? 19007 There was a tremor in the Kid''s voice as he took my hand and said,''We are friends, Jim; ai n''t we?''
19007Wa''n''t it below the knee?
19007Was the amputation above or below the knee?
19007Washout?
19007Well, John Alexander, how in the name of thunder did you get away out here on the main stem, without orders?
19007Well, what are you going to do about it? 19007 Well, what is it, pray?
19007Well, where were you for ten minutes before that?
19007Well, who under the sun are you?
19007Well,continued the stranger,"he let me look for a minute or two, and then said:''Was it anything particular?''
19007Went up special to a weddin'', do n''t you see? 19007 What did she say?"
19007What did you tell her, Gun?
19007What does he want, Jack?
19007What for?
19007What kind of a man are you?
19007What leg story?
19007What now, Billy?
19007What ship?
19007What would you do, if she was to turn up?
19007What''s your name, youngster, and where is your home?
19007When can I get to Boston?
19007When we were out of earshot, she asked without looking up:''Well, old coolness, are you all right?''
19007Where did you get her?
19007Where does Dillon''s folks live now?
19007Where''s John?
19007Where?
19007Which foot?
19007Who do you think you are talking to?
19007Who is she, did you say?
19007Who''s been double- heading, Gun?
19007Why did you not bring it to me direct as you have heretofore done?
19007Why did you take this great interest in me?
19007Why, how''s that?
19007Why,I asked,"are you so short- handed that you are doubling and trebling?"
19007Why,''Lige, do n''t you know who the woman was that gave you brandy, held your head, and used her skirts for bandages when you were hurt?
19007You did?
19007You,said Hebron,"you are a despatcher; what the devil do you know about running a locomotive?"
19007Yours, Gun?
19007''Rope?''
19007''What are you doing freezing here when we can both be comfortable and warm in the house?
19007144"Are you not doing it just because I am a woman?"
1900721, which is an hour late from the south to- day; what are you going to do with her?
19007A young woman came in, looked at me hard for a moment, laid a package on my desk and asked,"Is this the Mr. Alexander who used to be an engineer?"
19007After sending five of the ten messages,"JL"stopped a second and said,"How do I come?"
19007And who the hell says they ai n''t?''
19007Are you ashamed or afraid to sleep with me?
19007Are you not doing it simply because I am a woman?"
19007As I went toward the engine, I met the watchman:"''Phy do n''t that fireman o''yourn sleep in the house or on the caboose floor such a night as this?
19007As we cleaned our feet at the door, I said:"Let me see, I did not hear your name?"
19007Bates?"
19007Bennett, the chief, was standing by the counter as I went in, and after a glance at me he said,"What''s up, kid?
19007Brink, the superintendent, turned to Webster and said,"I wonder why that night man does n''t come?"
19007Burke''s Irish blood was all up in his head by this time, and he said:"What do you mean by talking that way to me?
19007But as I said good morning to Borroughs, I noticed that he seemed rather glum, and I asked:"What''s the matter, Dad?
19007But do you think it is fair to discharge me for the same thing that you only gave Mr. Ferral fifteen days for?
19007But where was 21 all this time?
19007But where was the engineer?
19007But where were the engineer and fireman?
19007But where will you put it?''
19007By the bald- headed Abraham, who says Chuck Burrows ai n''t got no kin?
19007Can you tell me if he is on this wire?"
19007Cause?
19007Could she make them see her?
19007Daniels grew red with rage, and said:"Bates?
19007Daniels was a gruff sort of a fellow, and he snapped back at me,"What''s the matter with you?
19007Did Hogan succeed in his perilous mission?
19007Did I fire him?
19007Did n''t she kill Jim O''Neil with the reverse lever?
19007Did n''t you see him?"
19007Did n''t you work at Sweeping Water, Nebraska, some time ago, and did n''t you have some kind of a queer smash up there?"
19007Do you hear?"
19007Do you know what he is?"
19007Do you know?"
19007Do you?"
19007Do?
19007Does it not seem simple?
19007Ever go into one of the latter places?
19007Feeling bad this morning?"
19007Feeling like a sneak I followed him, and when we had reached his sitting- room, he sat down and said,"Kid, how much were you in on that deal?"
19007Fine introduction was n''t it?
19007From Washington,"Have you stopped the fleet?"
19007Good joke, was n''t it?
19007Great, is n''t it?
19007Had n''t she been burned the first trip?
19007Had n''t she lain down on the bed of the Arkansas river and wallowed on"Scar Face"Hopkins, and he not up yet?
19007Had n''t she run away time and again without cause or provocation?
19007He came over to my desk and gruffly asked,"What time is there a passenger train east to- night?"
19007He lit his pipe and asked:"Been whaling, or hunting the North Pole?"
19007He looked away from me, reached over and started the pump, and said:"Do n''t you know?"
19007He was as cool as an iceberg, and squarely facing Cartwright said,"You would n''t shoot an unarmed man would you, Jim?"
19007He was standing in the crowd and when he saw me put on the jumper he came over and said:"See here, Mr. Hebron, who is going to pull this train out?"
19007His office hours?
19007His office?
19007His pay?
19007His rank and title?
19007Hogg, do n''t you know me?''
19007How is it for a ride?"
19007How long did they live apart?
19007How old would you take me to be?"
19007How was he to send a warning?
19007How''s my friend, Sanson?''
19007I broke him and said,"Hello, Ned Kingsbury, where did you come from?"
19007I came on board out of curiosity to--''"''Reporter, hey?''
19007I drew in a long breath and said:"Who sh- sh- sh- all I s- s- s- ay y- y- y- ou are?"
19007I exclaimed;"why, how was that?"
19007I met Jack and a policeman, on my next trip, and he exclaimed:"''Why, ai n''t you gone out yet?''
19007I opened up on him and said,"Where have you been for the last fifteen minutes?"
19007I replied,"Have all the transports pulled out of the slip?"
19007I sat down and presently I heard the sounder say,"Who?"
19007I was afraid you would not let me stay with you, if you knew--''"''Why, you ai n''t killed any one, Kid?''
19007In a very few minutes Mr. J-- appeared at my office, blustering like a Kansas cyclone, and demanded to know why I had dared to treat him thus?
19007Is he as badly disfigured as I am?''
19007Jim Wainright put his hand up to his eyes for a minute, and his voice was a little husky as he said:"No, John, the Kid went away--""Went away?"
19007Jim put his finger on it, and then turning me around towards him, he said:"How came you by that?"
19007Joe Saunders was the chief, and when he came over he said,"What''s the trouble here, kid, this wire gone down?"
19007John, did you ever notice that you could_ feel_ the presence of some people; you knew they were near you without seeing them?
19007Just as soon as all is safe, you shall hear from me; ca n''t you trust me, Joe?''
19007Just then I heard an ominous click and in a second I was gazing down the barrel of a.45, and he said,"Now will you send it?
19007Leave him to roast alive?
19007Listen man, do n''t you hear it?
19007Long I look into their peaceful depths thinking of their story, and ask,"Dear Eyes, is it well with thee?"
19007Louis?"
19007My God, man, where''s Rachel?''
19007Need I say how proud I felt when I received a message from the Chief Despatcher telling me to report for duty that night?
19007No one but mothers have a right to expect to go to a heaven, and the only question that''ll be asked is,''Have you been a mother?''
19007Not a very pleasant one is it?"
19007Now, ca n''t you help me to fool that old villain of a Sanson, and put papa''s half of the money in a safe place?''
19007Now, will you go on the 17_ as ordered_?''
19007Occasionally some artist(?)
19007Old Chuck Burrows was a particular friend of mine-- where is he?"
19007On the way over to the Elephant he said,"Say, kid, did you think I''d shoot if you had n''t sent the message?"
19007Phat were ye here before ye''listed?
19007Phat were ye over in the auld sod?
19007Pleasant fix to be in, was n''t it?
19007Presently Bill looked up, and spying me, pointed to my stack of chips, and said,"Whose stack is that?"
19007Running, I suppose?"
19007Sassy, was n''t she?
19007Say, captain, how long will it take to get there, and how long before you start?"
19007See that low place where we went up?
19007See this peak?
19007Seen a ghost?
19007Snap for the aforesaid"head,"was n''t it?
19007Suppose some one else had come out and said he was the chief despatcher, was he going to let them in the office without some proof?
19007Surely you have n''t anything to say but what my friends can hear, have you?"
19007The conductor glanced at it for a moment and then said with a broad grin,"Say, kid, which foot did you use in copying this?"
19007The elder Miss Slade turned on me like a tigress, and said,"Mr. Bates, do you know who that man is?
19007The eyes do not change as once they did, or has age dimmed my sight and imagination?
19007The first thing the despatcher said was:"Where in h-- l have you been?"
19007The next trip I had to buy some underclothes: would"mother"tell me how to pick out pure wool?
19007The other day, my office boy brought me a card that read,"Mrs. Henry Adams, Washington, D. C.""Is she a book agent?"
19007The telegraph poles were thirty feet high; how was I to make a connection with only eight feet of wire and no climbers?
19007Then Hopkins brought in his little three- year- old daughter, who immediately climbed on my knee, captured my watch, and asked:"What oo name?"
19007There was a tear in his eye, as he turned to go away, so I stepped up to him and asked:"Any new wives wanted down your way, Elder?"
19007They did n''t like it worth a cent, but as one striker put it,"What''s the use of monkeyin''with them reg''lars?
19007They do n''t come right down and say,"Something''s the matter with me; what would you do for it?"
19007To tell a despatcher to wait a minute when he is sending a train order is to court sudden death, and Burke said,"Wait for what?"
19007Up went that window, and Mr. Barry''s face looking like a boiled beet appeared,"Smash that window will you?
19007Wainright, who is going to fire the Experiment?''
19007Was I running the"III"or was"Her Eyes?"
19007Was this to be another Little Big Horn, and were these brave men to be massacred like the gallant 7th Cavalry under Custer?
19007What a place to bring a woman?
19007What are you a- doin''?
19007What better was I than this woman?
19007What brings you the list you so anxiously scan of the dead and wounded?
19007What de ye say?
19007What did you sign there?"
19007What is it?
19007What is responsible for the news of victory?
19007What kind o''looking chap is he?"
19007What was I to do?
19007What was he to do?
19007What was it?
19007What would you do if I should die?''
19007What''s become of him?
19007What''s his name?"
19007What''s your name?
19007When I gets well again will you gimme back my job so I can learn some more about the tick tick?
19007When did you come out here?
19007When the day man came in, half dressed, he said,"Well, what the devil is the matter?"
19007Where be you goin'', anyway?''
19007Where had I heard that peculiar jerky sending before?
19007Where was it?
19007Where was the re- enforcement?
19007Who is Hogan?"
19007Who is she?
19007Who says I''m not?''
19007Why ca n''t you use some judgment in your runnin''?
19007Why did he go?
19007Why did n''t it come?
19007Will you do it?''
19007Wo n''t you help me?"
19007Wo n''t you please take me back?"
19007Wo n''t you take him?
19007Wot''s all them glass jars for wid the green water and the tin in?"
19007Would he take$ 2,100 out of Jim''s money, unbeknown to Jim, and pay the balance of the price of the farm over what"mother"had?
19007Would they stop for her?
19007Would you mind sending down for it?"
19007You remember the Black Prince robbery?''
19007Your father?''
19007[ Illustration:"Are you not doing it just because I am a woman?"]
19007[ Illustration:"He looked at me... then catching me by the collar...."] Did I lick him?
19007[ Illustration:"See here, who is going to pull this train?"]
19007do you know I was wishin''and waitin''for you?
19007how did you-- where did you hear that?"
19007inquired a Yankee sailor, sticking his nose and a clay pipe overboard;''might you be wantin''to come aboard?''
19007that kid?''
19007was I to be burned like a rat in a trap?
19007well if that is the case?"
19007wh- wh- at d- d- o y- y- ou m- mean b- b- y m- mocking me?
19007what''s that noise I hear?"
19007what''s wanted?"
19007where the devil have you been all the time?
19007why did n''t those northern regiments come?
19007why, man, fighting was meat and drink to him--''"''Was he a whaler?''
19007will you?
38969A nickel?
38969A raid?
38969A wreck, you say?
38969About last night''s affair I suppose?
38969Acts sort of scared, eh?
38969Ai n''t he a dangerous customer to let inside here?
38969Ai n''t it, though?
38969All ready?
38969All right, I guess my check is good for that balance, eh, constable?
38969All the same-- you see, do you?
38969And the convict portrait Ike Slump had?
38969And the safes and the money parrels?
38969And then?
38969And you''ve got a writ to execute it, have n''t you?
38969Are you sure it was thrown?
38969Are, eh?
38969Are?
38969As it is, what could I do with the proposition?
38969But the missing car,said Ralph thoughtfully;"what has become of it?"
38969But-- the telegraph instruments, the wires?
38969Ca n''t you rig her up and give me clear tracks for an hour, till I make investigations?
38969Can I? 38969 Can you dig out any lanterns?"
38969Can you fire?
38969Can you get me Preston?
38969Cash?
38969Did n''t that show that Glen Palmer was trying to get some word to me?
38969Did you ever meet him before?
38969Did you ever work up there?
38969Did you get all that, Fairbanks?
38969Did you see him strike me?
38969Did you see him?
38969Did you send a message?
38969Did you think I sent for you at twenty dollars a night for fun?
38969Did you wish to see me?
38969Did you?
38969Did?
38969Do n''t you want to see him?
38969Do you know what it is?
38969Do you know?
38969Do you live near here?
38969Do you want to earn a few dollars?
38969Do?
38969Doing some stunts, are n''t you?
38969Eh? 38969 Eh?
38969Eh?
38969Evidence of what?
38969Exactly, and the''Consists''?
38969For me, eh?
38969For what?
38969Found that out, did you?
38969Found the pay car, eh, Fairbanks?
38969Four thousand dollars?
38969Go ahead, what are you driving at?
38969Going to scare or bump the fellow ahead?
38969Going to the Junction?
38969Gone through, eh?
38969Gone, have they?
38969Have they found any trace of the missing pay car?
38969Have, eh?
38969He sent you, did he?
38969Hello, there,he hailed,"what''s the trouble here?"
38969Hey-- who says so?
38969Hey-- why not?
38969Hey?
38969Hollow of my hand-- see?
38969How about Mr. Adair, Ralph?
38969How about getting down to the bluff switch, Forgan?
38969How about yourself?
38969How are you going to raise the other three thousand dollars, though?
38969How can I do that?
38969How did you come here?
38969How did you come to pick it out, Glen?
38969How do you know that?
38969How do you know?
38969How is that arm of yours this morning?
38969How is that?
38969How soon can you reach him?
38969How soon do you want it?
38969I say, who put that there?
38969I suppose it tickled you nearly to death to see me kicked out of the restaurant back yonder, hey?
38969I suppose within an hour, two hours, you could get those melters so hot they are red all through?
38969I suppose you know what an O. S. report is?
38969I''m glad to see you, Zeph-- why, what''s the matter?
38969I''m out, ai n''t I?
38969If I vas''nt, vould I be Chonny- on- de- spot, Mishter Fry?
38969If you start at eleven o''clock you''ll be ready when that gang arrives?
38969In other words,said Ralph, trying hard to suppress his feelings,"you want to blackmail me?"
38969In what way?
38969Ipse dixit de profundis-- you refuse to pay this just claim?
38969Is it worth the price?
38969Is n''t that suspicious-- so many new men lately?
38969Is that so?
38969Is there a probability that I will be?
38969It is, so far as we are concerned, but shall I advise Fairbanks of the arrangements?
38969It''s somewhere in this direction, is n''t it?
38969Kingston, the contractor? 38969 Let me look at that last flimsy, will you?"
38969Let me lurk around a bit, will you?
38969Look here, Roberts,said the young railroader eagerly,"you think I understand my business?"
38969Many down there?
38969Mentions me?
38969My man,spoke Ralph rapidly, and moved to indignation and excitement almost beyond control,"are you sure of what you say?"
38969Near Eagle Pass, you mean?
38969No extras on hand?
38969No, but the feeders and cut- ins? 38969 None at all, only I wonder why?"
38969Not even--"The department store episode? 38969 Nothing open north?"
38969Officially, eh?
38969Oh, I overheard the subject of your conversation,said Adair--"about that missing boy, Glen Palmer, I suppose you mean?"
38969Oh, did he, indeed?
38969Oh, that''s it?
38969Oh, that?
38969Oh, wo n''t you?
38969Oh, you do?
38969Oh, you do?
38969On business, I suppose?
38969One of the same gang, eh? 38969 Our machine balked this morning when she took the turntable, did n''t she?"
38969Perfectly,assented Ralph--"you are afraid of some trickery on the part of our rivals?"
38969Red?
38969Representative, hey?
38969Right away?
38969Say, ca n''t you come down and see my layout?
38969Say, did you ever see so many at one time? 38969 Say, those fellows will never guess what they''ve missed till it''s too late, hey?"
38969Say, who are they, anyway?
38969Schickens?
38969See here, Grizzly,pleaded Mason in a spasmodic outburst of agitation;"what''s the deal?"
38969See here, Mason; you know those wires overhead, I''m thinking?
38969See here,he asked in a low tone,"you''re on Glidden''s side, of course?"
38969See what?
38969She''s only an old tub,submitted Roberts, though fondly;"but how do you like her, anyway?"
38969So?
38969Spies?
38969Suppose so?
38969Suppose your arm gave out at a critical moment of your run?
38969Suppose-- suppose we''re found out?
38969Sure the leave of absence is all right?
38969Sure, that''s me,answered the man--"what doing?"
38969Sure-- want to wire?
38969That so?
38969That so?
38969That you, Fairbanks?
38969That''s the way you treat an old friend after getting all you can out of him, is it?
38969Then I suppose you take possession?
38969Then it''s a race, is it?
38969Then you think you''re not being watched?
38969Think so?
38969Think so?
38969Thinking of starting a railroad of your own, Slump?
38969Thirteen blew out a cylinder head as we passed her--13, an unlucky number, see?
38969This is the old Eagle Pass cut off, is n''t it?
38969This is up: What kind of a man is your engineer, Bartley?
38969To what?
38969Too late for what?
38969Two hours?
38969Valuable?
38969Vill dere haf to be an appraisal, my tear friend?
38969We get out, is n''t that all? 38969 We?
38969Well that does n''t matter so long as you come out of it all right, eh, Glen?
38969Well, what do you want?
38969Well, what is it?
38969Well, what of it?
38969Well?
38969Well?
38969What are they, then?
38969What are we going to do?
38969What are you going to do?
38969What are you staring at, Fairbanks?
38969What boy?
38969What brought up the confab with the old man at the terminus, anyway?
38969What could it blow off from?
38969What did I tell you?
38969What did Zeph say about Mr. Adair, mother?
38969What did you come here for?
38969What did?
38969What do you mean by that?
38969What do you mean, Lacey?
38969What do you say about my plan?
38969What do you suppose I care about your knowing him?
38969What do you think of it?
38969What doing, mister?

38969What for?
38969What for?

38969What good will it do you to know?
38969What had the robbers done with the bank bullion?
38969What is it?
38969What is it?
38969What is it?
38969What is that?
38969What is that?
38969What kind of trouble?
38969What now?
38969What of Grizzly and that fellow with him?
38969What possible object could any one have in view in smashing up that machinery?
38969What stand-- was there a stand, then?
38969What was for me?
38969What was it?
38969What was that?
38969What was the motive for the collision?
38969What will I eat?
38969What''s hitting you so glum, Fairbanks?
38969What''s special to- night?
38969What''s that room for?
38969What''s the cross orders from our friends?
38969What''s the matter with you? 38969 What''s the matter with you?"
38969What''s the matter, Glen?
38969What''s the matter?
38969What''s the programme?
38969What''s this? 38969 What''s up, Fairbanks?"
38969What''s up-- something?
38969What''s your name?
38969What, Ralph?
38969What, then?
38969When will Evers be here?
38969When, where?
38969Where now?
38969Where''s she to run to?
38969Where''s the proof of it? 38969 Which one?"
38969Who are you?
38969Who did?
38969Who is he?
38969Who to, Ralph?
38969Who was that, mother?
38969Who''s there?
38969Who-- Glen Palmer?
38969Why did n''t you come up to the house?
38969Why do you say that?
38969Why not?
38969Why not?
38969Why not?
38969Why should it?
38969Why, I thought you was with a construction gang?
38969Will it ever be finished?
38969Will it have anything to do with knocking out Dorsett''s plans?
38969With your folks?
38969Wo n''t bid, eh?
38969Wo n''t, eh? 38969 Wonder what''s up with him?"
38969You are going up to the train dispatcher''s office?
38969You do n''t know the point of sending, then?
38969You do n''t mean--"Promotion? 38969 You do n''t need a special?"
38969You do n''t say so?
38969You have a telephone at your house?
38969You have seen him?
38969You know that web of old abandoned sidings and spurs branching out the other side of Maddox?
38969You mean Dorsett''s friends?
38969You mean seize on the factory, do n''t you?
38969You mean the men who stole the pay car?
38969You say the boy, too, is an expert operator?
38969You say the lawyer knows you?
38969You see those big tanks?
38969You think that, do you?
38969You''re Fairbanks?
38969You''re going to come across me once in a while, and I want a pleasant understanding, see? 38969 Young man,"he said,"did you ever study law?"
38969Your name Bartley?
38969Zeph,spoke Ralph in a quick whisper,"you know who it is?"
38969Adair?"
38969Adair?"
38969Adair?"
38969Adair?"
38969And we get out with good friends to take care of us, do n''t we?"
38969Bartlett?"
38969But de boxes, Mishter Fry-- vot''s in dose boxes?"
38969CHAPTER XI MAKING A SCHEDULE"You understand me, Fairbanks?"
38969CHAPTER XV CHASING A RUNAWAY"What''s the programme?"
38969CHAPTER XX A TRUSTY FRIEND"Understand, Fairbanks?"
38969CHAPTER XXXII CONCLUSION"What are you doing here, Fairbanks?"
38969Chief, where are you going to put Fairbanks next?"
38969Come, Cohen, how much for the lot?"
38969Dallas,''our old friend Zeph, eh?
38969Did some fine play send that chicken car down into the ditch, say?"
38969Did you hear that yell?"
38969Do n''t want to reform him, eh?
38969Do you know Ike Slump?"
38969Fairbanks?"
38969Fogg?"
38969Fogg?"
38969Fogg?"
38969Found out something?"
38969Fry?"
38969Glance over that, will you?"
38969Glidden?"
38969Glidden?"
38969Glidden?"
38969Glidden?"
38969Got your tools with you?"
38969HONEY BUNCH: HER FIRST DAYS ON THE FARM Can you remember how the farm looked the first time you visited it?
38969Had the car broken loose?
38969Have n''t you got any nerve?
38969He called out:"What is it, mother?"
38969He did not open the door, but stood at a window and called out:"What do you want?"
38969He glanced sharply at Bates with the words:"What''s up, kid?
38969Here, you, constable-- what''s your authority?"
38969How big the cows and horses were, and what a roomy place to play in the barn proved to be?
38969How is it?"
38969How''s this, Dorsett?"
38969I did n''t know what the other end was trying to give me: Look out for the packer?
38969I said there was a thousand apiece in this, did n''t I?"
38969I say, where did you get him?"
38969I''m after the real velvet now, and I''m going to get it, see?
38969If you did-- red hot, see?"
38969Is it in operation?"
38969Is that part of some villanious programme?
38969Is that right, operator?"
38969It will pay you-- see?"
38969Just wake up once after you''ve left the key, and get thinking you''ve forgotten something, and-- nightmare?
38969Know him pretty well?"
38969Little?"
38969Little?"
38969Looking for a job?"
38969Nearly all the trouble has been east of that point-- you understand?"
38969Pass them on one track, I suppose?"
38969Say, how much do you know and how many have you told about it?"
38969Say, you''ve managed to climb up some while I''ve been locked up, have n''t you?"
38969Say,"demanded the fellow with a stare of interest at Ralph,"what you going there for?
38969Seen a ghost?
38969So I bungled?
38969So much on account, see?
38969Theories?
38969There they are, badly shaken up but they look meaty, do n''t they?
38969Think it over, see?
38969Was n''t it a jumble?"
38969Well, what later?"
38969What do you say, Fairbanks?"
38969What does this all mean?"
38969What had been the writing complete, and what did it mean?
38969What is it you want to know, guv''nor?"
38969What is your report, Adair?"
38969What''s the ticket?"
38969What''s this mysterious monogram, cryptogram, or whatever it is, way down in the corner of the card?"
38969What''s up?"
38969When Glidden came on duty he merely smiled in his grim way, with the words to Ralph:"In harness again, eh?
38969Where do they ever come from?"
38969Where does Bartley come in?"
38969Where?
38969Who are you, and what do you want?"
38969Who are you?
38969Whom did those features suggest?
38969Why do n''t they send me 30?
38969Why had he flushed up and acted embarrassed when Ralph had asked him several pointed questions?
38969Why was he wandering all about the country with a helpless old man?
38969With a smirk he inquired:"See them?"
38969Would you like to know what became of the good friends you have made in this book?
38969Would you like to read other stories continuing their adventures and experiences, or other books quite as entertaining by the same author?
38969You are interested, are n''t you, mightily?
38969You''ll run her?"
38969You''re Fairbanks, eh?
38969asked Ralph,"the nickel?"
38969exclaimed the fireman, stepping up into the cab--"who are you?"
38969faker, pacer?"
38969he said breathlessly--"do you mean it?"
38969he shouted,"what have we struck?"
38969what have we run into, anyway?"
38969what''s coming?"
38969who is it?"
55624''But the brigands, monseigneur?'' 55624 ''Cause why?"
55624''Is that all?'' 55624 ''Well, did ye do it?''
55624''Why, what''s the matter, Dan?'' 55624 A bank?
55624A better way?
55624A snake? 55624 A torpedo?"
55624About what business?
55624Ai n''t there nobody with''em?
55624Allan West?
55624Always wanted to know me?
55624Am I hurt?
55624An''do ye call one o''clock in th''mornin''a little late?
55624An''got hurted?
55624An''how is the kid?
55624An''you did n''t git no order fer th''special to meet us here?
55624And if it''s straight, you''ll let me go?
55624And it is now?
55624And what happened during the strike?
55624And where are they?
55624And where did_ it_ come from?
55624And who may Nevins be?
55624And who''s this?
55624And whoever it was,added the trainmaster,"why does n''t he come and tell about it?
55624And you agreed to help? 55624 And you were going to fight about a little thing like that, Bill?"
55624And you''re going to walk?
55624And you''re sure th''boy''s comin''along all right?
55624And-- and you''re goin''t''leave me here?
55624Any orders?
55624Any orders?
55624Are n''t you going to read it?
55624Are they so bad as all that?
55624Are you as spry as all this? 55624 Are you first ninety- seven?"
55624Are you sure o''that?
55624Are you sure?
55624Banged you on th''nose, did they? 55624 But how can they ever catch them?"
55624But how did he get out?
55624But how did you come to do that?
55624But how does it come you were n''t killed?
55624But then-- why were n''t we smashed to kindling wood?
55624But what has he done?
55624But what was your driver doin''all that time?
55624Can you handle him yourself?
55624Can you tell me when the next train for Wadsworth leaves?
55624D''you think I do n''t know my business?
55624Danger?
55624Did Nevins say anything about this train when you came on duty?
55624Did n''t ye know that? 55624 Did ye see this?"
55624Did you find out who the stranger was?
55624Did you notice the signal?
55624Did you see anything?
55624Do ye know him?
55624Do ye think fer a minute,cried Jack, fiercely,"I''d take one penny o''that reward?
55624Do ye wonder your child''s forrerd when her father sets her sich an example? 55624 Do you know how much another track would cost?"
55624Do you know the number of that outside wire on the lower cross- arm?
55624Do you suppose there''s a man on this road who has n''t heard of your exploits? 55624 Do you think I''d better?"
55624Do you think it''s safe?
55624Does anything ever happen to it in the night?
55624Ever had any there?
55624Ever hear th''story of th''turtle an''th''rabbit?
55624Found any trace of Nolan?
55624Getting ready for the strike?
55624Going to study it?
55624Good- bye?
55624Got a hole in the fire- box?
55624Had a hard day?
55624Had n''t I better wire your father,he asked,"that you are here and will be home on Number Thirteen this evening?"
55624Has n''t first ninety- seven reached Byers?
55624Have ye been fightin''?
55624Have you asked him anything about it?
55624Have you ever read it?
55624He told ye that, did he? 55624 Hello,"said a voice just behind him,"what''s all this about?"
55624Hello; what''s this?
55624Hospital?
55624Hot biscuits?
55624Hot work, is n''t it?
55624How about the other one?
55624How are ye, Allan?
55624How are you?
55624How could that be?
55624How did you get mixed up with such a scoundrel?
55624How did you happen to come to Byers?
55624How do you know we are?
55624How does it come it took you nearly an hour to make eight miles?
55624How does it happen,he demanded at last,"that he wants t''learn t''be a operator?"
55624How else could it have happened?
55624How else? 55624 How far is it?"
55624How is everything on Twenty- one?
55624How many hosses kin we hev?
55624How much did you say there is?
55624How''d you know where I was?
55624How''d you manage about the operator?
55624How''m I a- goin''t''git th''coal int''th''fire- box if I do n''t open th''door?
55624Hurt any place else?
55624I can read, ca n''t I?
55624I thought you had a trick in the dispatchers''office?
55624I wonder if he thinks now I was trying to scare him?
55624I''ve a good notion to--"What was he doin''?
55624In the baggage- car?
55624Is he here?
55624Is he worse? 55624 Is he?"
55624Is it really you, Welsh?
55624Is it time to get up?
55624Is it?
55624Is n''t there a bank at Coalville?
55624Is n''t there some danger?
55624Is that th''kid that Jack Welsh took t''raise?
55624Is there anything in this, or is it just moonshine?
55624Is_ that_ all?
55624It sounds easy, does n''t it?
55624It was you who flagged Number Two last night?
55624It''s not in a bank?
55624It_ did_ show a clear track, did it?
55624Kin you ride?
55624Kin you stand up?
55624Lost your nerve, hey?
55624My card?
55624No trace o''them yet?
55624No; who is he?
55624No; why?
55624Not dead, eh?
55624Not fired, sir?
55624Nothing very bad, I hope?
55624Oh, then I may stay here?
55624Oh, you mean he''s been parolled?
55624One of you men hold these horses, will you?
55624Orders from whom?
55624Owe us? 55624 Read it?
55624Remarkable, ai n''t it, how much these green firemen know?
55624Rob?
55624Safe? 55624 Say, Jim,"said the engineer to the brakeman,"take that scoop away from that idiot, will ye?
55624Say,he asked, at last,"what''re you fellers up to, anyway?
55624See anything of''em?
55624See here, Welsh,he said,"you''re not drunk?"
55624Shall I send the message?
55624So far as you know?
55624So that''s it? 55624 So ye thought ye''d git away, did ye?"
55624So ye''ve got a new job?
55624So you''re Jim Anderson?
55624So you''re that kind, are you?
55624Somebody buried back there, an''you''re tryin''to dig him out?
55624Supper? 55624 Sure you kin stand it?"
55624Sure? 55624 That you, Allan?"
55624The old bishop, for instance, Bishop Welcome-- may I read you something?
55624Then what did they do with it?
55624Then you''d advise me to go?
55624Then you''ll be gone a long time?
55624There''s only one thing for me to do, is n''t there?
55624Think he''s very bad, doctor?
55624Think of it? 55624 Thought they had Jed Hopkins, did they?
55624To see me?
55624Trouble?
55624Understand?
55624Was it the company''s wagon?
55624Was that all he said?
55624We''d better have that down, had n''t we?
55624Well, an''how d''you like your new job?
55624Well, and where are the convicts?
55624Well, it''s about time for spring house- cleaning, you know-- do men ever have spring house- cleaning?
55624Well, then, jest as I jammed th''torpedy on th''track--"Was it_ you_ put it on the track?
55624Well, what of it? 55624 Well,"asked Jim, when Allan had finished,"what do you think of it?"
55624Well,began Jack,"jest as th''torpedy went off--""Which torpedo?"
55624Well,he sneered,"how d''ye like it?"
55624Well?
55624Were any of them hurt?
55624Were you scared?
55624Wha- what do you mean?
55624What are you going to do now?
55624What are you going to do?
55624What are you,he demanded,"a witch?
55624What d''ye want t''scare a feller like that fer?
55624What did he say?
55624What do I keer fer a silk dress?
55624What do you mean by elephant?
55624What do you mean, you young fool?
55624What does that mean?
55624What for?
55624What for?
55624What is it? 55624 What is it?"
55624What is it?
55624What is it?
55624What is it?
55624What is it?
55624What is?
55624What return do we get from the D. W.& I. for the use of our track?
55624What shall they do?
55624What th''blazes are ye in such a hurry about? 55624 What time did the special pass?"
55624What train''s that?
55624What was he doing?
55624What you stoppin''out here for, Bill? 55624 What you talkin''about, anyway?"
55624What''d they do to you?
55624What''d ye say th''other kid''s name is?
55624What''re you goin''to do with this?
55624What''s Nolan been doin''now?
55624What''s th''matter with him?
55624What''s th''matter?
55624What''s that you''ve got on th''stove? 55624 What''s the joke?"
55624What''s the kid done?
55624What''s the matter-- been out all night?
55624What''s the matter?
55624What''s the matter?
55624What''s the matter?
55624What''s the trouble?
55624What''s up, Bill?
55624What''s up?
55624When did you realize that something was wrong?
55624When must I quit?
55624When will you be ready to go to work?
55624When you found you had run over your time,he demanded,"how does it come you proceeded without a flag?"
55624When''ll you go?
55624Where have you been-- asleep?
55624Where what?
55624Where''d all this gore come from?
55624Where''re you stoppin''?
55624Where''s that kid?
55624Which job?
55624Who is he?
55624Who is it?
55624Who is this?
55624Who was he, Jack?
55624Who''d be sendin''me a registered letter?
55624Who''s going out?
55624Who''s going to help me get my lessons, I''d like to know?
55624Whose horse was it?
55624Whose is it?
55624Why ca n''t I go?
55624Why did n''t he give the alarm? 55624 Why do n''t they borrow the money and build their own track?"
55624Why do n''t they pay by check?
55624Why it_ did n''t_ happen?
55624Why not?
55624Why, hello, Dannie,he cried, with a sort of unholy glee which frightened Dan more than any threats could have done,"how are ye?"
55624Why, how do you know who my father is?
55624Why, what is it, Mary?
55624Why, what''s th''matter with her?
55624Will you?
55624Wo n''t you come in and see my mother?
55624Wo n''t you come in?
55624Would n''t you like to do a thing like that?
55624Would you really have reported him?
55624Ye do n''t happen t''have a bath- tub handy, do ye, Allan?
55624Ye do n''t know him, hey?
55624Yes, yer card; how did ye expect t''ride-- pay yer way?
55624Yes-- fifteen--"Can you cut it in?
55624Yes-- what''s the matter?
55624Yes; and what else?
55624Yes; what''s that mean?
55624Yes?
55624You ai n''t th''reg''lar night man here?
55624You did n''t hear any struggle?
55624You have n''t heard anything from Nolan?
55624You heard?
55624You infernal galoot,went on Jed, excitedly,"did you suppose fer a minute I''d take that money?
55624You knew that Penlow is going to resign on the first?
55624You mean he had a hold of some kind upon you?
55624You mean the telegraph?
55624You mean you think Nevins left the order on the hook and that you overlooked it?
55624You say th''boy''s all right?
55624You were left, then?
55624You''re sure there was no such order?
55624You-- you ai n''t goin''to hang me?
55624Your man?
55624_ Made_ you?
55624''Are you sick?''
55624''How about th''freight?''
55624618?"
55624Above all, what did they intend to do with him?
55624Ai n''t you afraid your mamma''s worryin''about you?"
55624Ai n''t you glad?"
55624All ready?"
55624An''was ye fool enough t''set there with your mouth open an''gulp it all down?
55624And where did the torpedo come from?
55624And yet, how was he to tell when he had reached the spot to which he had been lowered?
55624Besides, what can he tell?"
55624Break it?"
55624But are n''t_ you_ hurt?
55624But how about the people in the special?"
55624But how did ye happen t''git home so early?"
55624But why?
55624CHAPTER XX WHAT DELAYED EXTRA WEST"Well, how''re ye goin''t''like it?"
55624Could it, indeed, be Nolan?
55624Did it drop from heaven at precisely the right instant?
55624Did it just happen to be there?
55624Did n''t I send ye word by Dan Breen that I''d be a little late?"
55624Did they git him, too?"
55624Do n''t you see it?"
55624Do n''t you?"
55624Do ye see that wire up there-- th''outside wire on th''lowest cross- arm?"
55624Do you jest wave your wand an''make things happen?"
55624Do you know it?"
55624Do you know what it is?"
55624Do you know who th''pore feller is?"
55624Do you suppose he will let us?"
55624Have you got an instrument?"
55624How could he make the engineer see him through that driving snow?
55624How do you like it?"
55624How had they come here?
55624How had they come to forgive him the one offence which criminals never forgive?
55624How had they found him?
55624How is th''boy?"
55624How much do I owe you?"
55624How was he to know?
55624How was the boy to flag the train?
55624How''d he git his ribs broke?"
55624I knew it would be here in a few minutes, and as I had no order for it--""You''re sure there_ was_ no order for it?"
55624I wonder where that fool Charlie''s gone?"
55624If she had been a vision in her gray travelling- suit, what was she now, clad, as it seemed to him, in a sparkling cloud of purest white?
55624Is it very far?"
55624Is my supper ready?"
55624Is n''t there an extra west about due here?"
55624Is there a hospital at Coalville?"
55624Look about the same, do n''t I?"
55624Mebbe you''ve heerd o''me?"
55624Might he not go past it?
55624Now how do you suppose he got here?"
55624Now, who was it?"
55624O''course you''ll stay t''supper?"
55624Ready?"
55624See?"
55624So you''re ready to report for duty, are you?"
55624Suppose they should look for him, and finding him gone, give him up for lost?
55624Th''only question is,"he added, with another glance at his gauge,"kin we git to Little Hocking?"
55624Th''question is, are they here yet?"
55624Think we''ll be to Athens by then?"
55624This is the station, is n''t it?"
55624Tryin''t''create a water famine?"
55624Understand?"
55624Was he hanging about the place for some sinister purpose?
55624Was he pardoned?"
55624Was he within call of his instrument?
55624What did you do with it?"
55624What do I care fer th''rules?
55624What had happened?
55624What makes you think it''s th''chest?"
55624What was it had turned aside their anger and persuaded them to admit again to their company a man who had been proved a traitor?
55624What was it you seen, Jim?
55624What was the trouble?
55624What was to keep the special from dashing itself to pieces against the freight?"
55624What would become of them if he''d lose his job?
55624What would they say if I did not go?''
55624What would they say to a bishop who was afraid?
55624What''d you think we''d steam on-- air?"
55624What''s th''use o''being honest, anyway, if that''s all they do to a dirty scoundrel like Dan Nolan?
55624What''s that I smell?"
55624What''s that book you''re hugging so lovingly?"
55624What''s that?"
55624What''s the matter?"
55624What''s yer name, sonny?"
55624Where do you live?
55624Where do you live?"
55624Where you going?"
55624Where''re they billed to?"
55624Where''s it from?"
55624Where''ve ye been, Jack Welsh?"
55624Who are you going to appoint in his place?"
55624Who else could it''a''been?"
55624Who gave the orders?"
55624Who knows the ways of Providence?''
55624Who was it?"
55624Who''s the best man in your gang?"
55624Who''s the night operator here now?"
55624Whose eye?"
55624Why ca n''t we rig up a line from your house to mine, and learn together?
55624Will he git well?"
55624Wo n''t you sit down here by me awhile?"
55624Would Jim hear?
55624Would he reach it in time?
55624Would y''like some?"
55624Ye did n''t happen t''know any of''em, did ye?"
55624Ye mane breakfast, do n''t ye?"
55624You do n''t remember Dan Maroney?
55624You know who he is, do n''t you?"
55624You say it went through his hand?"
55624[ Illustration:"SNATCHED UP THE FUSEE, AND FAIRLY HURLED HIMSELF DOWN THE TRACK"]"What''s all this?"
55624demanded the engineer, incredulously,"do you mean to say th''dispatcher did n''t cover us?"
55624he snorted, turning an irate face upon the unfortunate fireman,"did n''t you know enough t''see that th''tank was full afore we left Belpre?
33399About changing his mind? 33399 About the day?
33399Ah;--he lost his hold upon the hopeful alternative and made no sign--"nothing less?"
33399All right; give her this, will you? 33399 And get myself disliked?
33399And go away by ourselves with the spoils?
33399And she took your part and invited you to dinner, did she? 33399 And that it will go to certain charitable institutions, and so be lost, not only to you, but to the family?"
33399And yet it does n''t make you misanthropic? 33399 And you consented to do it, I presume?"
33399And you know that if the marriage fail by your act, you will lose this legacy?
33399And you told him no?
33399And you will give up all that you have had-- all that you could keep-- and go out into the world with him to take up life at its beginnings?
33399Are we really running along on the rails just like any well- behaved train? 33399 Are you sure it''s the President?"
33399Are you sure? 33399 Been having a tilt with Mr. Ticket- limits to begin the day with?"
33399Besides, it''s very comfortable in here; do n''t you think so?
33399But if you knew she did?
33399But what do you imagine?
33399But why? 33399 But you will not let him make you recant?"
33399Ca n''t have stop- overs?
33399Ca n''t we divide with them?
33399Ca n''t we escape it?
33399Ca n''t you reconsider and leave Denver to- morrow morning, as previously arranged? 33399 Ca n''t you see?
33399Ca n''t you? 33399 Can we get it repaired this side of Denver?"
33399Can you catch that train at Beaver Brook?
33399Can you? 33399 Comfortable?
33399Could you?
33399Did anyone show you''The Mule''when you were up here last year?
33399Did he?
33399Did n''t I say it?
33399Did n''t it strike you as being rather-- ah-- a girlish thing for you to do? 33399 Did n''t you see me when I got on?"
33399Did n''t you think we were all going to be killed?
33399Did you rest well after your spin on the engine last night?
33399Did you think I had deserted you?
33399Do we live or die?
33399Do you happen to know this gentleman?
33399Do you have to travel all the time?
33399Do you know the Vennors? 33399 Do you know them all by name?"
33399Do you know where he is now?
33399Do you mean that?
33399Do you mean-- would you trust me to take you on the engine to- night?
33399Do you often have such deliciously irresponsible people to convoy?
33399Do you think he did that?
33399Do you think so? 33399 Do you?
33399Do you? 33399 Do?
33399Does the compact mean that we are to have no secrets from each other?
33399Does your-- does the young man know it?
33399Draws the money- line sharp and clear, does he?
33399Find him a bit trying, do n''t you? 33399 For all concerned?
33399For instance?
33399For obvious reasons; are n''t we supposed to be as good as engaged?
33399Forgive you for daring to make me happy? 33399 Friends of ours?"
33399Go away? 33399 Goin''to put''em on here and go through the train in uniform?"
33399Going on through with your people, are you?
33399Good- morning, Mr. Frederick; how do you find yourself-- or are n''t you lost?
33399Grand, is n''t it? 33399 H- m; and left you behind?"
33399H- m; and, if I remember correctly, you are an employee of this line?
33399H- m; changed your plans rather suddenly, did n''t you?
33399Had a comfortably good time to- day?
33399Has he? 33399 Have you ever asked her?"
33399Have you had more than enough?
33399Have you read him in the original, Priscilla?
33399Have you seen him this morning?
33399Have you-- will your other engagements let you join us?
33399He did n''t? 33399 Hello, Fred; how are the invalids this morning?
33399Help you carry on a brazen flirtation with that poor, innocent girl? 33399 How can I?"
33399How could I know it?
33399How could you?
33399How did anyone ever get up there to paint it?
33399How did you like the supper at Carvalho?
33399How do you know?
33399How far is it over to those mountains?
33399How fast are we going now?
33399How is that? 33399 How is this?"
33399How long has it been since the railway companies began to put the convenience of their guests before the rights of their patrons, Mr. Brockway? 33399 How much did you really see, and how much did you take for granted?"
33399How poor?
33399How poor?
33399How should I know, when he did n''t tell me?
33399How would you like to go up to Silver Plume with Mr. Brockway''s party?
33399How''s that for a lightning change?
33399How?
33399I do n''t know why you should be?
33399I suppose nothing would ever induce you to forgive her for being rich?
33399I suppose you have been out here in a blizzard, have n''t you?
33399I suppose you''ve ridden on them many times?
33399I suppose your occupation keeps you away from home a great deal, does n''t it?
33399I? 33399 Is he a poor man?"
33399Is it so very dreadful?
33399Is n''t it life- like, though?
33399Is n''t that a very large promise?
33399Is that better?
33399Is there a dining- car on this train?
33399It is Golden-- you remember, do n''t you?
33399It''s a fine night; will you take a turn outside with me, while I smoke?
33399Knew what?
33399Knowing that my consent would be withheld?
33399May I go in and look at it?
33399Meaning that they lose in originality what they gain in sophistication?
33399Might it? 33399 No dinner, you say?
33399No; and it is grand beyond words, is n''t it? 33399 No?
33399No?
33399Not Mr. John Burton, of the Colorado& Utah?
33399Not if you knew she wanted you to?
33399Oh, Mr. Brockway; wo n''t this be a good chance to see if my trunk was put on the train with the others?
33399One of your betters? 33399 Ought n''t I to be jealous?"
33399Please wait till I get washed and dressed before you begin on me, wo n''t you?
33399Precisely; always busy; that is the whole history of civilized man in two words, is n''t it? 33399 Quite; and you?"
33399Say, Fred, is she goin''back?
33399Say; what time did you say that Clear Creek Canyon train leaves?
33399Shall we stop here?
33399Should I turn into a pillar of salt if I did?
33399Show me the''Old Man of the Mountain''when we come to it,she said;"of course, there_ is_ an''Old Man of the Mountain''?"
33399Sorry? 33399 Tell me what?"
33399That is very human, is n''t it? 33399 That''s rather hard on me, is n''t it?
33399The Burtons? 33399 Then there_ is_ something?
33399Then what do you mean?
33399Then you have answered it? 33399 Then you refuse me point blank?"
33399Think he will do it?
33399Think not?
33399Think so? 33399 Thirty days, did you say?"
33399To get him into trouble with the others? 33399 To quiz me?
33399To take the consequences of my impudence?
33399Under the weather this morning, Gertrude?
33399Wait? 33399 We stop here a little while, do n''t we?"
33399Well, Gertrude, did you enjoy your little diversion? 33399 Well, ca n''t you serve us a cold lunch?"
33399Well, then, if you are sure she does n''t misjudge you, what do you care for the opinion of the world at large?
33399Well, what are you going to do about it?
33399Well, what did he say for himself?
33399Well?
33399What President?
33399What are they going to do with our car while we''re gone?
33399What are you doing so far away from your territory, Fred?
33399What are you going to do with yourself to- day?
33399What can I do for you?
33399What difference will that make, so long as you know better?
33399What difference would that make? 33399 What do two people who are trying to be very young and foolish and irresponsible know about secrets?"
33399What do you call a crowd?
33399What do you think of Tourguénief, Cousin Chester?
33399What does that mean?
33399What is its name? 33399 What is that we are coming to, away out there?"
33399What is that, papa; no luncheon to- day?
33399What is there about him that we ought to know and do n''t?
33399What makes you think that?
33399What shall I do next?
33399What time do we reach Denver?
33399What time have you now?
33399What''s that about our tickets?
33399What''s up? 33399 When is it to be?"
33399Where are the others?
33399Where do we get dinner?
33399Where is Gertrude?
33399Who draws it? 33399 Who?
33399Why do n''t you tell him the truth?
33399Why does n''t he smoke his cigar?
33399Why must n''t I?
33399Why not?
33399Why not?
33399Why should you want to see her when there is nothing to be done, as you say?
33399Why?
33399Why?
33399Why?
33399Will you excuse me a minute, while I get off and speak to the agent?
33399Will you go to a hotel?
33399Will you help me if I do?
33399Will you let me be your cup- bearer-- always?
33399Will you take him a message from me, quickly?
33399Will you wear it to- morrow-- before all the others? 33399 Wo n''t you see Mr. Brockway to- night?"
33399Wo n''t you sit down and break bread with us? 33399 Would n''t I?
33399Would n''t that be assuming a great deal? 33399 Would nothing tempt you to go on?"
33399Would you mind telling me in so many words, just what you mean?
33399Yes, but----"But what?
33399Yes, much; but it''s very dreadful, is n''t it? 33399 Yes; do you know him?"
33399Yes; what are they?
33399You are not going to leave us at once, are you?
33399You are quite merciless, are n''t you? 33399 You are quite sure of that?"
33399You are quite sure you can reach Golden before the train gets there, are you?
33399You did n''t permit yourself to fall in love with her until you knew all about her circumstances and prospects, of course?
33399You have n''t? 33399 You know Denver pretty well, do n''t you?"
33399You know it, and yet you would deliberately throw yourself away on a fortune- hunting mechanic-- a man whom you have known only since yesterday? 33399 You mean it''s because I''m here?
33399You mean that I''ve been shirking; that I have n''t been properly reading my lines in the little comedy planned by my grandfather; is that it?
33399You refuse to be bullied, do n''t you? 33399 You sat up for Gertrude last night; did you say as much to her?"
33399You still think it will be better for you to tell him first? 33399 You think he will be very angry, then?"
33399You''ll not disappoint us, will you?
33399You? 33399 You?"
33399You?
33399And Brockway and Gertrude exchanged comforting glances-- as who should say,"What matters it now?"
33399And did the unhappy father contrive to spoil your_ tête- à- tête_?"
33399And if John should happen to balk a little----""Why, I''ll talk him over, of course; is that what you want?"
33399And yet you would consent to take service under me, after what has passed between us?
33399Are they going to demand it as a right?"
33399Are you afraid of the elderly gentleman with the calculating eye?"
33399Are you glad or sorry?
33399Are you good for a climb?"
33399Are you quite comfortable?"
33399Are you quite sure you know what you have done?"
33399Are you still quite comfortable?"
33399Ask Denver to repeat it to Beaver Brook, will you?"
33399Besides, she doubtless looks upon you as a fortune- hunter, and----""What?
33399Brockway?"
33399Burton?"
33399Burton?"
33399Burton?"
33399Burton?"
33399But I think I''d better go back; it''s getting late, is n''t it?"
33399But about Gertrude, and your little affair, which is no affair; what are you going to do about it?"
33399But about Jordan and the thirty- odd; how are you going to dodge the row?"
33399But about the telegram; you are not angry with me because I was desperate enough to answer it without having first shown it to you?"
33399But how did you manage to get Gertrude away from them all?"
33399But how the deuce is a fellow to make love to a girl when his grandfather has done it for him?"
33399But in that case, why had he proposed the trip, knowing that Brockway''s party would be on the train?
33399But where is your good husband?"
33399But_ l''homme propose, et la femme_----"Oh, Mr. Brockway;_ will_ you help me find my satchel?
33399Ca n''t we go out on the platform?"
33399Ca n''t you come along and visit with us in Salt Lake?"
33399Can it be done?"
33399Can you forgive me?"
33399Come, now, had n''t you better retract and go about your business?"
33399Could n''t you rake up the embers and fan them into a tiny bit of a blaze?
33399Did I ah-- understand you to tell me to go away, sir?
33399Did n''t he tell you?"
33399Did n''t you and Chester settle matters between you just before dinner?"
33399Did n''t you know he was in the Naught- fifty?"
33399Did n''t you promise some of them that this particular chariot should be at the tail- end of the trans- continental procession?"
33399Did n''t you read the contract before signing it?"
33399Did the cold- blooded gentleman with the overseeing eyes succeed in overtaking you?"
33399Did you happen to find out whether he is going all the way across with his party?"
33399Did you really go without your supper to take a constitutional with Miss Gertrude?
33399Did you think we ever should?"
33399Do n''t we live in a golden age when Jack is as good as his master, if he choose to make himself so?"
33399Do n''t you understand that nothing can ever come of it?"
33399Do people know about it?"
33399Do they get you up early in the morning to ask you foolish questions?"
33399Do you consider it fair to us, your patrons, to absent yourself for the ah-- better part of the morning?
33399Do you happen to know a Miss Gertrude Vennor?
33399Do you know them?"
33399Do you know why?"
33399Do you love someone else?"
33399Do you mean to ask Miss Vennor to be your wife?"
33399Do you say ah-- wait?
33399Do you see those two little yellow lights away out ahead?"
33399Do you still assert that we shall dine at our own table this evening?"
33399Do you still enjoy it?"
33399Do you think Mr. Burton had a telegram, too?"
33399Do you understand?"
33399Do you understand?"
33399Do you understand?"
33399Does the-- the young woman think as you do?"
33399Get you out bright and early?"
33399Had he gone on with his school- mistresses and ended by marrying one of them?
33399Has he spoken to you about it?"
33399Has this fellow but to crook his finger at you to make you turn your back upon everything that is decent and respectable?"
33399Have a cigar?"
33399Have n''t we made a compact?"
33399Have we doubled it yet?"
33399Have you actually got it repaired?"
33399Have you fully considered the probable consequences of your most singular infatuation?"
33399Have you seen him?"
33399Have you told John about my-- my lunacy?"
33399He will be very angry, wo n''t he?"
33399He''ll be pretty sure to send you a peremptory order to turn back from Forks Creek, wo n''t he?"
33399Hence it was only for form''s sake that she said,"How was I to know that you were only trying to humiliate me?"
33399How did it happen?"
33399How did you find out we were going?"
33399How do you expect to support a wife whose allowance of pin- money has probably exceeded your entire income?"
33399How does the cab compare with the sitting- room of a private car?"
33399How far did you go with them?"
33399How fast are we going now?"
33399How much or how little did he mean when he said he was happy to his finger- tips?
33399How should Fleetwell know that Gertrude would not care to spend the day in his company?
33399How was I to know that you were only trying to humiliate me?"
33399How will that do?"
33399How?"
33399I love him; do you understand what that means?"
33399I presume you wo n''t have time before noon?"
33399I suppose they never let any one ride on the night engines, do they?"
33399I suppose you did n''t know we were going on to- night, either, did you?
33399I suppose you have made them at a pinch, have n''t you?
33399I suppose you''ve heard the latest?"
33399I understand your objection; you are poor and proud-- and that''s as it should be; but tell me-- you are in love with Miss Vennor, are n''t you?
33399I wonder why?"
33399Is it a very bad break?"
33399Is it altogether impossible?
33399Is n''t it clear and pure?"
33399Is n''t it enough to wear the patience of a good- natured angel to frazzles?"
33399Is n''t it terribly dangerous?
33399Is that all?"
33399Is that it?"
33399Is that what you wanted me to say?"
33399Is there any probability that he has carried out his threat of leaving you behind?"
33399Is_ that_ all?"
33399It was awfully good of you to ask me, but----""But what?"
33399Lend me a pair of overalls, and a jumper, and a pair of pipe- tongs, and a hammer, and a few other things, will you?"
33399Maclure?"
33399May I count upon it?"
33399May we ride a little way with you?"
33399Of course, you are aware that the Tadmor is no longer the rear car in the train?"
33399Oh, why did n''t you make it impossible, while you were doing it?"
33399On your way back to Utah, are you?"
33399One o''your tourists broke a side- rod?"
33399Overton?
33399Passenger Agent, are you sure the baggage will be safe if we leave it with the porter?"
33399Reckon you could run a spell and talk to her at the same time?"
33399Shall I call her?"
33399Shall I wire ahead for a private table?"
33399Shall we?"
33399So she said,"When is what to be?"
33399Tell me why you would like to abolish the to- morrows-- or is it only the very next one that ever will be that you want to escape?"
33399Then I am to understand that our movements have nothing to do with your being here now?"
33399Then he said, quite temperately, she thought,"So it is the passenger agent, after all, is it?"
33399Then she arched her eyebrows at her husband and said,"I wonder if Fred is n''t the least little bit_ épris_ with Gertrude Vennor?"
33399Then what happened?"
33399Then with a touch of graver earnestness:"We are properly engaged now, are n''t we?"
33399Then you did n''t admire the President?"
33399Then, suddenly:"That is n''t a scenic fib, is it?"
33399This is Arriba; do you want to go back?"
33399Up early to see the scenery, are you?"
33399Vennor?"
33399We shall see you in the morning?"
33399What about?"
33399What do you think of an irresponsible young person who says such an unfilial thing as that?"
33399What does he mean by running us off up here on a wild- goose chase?"
33399What had become of Mr. Brockway since their"Mormon day"?
33399What has come over you in the last twenty- four hours that you should override the traditions and training of your whole life?
33399What have you been doing?"
33399What is it?"
33399What is the dinner station, and when do we reach it?"
33399What is the matter with you?
33399What is your programme for to- day?"
33399What must I do now?--watch the track?"
33399What particular form does his mania take this morning?"
33399What place is this we are coming to?"
33399What place is this?"
33399What was afoot that the President should be so anxious about the movements of the passenger agent?
33399What''s this place?
33399When anything happens, the men on the engine are almost always killed, are n''t they?"
33399When did it begin?"
33399When shall I come?"
33399Where are your friends?"
33399Where did you get on?"
33399Where ever have you been?"
33399Where have you been all afternoon?"
33399Where have you been all the time?"
33399Where have you been?
33399Why did you burst the pipe?"
33399Why?"
33399Will you agree to that?"
33399Will you climb down from the heights of the sublime and go and eat pie with me?"
33399Will you come?"
33399Will you do it?"
33399Will you do it?"
33399Will you go?"
33399Will you have to give up the Silver Plume trip and stay in Denver with him?"
33399Will you set the day?"
33399Will you wear it for me?"
33399Will you?"
33399Wonder if I can get the switchboard down fine enough to cut them out?
33399Would anything I could give you induce you to go about your business-- to disappear, so to speak?"
33399Would you like to go out for a breath of fresh air?"
33399You are quite willing to begin at the bottom with him, are you?"
33399You did n''t expect to find me here chatting with your wife, did you?"
33399You met my daughter, Gertrude, when we were out last summer, I believe?"
33399You say your friend is on the train?"
33399You wo n''t let it make any difference?"
33399You wo n''t let my money make any difference now, will you?"
33399_ Brockway_, to the porter:"All out, John?"
33399_ Chorus of the Personally Conducted:_"How long did you say we''d have?"
33399_ Do_ have a cup of coffee, wo n''t you?"
33399_ The Elderly Maiden Lady:_"Now, Mr. Brockway, are you_ sure_ it''ll be perfectly safe to leave Dicky with the porter?"
33399_ The Querist_, with his watch( which he has omitted to set back to mountain time) in his hand:"Eight o''clock?
33399and when do we arrive?"
33399and where are you going?"
33399are they going to fight about that?"
33399for yourself and the invalids, you mean?"
33399he began;"did you know Fred had changed his plans?"
33399in the night, you know, and with a comparative stranger?"
33399or did the despatcher tell you?"
33399said the President, with the King George Fourth smile and his coldest stare;"we caught you fairly in the midst of it, did n''t we, Mr. Brockway?
33399she queried;"who are they?"
33399that I''d better not go to him at once?"
33399the thrall or the baron?"
33399what is the matter?"
33399when I did n''t so much as know she was going?"
33399when you had forgotten to point out the real one?"
33399where did you come from?
28292A car of another road?
28292A good opportunity, that, Joe,said Ralph,"although the main prospect you mention is far in the future, is n''t it?"
28292A railroader?
28292A special, eh?
28292About the silk robbery?
28292After a hard double run?
28292After me, are you? 28292 Ah, so it''s you?"
28292All safe?
28292Am I to see him?
28292Am I?
28292And have arranged to stay away from town for several days?
28292And in what capacity will you appear on that grand occasion, Zeph?
28292And the pay car?
28292And what about the coat?
28292And why do you seek him?
28292And you had it all the time?
28292And you, Zeph?
28292Any one here?
28292Anything the matter especially?
28292Are we?
28292Are you going to leave the Junction permanently, Joe?
28292Are you going to set me free?
28292Are you going to stay in Stanley Junction, then?
28292Are you in the service of the railroad?
28292Business good, Joe?
28292But Mr. Drury has done that already, has he not?
28292But what are they doing in those trees?
28292But what of Earl Danvers?
28292But why all this mystery?
28292But you''re going to find out?
28292By whom?
28292Can I help you in any way?
28292Can we reach it without being seen by any one?
28292Can you signal for repeat?
28292Can you suggest anything, Fairbanks?
28292Confidentially?
28292Did he?
28292Did you? 28292 Do n''t I have to?"
28292Do n''t look much like the man who left a palace car to step into a locomotive at Stanley Junction, eh?
28292Do n''t need one-- you know how to run an engine, do n''t you?
28292Do you happen to remember anything of a wreck at the bridge at Wilmer about five years ago?
28292Do you know a Mr. Gasper Farrington?
28292Do you know me?
28292Do you know who it is?
28292Do you own any particular run, Jim?
28292Does that look like business?
28292Does that look like it?
28292Does that startle you?
28292Does the railroad want to take it away from me?
28292Eh, lad, what do you mean?
28292Eh? 28292 Eh?
28292Eh?
28292Eh?
28292Eight boys-- where did they come from?
28292Ever heard of Limpy Joe?
28292Ever taken a meal here?
28292For me? 28292 For the railroad?"
28292Found you, my friends, have I?
28292Give me a lift, will you? 28292 Give us a lift?"
28292Going into Dover?
28292Going to keep right on at your job?
28292Going to stop, are they?
28292Gondola?
28292Got the keys to the car ventilators?
28292He searched for the car, of course?
28292Hear that?
28292Hello,said Zeph, looking in among the bushes abruptly,"some one in there?
28292Hi, who''s that, where are you?
28292How can I help it?
28292How did he happen to come here?
28292How did it happen?
28292How did you know?
28292How do I do-- all right?
28292How do you come to be up in that attic? 28292 How do you know that?"
28292How is that, sir?
28292How is that?
28292How much?
28292How will it do?
28292How wrong?
28292How?
28292I ca n''t deny it very well, can I?
28292I ca n''t help you any-- why should you detain me?
28292I suppose a fellow is free to follow out his convictions, is n''t he?
28292I suppose you are hungry?
28292I wonder what there is in the package?
28292If anybody comes, what then?
28292If you wanted to borrow the rig, why did n''t you do so in a decent fashion?
28292In a way, yes,answered Ralph, and then, a sudden idea struck him, he added:"By the way, you are an old resident here, I suppose?"
28292In what way?
28292Indeed?
28292Indeed?
28292Indeed?
28292Indeed?
28292Interesting to you, is it?
28292Is he an enemy of yours?
28292Is he here?
28292Is it possible,said Ralph to himself,"that I have at last found a clew to the missing car Zeph Dallas and that car finder are so anxious to locate?"
28292Is it possible?
28292Is it some particular case, sir?
28292Is n''t it? 28292 Is n''t that just exactly the place that you want to reach?"
28292Is that so? 28292 Is that so?"
28292Is that so?
28292Is that true?
28292Is that your name?
28292Is your name Fairbanks?
28292Is your name Fairbanks?
28292It''s a strike, is it?
28292It''s fascinating, ai n''t it?
28292Jim Evans?
28292Know a good many people, do you?
28292Know what that means?
28292Limpy Joe-- who is he? 28292 Looking for Forgan?"
28292May I ask its meaning?
28292Mean that?
28292Mother,he asked,"do you know the man to whom you sold that old coat?"
28292Mr. Drury, you mean?
28292Mr. Fairbanks-- Ralph Fairbanks?
28292Name, please?
28292Nor Fairbanks?
28292Now then, what''s the trouble?
28292Now, what am I ever going to do with him?
28292Object?
28292Oh, brought your satchel, too, did you?
28292Oh, going digging for them?
28292Oh, me?
28292Oh, you want me? 28292 On a tramp, are you?"
28292Opening of the other line?
28292Quite an important commission,said Ralph,"but what will the train crew say about it?"
28292Regarding this railroad?
28292Right here?
28292Salary big, Zeph?
28292Say, Mister, you do n''t know where that car went to, do you?
28292Say,spoke the former to his companion,"what''s wrong?"
28292See here, young fellow, do you think it''s square cutting in on a regular man this way?
28292So, it''s you, is it-- you, again?
28292Some kind of a plot, eh, you and your friend?
28292Something new?
28292Steady job?
28292Suppose Ames tells me where to find the fellow who sent the package?
28292That so, lad?
28292That so? 28292 That so?"
28292That so?
28292That so?
28292That so?
28292The new railroad?
28292The papers?
28292Then it is all arranged?
28292Twenty thousand dollars?
28292Understand the code, do you?
28292Valuable freight aboard?
28292Want a partner here, Joe?
28292Want to see me, Fairbanks?
28292Was he away from home?
28292Was there something so valuable in it, then?
28292Was you here last night?
28292Waste my time? 28292 We are not exactly rich, but we are comfortably situated, eh?"
28292Well, Morris,said the former,"all ready, are you?
28292Well, fellows, I am glad to see you,said Ralph heartily,"but what brought you here?"
28292Well, what do you want?
28292What are we going to do about it?
28292What are you ever doing there? 28292 What are you getting at with all this talk, Ike?"
28292What are you going to do with Fairbanks?
28292What are you going to do with the farmer''s boy?
28292What are you leaving here for?
28292What brought you here?
28292What can have befallen him? 28292 What did he hide it there for?"
28292What did he say?
28292What did the boy say?
28292What do they want me to do-- engineer?
28292What do you hope to accomplish by persecuting me?
28292What do you know about the wreck?
28292What do you mean, mother?
28292What do you propose to do?
28292What do you propose to do?
28292What do you see?
28292What do you want to ride around on engines for?
28292What does this mean?
28292What for?
28292What for?
28292What for?
28292What for?
28292What for?
28292What is it then?
28292What is it, doctor?
28292What is that, Ralph?
28292What is that?
28292What is the object of all this?
28292What is the trouble?
28292What is this, I wonder?
28292What is your name?
28292What kind of a job?
28292What kind of property?
28292What man is that?
28292What of it? 28292 What ridiculous nonsense are you talking, Zeph?"
28292What shall I say, then?
28292What trains seem to suffer most?
28292What was he saying?
28292What was it, may I ask?
28292What was it?
28292What you getting at, lad?
28292What you going to do?
28292What you spoiling our fun for?
28292What you trespassing for?
28292What''s it going to be?
28292What''s that kind of a welcome for, eh?
28292What''s that, Fairbanks?
28292What''s that?
28292What''s that?
28292What''s that?
28292What''s that?
28292What''s the damage?
28292What''s the lawyer''s name, Zeph?
28292What''s the programme?
28292What''s the row?
28292What''s the trouble-- a wreck?
28292What''s the trouble?
28292What''s this in his hand?
28292What''s troubling you?
28292What, had you known them before?
28292What?
28292When was this?
28292When?
28292Where can he have disappeared to?
28292Where did you come from?
28292Where have they disappeared to?
28292Where is Stanley Junction?
28292Where is he?
28292Who are you?
28292Who are you?
28292Who by?
28292Who is nearly starved?
28292Who is there?
28292Who says so?
28292Who was that?
28292Who''s in charge here?
28292Who?
28292Whose message?
28292Why have you not asked some of your old comrades to help you?
28292Why not?
28292Why should I?
28292Why so?
28292Why, how are you interested in me?
28292Why, mother,he exclaimed,"where is the farmer boy?"
28292Why, what can this mean?
28292Why, what do you mean?
28292Why, what do you mean?
28292Why, what do you mean?
28292Why, what does all that layout mean?
28292Why, what is the matter, Zeph?
28292Why, what''s that kind of work got to do with railroading?
28292Why, you''ll soon be able to give me a better one, wo n''t you?
28292Why,he said,"then I am not to go on this trip?"
28292Will you make me stop at the tower to get you put off?
28292Will you sign the roll?
28292With Slump and Bemis?
28292With money-- on your promise? 28292 Wo n''t tell anything, eh?"
28292Wo n''t you explain this?
28292Wo n''t you have a cup or a glass, my lads?
28292Wo n''t you wait till I answer?
28292Wonder what? 28292 You are going to leave here, then?"
28292You are sure he did n''t find it later?
28292You came about your nephew, I presume? 28292 You did?"
28292You do n''t know what road it belonged to?
28292You do? 28292 You do?"
28292You got the run? 28292 You have n''t mentioned about my employing you to any one?"
28292You mean Limpy Joe?
28292You mean me?
28292You mean take you up into the woods in the wagon to- night?
28292You mean to- night?
28292You mean, will we undertake the job?
28292You missed a package that had been under the feed bags when you came to leave town?
28292You remember the day I kept your team for you?
28292You think they are going to move some of their plunder in the wagon?
28292You wo n''t have me arrested?
28292You wo n''t help us out, then?
28292You would give a good deal to find Gasper Farrington, would n''t you, now?
28292You''ll remember it and help me out if you can?
28292You''re a fireman, are n''t you?
28292You, lad?
28292Zeph,he said,"did you hear anything of a train robbery here the other night?"
28292Zeph? 28292 48 gets here first?
2829248?"
282929176?"
28292A prisoner?
28292And five years ago?
28292Bemis?
28292But it went somewhere, did n''t it?
28292But what has happened, anyhow?
28292CHAPTER IV AN OLD- TIME ENEMY"New engine, lad?"
28292CHAPTER XXX THE LOST DIAMONDS"Great news, eh?"
28292Ca n''t you think of any spot where they would be likely to hide?"
28292Can I make a safe descent?"
28292Can I make it before these fellows get away with their plunder?
28292Can I reach the rope holding the scow to the shore?"
28292Can you help me get a position in the roundhouse?"
28292Can you locate the spot, Fairbanks?"
28292Could he get free in time?
28292Did you learn what their especial interest was in the coat?"
28292Do you catch on?"
28292Do you know whose child that is?"
28292Do you really for one minute suppose I sympathize with those fellows?"
28292Do you remember when you and Slump were both wipers at the roundhouse?"
28292Do you see ahead there?"
28292Do you want to leave the railroad?
28292Does he run the place alone?"
28292Evans glared at the man who spoke, but recognizing a privileged character, stared down the row of loiterers and demanded:"Who''s got my run?"
28292Every point seems to tally somehow to what information the car finder gave me, do n''t you think so?
28292Fellows, how can we tell Woods?"
28292Fixed this up all alone out of odds and ends?
28292Forgan?"
28292Forgan?"
28292Get the old coat?
28292Going to stop?"
28292Got enough steam on to run the engine?"
28292Got him tied up?"
28292Got the plunder here, have you?"
28292Grant?"
28292Greenleaf?"
28292Greenleaf?"
28292Griscom is ready for the run; are you?
28292Griscom?"
28292Griscom?"
28292Griscom?"
28292Griscom?"
28292Have you a revolver?"
28292He yawned in the face of the speaker and drawled sleepily:"What are you waking a fellow up for?"
28292How did you get in there?
28292How is it, Griscom?"
28292How long have you been there?
28292How near are the people who sent you on my trail?"
28292I am in possession, and what am I going to do about it?"
28292In to report, Sam?
28292Is n''t it just famous?
28292Is that right, Fairbanks?"
28292It''s all right for me to speak out before your friend here?"
28292Just give me a word of direction when I need it, wo n''t you?"
28292Keep a close watch here for a few minutes, will you?"
28292Mother, where is the coat?"
28292Now, this is on the dead quiet, Fairbanks?"
28292Now, young fellow, who are you?"
28292Ralph, this is worth looking up, do n''t you think so?"
28292Ready?"
28292Safe hiding place, eh?"
28292Say, where are you bound for anyway, Ralph?"
28292See here, Fairbanks, have you lost your wits?
28292See that old shed yonder?"
28292See?
28292Slump?
28292Soon a man appeared on the cab step, looked Ralph over coolly, and observed:"Tired of waiting for me, kid?"
28292Then why did n''t you wake me up?
28292They are wanted for that attempted treasure- train robbery, are n''t they?"
28292Tools and wire in that bag?"
28292Trevor?"
28292Trevor?"
28292Trevor?"
28292What are you up to, anyway?"
28292What are you wiring him for?"
28292What can that have to do with this business?
28292What can we do?"
28292What did you bring me here for?"
28292What for funny man run away?"
28292What had I better do-- what can I do?"
28292What is the next station north?
28292What is your idea about these men?"
28292What''s the amazing interest in it all of a sudden?
28292What''s the matter with our holding the boy till they come?"
28292What''s the trouble ahead, Fairbanks?"
28292What''s this?"
28292What''s your plan, Fairbanks?"
28292What-- er-- for?"
28292Where is the train?"
28292Who of you will join me in trying to overpower him?"
28292Why, whose wagon is that in front of the house?"
28292Will you help us run down the thieves?"
28292Will you try us as boarders for a week or two, Ralph?"
28292Working on the case, Fairbanks?"
28292Would you know them again?"
28292Would you like to come to Stanley Junction with me and have a lawyer look into the matter for you?"
28292Would you like to know what became of the good friends you have made in this book?
28292Would you like to read other stories continuing their adventures and experiences, or other books quite as entertaining by the same author?
28292You know Woods, the dry goods man at the Junction?"
28292You know where Trafton is?"
28292You remember the first day that you saw me?"
28292You will have a great story to tell the railroad folks, eh?
28292You''ll want to tell Griscom, wo n''t you?
28292asked Limpy Joe,"full dinner or a lunch?"
28292bawled the engineer suddenly to a fellow who appeared near the cab side,"what you doing there?"
28292he yelled,"who is this?"
28292the thieves?
28292two boys?
28292waste my time?"
28292what does that mean?"
28292what''s this?"
28292you do?"
33634''Tis another streak of cruel hard luck, of bitter, cruel hard luck I''ve had this day, but am I down and out for the likes of that?
33634''Tis not the first time I''ve been fired, and did I not read that there''s MacMurtrey begging for men up at The Gap? 33634 A funeral procession?"
33634A_ steady_ job, is it?
33634Ah, Regan,she said, and her voice caught a little,"sure,''twould be the end of Martin, do n''t you see?
33634Ai n''t it? 33634 Ai n''t you-- glad?"
33634An''fwhat av ut?
33634And do n''t the ten years I''ve put in here count for anything?
33634And what then?
33634And who but me lays the pay envelopes on your lap without so much as tearing''em to count the insides of''em? 33634 And why not?"
33634Anything I can do-- Nulty?
33634Anything good doing?
33634Are they intelligent,inquired Coussirat in a velvet voice,"same as the billboards say?"
33634Beezer,said he,"I did n''t say all horse doctors would n''t make jockeys-- what?
33634Blame?
33634But I guess,said Regan to himself, as he watched them go,"I guess mabbe I''ll be looking for that job on the Penn after all-- h''m?"
33634But-- but what''s he doing at Cassil''s Siding? 33634 By the way, Tommy,"said the super,"how''s Maguire getting along?"
33634Charlie-- what are you going to do?
33634Clerk, eh? 33634 Come from New York, do n''t you?"
33634D''ye mean that?
33634D''ye mean to say that-- that--Regan choked a little--"that I''m responsible for that brick- topped, monkey- faced kid?"
33634D''ye think I''m looking for glory and a wreath of immortelles?
33634Did I not say,said Regan,"that the only decent thing old John would ever do would be to die?
33634Did I?
33634Did n''t I tell you I did n''t read your damned letter? 33634 Do n''t it?"
33634Do you know what you are saying, Tommy?
33634Do you want it?
33634Eat?
33634Eh!--what do you mean?
33634Eh?
33634Feel that way, do you? 33634 Flannagan?"
33634Fwhat engine is ut?
33634Fwhat''s thot?
33634Give me a job, wo n''t you?
33634Gone delirious, or mad, or----"What''s the matter?
33634Got along far enough to take a station key somewhere?
33634Got what? 33634 H''m?"
33634H''m?
33634Had any word from those Westinghouse fittings yet? 33634 Have n''t I just told you?"
33634Have you been drinking, Maguire?
33634He is n''t blind in the other, is he?
33634He''s got to work for a living, I suppose-- eh?
33634Him be sick-- yes?
33634How about construction work with McCann?
33634How about me, then? 33634 How do you mean you''ve known it for a long time?"
33634How long are we stalled here for-- the rest of the night?
33634How long we got here? 33634 How many men does it affect?"
33634How much a week, Tommy,he inquired,"is thirty dollars a month, with about a third of the time out for sick spells?"
33634How old are you?
33634How''d I get a chance to learn?
33634How''d he know-- what? 33634 How''d you think she looks, Dan?"
33634How''m I going to get strong?
33634How''s Dan take it in the cab, Billy?
33634How''s P. Walton to- night?
33634How''s a fellow to know what he''s cut out for, and what he can do best, when he starts in? 33634 How''s everything moving?"
33634How?
33634I ca n''t promise to kill off anybody to accommodate you, can I?
33634I did n''t open it-- or mabbe I''d have known, eh?
33634I guess it had-- I''d hate to think of his getting it so''s it would hurt any more than it had to, h''m?
33634I guess,observed Regan to himself, as he gazed at the uncommunicative door panels,"I guess mabbe the neighbors have been neighborly-- h''m?
33634I had to lie to him, did n''t I?
33634I suppose you''ve some such place as Angel Forks, for instance, in mind, Tommy?
33634I thought you did; and you thought you''d fool me by hanging around there, playing innocent, to walk home with me, eh?
33634I''m not hankering to break the Sixth Commandment-- know what that is?
33634I''m sorry to see yez are sick, Regan, an''I''m glad to see yez are better-- but did I not warn yez, Regan? 33634 I''m to blame-- ain''t I?
33634I?
33634It''s a hell of a chance, ai n''t it? 33634 It''s coming to you, ai n''t it?
33634It''s not likely I would n''t, is it? 33634 It''s the bucko with the overgrown name in the center that interests me-- who''s he?
33634Lead quarters-- eh?
33634Life''s a hell of a thing, ai n''t it, Smithers?
33634Mabbe''twould be the best thing-- h''m?
33634Mabbe,said Regan, chewing absently on his blackstrap; and then, as a sort of afterthought:"What kind of a job?"
33634Maria,said Sammy Durgan craftily, for this had worked before,"do I drink?"
33634Martin''s?
33634Martin, eh?
33634Martin, for God''s sake, Martin,gasped the engineer,"what''s wrong with you?"
33634Me?
33634Me?
33634Monkeys-- that''s plain enough, ai n''t it? 33634 Monkeys?"
33634Mother and father down there still?
33634My God, Bull,he whispered,"do you know what that means?
33634No- o,admitted Toddles reluctantly;"but----""Then why not something where there''s no handicap hanging over you?"
33634No?
33634Not you, Bradley-- on the run?
33634Now, what the devil is she stopping there for?
33634Oh, a job is ut?
33634Oh, you woke up, have you?
33634Oh,said P. Walton,"talking of stringing him up-- is that it?"
33634Pete--he jerked out his words hoarsely--"next Tuesday''s pay day-- is my face good till then?"
33634Reddy,said he, with a growl that was n''t real,"there''s a vacancy in the engine crews-- h''m?"
33634Say, cull, what''s yer name?
33634Say,said Larry dubiously,"''taint going to be possible to board a train like that casual- like, is it?"
33634Say,said Regan heavily,"it''s queer, ai n''t it?
33634Say?
33634Shoot the material along, an''do n''t lave me bitin''me finger nails for the want av ut-- d''ye moind?
33634So they''re in town, are they-- and looking for fun?
33634So you heard that, eh?
33634Super hard on you this morning-- Hoogan?
33634Suppose Beezer does n''t want to go?
33634Sure now, is thot so?
33634Take it back? 33634 That''s fair warning, is n''t it?"
33634That''s what I''m gettin''now-- what I deserve,he flung back; then, halting in the doorway:"You understand, eh?
33634That''s what it is, ai n''t it? 33634 That''s what you wanted, was n''t it?
33634The cowboys, eh?
33634The key, for instance?
33634The old man''s gone, ai n''t he?
33634Then what in blazes d''ye send for me for?
33634Then, what''s the use of talking about wiping? 33634 Think so?"
33634To blame?
33634Tommy,he said in his big, quiet way, as his hand touched Regan''s sleeve,"tell me why you did n''t stop him, then, from going out to- night?"
33634Tommy,said he, as the master mechanic entered his office,"did you see Harvey?"
33634Touched you for a loan, eh?
33634Tough luck, eh? 33634 Understand that?
33634Was it worth it, Keene?
33634Was that what was in the letter?
33634We fix him goods by midnight,repeated Ivan Peloff, wagging his head; then, with a sudden scowl:"You not tell-- eh, Meester Walton?"
33634We''re two hours late, Dan-- h''m? 33634 Well, Tommy, what do you make of this?"
33634Well, how''s Jake to- day?
33634Well, then, what are you kicking about?
33634Well, what''s to be done?
33634Well, you know now, do n''t you?
33634Well,demanded Regan,"what do you say?
33634Well,inquired Carleton,"what do you make of the running orders, Tommy?"
33634Well?
33634Well?
33634Well?
33634Whash fare Loon Dam to Big Cloud?
33634Whash reason I ai n''t? 33634 What are you going to do?
33634What are you going to do?
33634What are you trying to do-- commit suicide?
33634What can you do?
33634What d''ye say-- h''m? 33634 What did he say?"
33634What did you say?
33634What do you expect?
33634What do you mean?
33634What fer? 33634 What in blazes would I let you take her for?"
33634What in the double- blanked, blankety- blanked blazes are you grinning at?
33634What is it, Martin?
33634What is it, Martin?
33634What is it?
33634What is this new toy we''ve bought?
33634What kind of changes, then?
33634What was Dan like in the cab to- night?
33634What was it you said you was doin''in de office?
33634What was the name?
33634What would I do with a dollar- ten, me with a wife and three kids?
33634What you sitting in for? 33634 What''ll you do, Dan-- afterwards?"
33634What''s de matter with you, Dook?
33634What''s that?
33634What''s the answer?
33634What''s the matter with Beezer?
33634What''s the matter with you, Beezer, h''m?
33634What''s the matter, Martin?
33634What''s the matter, Regan?
33634What''s the matter, Spence?
33634What''s the matter, Tommy?
33634What''s the matter?
33634What''s the meaning of this?
33634What''s this?
33634What''s to be done now?
33634What''s wrong here? 33634 What''s wrong with you?"
33634What''s wrong, Bob?
33634What''s wrong?
33634What''s wrong?
33634What''s yer lay out here, Dook?
33634What''s your name-- Toddles?
33634What-- what is it?
33634What?
33634When''ll he grow up?
33634Where are those bottles?
33634Where''s Dan, Billy? 33634 Where''s he live?"
33634Where''s the sick man?
33634Where''s the super?
33634Who do n''t?
33634Who put you up to this, Peloff?
33634Who said he would? 33634 Who''d teach me?"
33634Who''s H. Herrington Campbell when he''s at home?
33634Who''s Timmy O''Toole?
33634Who?
33634Why ai n''t I?
33634Why did n''t you say so? 33634 Why did you try to shield McGrew?"
33634Why do n''t you start me in sweeping up the round- house? 33634 Why would n''t I?"
33634Why, did n''t you know?
33634Wiping?
33634Wonder how the Kid''s making out?
33634Would you know him again if you saw him?
33634Yes?
33634You do n''t mean to say you''ve turned parson, Dook? 33634 You playing straight with me, Regan?"
33634You think it will be me?
33634You want to see me?
33634You''d try your tricks on me, would you?
33634You''re de inside man, see? 33634 _ What?_"demanded the super.
33634''Tis not much of a job, and beneath me at that, but have I not heard that them as are faithful in little will some day be handed much?
33634A man ai n''t likely to fall off the right of way again as long as he does that, is he?
33634Against the rules-- riding in the cab?
33634Ai n''t he about?"
33634All to the mustard again?
33634And I''m going to change your runs, unless you''ve got some good reason to give me why I should n''t?"
33634And now what''ll I do?
33634And say, Dook, is that cuss Nulty on the new run?"
33634And say, what are we going to do about it?
33634And sometimes it does n''t help much to realize that we never will understand this side of the Great Divide-- does it?
33634And take it easy on the grade, and mind your brakes going down-- understand?"
33634And the wife, Martin, poor boy, she''s-- she''s dead?"
33634And then, to the doctor:"Will he live?"
33634And why?
33634Been sick?
33634Beezer?"
33634Blamed queer-- h''m-- when you come to think of it?"
33634Bradley?
33634Bradley?
33634But do you think any one would believe that?
33634But what could I do?
33634Ca n''t any of you speak English?"
33634Call it a little thing-- but little things count a whole lot, too, sometimes in this old world of ours, do n''t they?
33634Campbell-- h''m?"
33634Can he have it?"
33634Cut it out, d''ye hear, or we''ll come in there an''do it for you in a way you wo n''t like-- have you gone nutty?"
33634D''ye hear-- ain''t it?
33634D''ye think I came down to ask you to take me back?
33634D''ye think I''d crawl to you or any man for a job?
33634Day dreams?
33634Did n''t I, eh, did n''t I?
33634Do I know an engine, every last nut and bolt in her, or do n''t I?"
33634Do n''t you know when you''re well off?
33634Do yez take ut back, Regan?"
33634Do you know him?"
33634Do you recall that Owsley, too, was finished for the Limited run?
33634Does he get better-- or does he not?
33634Durgan?"
33634Ever done any railroading?"
33634Fight?
33634Fire me, is ut?"
33634Firing, eh?
33634Funny, the egg part of it?
33634Funny?
33634Get that?
33634Got any idea of what Carleton''s said about it?"
33634Grade percentages and dry figures do n''t mean very much, do they?
33634H''m?
33634H''m?
33634H''m?"
33634H''m?"
33634H''m?"
33634H''m?"
33634Hard?
33634Has he got rights through-- or has n''t he?
33634Have I not told yez till me throat''s cracked doin''ut thot yez are not rayquired to lift the whole dombed right av way to put in a single measly tie?
33634Have a banana?"
33634Hawkeye?
33634He wants a good fitter, does he?
33634He''ll float around an''get de bulletins from you-- you''ll know ahead when there''s anything good comin''along, wo n''t you?"
33634He''s fired a gun de last time he''ll ever fire one-- see?"
33634Head- on-- instead of just tying up all the blamed traffic between here and the Elk-- what?
33634Heroes?
33634How much of a drop in that two miles?
33634How much, anyhow, did an engineer know about an engine?
33634How old?
33634How''d he get there-- h''m?
33634How''d he get there?"
33634How''d you make yer getaway-- you was in fer twenty spaces, was n''t you?"
33634How''s he to know, Mrs. Beezer, will you tell me that?"
33634How?
33634I ca n''t poison anybody off to make room for him-- can I?"
33634I did n''t offer you your choice, did I?
33634I guess I will, h''m?"
33634I guess you''re beginning to find that out too-- h''m?"
33634I thought me luck was out fer keeps to- day when Spud-- you saw Spud, did n''t you?"
33634I understand that-- but what happened here?
33634I was dead- heading him down from Gopher Butte, was n''t I?"
33634I wonder where he came from, and who he was?"
33634I wonder where he came from?"
33634I wonder who P. Walton is, and where he came from anyhow?"
33634I wonder, though, where he came from?"
33634I''ll have him pulling a throttle one of these days-- what?"
33634I''m a pretty good man yet, ai n''t I?
33634I''m out, am I?
33634I''ve been wondering about that patch Owsley had on his eye, and----""What''s that got to do with it?"
33634If I can keep him by me, Regan, d''ye mind?
33634If the nickel thrillers had failed him in his hour of need, he would have to depend on himself-- only what was he to do?
33634Inconsistent, to put it mildly, that a man like Bradley would have let go at all?
33634Inspect the shops?
33634Is it a coincidence to smile at?
33634Is this sacrilege-- to say it was n''t luck?
33634Is ut a hump loike a camel''s back yez are try in''to make in the rail?
33634It must be eleven minutes now since he had started from the Big Cloud yards, but how far had he come?
33634It''s hard to understand the running orders of the Great Trainmaster sometimes-- isn''t it?
33634It''s logical and reasonable enough to satisfy even the most hypercritical crank amongst us anti- superstitionists-- isn''t it?
33634It''s no business of mine, is it?"
33634It''s rough, damn rough, ai n''t it-- after forty years?"
33634Kill the brat?
33634Know him?"
33634Lace cap?
33634Lynchin'', eh?
33634MacCaffery?
33634Makes quite an amalgamation, does n''t it-- direct eastern tidewater connection-- what?
33634Mothers always dream of their boy''s future in that gentle, loving, all- conquering, up- in- the- clouds kind of a way, do n''t they?
33634Mrs. MacQuigan was right-- wasn''t she?
33634Neither of them said anything for a minute; then Regan, pacing up and down the room, spoke again:"It''s a clean sweep, eh?
33634Night after to- morrow, train passes Spider Cut eight- seventeen-- that right?"
33634Noodles''lips thinned suddenly-- it began to look promising already-- what was Regan up to?
33634Not a pretty sight?
33634Not a very big thing-- to pull the latch of the Directors''Special?
33634Not much of a chance?
33634Not much to choke strong men up and throw them into the"dead- center"?
33634Not the big thing to do?
33634Nothing to make a fuss over?
33634Now, will you get out-- or be thrown out?"
33634Of course, it was against the rules-- but rules are broken sometimes, are n''t they?
33634Oh, you, in your millions, who ride in trains by day and night, do you ever give a thought to the men into whose keeping you hand your lives?
33634Once in camp, and stationary on a siding, the cars would be connected up with little wooden gangways, you understand?
33634Only what was he to do?
33634Out here to die-- pleasant, what?
33634Owsley did n''t speak for a moment, he seemed to be puzzling something out; then, still in a puzzled way:"And then what about after the month?"
33634Owsley?
33634Owsley?
33634Queer, is n''t it-- the way things happen?
33634Reddy?
33634Regan glared fiercely-- then he spluttered:"Who in hell''s Christopher Hyslop Hoogan-- h''m?"
33634Say, Beezer, what''s the matter with you-- h''m?"
33634Say, Regan, ai n''t it-- ain''t it fine?
33634Say, d''ye know what this''ll mean to Owsley-- do you, eh, do you?
33634Say, was I to blame if some of them checks in the hurry did n''t get the first name I''d written on''em scratched out?
33634Say, you''ll give me a job, wo n''t you?"
33634Say-- ain''t it?"
33634Scared?
33634Soft coal?
33634Sounds queer, does n''t it?
33634Still looking for an emergency to rise to, eh?
33634Superstition is a queer thing, is n''t it?
33634Superstition?
33634Suppose you see what you can do?
33634That bunch back there''s getting so damned polite to me you''d think the words would melt in their mouths-- what?"
33634That was the approach of the Devil''s Slide-- on a westbound run, you understand?
33634That would n''t be sacrilege, would it?
33634That''s straight enough, ai n''t it?
33634That''s the state of affairs, is n''t it?"
33634The only decent thing old John''ll ever do will be to die-- h''m?
33634The question is, why would you?
33634The running time of the fast fliers on this stretch is-- but what of that?
33634Then abruptly:"I got to get strong for the old 1601, ai n''t I?
33634There''s nothing superstitious about that, is there?
33634Thirty dollars a month-- it''s not much of a stake-- what do you say?"
33634Three hours?
33634Timmy O''Toole now, is it?
33634Toddles?
33634Trouble?
33634Trouble?
33634Understand?"
33634Understand?"
33634Use the key and put them wise?
33634Want to begin right away?"
33634Was he going to stop too soon after all?
33634Was he near any help?
33634We ditch the train-- see?
33634Well, everybody day- dreams, do n''t they?
33634Well, it''s an easy matter and a very human one, to judge another from the safe vantage ground of distance-- isn''t it?
33634Well, so long, Dook-- I got it straight, eh?
33634Well, then, I was right, was n''t I?
33634Well, then, forget it, he''s been doing that for a year now-- what?"
33634Well, then, what''s the matter with you?
33634Well, then-- what?"
33634Whash goin''to do''bout it, Charlie?"
33634What d''ye say, doc?"
33634What day is this?"
33634What did Toddles have to do with this?
33634What do you bid?"
33634What do you say?"
33634What do you say?"
33634What do you say?"
33634What do you think about it, Tommy?"
33634What for?
33634What goal?
33634What in blazes does a white man want to go and live in a two- room pigsty, with a family of Polacks and about eighteen kids, for?"
33634What is it?"
33634What kind of an engineer do you think you''d make?
33634What sort of a job?"
33634What was he to do?
33634What was the matter?
33634What''d you do?"
33634What''s a godfather, anyhow?"
33634What''s next?"
33634What''s the matter with sending him somewhere up the line where he ca n''t get a drink if he goes to blazes for it?
33634What''s wrong with you, McCann?"
33634What?"
33634When you''ve had a chance to look around a little more, mabbe you''ll be able to decide better-- what?
33634When?
33634Where was he?
33634Where''s your mate?"
33634Where, from what possible source, could there be any trouble?
33634Who is he-- h''m?
33634Who knows if he ever heard the thundering crash with which the Elk River bridge went out?
33634Who knows what was in the poor, warped brain that night?
33634Who knows?
33634Who knows?
33634Who was going to say anything about it?
33634Who''s Pietro?"
33634Who''s talkin''?"
33634Who''s to tell him?"
33634Why do n''t you answer?"
33634Why do n''t you cut it out?
33634Why do n''t you hit Regan up and change over?"
33634Why not Beezer?
33634Why smash the window?
33634Why waste the moment required to do it simply to answer the call?
33634Why?
33634Yes?
33634Yez''ll take ut back, Regan?"
33634You can give my run to some one else, Regan, d''ye mind?
33634You can read, ca n''t you?
33634You know Carleton, do n''t you?
33634You know that, Regan-- you know it hanged well, do n''t you?"
33634You see de letters, an''know what''s goin''on pretty familiar- like, do n''t you?"
33634You see what happened?
33634You thought I was-- hic!--s''drunk I would n''t know-- eh?
33634You understand, God, do n''t You?''"
33634You would n''t do that, would you-- Charlie?
33634You would n''t throw me down-- would you?
33634You''re not to blame, are you?
33634You''re the senior engineer on the division, ai n''t you?
33634You''ve got some pretty old men handling your trains out here, have n''t you?"
33634he gasped; and then, quick as a steel trap:"What''s wrong?"
5901A New York train?
5901Ahem-- seat occupied?
5901Am I to understand that you connect ME in any way with this girl''s death, or that I am a friend to this Hubert Vander of whom you speak?
5901Among them an old woman?
5901An express robbery, you say?
5901And Dyke Darrel is now in Chicago?
5901And Dyke?
5901And Hubert''s friend?
5901And I sit with my hands folded meantime?
5901And at Bloomington I can take the cars for Burlington?
5901And do you imagine_ I_ am going to pay the bill?
5901And here I''ve been-- how long?
5901And his wife-- children?
5901And it makes you feel uneasy?
5901And now?
5901And put on a disguise?
5901And that Dyke Darrel is on the trail?
5901And that is why you are here?
5901And that?
5901And that?
5901And you deem me a most hardened scoundrel? 5901 And you did it?"
5901And you saw and talked with him?
5901And you were not in Black Hollow, last night?
5901And you will consent to act as this girl''s keeper for a time?
5901And you will not run into danger, for my sake?
5901And you?
5901Any passengers get on?
5901Are n''t you glad to see me, Madam?
5901Are n''t you glad to see me, Nell?
5901Are they together?
5901Are you a relative of Mr.---?
5901Are you alone?
5901Are you going to him soon?
5901Are you going to take passengers?
5901Are you stopping there?
5901Are you sure of it?
5901Are you sure?
5901As I like?
5901At what hour does the train pass?
5901Aye, but his name?
5901But how comes it that you are like this?
5901But if any one asked you, would you refuse?
5901But is it a photograph of your face?
5901But is there no way to escape?
5901But of what crime was the young man accused? 5901 But see here, how am I to know that you are a detective?
5901But suppose any danger should threaten you?
5901But the down train goes earlier?
5901But the man Jarima? 5901 But what can I do among all these fiends?"
5901But who could have done it?
5901But who is he? 5901 But who was the leader-- the instigator of the foul deed?"
5901But you will come to- morrow, will you not-- to tell me the result?
5901But, dear, what will your father say?
5901Can I be of any service? 5901 Can I go to Dyke?"
5901Can I help you, grandfather?
5901Can you bear it?
5901Can you control your hand?
5901Can you prove this?
5901Can you prove this?
5901Can you tell me,she began breathlessly to a sunburnt man standing near,"if there are any ships leaving here to- morrow?"
5901Can you walk, brother?
5901Company? 5901 Confound it, who are you?"
5901Could it be possible for you to set them free, without fear of detection?
5901Did I not so claim at the time?
5901Did any passengers get off here some hours since from the New York train east?
5901Did n''t I say so? 5901 Did she say anything?"
5901Did you find any one?
5901Did you find your man?
5901Did you hit him, Professor?
5901Did you know the murdered messenger, Dyke?
5901Did you recognize them?
5901Did you suspect this before now?
5901Diniz, is it really you? 5901 Do n''t it you?"
5901Do n''t it? 5901 Do n''t you accept what the dying Swart said as true?"
5901Do n''t you hear his step? 5901 Do you deny your guilt, scoundrel?"
5901Do you get off here?
5901Do you hear me, Sam?
5901Do you know that they took the New York train?
5901Do you know who sent the dispatch?
5901Do you mean this, father? 5901 Do you mean to say that Watson has been arrested?"
5901Do you not know her?
5901Do you realize your condition? 5901 Do you remember that night on the dock beside the river, Elliston?"
5901Do you suppose I have nothing to do but answer such nonsensical questions?
5901Do you think I could see him? 5901 Do you think my Hubert could write anything so cruel?"
5901Do you think she came to this vicinity on the cars?
5901Do you think so, Savitre? 5901 Do you think this is stolen?"
5901Does it? 5901 Dyke, what would you do?"
5901Dyke, you know that when I left Woodburg some months ago, I went from among you under a cloud?
5901Eh, it''s you, Ruggles?
5901Eh? 5901 Eh?
5901Eh? 5901 Eh?"
5901Eh?
5901Explain, Savitre-- Sampayo, what means this strange raving? 5901 Galien?
5901Got off? 5901 Harper Elliston, how dare you insult me in this way?
5901Harper, are you aware that the murdered messenger was my friend?
5901Has he said anything?
5901Have n''t they been here to- day?
5901Have n''t you forgotten something?
5901Have n''t you got into the wrong house?
5901Have n''t you met him?
5901Have you brought good news?
5901Have you formulated a plan?
5901Have you heard of the midnight express robbery?
5901Have you investigated?
5901Have you opened the satchel?
5901Have you seen my brother?
5901He is away most of his time, as you doubtless know----"And the girl is alone?
5901He is well?
5901He recognized you of course?
5901His name?
5901How about the Osborne case?
5901How are you, Dyke, old boy?
5901How can you act so dishonorably, papa?
5901How could I help but love you-- you who saved my life? 5901 How could you guess that?"
5901How did it happen?
5901How did it happen?
5901How did it happen?
5901How did this happen?
5901How do you feel, my man?
5901How do you find yourself this morning, my dear?
5901How do you know what she was worth, you miserable brute?
5901How does the land lay, Nat?
5901How far is that from here?
5901How is that?
5901How long will you keep her here?
5901Hubert Vander? 5901 I believe you are leaving India to- morrow?
5901I could have long ago taken a partner to share my life in my elegant home on Fifth avenue, but do you know the reason of my not doing so? 5901 I did not miss my guess when I called him Elliston?"
5901I might; but---"Well?
5901I steal? 5901 I was rescued, you say?
5901If necessary, of course; but what in the world is the matter, Dyke? 5901 If you knew it would do some one a great service?
5901In ten minutes? 5901 Indeed?"
5901Is it you who wish to go?
5901Is that the answer I am to give Tonza?
5901Is that your photograph?
5901Is this Miss Darrel?
5901Is this because you fear to trust me, after what has happened, Dyke?
5901It is you? 5901 It''s ther kid--""Watson?"
5901Jule, when did my sister answer this letter?
5901Last night?
5901Lianor, may I speak before Savitre?
5901Lianor, what does this farce mean? 5901 Madge, what charge was your nephew arrested under?"
5901Madge, where are Nick and Sam?
5901Martin?
5901May not this Vander and his friends conclude that the man- hunter perished in the flames, if they fail to see him again? 5901 Mike, where are you hit?"
5901Miss Nell? 5901 Mr. Elliston, did you come here to insult me?"
5901Must I call you coquette?
5901My child,drawing her nearer to him,"Luiz Falcam has asked your hand in marriage; what answer shall I give him?"
5901My cousin?
5901My dear Lianor,said her companion, a young man scarcely older than herself, and wonderfully like her,"what new idea, have you got now?"
5901My dearest child, what is the matter? 5901 Nell, is it you?"
5901Nell, what is it?
5901No-- why should I be glad?
5901No; a young gemmen----"A gentleman?
5901No?
5901No?
5901Now what?
5901Of what use a disguise that my friends all understood?
5901Old woman, do you mean to murder me here?
5901Only this morning, you say?
5901Perhaps; but was n''t there another coincidence that gave you reason to suspect me? 5901 Savitre,"Leone said suddenly,"would you be willing to leave your country-- to go with me to Portugal?"
5901See here, boss, are n''t you goin''on a bin run for nothin''? 5901 Senora,"he said politely, drawing from his breast the poignard,"can you tell me from whom your father bought this?"
5901Sha n''t I order the wine?
5901Should you know him again? 5901 Sibyl Osborne?"
5901Sims?
5901So long?'' 5901 So you are the man who wrote that note requesting an interview?
5901So you have Paul with you, Harry?
5901Soon?
5901Surely you are not thinking of leaving India?
5901Swear it? 5901 The Professor?"
5901The express crime?
5901The money and jewels, Miriam-- what have you done with them?
5901The witnesses?
5901Then our paths must lie apart hereafter, I suppose, Miss Darrel?
5901This came when?
5901This is all you know regarding the midnight tragedy?
5901This is the truth?
5901Thought to fool the old woman, eh?
5901Through the mail?
5901To what?
5901To whom?
5901Took?
5901True, but how will we git the cuss outside?
5901Wal?
5901Was he?
5901Was it Professor Ruggles?
5901Was it the fact of my hand fitting this bloody imprint that so startled you in the St. Louis hotel?
5901Watson, I hope you know nothing of this work?
5901Well, Lianor, dearest, what is it?
5901Well, how did you make out, Harry?
5901Well, what has happened to him, man? 5901 Well, yes,"admitted the youth;"I hope you did n''t imagine, however, that_ I_ had a hand in this railway robbery and murder?"
5901Well?
5901Well?
5901Well?
5901Well?
5901Well?
5901Well?
5901Well?
5901Well?
5901Were n''t you in Black Hollow last night?
5901What IS the trouble?
5901What are we to do?
5901What do I know?
5901What do you know of the disappearance of Captain Osborne and the death of his daughter?
5901What do you know of the murder of Arnold Nicholson on the midnight express, south of Chicago, some weeks ago?
5901What do you mean by that?
5901What do you want?
5901What does this mean?
5901What has happened? 5901 What have you discovered, Dyke?"
5901What have you to say now, Harper Elliston?
5901What in the name of caution are you driving at, Aunt Jule? 5901 What in the nation do you want with money any how?"
5901What is he here for?
5901What is it you want?
5901What is it you wish?
5901What is it, Dyke?
5901What is it? 5901 What is it?"
5901What is that?
5901What is that?
5901What is that?
5901What news do you bring?
5901What nonsense are you saying, child? 5901 What now, pard?
5901What was it?--WHO was it?
5901What will it be?
5901What will you do?
5901What''s that you say?
5901What''s that? 5901 What''s wanted, you fellers?"
5901What, Falcam, is it you, my boy?
5901What? 5901 What?"
5901What?
5901When did you learn so much?
5901When does the next train pass going west?
5901When does the next train pass, Harper?
5901When does the train pass?
5901When shall I see you again, Dyke?
5901When will Harry come to Woodburg?
5901When?
5901When?
5901Where am I?
5901Where are you going, Lianor?
5901Where did you get it?
5901Where did you get this?
5901Where did you get your information?
5901Where did you obtain this, Dyke?
5901Where does he live?
5901Where have you been, Lianor? 5901 Where is Dyke?"
5901Where is Lianor?
5901Where is he now?
5901Where is the flask of brandy you brought from the train, Dyke?
5901Where is the old hag who rules this den of iniquity?
5901Where''s the woman now?
5901Where? 5901 Where?"
5901Where?
5901Who are you and what are you driving at?
5901Who are you?
5901Who are you?
5901Who did this, then?
5901Who else should I mean?
5901Who helped her?
5901Who is this?
5901Who then?
5901Who was it?
5901Who was it?
5901Who''s there?
5901Why did n''t you bring the young missus wid yo?
5901Why did n''t you send''em up?
5901Why did not you call for me at Bragg''s?
5901Why did you permit it?
5901Why do you call me by that name, Dyke Darrel?
5901Why do you hope so?
5901Why do you sigh? 5901 Why have you come too late?
5901Why have you such an idea?
5901Why not?
5901Why should I think on it? 5901 Why so?"
5901Why was I brought here?
5901Will it never come-- the proof I want?
5901Will nothing I say convince you I am innocent? 5901 Will nothing move you, woman?"
5901Will you entice him?
5901Will you go down on Clark street with me?
5901Will you go to Chicago now?
5901Will you not lie down and rest?
5901Will you permit us to depart from here?
5901Will you show me some?
5901Will you swear to this also?
5901Will you take the required oath?'' 5901 Would a dying man be likely to utter a falsehood?"
5901Would n''t it?
5901Would you do it after what has happened, if you were in a condition to do so?
5901YOU?
5901Yes; what do you know?
5901Yes; will you keep me company?
5901Yet you would be glad to see Dyke Darrel dead?
5901You agree to my terms?
5901You are a detective?
5901You are confident?
5901You are sure his captor was Dyke Darrel?
5901You are sure? 5901 You are sure?"
5901You are surprised?
5901You are unarmed?
5901You believe I am lying, Dyke Darrel?
5901You came at noon?
5901You did not go to Chicago, then?
5901You did not know this dead girl?
5901You do not care to remain with me longer?
5901You had him once?
5901You have heard of Dyke Darrel?
5901You have not found him?
5901You have read the news?
5901You know me?
5901You know the place?
5901You love him, child?
5901You mean Dyke Darrel, the detective?
5901You must go first?
5901You really mean that? 5901 You said the wart had a peculiar shape?
5901You see how it is, Nell?
5901You see that brown house up yonder, in the edge of that grove?
5901You see that?
5901You suspected as much?
5901You swear it?
5901You will tell me of your success or failure?
5901You will trust me as of old?
5901You wish to ask me something, is it not so? 5901 You wished to see me, papa?"
5901You wished to see me, senora?
5901You''re sure the door''s tightly fastened?
5901You''re the detective, Dyke Darrel?
5901Your friend?
5901_ I_ know her? 5901 A daughter of the house?
5901A lot of chattering girls, I suppose?"
5901A strange glitter came to the eyes of Mrs. Scarlet as she said:"Who told you that Nell Darrel was in this house?"
5901An old friend of yours, is he not?"
5901And Lianor-- how is she?-- well?"
5901And what is that?"
5901Any clew discovered?"
5901Are n''t I a pattern of perfection?"
5901Are you hurt?"
5901Are you ill?"
5901Are you sorry to quit your native land?"
5901At length he said:"Dyke, what is it?"
5901But if he never came here again?"
5901But is he, then, in need of help-- in danger?"
5901But one person was awake, an old man, who said:"Lookin''fur the young lady?"
5901But should he die-- what then?"
5901But what meant this horrible revelation of the handkerchief?
5901But what use was her feeble strength against the powerful wills of two determined men?
5901But what was their strength against more than five hundred strong warriors?
5901But why these robes, Lianor?
5901But your father will he consent to your accompanying me?"
5901But, Lianor, is it true you are betrothed to Tonza?"
5901Ca n''t you speak?"
5901Can it be possible that the friends of Nell Darrel have employed this hag to rob me of my prize?
5901Can it be that our friendship was but a brittle cord, after all?"
5901Can you lend me some money, Nick?"
5901Can you refuse my offer when the lives of those you love depend upon it?"
5901Could anything be more generous?"
5901Could it be possible that another had the same- sized hand and a wart near the knuckle of the little finger?
5901Could it be that she was dreaming?
5901Darrel?"
5901Did he send ye?"
5901Did you recognize me when we first met?"
5901Did you see the man''s face who assaulted me, Harry?"
5901Did you want me?"
5901Didn''yo''send fur her yo''very self?
5901Do n''t lose your temper, sir, but listen?"
5901Do n''t you know I''m always dead- broke?"
5901Do n''t you remember?"
5901Do n''t you think that will be pleasant, dearest?"
5901Do n''t you understand?
5901Do you hear me?"
5901Do you imagine he''s on the trail?"
5901Do you imagine that I would for one moment countenance anything so base?
5901Do you know Hubert Vander?"
5901Do you know on what dangerous grounds you are treading?
5901Do you know that Nell Darrel is armed?"
5901Do you know that many of the wealthiest, most beautiful maidens of Gotham would jump at the offer you have just spurned so lightly?"
5901Do you know the man Sims?"
5901Do you know, Watson, the fate of your poor uncle?"
5901Do you stop there?"
5901Do you suppose your dear nephew could do anything wrong?
5901Do you think I''m a fool, Dyke Darrel?"
5901Do you understand?"
5901Do you wish to hear what I can tell?"
5901Dyke Darrel, do you imagine that_ I_ had aught to do with enticing your sister to this wicked city?
5901Dyke injured?
5901Elliston?"
5901Even if you were not connected with it, you know WHO was?"
5901First, have you not got Phenee, the Jew, and Diniz Sampayo here?"
5901Had that face at the window been an optical delusion, after all?
5901Harry, has nothing been discovered of poor Nell?--was she killed?"
5901Hate him?
5901Have you a match?"
5901Have you any word to send to Dyke?"
5901Have you brought me any news?"
5901Have you not been for him?"
5901He will never betray a poor girl-- such a gentleman, and so good?
5901His wife-- when he murdered Luiz?"
5901Hope you did n''t think I''d committed matrimony?"
5901Hope you''re not in love-- THAT makes a fool of a man sometimes?"
5901How can I break the awful truth to you?
5901How can I live without you?"
5901How can it be possible?
5901How comes''it, though, her miniature is in his hands?
5901How could any one have been so cold- blooded?"
5901How dare you disobey me when I said so particularly I wished you to appear at your best?
5901How den yo''''spec she''s goin''to be home ef yo''didn''done brung her, eh?"
5901How did you find him?"
5901How do you feel, dear?"
5901How does your head feel?"
5901How is that?"
5901How much will you give me for it?"
5901I hope you do not fear to trust me?"
5901I remembered only to- day that you once proved a true friend to Diniz Sampayo, and I came to know if you would again aid him?"
5901I suppose I have your good wishes in hunting down the outlaws?"
5901I thought it was a day of festival at the palace?"
5901I wonder who?"
5901I''ll go and introduce myself and get him to wait this car to try an excellent brand of cigars-- see?"
5901I''ve heerd that you have rooms to rent?"
5901In mourning, and for a ball?"
5901In the meantime, how fared it with poor Nell Darrel, who had gone thus blindly to her doom?
5901Is he ill-- in danger?
5901Is he in?"
5901Is it Luiz?
5901Is it a criminal case?"
5901Is it not so?"
5901Is n''t she at home?"
5901Look at that, and tell me what you think of it?"
5901Louis?"
5901Louis?"
5901Louis?"
5901Madge, where are you?"
5901My nephew is still in durance vile?"
5901Not the one on the midnight express, I hope?"
5901Now, as regards Watson Wilks, you say Dyke Darrel has gone to Missouri with the boy in charge?"
5901Of course you have heard of the crime on the Central?"
5901Of course you heard of the robbery of the midnight express down in the central part of the State last night?
5901Oh, senor, how can you ask?
5901Scarlet?"
5901Strange place for a learned professor, was it not?
5901Strange proceeding, was it not, after what had taken place?
5901Suppose any one overheard us?"
5901Surely you would not sacrifice your child to him?
5901The boy?
5901The late tragedy, for instance?"
5901Think you I am fool enough to permit this?"
5901To Hubert?"
5901Two men met unexpectedly in one of the hotel corridors of the great city; two hands went out, and"How are you, Harry?"
5901Was his enemy to thus outwit him always?
5901Was that the truth?"
5901Wat can I do for ye, mister?"
5901Well, now, what is this for?"
5901Whar''d you be now if I had n''t gin Dyke Darrel his quietus?
5901What did he want, honey?"
5901What fate had been her brother''s?
5901What had caused this awful calamity?
5901What had happened during all this while?
5901What has he done?"
5901What have they done with the villains, that sleek one with the red hair and beard?"
5901What hev''you got there?"
5901What is he arrested for?"
5901What is it?"
5901What is the matter?
5901What is your opinion?"
5901What made you, a stranger, think of one whom all others had forgotten?"
5901What motive could a wealthy man like Tonza have in getting rid of one of his own employes?
5901What shall we do with this?"
5901What was it that had caught the eye of Dyke Darrel, to cause such terrible emotion?
5901What was the trouble about?"
5901Where did we leave off?"
5901Where in the world did you spring from?"
5901Who could that be but Martin Skidway?
5901Who had robbed him?
5901Who is dead?"
5901Who is she?
5901Who is she?"
5901Who is the woman?
5901Who was it?"
5901Who were the rescuers?"
5901Why did I ever let you leave me?
5901Why do you hesitate?"
5901Why had he not come?
5901Why have I come here so often?
5901Why have you disguised yourself?
5901Why then should he not trust him?
5901Why, then, should you say he stole it?"
5901Will you answer?"
5901Will you come with me to Bragg''s?"
5901Will you go on it to Chicago?"
5901Will you go on?"
5901Will you help me to rescue her?"
5901Will you take us, and set us down on one of those small islands on the coast, where no one would find us?"
5901Would it be so dreadful for you to quit the country?"
5901Would you know the wart if you should see it again?"
5901Would you mind telling me where you are going?"
5901Would you try to frighten me?
5901Yet, why should she think of that man?
5901You are Don Garcia''s daughter, are you not?"
5901You draw a pistol on me, Dyke Darrel?
5901You have been down the road?"
5901You have n''t heard from him?"
5901You love me, a girl who is not even of your own kind?"
5901You understand, Sam?"
5901You will do as I wish?"
5901You would smile and feel happy to see him suffer?"
5901he cried, hoarsely,"WHO coaxed you to commit this crime?"
5901he gasped,"is it really you?"
5901how are you?
5901how came you here, Martin Skidway?"
5901is that so?
5901is this you?"
5901so you''re here again, Nick?
5901what does this mean?"
5901what is that?"
5901what should I do if they took you from me?"
5901who is this?"
16630''They?'' 16630 Afraid?
16630After a good fashion, I hope?
16630Ah, Williams-- concealed weapons? 16630 Am I not?"
16630Am I?
16630And how about opening the new through line for business? 16630 And if I did?"
16630And is she still worth all those sacrifices you said you would be willing to make for her?
16630And that reason is?
16630And that reminds me: are we going to be at war with the main line operating department?
16630And the president?
16630And then?
16630And then?
16630And these dash-_dashed_ MacMorroghs did n''t try to hold them?
16630And those promises were--?
16630And you think it will affect the price of the stock?
16630Any use to turn out the crew and hunt for them?
16630Anybody want to try a run for it?
16630Are n''t you going over to see the new route with your own eyes?
16630Are we?
16630Are you a division superintendent on the system and do n''t know?
16630Are you full awake now, ye red- hot blastoderm?
16630Are you good for a two- hundred- and- eighty- mile cayuse ride, there and back, on the same trail we tramped over a year ago last spring?
16630Are you guessing at that? 16630 Are you provoked with yourself, or with me?"
16630Are you quite convinced that I am the better man?
16630Are you, too, bitten with the fad of the moment,''the simple life''?
16630Are you?
16630At once?
16630Baseless?
16630Because if it is, I think you must be out of the West; the-- the unfettered West: is n''t that what it is called?
16630Because it ca n''t be financed?
16630Been cooling your fingers, has he? 16630 Big money, you mean?
16630But Mr. Frisbie must have been over the line a great many times: how could he miss seeing that enormous sign?
16630But ca n''t you make the MacMorroghs do a little police work, for common decency''s sake?
16630But granting it to be the fact, do n''t you see the absolute futility of asking for thirty- five millions additional capital at such a crisis?
16630But how could you be implicated?
16630But how would you go about it to rule them out?
16630But nothing came of it?
16630But tell me how it happened?
16630But the mine: you had a right to buy it, did n''t you?
16630But the president?
16630But this Plug Mountain division is a part of Mr. Ford''s line, is n''t it?
16630But why all this stage play? 16630 But why do you say that?
16630But you have safe majorities?
16630But you''ll make my excuses to Mrs. Adair, wo n''t you? 16630 By coming to Chicago with us?
16630By my lonesome?
16630By the way, Mr. Ford; what time did you say your train would reach Chicago?
16630Can you see now how it takes the very marrow out of a man''s bones, Kenneth? 16630 Come up here for the view?
16630Could n''t you draw on the treasurer? 16630 Could we make room?
16630Cruel?
16630Did I? 16630 Did Mr. Frisbie know about your purchase of the mine?"
16630Did any of the shots hit the car?
16630Did he get him? 16630 Did n''t he say something about going over these new lines on an inspection trip?"
16630Did that fetch him?
16630Did you notice his horse''s hoofs as he went by?
16630Did you-- did you name it?
16630Dinner- buckets?
16630Do n''t I? 16630 Do n''t you see how you are going to be hoisted with your own ammunition?"
16630Do n''t you? 16630 Do n''t you?
16630Do they store it in our yards?
16630Do we get the men and tools?
16630Do we get them?
16630Do we send back?
16630Do you find it exciting enough to keep you interested, as far as you''ve gone?
16630Do you honestly believe that, Ford?
16630Do you know any good of them?
16630Do you really think so small of a man''s work in the world, Miss Adair?
16630Do you still remember her, as you do the conversation?
16630Does a laboring man ever get out of here with any of his earnings?
16630Does either one of you happen to have anything bigger than a pocket- knife in the way of a weapon?
16630Fight it out, d''ye mean?
16630Ford, have you any adequate idea of what a tremendous proposition you are up against?
16630Forgotten you? 16630 Frisbie?"
16630Getting these options, you mean? 16630 Had you written him that you were going away?"
16630Has he forgotten how to run since he left the Plug Mountain? 16630 Have I told you in any of my earlier letters that I have personally earned the ill- will of General Manager North?
16630Have we lost something?
16630Have you a fraction of an idea that we are going to allow you to make a Jonah of yourself for us? 16630 Have you any idea of what is causing the delay?"
16630Have you any more cartridges for this cannon of yours, Williams?
16630Have you any notion who it was?
16630Have you ever heard of a professional man- killer, Miss Adair; a man whose calling is that of a hired assassin?
16630He''s the man who talked Frisbie into championing the new route?
16630Hold on a minute; how is the water?
16630How are things going?
16630How can you say that?
16630How did you expect I was ever going to be able to find you again, without even your name as a clue?
16630How do you account for it?
16630How do you know he is n''t?
16630How do you two C. E.''s account for it?
16630How far?
16630How is that?
16630How many are there of you up ahead?
16630How much do we control-- that we are sure of?
16630How much of a pull has he with the New York money- people?
16630How soon do you think you can get that first train- load of grain in transit?
16630How''s your track from this on?
16630How? 16630 How?"
16630I am so sorry we are not going to be here to see your triumph,she was saying; adding:"It is a triumph, is n''t it?"''
16630I fancy he has n''t been bored for the lack of work since I left New York, has he?
16630I suppose the engineers at Saint''s Rest could put me up if I have to stay over night?
16630I wint to Chicago to see him when the bid was in, and d''ye think he would lave me talk it over with him? 16630 I wonder what I''ve been doing now-- or leaving undone?"
16630I? 16630 If he wanted to rub salt into your bruises, why did n''t he take you in the cart with him?
16630Is Mr. Colbrith coming out this early in the summer?
16630Is he still formidable to you?
16630Is it Western-- or merely human?
16630Is it to ditch it, ye mane?
16630Is it uncle who is in the way?--or the pleasure party?
16630Is n''t he the kind of man who would have taken the message to the other Garcia?
16630Is n''t he?
16630Is that a compliment?
16630Is that sufficiently explicit?
16630Is that what they are doing?
16630Is the trouble likely to spread to the camps farther down?
16630Is there anything else? 16630 Is there nothing at all?"
16630It did, did n''t it, Brissac?
16630It looks that way, does n''t it? 16630 It''s all settled?"
16630It''s considerably difficult to sit up and pull your imagination on a man who has been decently good to you, is n''t it, Barclay? 16630 Just why?"
16630Last of all?
16630Merriam? 16630 Mind?
16630Mr. North? 16630 Mr.--ah-- Ford,"he began critically,"is it necessary to have such a vast army of men as that to lay the track?"
16630My fault?
16630Near yours?
16630No one else?
16630None of your men are likely to drift in from the other way up the line?
16630Not if I withdrew my-- ah-- objections?
16630Now hold it steadily and pick up the line in the great loop.... Have you found it?... 16630 Now that''s a nice way to stir a fellow up, is n''t it?"
16630Now, what in the mischief does all that mean?
16630Now, what the deuce are you starting a New York bank account for?
16630Of course he was quite willing to oblige you? 16630 Oh, will you?
16630Oh, you did?
16630Oh, you have n''t? 16630 One question, Mr. Eckstein; do they play fair with all concerned?"
16630Or rather, why did you persist in keeping me to the old swords?
16630Pretty well knocked out, Michael?
16630Prophesy, Stuart: what comes next?
16630Reckon he forgot something, and has to come back after it?
16630Say, Mister Cock- o''-the- walk-- where do you hide all that muscle?
16630Shall I take your message? 16630 Shall we assume that the one implies the other?
16630Shall we go back now?
16630Shall we wait for your aunt and the others?
16630Shall you never be satisfied?
16630Sho''you is n''t a newspapuh man?
16630Shocked, are n''t you?
16630So you are coming around to ask a favor of Ford?
16630So you came to talk business, did you?
16630Stuart, did you lose your temper?
16630Tell me, Mr. Ford; is-- is she pretty?
16630The MacMorrogh outfit?
16630Then it is n''t a long bluff on your part?
16630Then perhaps you will be good enough to explain your meaning?
16630Then this is only a trumped- up excuse to make you stay here?
16630Then why should Mr. North use it as an argument against you in speaking to Uncle Sidney? 16630 There is no such thing as mercy in business, is there, Mr. Ford?
16630There''s something a bit curious about that-- you do n''t mind our talking shop like a pair of floor- walkers, do you, Miss Adair? 16630 Think you could climb over the coal with some dinner for the enginemen?
16630To about how much, in figures, should you say?
16630To help Misther Foord out? 16630 To knock a grain av sinse into thot Wicklow man?"
16630To pay for the buckboards?
16630To win what?
16630Tricks?
16630Under these conditions, I suppose it is up to me to wire the executive committee, withdrawing my objections to the MacMorroghs, is n''t it?
16630Was it very bad-- last night?
16630Well, Mr. Ford, what are we waiting for?
16630Well, Mr. Ford,he began, somewhat breathless but triumphant,"are you fully satisfied?"
16630Well, is n''t business the very heart and soul of the American ideal?
16630Well, we go to this here Siding Number Twelve, do we?
16630Well, what do we do? 16630 Well, what''s the cost to us?"
16630Well, what''s wanted?
16630Well,said the Westerner anxiously,"am I going to get it?"
16630Well,''Checo, what did you find out?
16630Well?
16630Well?
16630Well?
16630Well?
16630Were the others alarmed?
16630Were we as near as that to a collision?
16630Were you on the engine all the time?
16630What am I to look for?
16630What are the orders for to- day?
16630What are they doing now?
16630What are you going to do?
16630What becomes of all your complaints of drunkenness and crime, when Mr. Colbrith can see with his own eyes what truly good people the MacMorroghs are? 16630 What do you mean by that, Mr. Ford?
16630What do you suppose Eckstein was up to, sitting here all night, Jim?
16630What do you think you know, Evans?
16630What for?
16630What for?
16630What happens? 16630 What he overheard you telling Alicia?"
16630What in the name o''thunder is the old man''s notion of goin''to the front with a picnic party and makin''a night run of it, at that, d''ye reckon?
16630What in the name of common sense were they thinking of to send him out here?
16630What is it?
16630What is that Bible- saying about the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land?
16630What line?
16630What made you buy it at all?
16630What shall it be?
16630What shall you do, Stuart? 16630 What were your reasons for making the change?"
16630What will they try next?
16630What''s come over you big bosses, all at once?
16630What''s the matter now?
16630What''s the matter with Olson?
16630What''s your guess, Dick?
16630What?--to- morrow? 16630 When does the board meet again?
16630Where are you going?
16630Where can I reach Ford?
16630Where did you learn that trick?
16630Where is Mr. Ford now?
16630Where is your brother?
16630Where was this party?
16630Where was your brother then?
16630Whereabouts are we now, Johnson?
16630Whereabouts does it hit us this time?
16630Which gives us a dead wire without any batteries,said Ford gloomily; and then:"Hold on-- aren''t there electric call- bells in this car, Adair?"
16630Who is Crapsey?
16630Who''s to know?
16630Why are they hauling it away?
16630Why ca n''t you?
16630Why ca n''t you?
16630Why do n''t you?
16630Why should you put the burden of the decision upon poor me?
16630Why would n''t you talk?
16630Why, Alicia, girl-- see here: what do you imagine could happen to me? 16630 Why?
16630Why? 16630 Why?
16630Why? 16630 Why?"
16630Will he sell us that stock in the Little Alicia, Charles Edward?
16630Will it disarrange things so very much if the Nadia is taken to the''front''?
16630Will nothing be done?
16630Will you? 16630 Witnesses?"
16630Would n''t Adair be a good safety- switch to throw in front of Mr. North and MacMorrogh in New York?
16630Would n''t that jolt you?
16630Would you do that for Uncle Sidney? 16630 Yes?"
16630Yes?
16630You are a''big boss,''too, are n''t you?
16630You are going back to the West, I suppose?
16630You are not afraid, are you?
16630You are quite sure Mr. Gallagher wo n''t mind?
16630You are sure Mr. Adair and Brissac are out of the way?
16630You do n''t think you could postpone it?
16630You foresaw all this before the contract was awarded?
16630You have held your own strikers-- the men you can depend upon: how many do we count, all told?
16630You kept a copy?
16630You mean that he might have objected to your driver? 16630 You mean that the time is too short?"
16630You mean--?
16630You read_ Naught- naught- seven_?
16630You said Gallagher ditched your car: did it block the track?
16630You said it was perfectly legitimate, did n''t you?
16630You say the camp has already gone dry?
16630You t''ink- a he''s not- a sufficiently kill? 16630 You think he would call it off if he knew?"
16630You wo n''t mind if I say that the name attracted me? 16630 You wo n''t wait to see what happens here?"
16630You''ll let me know where to reach you from time to time, I suppose?
16630You''re quite sure that is what is needed?
16630You''re sure of that?
16630You''ve had no word from him?
16630You? 16630 Accordingly, Mr. Colbrith comes over here to see for himself: and what will he see? 16630 Actually tried to kill you in cold blood? 16630 Adair?
16630Adair?"
16630After that, who could connect him with the dead body of a man fished out of a river twenty, fifty, a hundred miles away?
16630Alicia was looking down upon the town when she said:"What shall you do?"
16630Alicia?"
16630Am I making it clear?"
16630And coming upon the heels of to- day''s sudden tumble--""What''s that?"
16630And if we do n''t get relief?"
16630And then, in a half- awed whisper:"Who is that dreadful, Grand- Opera- villain looking man he is talking to?"
16630And then, more seriously:"What is your ambition?
16630And then:"The ladies are quite well, I hope?"
16630And then:"When are you going back?"
16630And two hundred thousand would build a number of miles of ordinary railroad, would n''t it?
16630And what conclusion will he arrive at?
16630And where do_ I_ come in?"
16630And, of course, she is a paragon of all the virtues?--an angel without the extremely inconvenient wings?"
16630Answer me sir: when did you become interested in this mine?"
16630Any word from Major Benson?"
16630Are n''t you a little unfair?"
16630Are n''t you the Sublime Porte-- the court of last resort-- the big boss-- over here?"
16630Are the buckboards here for that?"
16630Are we?"
16630Are you going to let these stock- jobbing land- pirates on''Change gibbet you as a solemn warning to aspiring young promoters?"
16630Are you still my boss?"
16630Are you sure you have n''t been doing anything over here that you would n''t want Uncle Sidney to find out?"
16630Brissac?"
16630But I wonder if you could understand if I say that it will make it a thousand times harder for me?"
16630But about the contract: you have n''t heard from the executive committee?"
16630But are you sure about these Chicago terminals?
16630But broadening the Plug Mountain to standard gauge does n''t put us into Copah this summer, does it?"
16630But every now and then one is surprised into telling the truth, do n''t you think?"
16630But just how bad is the report going to be?"
16630But no matter; supposing I did?"
16630But ought n''t Mr. Frisbie to get back to his work?"
16630But what for, Stuart?--for heaven''s sake, what for?"
16630But what of it?
16630But what on top of earth are you driving at, Stuart?"
16630But who''d be doin''this job betune dark an''mornin'', d''ye think?"
16630By the way, how are the men coming?"
16630Ca n''t you anticipate that much without endangering your bubble?"
16630Ca n''t you come anyhow, and take a later train west?"
16630Ca n''t you feel the Sunday- school atmosphere right here in the headquarters this morning?
16630Can I see it with the glass?"
16630Can you describe the symptoms?"
16630Can you handle this without help from me?"
16630Can you make it nine o''clock?"
16630Can you make room for us?"
16630Can you reach Ford or Mr. Colbrith by wire?"
16630Can you spare the time to go to New York?"
16630Colbrith?"
16630Colbrith?"
16630Could he afford to play the safe game and wait until the building capital should be cannily in Mr. Magnus''bank vaults?
16630Could you sleep at all?"
16630Did any one see you come back?"
16630Did n''t I tell you that I had figured this thing out to the fourth decimal place?
16630Did n''t your local people tell you?"
16630Did you catch and hold the pick- and- shovel men from this camp?
16630Do I understand that you wish to take the added risk of a night run, Mr. Colbrith?
16630Do n''t you see what they will say then?--that you were afraid?"
16630Do n''t you think we are getting too far behind the others?"
16630Do n''t you want the figures first?"
16630Do we go on?
16630Do you ask me to believe that Uncle Sidney is his accomplice?"
16630Do you attach any particular importance to the president''s trip over the extension?"
16630Do you ever have such instantaneous and unreasoning hatreds at first sight?"
16630Do you find the ten- thousand- foot breeze chilly?
16630Do you go direct from here?"
16630Do you imagine for a moment that you are the only engineer in the United States who can build railroads, Sir?"
16630Do you know what is to be done to- day?"
16630Do you know what that means?
16630Do you know what the men call him out on the main line?
16630Do you like it?"
16630Do you remember that fellow we saw riding in on the Jack''s Canyon trail as we were coming back this afternoon?"
16630Do you see anything of him?"
16630Do you suppose Mr. North will be content with your resignation now?"
16630Do you think I could make it win?"
16630Do you want to drive back as we came?
16630Does that clear up the doubt?"
16630Does the report satisfy you?"
16630Eckstein?"
16630Eckstein?"
16630Eckstein?"
16630Failing the dinner, wo n''t you make a knife and fork with us at one o''clock?"
16630Fifteen miles an hour?
16630Ford did not mean to be ungracious to her-- what lover ever means to be curt to the one woman in all the world?
16630Ford?"
16630Ford?"
16630Ford?"
16630Ford?"
16630Ford?"
16630Ford?"
16630Ford?"
16630Ford?"
16630Ford?"
16630Ford?"
16630Ford?"
16630Ford?"
16630Ford?"
16630Ford?"
16630Frisbie?"
16630From what I can learn, North has been an obstructor, all along, has n''t he?"
16630Good- by, sweetheart, and-- may I?"
16630Got that?"
16630Had anything to eat?"
16630Have I got to forfeit the money- making chance of a lifetime and go and drag that track into Copah with my own hands?"
16630Have n''t you ever had a touch of it?"
16630Have you ever stood on the front car platform of a train nearest to the engine and watched the jiggling draw- bar?
16630Have you got the compelling club up your sleeve, as usual?"
16630Have you seen the half- yearly report?"
16630Have you sent the Nadia back to Denver for repairs?"
16630Have you?"
16630He has done it more than once since we left the end- of- track, and this time--""Yes?"
16630He has n''t been very lenient with you, has he?"
16630His hand- bag chanced to be the exact counterpart of Ford''s: what more natural than that he should make the mistake of taking the wrong one?
16630His residence?
16630How about the grade work on the detour-- your new line into Copah?"
16630How do you suppose the present P. S- W. board would fare in such a fight?"
16630How do you think my proposition is likely to strike the board?"
16630How does that suit you?"
16630How far has this forcing business gone?
16630How is it with the rest of you?"
16630How is your engine-- pretty good on the broad jump?"
16630How many nights''sleep did you lose figuring that out?"
16630How much authority is a director allowed-- at this altitude and distance from New York?"
16630How much time did he give you to get out of pistol range?"
16630How much time have you been allowing for that?"
16630How near is it?"
16630How near shall I let him come before I squander one of the two remaining cartridges on him?"
16630How on earth did you manage to do it all at such long range?"
16630How would that be?
16630How would you like to take a hunting trip over on the wilderness side of the range?
16630I go over to da car and bring- a you da proof,_ si_?"
16630I presume you have no objection to going as my guest in the Naught- Seven?"
16630I wonder if Pacheco could n''t make himself an errand over the Pass in the morning?
16630I wonder if we could manage to cut in on that wire?"
16630I''m not posing as a saint, or even as a muck- raker; but is n''t something due to the people who are paying the bills?"
16630I-- I hope you hold a safe majority?"
16630In the hot part of it he came to me and said,''Adair, will that western extension of yours be able to fry any fat out of Transcontinental?''
16630In twenty minutes I shall be riding for the MacMorroghs''camp, and when I get there--""You are going to ride back?--alone?
16630Is it Misther Colbrith you''d be looking for?"
16630Is it right for me to step aside and let an organized system of graft and thievery go on unchecked?
16630Is n''t that about the way it strikes you?"
16630Is that about it?"
16630Is the bridge timber coming down all right now?"
16630Is the track safe for it?"
16630Is there any good reason, apart from the inconvenience, why our little pleasure party should n''t see your new railroad?
16630Is there anything new in that quarter?"
16630Is there nothing to be done?"
16630It was Frisbie, and he asked a single question:"Say, Penfield, who was that fellow who rode around to the MacMorroghs''back door just after dark?"
16630It was after they had chatted comfortably through to the coffee that the auditor said, blandly:"What are you down for, Ford?--anything special?"
16630Leckhard?"
16630Let me ask you: are you Mr. North''s man?"
16630Let''s see-- where were we?
16630Look down yonder at the Nadia-- wouldn''t that soothe you, now?"
16630MacMorrogh?"
16630Mackie?"
16630May I see the tip end of the club?"
16630Meanwhile, if these devils have scouts out--""Yes?"
16630Mr. Ford-- have you got this far into it without finding out?"
16630Mr. North is general manager, and I suppose his jurisdiction will now be extended to cover the new line, wo n''t it?"
16630Must we all stay in the car as you intimated yesterday?"
16630No?
16630North?"
16630Now find me that shorthand person quickly, will you?"
16630Oh, why in the name of the pitiful Christ do n''t they drop it and run?"
16630Or do we hang it up until we find out where we are''at''?"
16630Or has it concluded to lie down in the harness?"
16630Or is there a leak at our end of the line as well as at yours?"
16630Or will you let me find you an easier road to the mouth of Horse Creek?"
16630Or would the enemy devise some assault that would keep it down in spite of the money- earning, dividend- promising facts?
16630Or would they have to stop and turn out the wretched shovelmen again?
16630Over a construction track-- in the night?"
16630Please give orders accordingly, will you?"
16630Reckon we''ll get away from here before the old man throws a sure- enough fit?"
16630Say, Ford; does n''t that appeal to your sense of humor?"
16630Say, Johnson, what do you do when you want''em to run faster-- pull this string?"
16630Shall we call it a truce for the present?"
16630Shall we let it rest at that?"
16630Should he draw out of the losing battle with North and his fellow grafters, and thereby save his chance of winning Alicia Adair?
16630So on through half a dozen polite time- killers to the reluctant query: What could the general manager do for Mr. Adair?
16630Suppose you come up to the club and have luncheon with me?"
16630That is fifty dollars fine in your native Tennessee, is n''t it?"
16630That will bring things to a focus beautifully, wo n''t it?
16630That would be in accordance with your point of view, would n''t it?"
16630The question is, will he attempt to run the extension to- night?"
16630The vice- president decided swiftly that Eckstein was the man; but how to get him to the MacMorrogh headquarters before Adair should arrive?
16630Their bid was the lowest, was n''t it?"
16630Then Mr. Colbrith is n''t alone?"
16630Then again to Ford:"What is to be done about the Riley mix- up?"
16630Then he added:"You are not having any trouble with the MacMorroghs, are you?"
16630Then he looked up to say:"What was Ford doing at Horse Creek that night?
16630Then he said:"Is it possible that you had Penfield for a spy on you as long as you did without working out his cipher code?
16630Then suddenly:"Where is your mine?--the mine with my name?"
16630Then, and not until then, Adair said:"Is that all, for the present?
16630Then:"She has money?"
16630Then:"There''s the two naygurs in the car: what av thim, Misther Eckstein?"
16630There was genuine human interest in her voice when she said gently:"Would you mind telling me about it?"
16630To be able to buy what your neighbor can not afford?"
16630Was Gallagher''s engine still on the rails?"
16630Was I rude?
16630Was Mr. Ford''s business of a routine nature?
16630Was it before or after your purchase here that you decided upon the change of route?
16630Well, then what happens?
16630What are these-- er-- perquisites?"
16630What are they for?"
16630What are we waiting for?"
16630What became of Mr. Garcia afterward?"
16630What did it matter to any one if he chose to put ten thousand of the sixty- odd on a turn of the Little Alicia card?
16630What do we do?"
16630What do you say?
16630What do you say?"
16630What has come over you?"
16630What if the stock should not go up as prefigured?--if the bonds could not be floated?
16630What is the inference?"
16630What is the matter with the MacMorroghs?"
16630What is the matter with us-- specifically, I mean?"
16630What is the matter with your prescription?
16630What is this terrible man doing out here?"
16630What made you change your mind?"
16630What possible difference could it make?"
16630What shall you say to him?"
16630What the devil is he back here for?
16630What was delaying him?
16630What was happening then?"
16630What were your reasons, Stuart?"
16630What would Alicia say?
16630What''s the matter with a trusty go- between?"
16630What''s the news from New York?"
16630What''s the use of your being the assistant to the president, I''d like to know?"
16630What''s this I hear about an accident at Horse Creek?
16630What''s to prevent their making that traffic contract with the Mormon people right now?"
16630When am I to be allowed to chase in and pay my respects to your-- er-- aunt, and-- and Miss Alicia?"
16630When did you become interested in this mine?"]
16630When do you go back to your fighting ground?"
16630When it was once more in full swing, she asked quickly:"What is the programme for to- day?
16630When they have blown us up, I wonder how they will account to Uncle Sidney for the loss of his car?"
16630Where do you suppose all those people came from?"
16630Where have you been?"
16630Who gave you leave to fall in love with my little sister, I''d like to know?"
16630Who is Riley''s interpreter now?"
16630Who is in the Nadia, besides Ford?"
16630Who knows but I shall have time to save the day for the company after all?
16630Who sniped it, do you suppose?"
16630Who''s got a gun?"
16630Why are you so foolish as to talk about resigning?
16630Why did n''t you say that at first?
16630Why do n''t you come to life and answer''em?"
16630Why do n''t you go up to the Brown and have it out with him?"
16630Why is n''t Ford on the ground attending to his railroad building and straightening things out?
16630Will it not relieve you of all responsibility if you will call a meeting of the directors, and let me lay this absurd proposal of mine before it?
16630Will you come?
16630Will you order this car out, or shall I?"
16630Will your assassin keep on feeling for you?"
16630Wo n''t you please try and keep him going?"
16630Would it be necessary to discharge somebody in order to have his commands obeyed?
16630Would n''t that make you weep and howl?"
16630Would the pressure suffice for the final dash which should clear the cutting?
16630Would the stock go up?
16630XX THE CONSPIRATORS"How far do we go, and what do we do when we get there?"
16630You can do that without stopping trains, ca n''t you?"
16630You do, do n''t you?"
16630You expected something of the sort, did n''t you?"
16630You may remember that I told you I had left a man in my place on the Plug Mountain-- Frisbie?
16630You said he was in England, did n''t you?"
16630You wished to join the party in the Nadia?"
16630You would n''t believe it of a grown man, would you?"
16630You would n''t want to see Mr. Ford getting it in the neck, would you?"
16630You''re sure it wo n''t be given away from the New York end?"
16630[ Illustration: Eckstein''s pencil had stopped and he was gasping for breath]"Why not?"
16630have n''t you good and plenty, without calling upon me?
16630what are you doing here?"
16630what are you going to do?"
20155''Member the mill, when he burn down?
20155A bit melodramatic, are n''t you?
20155A doctor?
20155A friend of mine?
20155A mill?
20155A priest?
20155A right?
20155About the murder?
20155About what, Agnes?
20155About what?
20155Ah, why? 20155 Ah,_ oui_?"
20155And I signed these, did I?
20155And are you chattel?
20155And has he, what you say, come to?
20155And he?
20155And the taxi- driver? 20155 And the woman-- she has caused no trouble?"
20155And who has been bringing you flowers?
20155And you are not afraid?
20155And you are willing to sign it?
20155And you''re tacklin''it for the first time at this season o''th''year?
20155And you-- was it your fault?
20155Anybody sick?
20155Are you afraid?
20155Are you from a newspaper?
20155Ask him,''Do you like me better than anybody you ever--''"What sense is there to all this?
20155At the mill? 20155 Awake?"
20155Barry,she asked,"what day''s to- morrow?"
20155Beg pardon?
20155Boston? 20155 Both?"
20155But I am-- don''t you believe me?
20155But how am I going to get to the other side of the range? 20155 But is that any of my affair?"
20155But it shall not be, eh?
20155But they are available then?
20155But what can they do on five acres? 20155 But what with, Ba''tiste?
20155But what, Ba''tiste? 20155 But why should trees grow spikes?"
20155But why the spikes?
20155But why? 20155 But why?"
20155But you have n''t given it up?
20155Can you-- will you forgive me?
20155Coals of fire, eh?
20155Come in here, will you? 20155 Could you tell if a man cut a tree to get the greatest footage?
20155Crestline?
20155Did you speak?
20155Do n''t I? 20155 Do n''t you know your name?"
20155Do n''t you know?
20155Do n''t you think,he asked, as they walked along,"that you''d better be going back?
20155Do you know it?
20155Do you know it?
20155Do you like me?
20155Do you live out here?
20155Do you remember yet who you are?
20155Do you stand in the cup of his hand that he shall tell you when to rise and when to sit, when to walk and where to go?
20155Do you suppose it would help?
20155Do you want help?
20155Eet is the lie, eh?
20155Eh, Medaine?
20155Even if she told hidden things?
20155Even though you should happen to be the bone of contention-- and the butt of what may be a good deal of unpleasant newspaper notoriety?
20155Ever made it before?
20155Gas?
20155Give it up?
20155Given in the presence of the sheriff, of Ba''tiste Renaud, of myself, and the various citizens of Tabernacle that you see here?
20155Given up?
20155Gone? 20155 Gone?
20155Good? 20155 Grateful?
20155Has he shown any signs yet?
20155Have I a manager?
20155Have I one?
20155Have they been gone long?
20155Have you given him his directions?
20155Have you read that message?
20155Have you seen them?
20155He is the man, eh? 20155 He knows all about it?"
20155He was your cousin?
20155He? 20155 Hidden?
20155Hiding? 20155 Honestly, Ba''tiste?"
20155Honestly? 20155 Honestly?
20155How about hay for the cattle?
20155How big?
20155How can I help it?
20155How do you know there''ll be a next time?
20155How long are you going to be in town?
20155How you intend to fin''this out?
20155How''d you get hurt?
20155How,she asked the question as though with an effort,"how were you cleared?"
20155How? 20155 Huh?
20155Hunch, you mean?
20155I have n''t made any objection, have I?
20155I suppose I''m never to see anything of you?
20155I wonder--it was a hope, but a faint one--"if she could be coming back to make amends, Ba''tiste?
20155I''m better-- see? 20155 I''ve been sick-- my baby-- where''s my baby?"
20155I? 20155 I?
20155I? 20155 I?
20155I?
20155If you do n''t mind? 20155 In court?
20155Indeed?
20155Is eet that some of us do our part, while others store up for emergency? 20155 Is eet that the world is all unjust?"
20155Is it fair to believe only one side of a thing?
20155Is n''t it a bad bet, Ba''tiste? 20155 Is n''t it lonely?"
20155Is the''phone working-- to Montview?
20155Is there ever a time when the operator is n''t there?
20155Is to- morrow time enough?
20155It could n''t be that he''s made some arrangement with her-- about her forest lands?
20155Know anything about firin''an engine?
20155May I bring her here, to repeat that before me? 20155 May I talk to him privately?
20155Mebbe you make love?
20155Medaine? 20155 Medaine?
20155Medaine?
20155Miss Jierdon is the same one who is out here?
20155Mr. Mason? 20155 Murder?
20155Murdering him?
20155My margin of profit? 20155 Need any food?"
20155No? 20155 No?
20155Nor the M''sieu Blackburn? 20155 Not past Tollifer?"
20155Of what?
20155Of your own free will, without threats or violence?
20155Oh, is it?
20155On good terms, are n''t you? 20155 On the Death Trail?
20155One- eleven-- kicked over?
20155One? 20155 Our flume?"
20155Out here? 20155 Over Hazard Pass?
20155Over Hazard?
20155Perhaps M''sieu Thayer has studied the practice of medicine?
20155Practically the same thing, are n''t they? 20155 Probably coming out to look over things, then?"
20155Proof? 20155 Queer question, is n''t it?"
20155Rawlins?
20155Remember what?
20155Sarcastic, are n''t you?
20155See anything in my palm besides thorns?
20155See, Golemar? 20155 See?
20155See?
20155She does n''t know any one but Thayer-- and what if she does? 20155 She had died?"
20155She is like the Judas, eh?
20155She testified in your behalf?
20155She? 20155 Signs?
20155Simple, is n''t it?
20155So? 20155 So?
20155So?
20155So?
20155So?
20155Sorry? 20155 That''s a--""See, sheriff?
20155That''s all true, is n''t it, Thayer?
20155That''s his writing, is n''t it?
20155Thayer''s been going with Medaine a good deal, has n''t he?
20155The Blackburn crowd?
20155The copy? 20155 The district attorney?"
20155The name, please?
20155The new road? 20155 The notice?
20155The one that''s tunneling Carrow Peak? 20155 The snow?"
20155Then Thayer--"Why not?
20155Then it is n''t history?
20155Then what can it be?
20155Then why did n''t you produce them at the trial?
20155Then will you please allow me to give you twelve thousand dollars in profits? 20155 Then you noticed no one around the place?"
20155Then you''ll be with them?
20155Then, what are you kicking about?
20155There would n''t be any chance at the tunnel either, would there? 20155 They''re not going to do it-- it''s the M. P.& S. L.""Through the tunnel?"
20155They''ve--?
20155This one''s the same, is n''t it?
20155To France?
20155Was that heem talking?
20155Well, boy, what is it this time?
20155Well, then, who are you?
20155Well,she asked, in a sudden fawning manner,"are n''t you glad to see me, Barry?
20155Well? 20155 Well?
20155Well?
20155Were you really fooling, Ba''tiste-- or shall we continue?
20155What contracts have we in the files?
20155What day is to- morrow?
20155What day is tomorrow?
20155What do you mean?
20155What have you got there?
20155What in thunder is the big idea?
20155What is there to do?
20155What on earth can it all mean?
20155What right? 20155 What shall I do?
20155What she say?
20155What was the idea?
20155What with?
20155What you do?
20155What you know about lumber?
20155What you mean?
20155What''s been going on here?
20155What''s happened? 20155 What''s that?"
20155What''s the use of taking me into town?
20155What''s this mean?
20155What''s wrong about that? 20155 What''s wrong?"
20155What?
20155What?
20155When is all this going to happen?
20155When would I get there-- if I could make the Pass all right?
20155Where are you staying?
20155Where did you find it? 20155 Where do you get that''our''idea?
20155Where on earth am I going to live, Barry?
20155Where you get that? 20155 Where?"
20155Where?
20155Which car does the engine crews sleep in?
20155Who is this man?
20155Who? 20155 Who?"
20155Who?
20155Who?
20155Whose would you think it was?
20155Why not?
20155Why not?
20155Why not?
20155Why not?
20155Why they no come, huh?
20155Why you look so funny? 20155 Why?
20155Why?
20155Why?
20155Why?
20155Why?
20155Why?
20155Why?
20155Will you give me a promise-- if I give you one?
20155Will you go with me while I telegraph?
20155Will you?
20155Wonder if she''s bringing them to me?
20155Would you care to go to the village to- night? 20155 You ca n''t use your other hand, can you?"
20155You can let it out and sell the stumpage if you want to?
20155You do come over here often, do n''t you?
20155You do n''t believe it? 20155 You got my telegram?"
20155You hate me, do n''t you?
20155You hear heem?
20155You hear, Golemar?
20155You know a lot-- and you want the rest, so you can pay me back, do n''t you? 20155 You know your own writing, do n''t you?"
20155You like her, eh? 20155 You mean your brain?"
20155You never learned with what murder case it was connected?
20155You payin''attention to me-- or that guy they''re cartin''off? 20155 You see M''sieu Thayer?
20155You spoke of a suit you might bring when you came in here?
20155You sure?
20155You understand, Thayer, that this is your written confession?
20155You understood me?
20155You would rather eat alone?
20155You''d admit it if you saw it?
20155You''ll tell about what?
20155You''re not ill?
20155You''re not,and the old lawyer smiled quizzically,"going to favor your dearly beloved friend with the order, are you?"
20155You''re still working on the engine?
20155You''ve got me, have n''t you, Barry?
20155You-- don''t-- say, you''re Barry Houston, are n''t you?
20155You-- you do n''t know who the men were?
20155Your story?
20155_ Veritas_? 20155 A moment later--How''s the patient?"
20155A thunderous voice was booming belligerently from the distance:"You lie-- un''stan''?
20155Ah, no?
20155Ai n''t daft, are you?"
20155Am I right, or am I wrong, when I say that you were striving very hard, for a record that would aid you in the election?"
20155Am I?"
20155And Thayer must be combatted-- but how?
20155And are n''t you taking on the biggest sort of job now?"
20155And does Ba''teese need proof?
20155And if she keeps her promise--""She?"
20155And if there is something in his past to be ashamed of, is n''t it best that we simply remain that way?
20155And the other name?"
20155And the words seem to come unbidden:"Does it matter?"
20155And then who will build a railroad switch that can negotiate the hills to the mill?"
20155And to have M''sieu Thayer take his place?
20155And when did M''sieu Thayer become_ l''M''sieu Doctaire_?
20155And who should be more willing than he?
20155And why should you ask?
20155Any of you ever been there?"
20155Are n''t you going to kiss me?"
20155Are there any stumpage contracts?"
20155Are you all alone?"
20155Are you still willing-- now?"
20155Are you sure you do n''t remember anything--?"
20155At last:"What is it?"
20155At last:"You like her, eh?"
20155Ba''tiste,"he called softly,"what kind of an operator is this fellow?"
20155Barry Houston, huh?
20155But Ba''teese--""What?"
20155But I know that I''ve not given any lease, and I''ve not sold any stumpage and--""Then, what''s this?"
20155But does Ba''teese stop?
20155But has he?
20155But if you don''t-- Ba''tiste, how much of it do you mean when you say you are a man''s friend?"
20155But in the absence of any one else, what should a person think?"
20155But now--"She-- she did n''t tell you anything before she went?"
20155But perhaps you know the whole story?"
20155But so far--""Yes?"
20155But the cold voice of Thayer cut in:"And he has n''t regained consciousness?"
20155But the villager had repeated his question:"Do n''t belong around here?"
20155But wait-- where does the Father live?"
20155But we gamble, eh,_ mon_ Baree?"
20155But what else?"
20155But would such a statement hold in court?
20155But would that time arrive soon enough?
20155But you say you no know lumber?"
20155But--""And you say two other cars have gone through?"
20155But--""_ Oui_?"
20155CHAPTER VII"Why?"
20155Ca n''t I keep them just the same-- to put on the table or something?"
20155Could you know if the sawyer robbed you of fifty feet on ever''log?
20155Did I?
20155Did n''t Ba''tiste tell you?
20155Did n''t any one see?"
20155Did you ever lie all day and listen to the wind shriek, waiting for somebody who did n''t come-- with your dead baby in your arms?
20155Do n''t feel that way about it?
20155Do n''t you know what that means?
20155Do n''t you remember, sir; you signed it, together with a lease for the flume site and lake?"
20155Do n''t you remember?"
20155Do n''t you?
20155Do n''t you?"
20155Do we understand each other?"
20155Do you know any one named Jenkins, who is a notary public?"
20155Do you mean a complete outfit,--planers and all that sort of thing?"
20155Do you promise?"
20155Do you remember my case?"
20155Do you suppose they''ve given it up?
20155Do you understand?"
20155Do you want me to die too-- or do you want me to live and tell you why I did the things I did?
20155Do you want to add murder to murder?
20155Do you want to know who was back of everything?
20155Do you want to punish me more?
20155Do you?
20155Does Ba''teese fol''his hands?
20155Eh, Golemar?"
20155Eh, Golemar?"
20155Eh?
20155Eh?
20155Eh?
20155Eh?
20155Eh?"
20155Eh?"
20155Golemar, you hear, eh?
20155Got me?"
20155Guess you forgot your identity for a minute, did n''t you?
20155Had he been the man in the woods,--the one who had stood silhouetted on the hill top?
20155Had it been Worthington?
20155Had it been a ruse?
20155Had she recovered?
20155Had she too gone to Tollifer, perhaps on a later trip of the plow?
20155Had the excuse of a headache been made only to cover feelings that had been deeply injured?
20155Has anything happened to Agnes?"
20155Has something gone wrong?"
20155Have I taken that down correctly, Thayer?"
20155Have he fool heem too?"
20155Have n''t I always been near you when you''ve needed me?
20155Have n''t I had punishment enough?
20155Have you food enough for Hurd''s?"
20155Have you talked to her?"
20155He had been right then; the message had not been for him; instead it had been intended decidedly_ not_ for him and it meant-- what?
20155He turned at last to Ba''tiste, to ask tritely what he knew could not be answered:"But how did it happen, Ba''tiste?
20155He understands English?"
20155Hear me, where you get that?"
20155Hear that?
20155Heh?
20155Houston bit down a retort and forced himself to the question:"How long will it take you to get out of here?"
20155How big a telegraph office is there at Tabernacle?"
20155How many of you will go?"
20155How much of the lake does she own?"
20155How''d you find him?"
20155Huh?
20155Huh?"
20155I did n''t continually ask you for the name of the man you''d killed?
20155I do n''t act crazy, or anything like that, do I?"
20155I do n''t remember--""Did n''t I tell you?"
20155I have n''t given them--""You''re the owner of the land, are n''t you?"
20155I say to Golemar,''We will closer go,_ ne c''est pas_?''
20155I speak to him when I meet him; is n''t that enough?
20155I suppose you''ll go to Denver in the morning for new saws?"
20155I-- did he tell?"
20155I--""Do you hear anything from Crestline-- about conditions up there?"
20155I--""That was your child, then?"
20155I--?"
20155If you should say to a lumberjack to fell a tree at the spring of the root, would you know whether he did it or not?
20155If you''ll only--""Would you guarantee the truth of anything she should tell me?"
20155In the first place, how had Thayer known that he was on the way from the East?
20155In the meanwhile--"he turned anxiously, almost piteously,"do you care to go with me, Ba''tiste?"
20155Is eet putty that you are made of?
20155Is eet that you are afraid?
20155Is eet that your teeth are on your tongue, to keep eet from the truth?
20155Is he a friend?"
20155Is it hers?"
20155Is n''t that right?
20155Is n''t that the truth?
20155Is she here?
20155Is that agreeable?"
20155Is that it?"
20155Is that right?"
20155Is that sufficient evidence that I know what I''m talking about?"
20155It does n''t seem quite natural--""What?"
20155It''s May, is n''t it?"
20155It''s been five or six hours now, has n''t it?"
20155Live hereabouts--?"
20155M''sieu Houston shall bid lower than--""How, Ba''tiste?"
20155Make love to him?"
20155Many time I have seen it--"he waved a hand--"across the way,_ ne c''est pas_?
20155May I ask you what your margin of profit is at your machinery company?"
20155May I inquire if on that night you saw Fred Thayer?"
20155May I see her?"
20155Maybe I can walk over there; it''s only a mile or two, is n''t it?"
20155Mebbe they think they whip us,_ oui_?
20155Mebbe--"he said it hopefully,"mebbe you like Medaine, huh?"
20155No?
20155Now what you want me to do?"
20155Now, is n''t that the truth?"
20155Now,"as though the subject had been dismissed,"what mus''Ba''teese do?"
20155Now-- what is it you look for?"
20155Of what?"
20155Of what?"
20155Or had it meant a blind to veil real, serious illness?
20155See that there little puff o''smoke?
20155See?
20155See?"
20155See?"
20155Shall we take the chance?"
20155Shall we tell heem, eh?
20155Take her to a priest-- please, Barry-- for what you once thought I was?
20155Take my baby--""And keep your secret, Agnes?
20155Tell me--"and there was the politeness of emergency in her tones--"is there any need for women in Tabernacle?
20155That is-- if you really want to go through with it?"
20155That was she I heard talking?"
20155That''s all right, is n''t it, Thayer?"
20155That''s the way you gave it to me, is n''t it, Thayer?"
20155That''s your name, huh?
20155Thayer?
20155The Blackburn crowd has n''t given up the ghost yet?"
20155The bid?"
20155The voice went on,"Gained consciousness yet?"
20155The woman had turned angrily toward Barry;"What right has he to talk this way?
20155Then I slept, did n''t I?"
20155Then he rose at a call from without:"Are you ready?"
20155Then take this message to every newspaper in the city:"''Ca n''t you help us?
20155Then the voice came, rumbling, yet pleasant:"He no remember, eh?"
20155Then, as he started away,"May I see you, Ba''tiste, sometime to- night?"
20155Then, at last, forcing himself to the subject, Houston asked a question:"Where is he?"
20155Then, by''m''by, Jacques Robinette come too, with his petite Medaine--""That''s the girl who was here?"
20155Then, his mouth full of crisply fried bacon, he waved a hand and spluttered with a sudden inspiration:"What you do, now?"
20155Then,"But Ba''-teese he know-- see?"
20155Then--""Yes?"
20155Then:"Are you afraid-- of yourself?"
20155Then:"Do you know the Pass?"
20155There came a murmur, almost whispered:"Wonder what the damn fool came out here about?
20155There is n''t another mill around here?"
20155There''s clothing?"
20155They''re--""Have I asked you about anything?"
20155Twentieth, is n''t it?"
20155Un''stan''?
20155Un''stan''?
20155Un''stan''?
20155Un''stand?
20155Understand?"
20155Wait-- will you give me a chance at something?"
20155Want to walk a piece down the road-- with me, Medaine?"
20155Was she honest?
20155Was she sincere?
20155We are the watchmen, yes?"
20155We have to build the new plant, yes,_ oui_?
20155We might do that, but how on earth would we ever keep up with the rest?
20155We shall take Medaine,_ oui_?
20155What I say to you?
20155What did he say?
20155What do you know about Thayer?"
20155What do you mean?"
20155What do you suppose it can mean?
20155What had become of Medaine?
20155What on earth will we do it with?"
20155What say?"
20155What was the deal?"
20155What were you going to say?"
20155What''s gone wrong?"
20155What''s that to me?"
20155What''s that?
20155What''s that?"
20155What''s the money for; running expenses?"
20155What''s the result?
20155When he spoke, Barry thought that he discerned a tone of enthusiasm, of hope:"Do they ever get over it?"
20155When that shall be?
20155When''s he coming again?"
20155Where is Miss Jierdon?
20155Where is the gun with which she shot her?
20155Where the money to keep things going?
20155Where then is the ten thousand dollar she took-- if she kill my Julienne?
20155Where was the machinery to be obtained?
20155Where will they get their lumber?"
20155Where you headed for?"
20155Where''s the axe?
20155Where''s the notice?"
20155Where?
20155Where?"
20155Who is n''t, on the bottom of his feet?"
20155Who''s J. C. Blackburn of Chicago?"
20155Whose is it?"
20155Why had it not been used against him?
20155Why not?
20155Why should you stand with a frown on your face?
20155Why you act like that when I talk about murder?
20155Why you do eet?"
20155Why you get pale, huh?
20155Why you get pale--?"
20155Why you get pale?"
20155Why?
20155Why?
20155Why?"
20155Why?"
20155Why?"
20155Why?"
20155Will you help strap her to my pack?"
20155Will you lend me Lost Wing to run an errand?
20155Will you please take my message?"
20155Will you tell her?"
20155Will you--?"
20155With a hundred kinds of birds to keep things going?
20155With the trout leaping in the streams in the summer time, and a good gun in the hollow of your arm in the winter?
20155Wo n''t you promise for me?
20155Wo n''t you, Barry?
20155Wo n''t you?
20155Wonder if he''s wise?"
20155Wonder what I''m stepping into?"
20155Would it be impertinent to ask where you had been?"
20155Would they have enough men?
20155Yes-- what this mean?
20155Yes?
20155Yes?
20155Yes?"
20155You ca n''t even remember the night you murdered your own cousin, can you?"
20155You ca n''t remember when all this happened?"
20155You came from Boston?"
20155You do n''t remember what time of the year it was, or how long ago?"
20155You do n''t think he had anything to do with it?"
20155You fellows are going to sleep in town to- night, ai n''t you?"
20155You go Boston to- night?"
20155You have no seen the M''sieu Thayer during all the storm?"
20155You have no seen them?"
20155You have trouble?
20155You hear Ba''teese, huh?
20155You hear, Golemar?"
20155You hear?"
20155You heard what that fellow said-- that they had the woods, the lake and the flume to use as they pleased?
20155You know heem?"
20155You know that, do n''t you?"
20155You know the way back?
20155You like the petite Medaine?"
20155You mean he''s run away?"
20155You no like Thayer?"
20155You no nev''see her before?"
20155You see people here today,_ oui_, yes?
20155You see those people?
20155You see, the petite Medaine?
20155You think she is the angel, yes,_ oui_?
20155You think there is no chance, eh?
20155You want me to tell, do n''t you?
20155You wanted a conviction-- wasn''t that it?"
20155You will sleep here?"
20155You worry, huh?
20155You''ll take good care of him?"
20155You''ll tell her why I came out here-- you''ll tell her about the baby, wo n''t you?
20155You''ve been taking care of her, have n''t you?
20155You-- you have n''t fired me, have you?"
20155You-- you''re not going to let it stay there?
20155You?
20155Your memory came back awful quick, did n''t it?
20155_ Bon_?
20155_ Ne c''est pas_, Medaine?"
20155_ Ne c''est pas_?
20155_ Oui_, yes?
20155_ Oui_?
20155_ Oui_?
20155_ Oui_?
20155he demanded, in an echo of Ba''tiste''s own thundering manner,"shall we stand here and weep?
40607A friend of yours?
40607A missionary? 40607 A reverend doctor?"
40607Afraid?
40607Again? 40607 Ai n''t I got a few vit me?

40607Are n''t you going to use it?
40607Are you sure he''s a nice man?
40607Are you sure?
40607Awf''lly kind of you,said Wedgewood,"but how do you make that out?"
40607Ba- ath tub?
40607Boiled or fried?
40607Brile coup- hic- le?
40607But a man ca n''t change his name by marrying, can he? 40607 But are n''t there quite a few of them?"
40607But ca n''t you hook me up?
40607But for Dr. Temple of all people----"Why should n''t a doctor? 40607 But here''s the license-- see?"
40607But how can I telegraph him? 40607 But how can I?
40607But to oblige me? 40607 But what if she brings her mother along?
40607But what if your former wife or my former husband should have a detective on board?
40607But what will the country do without you?
40607But whatever does one do in the meanwhile?
40607But where are the bride and groom?
40607But you said you were sure?
40607But your bib?
40607But, Harry, you would n''t desert me now-- abandon me to my fate?
40607But, darling,he pleaded,"you ca n''t desert me now, and leave me to go on alone?"
40607Ca n''t you go a little faster?
40607Ca n''t you go a little faster?
40607Charlie Selby?
40607Cigars?
40607Could I see it?
40607Could n''t we have it served here?
40607Could n''t you have slipped into her car last night and stolen it?
40607Could n''t you wait over one train-- just one tiny little train?
40607Could you marry us in this smoking room?
40607Crawl in the icewater tank?
40607D- did I give you a baygled branglet?
40607D- did he accept?
40607Darling, you ca n''t desert me now,he pleaded,"and leave me to go on alone?"

40607Do n''t you know?
40607Do n''t you remember that evening in the moonlight?
40607Do n''t you remember? 40607 Do n''t you see?"
40607Do n''t you think it looks kind of improbable on-- on-- such an occasion?
40607Do n''t you think we''d better tell everybody before they begin to talk?
40607Do n''t you?
40607Do we come to a station stop soon?
40607Do we dare?
40607Do you know the''Wedding March''?

40607Good morning, who?

40607Great heavens, how shall we ever pay him? 40607 Hang the parson,"Wedgewood repeated,"Who''s the gel?"
40607Has poor little hubby missed his poor old wife?
40607Have I got to be locked up in that pigeon- hole for-- for how many days is it to Reno?
40607Have I got to go to bed now? 40607 Have some rice for the bridal couple?"
40607Have you any last message to send home to your mother?

40607Honestly? 40607 How about a little freeze- out?"
40607How can I get it away?
40607How can you tell?

40607If she comes-- tell her-- tell her-- oh, what shall we tell her?

40607Indeed I''m not-- not for worlds, honey, but I''ve got to get that train, have n''t I?
40607Is Ma- mamma with you?
40607Is he going to die?
40607Is n''t it?
40607Is n''t there another lower berth?
40607Is papa on this train, too?
40607Is that all? 40607 Is that so?
40607Is that the eye?
40607Is they anything else?
40607It certainly does,Mallory assented, bitterly; then again, with zest:"Let me see that old bracelet, will you?"
40607It''s a mean old world, is n''t it?
40607Join you in what, sir?
40607Just what are we in Nevada?
40607Lasted till the train started? 40607 Lieutenant Mallory, eh?
40607Marjorie, how can you think such a thing?
40607Mattie?
40607May I have a word with you?
40607May I hook you?
40607May you-- what? 40607 Me, too?"
40607Meanwhile, Porter, could you give him something to eat to distract him?
40607Missionary? 40607 My dear what?"
40607My dog?
40607My what?
40607No longer?
40607No small change, or nothin''?
40607Now, Lucretia,he protested,"do n''t you think you''re carrying this pretty far?"
40607Oh, Harry, has your love grown cold?
40607Oh, I need you, do I? 40607 Oh, Ira, again?"
40607Oh, Mr. Lathrop,she stammered--"Ira,"she corrected,"wo n''t you please hook me up?"
40607Oh, ai n''t they hideous, them handsome women?
40607Oh, how can you say that? 40607 Oh, is she?
40607Oh, my poor little darling,Mrs. Jimmie fluttered,"What on earth ails you?"
40607Oh, no, it is n''t, and if it is, how do I know I''m to be your last love? 40607 Oh, porter, have you seen anybody that looks like a detective in disguise?"
40607Oh, what''s the use?
40607Oh, what''s up?
40607Oh, yes,said Anne,"How do you do, Charlie?"
40607Oh, you have, have you? 40607 Oh, you know that, do you?"
40607Papers, gents and ladies? 40607 Papers, gents?
40607Please marry me soon,she implored,"wo n''t you, please?"
40607Porter, have you seen anybody on board that looks suspicious?
40607Rather good joke on you fellows, what?
40607Really? 40607 Related?"
40607Reno?
40607Reno?
40607Retire?--before all the car?
40607San Francisco? 40607 Say, are you the porter of this car, or that man''s nurse?"
40607Sit down here a moment, wo n''t you?
40607Six days old? 40607 So did I,"said Ira Lathrop, leaning closer, and beaming like a big sun:"I do n''t suppose you remember Ira Lathrop?"
40607So you''ll let a dog come between us?
40607Suppose she has n''t the bracelet on?
40607Thanks,Mallory said, and put out his hand:"Will you return the bracelet?"
40607Thanks,said Marjorie, bashfully,"I was looking for my-- my----""Husband?"
40607The Mallorys?
40607The what?
40607Then what do you want with an extra wife? 40607 They-- who?"
40607They-- who?
40607This tie, this green tie, is n''t this the one I knitted you?
40607To get it? 40607 Two fifty- five A.M.?"
40607Vell, in the foist place----"''The foist place,''eh? 40607 Vell, you''ve got maybe some beggetch, some trunks-- yes?"
40607Vy do you vant it a cloigyman? 40607 Was I?"
40607Was n''t it good?
40607Was she ever true to you, porter?
40607Was you ever in Moline?
40607We never shall have a harsh word, shall we?
40607We''re in Utah?
40607Well, can you open beer?
40607Well, if a grown man offers me a half- fare ticket, I guess that''s a pretty good sign, ai n''t it?
40607Well, my boy----"Your minister-- after you get through with him-- may I use him?
40607Well, stupid, do n''t you see? 40607 Well, then, did n''t you ever marry a woman?"
40607Well, why do n''t you do something?
40607Well, why in thunder did n''t you say so?
40607Were you ever a broken- hearted man, porter?
40607Whass zis about brile couple?
40607What ails you?
40607What are you going to do?
40607What did he look like?
40607What do I care?
40607What do you care? 40607 What do you mean, Harry?"
40607What for?
40607What good is that?
40607What if we should miss the minister?
40607What kind of a woman?
40607What name would they be in, miss?
40607What on earth makes you so anxious?
40607What time are we due in San Francisco?
40607What time d''you say we get to Reno?
40607What time does this bally train start?
40607What will be your address?
40607What would they say in Ypsilanti?
40607What you so anxious to be in Utah for, Fosdick?
40607What''s a career to a man who truly loves?
40607What''s happened-- are you killed?
40607What''s that? 40607 What''s that?"
40607What''s that?
40607What''s the matter now?
40607What''s the matter now?
40607What''s the matter with the bridal couples on this train, anyway?
40607What-- again?
40607When?
40607Where are the pills that go with it?
40607Where are you going?
40607Where did you get that love of a waist?
40607Where do you get the parson?
40607Where''s that infernal buffet waiter?
40607Where''s that? 40607 Where''s the conductor?"
40607Wherever did you pick up the bride?
40607Which one will you be on?
40607Who ai n''t I? 40607 Who cares?"
40607Who''s moving?
40607Whom did you expect?
40607Why do n''t you and your husband drop off and take the next train?
40607Why should n''t I?
40607Why should n''t you?
40607Why, Harry Mallory, are you getting ready to jilt me?
40607Why, I do n''t hate anybody, do you?
40607Why-- my dear!--where''s your wedding ring?
40607Will we?
40607Will you call my--she gulped--"my husband?"
40607Will you take breakfast with me-- in the dining- car?
40607With your husband here?
40607Wo n''t she?
40607Woman- hater?
40607Would you mind teaching me the rules?
40607Yes, Marjorie?
40607Yes-- a-- a preacher?
40607Yes; cigarettes are too strong for me; will you try one of my pets?
40607Yo''what-- missus?
40607You are with your husband, are n''t you?
40607You did wish it on, did n''t you?
40607You do n''t perform marriages, do you?
40607You go on to''Frisco, do n''t you?
40607You have n''t left the army, have you?
40607You here yet?
40607You''ve ceased to love me,he protested,"just because of a little affair I had before I met you?"
40607Young man,he pleaded across the back of a seat,"will you kindly lend me a gun?"
40607A minister always turns up to administer the last something or other-- well----""Well?"
40607After he heard this, it did not sound entirely felicitous, so he grudgingly ventured:"Excuse me-- you married?"
40607Ah, I see you vant to marry a nice divorcee lady in R- r- reno?"
40607Ai n''t I a justice of the peaces?"
40607And he yelled:"Say, whose durn dog is this?
40607And now nothing could check his swagger, as he said to Mallory:"What shall we do with these dam- ned sinners?"
40607And now she was off on a new tack:"And where are you bound for, Harry, dear?"
40607And seeing the porter, he beckoned him close and asked with careless indifference:"Oh, Porter, what time do we reach the Iowa state line?"
40607And then Mrs. Whitcomb pushed them both aside:"Pardon me, wo n''t you?
40607And then temptation whispered him its old"Why not?"
40607And who are you?"
40607Are n''t they going to flop the rice- trap?"
40607Are you trying to crow?"
40607As he turned to obey, Mrs. Whitcomb checked him with:"Oh, Porter, could you get us a hammer and some nails?"
40607Ashton sang out:"What''s the matter with you, Porter?
40607Ashton seized him, shook him, and muttered:"What the-- what''s the matter with you?"
40607Ashton wailed:"Have we got to sit here and die of thirst till then?"
40607Ashton was the first to speak:"Say, Porter, can you mix drinks?"
40607At length he produced the ticket, and thrust it at the porter:"Thah, you idiot, are you convinced now?"
40607At this point he caromed over into Ira Lathrop''s berth and was welcomed with a savage roar:"What the devil''s the matter with you?"
40607Beckoning him closer, Mallory mumbled in a low tone:"Is there an extra berth on this car?"
40607Besides, what business was it of this young husband''s what her old husband''s business was?
40607But I''m not speaking of----""But suppose he should bite him?"
40607But Marjorie was up and away, with apt temper:"So Mattie was in the box, was she?
40607But evidently some greater fear goaded her, for she gasped:"Ca n''t he go a little faster?"
40607But first, will the conductor take those bags and distribute the contents to their rightful owners?"
40607But the preacher was so confused that he answered:"What''s the use of prayer in an emergency like this?"
40607But what right had he to defend from gallantry the woman he was about to forswear before the world?
40607But what was you expecting-- especial?"
40607By my feshionable clothink?"
40607Ca n''t I do it just as good?
40607Ca n''t you call me Little Jimmie again?"
40607Ca n''t you raise this light-- or rather ca n''t you lower it?
40607Ca n''t you really cut yourself?"
40607Ca n''t you see I''m busy?"
40607Can I fit you out vit a nice divorce?"
40607Can he come back and see me to- morrow?"
40607Could Mallory have escaped the pit they had digged for him?
40607Could n''t mamma and I go on the transport?
40607Could n''t we-- er-- couldn''t we establish a residence-- er-- together?"
40607Could n''t you just overawe them with it?"
40607Could n''t you lend me or sell me something a little smarter?"
40607Could n''t you put me in the men''s end of the car?"
40607Could you lend me a match?
40607Did he have Othello''s green eye?
40607Did n''t you ever have a mother?"
40607Did you ever meet Mrs. Sammy Whitcomb-- no?
40607Did you ever try one?"
40607Did you rest well?"
40607Do n''t they''low nothin''in that old Utah but ice- cream soda?"
40607Do n''t you hate long journeys?"
40607Do n''t you remember it?"
40607Do you dare refuse?"
40607Do you know the name of the man who just hurried in?"
40607Do you promise?"
40607Do you promise?"
40607Do you see the porter in there?"
40607Do you think I want to compromise my own wife?
40607Do you vant it a nice hotel?--or a fine house?--or an apartment?--or maybe a boarding- house?--yes?
40607Do you vant to get a nice re- marriage license?"
40607Do you want to get out and walk up and down?"
40607Doctor Temple?
40607Dr. Temple advanced on the disconsolate youth with an effort at cheer:"How is our bridegroom this beautiful afternoon?"
40607Dr. Temple summoned the lad:"I do n''t suppose you have the_ Ypsilanti Eagle_?"
40607Even Doctor Temple declared that she was a dear little thing, was n''t she?
40607Even Dr. Temple stared at her with approval:"Dear little thing, is n''t she?"
40607Ever hear of li''l Jimmie Wellington?
40607Ever hear of me?"
40607Finally the porter was compelled to reach forward and tap Mallory''s arm, and stutter:"''Scuse me, but co- could I git b- by?"
40607Fosdick?"
40607From within came an anxious voice:"Who''s there?"
40607Good Lord, are you a Mormon?"
40607Good Lord, are you going to begin chucking it up?"
40607Have n''t you got a man''s size berth?"
40607Have you got a little minister in your suitcase?"
40607He asked, huskily:"What do you think he is?"
40607He beckoned the porter and said:"Let me know the moment we enter Utah, will you?"
40607He came forward with a look of authority:"''Scuse me, but wha-- what''s all this?"
40607He could not help pondering:"What would they say in Yp- hip- silanti?"
40607He gazed at her with a rush of lovely tenderness:"And how could I ever speak crossly to you?"
40607He had a license for Chicago, but Chicago was far away:"Do I need a license in Nevada?"
40607He huddled himself and his suitcases into as flat a space as possible, murmuring:"These corridors are so narrow, are n''t they?"
40607He looked so much like a rawhided ranchman that Mallory stole up on him and asked him to excuse him, but did he happen to be a clergyman?
40607He pressed her back with a decisive motion, and demanded:"Where are you going?"
40607He rose to welcome her, but the smile died on his lips at her chilly speech:"May I have a word with you, sir?"
40607He said:"Excuse me, but have you any preachers on board?"
40607He seized it hungrily and clung to it:"Good- bye?--aren''t you getting off at Reno?"
40607He stared at her with masculine dismay at feminine logic:"If you ca n''t forgive me, then why do you marry me?"
40607He took a large iron seal from his side- pocket and stamped the paper and then, with fountain pen poised, pleaded:"Vat is the names, pleass?"
40607He tried again:"Ever hear of well- known Chicago belle, Mrs. Jimmie Wellington?"
40607He tried to calm her with inexpert words:"How can I stop the train?
40607He turned away and dashed into the men''s room with a furious:"Where''s that damned dog?"
40607He turned his head and growled:"Say, do youse want to lose me me license?"
40607He turned on the wretch with a heartsick appeal:"Ca n''t you spare those?
40607He turned to the conductor:"Say, old man, just hold the train till after my wedding, wo n''t you?"
40607He turned to the porter:"There ai n''t any law against giving this away, is there?"
40607He was halted by another voice-- another woman''s voice:"Pardon me, but is this the car for Reno?"
40607He was still more startled when Mr. Baumann, cruising along the aisle, bent over to murmur:"Can I fix you a nice divorce?"
40607He was too deeply shocked to achieve any comment more brilliant than:"That mess do n''t look much like it ever was a taxicab, does it?"
40607He went right on getting acquainted:"Are you married, Mr.--Mr.----?"
40607He whined:"Say, what''s your little game, eh?"
40607He wondered what rock Ira held behind his back now, but he forced an uneasy cordiality:"And is this you, Ira?
40607Her first question was:"Oh, porter, did a box of flowers, or candy, or anything, come for me?"
40607Here, too, the conductor thundered:"Who pulled that rope?
40607His curt indifference jolted Marjorie a trifle, but she rallied her forces, and came back with:"How long do we stop at Ogden?"
40607His one vital inquiry was:"How much will he tip?"
40607How are we going to get to the minister?"
40607How dare you?"
40607How did you know it?
40607How is it my fault?
40607How long do you make a residence?"
40607How much do you suppose we owe him?"
40607How old was he?"
40607How shall we begin?"
40607How soon do we start?"
40607How?"
40607How?"
40607I deliver''em to your address-- yes?
40607I hope I have n''t kept you waiting?"
40607I never heard of any such streets, did you?"
40607If it''s right for him, why not for you?"
40607In fact, he went so far as to say:"You gents vill be gettin''off at Reno, yes?
40607In the presence of such innocent deviltry he could only smile:"Are n''t we having an exciting vacation?
40607Ira appeared at number One, and bending over his treasure- trove, spoke in a voice that was pure saccharine:"Are you ready for breakfast, dear?"
40607Ira growled like a lovesick lion:"Aw, what do you care?"
40607Is it something like authors?"
40607Is n''t it sweet?"
40607Is this the first time, Ira?"
40607Is you all fixin''up for a bridal couple?"
40607Is you allowin''to take a ba- ath in the mawnin''?"
40607Is your husband a reverend doctor?"
40607It looks like Fate, does n''t it?"
40607It was not an entirely satisfactory justification, and Marjorie began to quake with alarm:"Suppose there should n''t be?"
40607It''s awfully good, is n''t it?
40607It''s bad, eh?"
40607Lathrop stared at him pityingly, and demanded:"What happens to the water, then?"
40607Lathrop!--is it you?"
40607Little Jimmie Wellington turned pale, and stammered, as he tried to ask the conductor casually:"What kind of a place is that Reno?"
40607Little Jimmie almost perished with apoplexy:"You, you?"
40607Mallory acknowledged the greeting, and asked offhandedly:"By the way, how''s she running?"
40607Mallory almost dropped in his tracks, and Marjorie keeled over on him, as he gasped:"Good Lord, Doctor Temple, you are a-- a minister?"
40607Mallory asked, excitedly,"is he coming?"
40607Mallory could prevent that, but when she pleaded,"What shall we do?"
40607Mallory dragged Marjorie away, but she shook her little fist at the conductor, crying:"Do you refuse?
40607Mallory glared at the twin Benedict Arnolds and demanded:"Are you two thugs going to San Francisco with us?"
40607Mallory put out his hand:"Would you be kind enough to lend me your razor again this morning?"
40607Mallory realized that Nevada would be a thing of the past in a few hours more and he asked:"It''s no good in California?"
40607Mallory returned to Wellington with a fiercer:"Whom, then?"
40607Mallory saw it go with fortitude, but noting a piece of legal paper, he said:"Say, old man, you do n''t want that marriage license, do you?"
40607Mallory stared and stared, till Marjorie said:"Do n''t you see?
40607Mallory took her by the wrist in a gingerly manner, and said,"So that''s the bracelet?
40607Mallory tossed him the towel again:"You meant Mr. Lathrop then?"
40607Mallory went straight to Dr. Temple, with a burning demand:"You dear old fraud, will you marry me?"
40607Marjorie blushed, and lowered her eyes and her voice:"Can you suggest anything better?"
40607Marjorie came back to earth with a bump:"Are you really sure there''s a minister on board?"
40607Marjorie demanded with an ominous chill:"And who''s Mattie?
40607Marjorie poured maple syrup on her tone, as she purred:"This train of yours is an awfully fast train, is n''t it?"
40607Marjorie stared after him in wonder and asked:"What did that person mean by what he said?"
40607Marjorie stared at him incredulously:"That creature!--before all these passengers?"
40607Marjorie studied his motley garb, and her own, and groaned:"We''re a sweet looking pair, are n''t we?"
40607Marjorie tossed her head a little higher, grew a little calmer:"What do I care?
40607Marjorie winced at this and writhed at what followed:"Sha n''t we take breakfast together?"
40607Mr. Baumann drew himself up:"Who says I do n''t?
40607Mr. Baumann layed his hands in one another:"A betchelor?
40607Mr. La-_throp_, did you ever put your trust in a false- hearted woman?"
40607Mrs. Fosdick called from far down the aisle:"Dr. Temple, you''re not a detective?"
40607Mrs. Fosdick shook her head at him in mournful sympathy, and asked:"What state are we in now?"
40607Mrs. Temple almost collapsed at this double shock:"Ci-- cigars?"
40607Mrs. Temple shouted back furiously:"How dare you?"
40607Mrs. Temple shuddered at the thought, but Wellington drew himself up majestically and called out:"Like second one better, eh?
40607Mrs. Temple stared at him and shook her head:"I wonder what mischief you''ll be up to to- day?
40607Mrs. Temple was shivering with dismay at the dreadful deed:"What would they say in Ypsilanti?"
40607Mrs. Wellington interpreted it with a smile of gay defiance:"Do you believe in divorces?"
40607Mrs. Wellington pushed forward:"Then what the devil are you going to do when they come?"
40607Mrs. Wellington whirled on him:"How dare you, you brute?"
40607Mrs. Whitcomb waved them at Mallory with a laugh:"Recognize these?"
40607Mrs. Whitcomb went on, leaning closer:"We two poor mistreated wretches must try to console one another, musn''t we?"
40607No?
40607No?
40607No?"
40607Now is it all perfectly clear, porter?"
40607On the map?"
40607On what grounds?"
40607Or a nice fat alderman I can get you?"
40607Paris fashions, lady?"
40607Rather good joke on little Jimmie, eh?"
40607Salt Lake pa----""Whash latesh from Chicago?"
40607San Francisco?
40607Seeing Marjorie, he said:"Shall I perambulate Mista Snoozleums?"
40607Shall I look under the seat?"
40607Shall I make it up?"
40607She flung out imploring palms and with a gush of tears pleaded:"Wo n''t you please back up?
40607She only heard his voice across her shoulder:"Doctor?
40607She protested:"You would n''t leave me in Reno without a diamond, would you?"
40607She simply said:"What time is it, honey?"
40607She snuggled closer, and cooed:"Are n''t we having a nice long engagement?
40607She stammered:"I do n''t suppose the train, by any accident, would be delayed in leaving Ogden?"
40607She stared at him with a new thought, and gushed:"Oh, Ira-- are you a missionary, too?"
40607She turned away, but he caught her arm:"Do n''t you love me?"
40607She whirled back to demand of Marjorie:"Did you ever hear of such impudence?"
40607She''s a little bit of all right, is n''t she?"
40607So Ira rose, pushed the checkers aside, and said in an unusually positive tone:"Ah, Miss Gattle, wo n''t you have a look at the landscape?"
40607Some former sweetheart of yours?"
40607Something must be done, but what?
40607Suddenly an idea struck into his daze:"Say, what kind of a dog was it?--a measly little cheese- hound?"
40607Take it off, wo n''t you?"
40607Temple?"
40607That''s a kind of a seasick name, is n''t it?"
40607The Englishman was craning his head around owlishly to ask:"I say, pawtah, does this train ever get wrecked?"
40607The Pullman conductor not being present at the moment, he inquired:"Have you got yo''ticket?"
40607The best he could think of was:"Will somebody lend me a lead pencil?"
40607The blissful silence was broken first by Marjorie:"How do you spell Utah?--with a y?"
40607The chauffeur glanced her way, more in pity for her whole sex than in scorn for this one type, as he mumbled:"Make it go?
40607The conductor looked at her in surprise:"Why, what''s it to you?"
40607The conductor stared at her a moment, then whirled on Mallory:"Say, what in hell''s the matter with your wife?"
40607The conductor swung round with a yell:"A curly tail!--your son?"
40607The conductor was reduced to a wet rag, a feeble echo:"Back up-- the train up?"
40607The curious gallant edged her way, keeping a sharp watch along the line:"What d''you want?"
40607The embrace was untied, and the lovers stared at him with a dazed, where- am- I?
40607The gasp was so equivocal that he made bold to ask:"Is you pleased or disappointed?"
40607The levity shocked Selby, but a greater shock was in store, for when he inquired:"And who is the-- er-- happy-- bride?"
40607The man jumped as if he were stabbed, and turned a pale, frightened face on Mallory, who murmured:"Excuse me, do you happen to be a clergyman?"
40607The more I know men the more I like----"this reminded her, and she asked anxiously:"Where is Snoozleums?"
40607The porter almost blanched:"Good Lawd, Miss, you ai n''t allowin''to drive nails in that woodwork, is you?"
40607The porter lured him on:"Is you sho''you got one?"
40607The porter ventured:"Are you sho''this is yo''numba?"
40607The prim little missionary toppled into the nearest chair:"Oh, Ira, what will she think?"
40607The sobs stopped short, as Marjorie looked up to ask:"Have you got your sword with you?"
40607The stranger stared at him wonderingly and demanded:"Why, what you drivin''at?"
40607The young woman looked sorrowfully at the wreck, and queried:"Do you think you can make it go?"
40607Then Marjorie grew serious with a new idea:"I wonder if mamma and papa have missed me yet?"
40607Then he started with a new twinge:"You bound for Ogden, too?"
40607Then murmured with hypocritical deference:"Excuse me, but could I see yo''ticket for yo''seat?"
40607Then she almost blushed as she murmured, almost shyly:"May I pour your coffee for you again this morning?"
40607Then she gave the boy his congà © by resuming her chat with Mallory:"How long do we stop at Ogden?"
40607Then she took his breath away again by asking, out of a clear sky:"Are you married?"
40607Then she tried to control herself with a polite:"Where is the next stop?"
40607There was a disagreeable silence, broken finally by Mrs. Wellington''s:"Oh, Mrs. Mallory, would you be angelic enough to hook my gown?"
40607They be of any use to you?"
40607They heard Lathrop''s protest:"Hold on there, conductor,"and Selby''s plea:"Oh, I say, my good man, wait a moment, ca n''t you?"
40607Thinking and hoping that she was unconscious, he made ready to escape, but she caught him by the coat, and moaned:"Where am I?"
40607To save me from distress-- don''t you think you could?"
40607Vere iss it?"
40607Very picturesque scenery, is n''t it?"
40607Vich do you vant it?"
40607Was she lonesome in that dismal stateroom all by herself?"
40607Wedgewood collapsed into another, gasping:"Whatevah are we safe from, I wondah?"
40607Wedgewood extended a languid hand:"What''s the latest issue of the_ London Times_?"
40607Wedgewood laid a sympathetic hand on Little Jimmie''s shoulder, and said:"That Ashton is no end of a bounder, what?"
40607Wedgewood voiced the general curiosity when he said:"What''s the old woman- hater up to now?"
40607Well?"
40607Wellington stared at his wife:"Lucretia, are you sincere?"
40607Wellington?"
40607Wellington?"
40607Wellington?"
40607Were you ever in Brattleboro, Vermont?"
40607What I want to know is how you dare to----""Was it a colored waiter?"
40607What about the minister?
40607What becomes of me?"
40607What do you think of that?"
40607What have you been reading-- wedding announcements?"
40607What if your former wife should find us together?"
40607What is it to you, where she sits?
40607What on earth ails you?"
40607What use had he now for ministers?
40607What would yo''canine desiah, sah?"
40607What''s this?"
40607What''s yo''numba, please?"
40607What- dick?"
40607Whatever became of that fellow who used to hang round you all the time?"
40607When he dropped at Marjorie''s side, she edged away from him, pleading:"Oh, what shall we do?"
40607When the porter returned to bow her in, she shivered and hesitated, and then demanded:"Oh, Porter, are you sure there''s nobody else in there?"
40607Where could I reach him?"
40607Where is he?"
40607Where''s it at?"
40607Where''s my bracelet?"
40607Who said take the orders?"
40607Who''s in there?"
40607Whom did you suppose?"
40607Why do you want a minister?"
40607Why leave Chicago?"
40607Why, oh, why did we ever interfere with them?"
40607Will he contest the-- divorce?"
40607Will you come?"
40607Will you join me?"
40607With others,"How much is he worth?"
40607With others,"What has he achieved?"
40607With some, the first question is,"Who are his people?"
40607Wo n''t mamma be pleased?"
40607Wo n''t you please hold the train?"
40607Wo n''t you sit down?"
40607Would n''t it be just terrible?"
40607Yes?
40607Yes?
40607Yes?
40607You are n''t wearing your uniform, are you?"
40607You are well, are n''t you?"
40607You dare to read about her and rave over her perfect form, while you neglect your wife-- or your-- oh, what am I, anyway?"
40607You do n''t intend to marry a laundryman?"
40607You have n''t been in to see her yet?"
40607You have n''t got a plain white shirt, have you?
40607You quite understand, do n''t you?"
40607You stopped this train for a fool dog?"
40607You vant maybe a good quick divorce-- yes?"
40607You wo n''t mind if I leave you to talk over old times together?"
40607You''ve already been smoking, gambling, drinking-- have you been swearing, yet?"
40607and he raised his glass, but Mallory hauled it down to demand:"How?
40607but are you gettink off at R- r- reno?"
40607he bellowed,"which one of you guys pulled that rope?"
40607he cried, and leaped to his feet, only to be detained again by Marjorie''s clutch:"But first, what about that bracelet?"
40607he echoed,"you?--to me?
40607he gulped,"well, what in----Say, in the name of-- why, do n''t you know it''s a penitentiary offense to stop a train this way?"
40607he wailed,"do n''t you allow no courtesies to the profession?"
40607or very nice and noisy?"
40607said Kathleen, jealously,"or are you just acquaintances on the train?"
40607said Mrs. Wellington,"Do n''t you like tobacco?"
40607she moaned, then left the general for the particular:"Wo n''t you come in and hook me up?"
40607she shrieked,"in heaven''s name-- when?"
40607stuff a mattress?
40607what?
29572A forty- five gun with a thirty- eight bore, George? 29572 A stranger?
29572Across the river?
29572After all I know-- why not?
29572After all you know?
29572Ai n''t that blamed doctor here yet? 29572 Almost criminal, was n''t it?"
29572Alone in the rain?
29572Am I a thing?
29572And Sinclair was away from the ranch from Saturday noon till Sunday night?
29572And do you mind my giving you a confidence, Mr. Smith? 29572 And may I come over after I tell Rooney Lee to repeat this to headquarters?"
29572And no one was hurt?
29572And say, Chris, go down and read the bridge gauge, will you? 29572 And suppose you were?"
29572And this is where you stay?
29572And whom may I say the message is from?
29572And will you tell me what_ I_ should be doing while you were explaining?
29572And you expect me to sit by and fold my hands while that wretch sheds more blood, do you?
29572And you told him, of course?
29572And you''ll see we make nothing, wo n''t you?
29572Another what?
29572Are n''t you ashamed to make fun of me?
29572Are you Mr. McCloud? 29572 Are you Whispering Smith?"
29572Are you not trying to broil a roast of beef?
29572Are you suffering much, Du Sang?
29572Are you sure you can find your way back?
29572Are you taking your hat off for me in the rain? 29572 Arrest him?
29572As many as that?
29572At least, wo n''t you let your horse drink?
29572Awake, Gordon?
29572Boys, have you happened to see Gene or Bob Johnson to- day, any of you?
29572Brown, why have you never learned to smoke?
29572Burn the whole thing up, eh?
29572But can the men work in such a downpour?
29572But how can it be? 29572 But the hill road?"
29572But what are you going to do?
29572But you started out together; where did you leave her?
29572But you will allow me to ride back to the house with you?
29572But, Dicksie, is it all right?
29572But, by Heaven, George,exclaimed Smith, speaking with unaccustomed fervor,"Miss Dicksie Dunning is a hummer,_ is n''t_ she?
29572But,he added, moderating his utterance,"when they succeed-- who gets anything out of it but the dog?"
29572Ca n''t I ride him down?
29572Can you ask me whether you ought not to take every means to defend your own life? 29572 Damn you, ai n''t you dead yet?
29572Dicksie, dare you tell me, after a shock like that, it really_ is_ your pin?
29572Dicksie, what do you mean? 29572 Did he?"
29572Did you come from across the river?
29572Did you ever have to kill a man, George?
29572Did you know my daddy used to run an engine?
29572Did you say George? 29572 Did you see him alone, Bill?"
29572Did you shed a tear for me? 29572 Do n''t you know me?"
29572Do n''t you know you have said it to me many times without words? 29572 Do n''t you know?"
29572Do n''t you like this country? 29572 Do n''t you suppose I know he writes letters back to Wisconsin to your folks?"
29572Do n''t you think I care anything about you? 29572 Do n''t you want to take Brill Young with you?"
29572Do you accuse me of false representations?
29572Do you call this far? 29572 Do you hear me?
29572Do you know what you promised last night? 29572 Do you know who shot at me?"
29572Do you mean it?
29572Do you think I am going to allow this railroad company to ruin this ranch while I am responsible here? 29572 Do you think so?"
29572Do you think this is a summer resort? 29572 Do you usually,"he asked, looking suddenly up,"have success in setting roosters?"
29572Do you want to see me?
29572Do you want to take charge here? 29572 Does everything you say come true?"
29572Du Sang?
29572Farrell, if you had n''t been a railroad man you would have made a great undertaker, do you know that?
29572Find my way back?
29572First name?
29572Four?
29572Going back to- night, do you say? 29572 Going to turn us loose on Red Desert, are you?"
29572Gordon, would it do any good to ask a few questions?
29572Got any Sugar Buttes money?
29572Have my men got nothing to do but carry a tramp to water? 29572 Have n''t seen any men looking for horses this morning, have you?"
29572Have they made you superintendent already?
29572Have we enough to stand in?
29572Have you diagnosed the case?
29572Have you fellows let Du Sang get away while you were playing fool here?
29572Have you got everything? 29572 Have you got everything?"
29572Have you had any supper, Dannie? 29572 Have you noticed it?
29572Have you the horses below? 29572 Hear his name?"
29572Hello, old boy, how the devil did you get here?
29572Help me to get it off my mind, will you, please?
29572How about the mining?
29572How am I to answer it?
29572How am I to do it?
29572How am I to get to Point of Rocks-- walk there?
29572How are we to sit?
29572How are you going to turn your train around on a single track?
29572How are you making it over here?
29572How are you, Bill?
29572How can a man make a living in this country,asked the rancher, with a bitter oath,"unless he picks up everything that''s going?"
29572How can you ask me so terrible a question?
29572How could I explain?
29572How could it catch fire? 29572 How dare you speak in that way to me?
29572How did you know we rode away? 29572 How do I know?
29572How do you do? 29572 How do you know?"
29572How do you know?
29572How goes it?
29572How is Number One, Rooney?
29572How is your arm?
29572How long has Du Sang been in town? 29572 How long will it take them to clean up this mess with what help we can run in this afternoon?"
29572How many men have you got with you, Reed?
29572How''s that?
29572I always want to go, do n''t I?
29572I am going to get dinner; do you want to help?
29572I presume Mr. Sinclair is here?
29572I shall be going with you, shall I not? 29572 I think you are mistaken, are n''t you?"
29572I wanted to ask you whether you would sell us some grain- sacks, Mr. McCloud, to use at the river, if you could spare them?
29572I wonder how the river is? 29572 I''m afraid I do n''t understand you-- do you ask me this question?
29572Identity?
29572If it''s the crowd we think it is, would they go straight home? 29572 If they could put one day between them and pursuit, would n''t they be safer at home than anywhere else?
29572If you are both going, can you be ready by twelve o''clock for the China Mail?
29572In the real- estate business? 29572 Into the claims or into the lake?"
29572Is he in his room, do you think?
29572Is he, Marion? 29572 Is it really serious business?"
29572Is n''t it a shame to be disappointed like this?
29572Is that hobo alive yet?
29572Is that the best you can do?
29572Is that the man who was in the wreck?
29572Is the line clear?
29572Is there anything I can do for you?
29572Is there_ any_ man here that wants to go back to work for the company?
29572Is this man all right?
29572Is this the terrible man I have heard about?
29572Is this where you stay?
29572Is this your bunch of horses that got loose here?
29572It is curious how you remember things that happened when you were a boy, is n''t it? 29572 It''s as good as done,"announced Dancing, taking up his hat,"and, Mr. McCloud, might I have a little advance for cigars and things?"
29572It''s fine for to- night, is n''t it?
29572It''s great, is n''t it?
29572It''s nothing I can do or leave undone, is it?
29572Let me run that end of it, will you? 29572 Look anything like that man standing with his hands in his pockets over there by the wheel?"
29572Look here, McCloud, what''s a pay check to a man that''s sick, compared with a bottle of good wine?
29572Look here, what do you want?
29572Looks like all day for you, does n''t it? 29572 Looks to me like I seen you down at Crawling Stone, ai n''t I?"
29572Lost Smoky Creek Bridge?
29572Marion, what do you mean? 29572 Marion,"he cried, with an oath,"do you know how close you are to death at this moment?"
29572McCloud, are you a Van Dyne man?
29572Miss Dunning, wo n''t you listen just a moment? 29572 My dear Marion, why did they drag you away out here?"
29572Not from Ed Banks?
29572Not of my affair?
29572Not since he left the mountains a year ago?
29572Now tell me how_ you_ heard so much about it, Gordon, and where?
29572Now who is their friend down in this country? 29572 Now why do you want to start Bill on a fool business like that?"
29572Now, shall I break your arm?
29572Now, who is Wickwire?
29572Now, will some of you tell me who Du Sang is?
29572Oh, Mr. McCloud, have you heard the awful news? 29572 Oh, is n''t that a relief?"
29572Oh, what shall I do?
29572Oh, you are? 29572 One of Dunning''s men, was it?
29572Or will one of you roll a cigarette?
29572Or will you behave? 29572 Others?"
29572Pardon me,ventured McCloud,"have you lost your way?"
29572Past twelve? 29572 Pray, why not?"
29572Running too fast, eh?
29572Sacks? 29572 See here, Rebstock, you and I have always got along, have n''t we?
29572Seriously, now,Whispering Smith went on,"do n''t you know people who, if they were thoroughly prosperous, would be intolerable-- simply intolerable?
29572Shall we let her, Marion? 29572 Should n''t you rather take good money and get off the division?
29572Sinclair, what are you doing in Medicine Bend? 29572 So it was fixed up for cash a week ago?"
29572Something for me? 29572 Stay here?
29572Stranger, eh?
29572Submit? 29572 Such as what?"
29572Supper is served to all on duty at twelve o''clock, and we''re on duty, are n''t we? 29572 Suppose you were?"
29572Surrender myself? 29572 Take off your coat, wo n''t you, please?"
29572That man?
29572That''s a good story about the mules coming from Denver, ai n''t it?
29572That''s the superintendent''s car coming, ai n''t it, Murray?
29572The merchandise is all unloaded, is n''t it?
29572Then tell me how_ you_ could do it?
29572Then what''s all this fuss about?
29572Then where is your fight? 29572 Then you ca n''t tell me whether there were five men or six?"
29572Then, tell me, what favor may I do for you?
29572They are not doing anything, are they, but running around in a circle? 29572 They lied to you, did n''t they?
29572This is your office, is n''t it?
29572This shell pin fell from your hair that night you were at camp by the bridge-- do you remember? 29572 Tired of waiting, Bob?
29572Up jump the devil, is it? 29572 Was anybody else there when you saw McCloud, Bill?"
29572Was he at Sugar Buttes?
29572Was it a passenger wreck?
29572Was n''t he, Dannie?
29572We can be ready in an hour,declared Dicksie, throwing her arm half around Marion''s neck,"ca n''t we, Marion?"
29572We must try to think how he would like things done now, must n''t we? 29572 We''re doing that without rising, are n''t we?"
29572Well, I told you I was going to come, did n''t I? 29572 Well, do n''t you want to start in on me?
29572Well, do you think you can find the way down there for us?
29572Well, what''s er matter with you fellows? 29572 Well, what''s your plan?"
29572Well, who do you want?
29572Well, you drink, do n''t you? 29572 What are you going to do?"
29572What are you looking for, perfection in rhetorical figure? 29572 What are you so high and mighty about?"
29572What are you talking about?
29572What are you trying to do?
29572What can you do with him?
29572What can you shoot, Pearline? 29572 What did you tell him?"
29572What do you care, if I''ve got the coin? 29572 What do you do when it thunders?"
29572What do you mean?
29572What do you think of it, Gordon?
29572What do you think of it?
29572What do you want me for? 29572 What do you want, Bill?"
29572What does he want now? 29572 What for?"
29572What has been happening since I left town?
29572What have I to do with that? 29572 What have we to thank for it all but trouble?"
29572What have you done with my cattle?
29572What is it, Bill?
29572What is it, Dannie?
29572What is it, George?
29572What is it, Rockstro?
29572What is it, Rooney?
29572What is it-- money?
29572What is my duty then? 29572 What is that mining man''s name?"
29572What kind of a wizard is Murray Sinclair? 29572 What makes you think that?"
29572What might be your line of business?
29572What might your name be, mister?
29572What of it? 29572 What of it?"
29572What shall I say-- what can I say? 29572 What should you say if I gave you a confidence?"
29572What the deuce is it, Stevens?
29572What time is it, please?
29572What was it all about?
29572What would become of the lives of the friends you protect if you were killed?
29572What''s on time?
29572What''s the matter-- is she sick?
29572What''s the use, Wickwire?
29572What''s your game?
29572What''s your name?
29572What, Whispering Smith? 29572 What, would you drive us off land you have already deeded?"
29572What? 29572 Where are you going?"
29572Where are you?
29572Where could you get white men to work like that if you did n''t jolly them along once in a while? 29572 Where did you come from?"
29572Where did you come from?
29572Where did you hear about that?
29572Where do I look as if I had come from? 29572 Where is your hat, George-- the one he put the bullet through?"
29572Where''s Kennedy?
29572Where-- there? 29572 Where?
29572Which is deputy sheriff this year, Bob or Gene? 29572 Which is your bed?"
29572Which of you fellows is Whispering Smith?
29572Which way are you going to- night, Gordon?
29572Who are you going to take with you?
29572Who are you?
29572Who is every one?
29572Who is it, Puss?
29572Who missed me?
29572Who says I ca n''t see her?
29572Who turned the trick, Wickwire?
29572Who?
29572Whose team is that, Sinclair?
29572Why did n''t you thank Murray Sinclair, you mule?
29572Why did n''t you?
29572Why did you come, then? 29572 Why do n''t you come back?"
29572Why do n''t you come out when I send a man to you, or send word what you will do? 29572 Why have I learned to ride,"went the question through her mind,"if not for this-- for those I love and for those who love me?"
29572Why must you ride home with me when I do n''t want you to?
29572Why need you hurry away?
29572Why not let me ride down and manage it without bringing you into it at all?
29572Why not let us cross where we are, and run a new level for your ditch that will put the flume higher up?
29572Why not?
29572Why should you take the rain for me?
29572Why were n''t the cattle sent through that way yesterday? 29572 Why, God a''mighty, Dicksie, what''s the matter?"
29572Why, what is the matter?
29572Why, you are in real earnest, are n''t you? 29572 Why?
29572Will you be good enough to leave this room?
29572Will you give me a corner lot if we put another station on the ranch?
29572Will you?
29572Williams Cache, was n''t it? 29572 Wo n''t it be fun to shove this man right under Du Sang''s nose and make him bat his eyes?"
29572Wo n''t you give me the number and let me telephone?
29572Wo n''t you hear me a moment? 29572 Would n''t give a man a tie- pass, would you?"
29572Would you ride away from me just because you have a better horse?
29572Would you trust me with a confidence?
29572Yes, what is it? 29572 You are not such a mind- reader after all, are you?
29572You are sure he is in town?
29572You call it pushing in, do you, Gordon? 29572 You have about seven years to serve, Rockstro, have n''t you?
29572You have n''t forgotten the Smoky Creek wreck? 29572 You mean Seagrue, the Montana cowboy?
29572You wo n''t draw? 29572 You wo n''t think me abrupt, will you?"
29572You would n''t? 29572 You would n''t?
29572You''ll let me ride the same road, wo n''t you-- even if I ca n''t keep up?
29572You''re going to send us back to Medicine Bend with the car, I suppose?
29572You''re not going away for good, Murray?
29572You''ve thrown yourself, have n''t you, Murray?
29572You''ve turned against me too, have you, you gray- haired wolf? 29572 _ Ve gates?_""How''s that?"
29572_ Ve gates?_"How''s that?
29572_ Wie geht es?_ Do n''t pretend you ca n''t make out my German. 29572 ''Tell me, Klein,''I asked, after he had quit dragging me out-- he''s a Hanoverian--''where did you get your pull? 29572 ''What''s the matter with your face, Bill?'' 29572 ''Where''s the new superintendent?'' 29572 ''Where''s your dad?'' 29572 Ai n''t that what you want?
29572All I want to know is, will you go with me?"
29572All?"
29572Am I to remember first that he is your husband?"
29572Am I your cowboy, to be defiled with your curses?"
29572And are n''t we five able- bodied jays, gentlemen?
29572And did he sit there while you talked this over with the college guy?"
29572And have n''t they laid out one day''s work for us, good and plenty?
29572And have n''t you made a radical mistake to start with?"
29572And how about your height?
29572And how are you?
29572And how will you get back?"
29572And what horror might not another day bring-- what lives still closer to her life be taken?
29572Are n''t you happy here?
29572Are n''t you?
29572Are the men there to- night?
29572Are you a doctor?"
29572Are you engaged to Dicksie?"
29572Are you engaged to anybody?"
29572Are you going to eat all the bacon, Mr. McCloud, or do we draw a portion of it?
29572Are you hurt?"
29572Are you plucky?"
29572Are you really alive and unhurt?
29572Are you willing to say that I stand in the way of a settlement?"
29572Arrest Sinclair?
29572Bill, this is old Harvey Du Sang, meanest man in the mountains to his enemies and the whitest to his friends-- eh, Harvey?"
29572Bring him down here, will you, and see he does n''t go to the dogs?
29572Bucks?"
29572But I''ve got only two minutes for it all, only two minutes; do you think Puss has any on the stove?"
29572But did you know that Williams shot down Gordon Smith''s only brother, a trainmaster, in cold blood in front of the Wickiup at Medicine Bend?
29572But he wo n''t leave the country; do you think he will?"
29572But how did you_ ever_ get here?
29572But is he as pitiless as they say, Marion?"
29572But what has that to do with your trouble?
29572But where am I to board?
29572But, Miss Dicksie, could n''t we ride back to the house and ride around the other way into camp?
29572By the way, Mrs. Sinclair, does this man keep you supplied with transportation?"
29572By the way, are you a detective, Fatty?
29572By the way, may I ask which shoulder?"
29572CHAPTER XXI SUPPER IN CAMP"Will you never be done with your telephoning?"
29572Ca n''t you do something for him?"
29572Ca n''t you eat anything?
29572Can it be George Seagrue?
29572Can we stay here all night?"
29572Can you manage that?
29572Can you name one?
29572Come, now, who is going to walk in first?
29572Could I keep him from going?"
29572Could Puss put up a lunch I could take to him?
29572Could either of them ever quite forget it?
29572Could they be sent against Sinclair?
29572Could you, honestly?
29572Cousin Lance is superintending the street work-- and whom do you think I am going to name it after?
29572Dancing, do n''t you know me?"
29572Dare I ask--_why_ do they call you Whispering Smith?
29572Dear me, it is kind of nice, to be able to order up a train when you want one in a hurry, is n''t it, Marion?
29572Deserved or not, whatever she should say or not say, what would she feel?
29572Dicksie, are you crazy?
29572Dicksie, unabashed, kept right on:"Well, do you know how traffic is increasing over there, with the trains running only two months now?
29572Did I tell you how we picked up the trail yesterday?
29572Did Wickwire have a talk with you?
29572Did he make good?
29572Did n''t Marion tell you?
29572Did n''t you ask me to tell the story?"
29572Did you ever see such eyes in a human being, set like that and blinking so in the light?
29572Did you expect me to sit with folded hands when I heard you were ill anywhere in the wide world?"
29572Did you know Bug Robinson?"
29572Did you know I used to be a cowboy in the mountains years ago?
29572Did you know there are two men out at the crossing now, guarding it with rifles?
29572Did your grandfather serve as a grenadier under old Frederick William and was he kidnapped?''
29572Did your ride make you ill?
29572Do I know any of you?"
29572Do n''t be bashful; you''ve got friends on the division if you are Irish, eh?"
29572Do n''t you believe it?
29572Do n''t you remember my telling about the man that got Chuck Williams and hauled him out of the Cache on a buckboard?
29572Do n''t you suppose I know he spends his time loafing around your shop?"
29572Do n''t you think I would go anywhere to save the ranch?
29572Do n''t you want to freshen up?
29572Do n''t you?"
29572Do they give interest on passes?"
29572Do you hear me?
29572Do you know President Bucks?
29572Do you know Whispering Smith?
29572Do you know anything about the infernal climate there?
29572Do you know him?"
29572Do you know what a derelict is?
29572Do you know what this young lady did this morning?
29572Do you know whether it is true?"
29572Do you know, I have been waiting in town three or four hours now for Cousin Lance?
29572Do you know, I send him an annual every year?
29572Do you mind going out under the cottonwood?"
29572Do you never do that?"
29572Do you remember the tramp who had his legs crushed and lay in the sun all morning?
29572Do you remember-- in the Pan Handle?
29572Do you suppose I am going to mix up in a fight like this?
29572Do you think_ I_ want to get killed?
29572Do you want him in the street to- night?"
29572Do you want money or a pass?"
29572Do you want them to wait till I''m gray- headed?"
29572Do you want to get out of it, or do you want me to?"
29572Does she know, do you think?
29572Does your belt hurt?
29572Du Sang looked at him closely as he went on:"What kind of a way is this to treat anybody?
29572Du Sang, blinking, spoke first:"Which of you fellows is heading this round- up?"
29572Find my way back?"
29572Five strong- arm suckers?
29572For God''s sake, why did n''t_ one_ of them stay at the house?"
29572Give me a cigar-- haven''t got any?
29572Given up, have they?
29572God help me, how am I to answer a question like that?"
29572Great luck, was n''t it?
29572Had I better lead him down while you wait up on the hill in the shade?"
29572Have I been carrying Marion Sinclair''s pin for a month?"
29572Have I ever bothered you?
29572Have I?"
29572Have n''t I an agreeable part of the railroad business, do n''t you think?
29572Have n''t I any duty toward you, perhaps?
29572Have n''t you been treated right?"
29572Have they had feed or water?"
29572Have we got some of your cattle?"
29572Have you a cook?
29572Have you come to surrender yourself?"
29572Have you heard from Gordon Smith?"
29572Have you ordered up an engine?"
29572Have you plenty of water?"
29572He called twice to her before she turned, and her words almost stunned him:"Why did you not detain Sinclair here to- night?
29572He is a jay with a gun, and you may tell him I said so; do you hear?
29572He is so much older than I am that he ought to be the sensible one of the family, do n''t you think so?
29572Heard about the hold- up?
29572Here''s to the cup that we drain to the end, Even women have to be plucky, do n''t they, Marion?
29572How are they all?
29572How are you, dear?
29572How can I go to a man that I talked to as I talked to him in your house and ask for help?
29572How can I go to him after my cousin has threatened to kill him, and gone into court to prevent his coming on our land?
29572How can I know which it shall be?
29572How can I think?
29572How could Whispering Smith have allowed any one he had a care for to be exposed in this dreadful way?
29572How could he know that Marion was keeping nearly all the block supplied with funds?
29572How could we notify him without knowing where he was?
29572How dare you call me names?"
29572How did you get through at the ranch?"
29572How did you happen to come into the mountains?
29572How did you spend all your time between the ranch and the foothills?"
29572How do I know?
29572How do you feel?"
29572How do you suppose I should feel if you were killed?
29572How is that?"
29572How many men did you bring?"
29572How many would you take away, sir?"
29572How then, McCloud asked himself, could Marion be normally hard pressed for money?
29572How times have changed in railroading, have n''t they?
29572How_ can_ I go to him and ask for help now-- after Cousin Lance has gone into court about the line and everything?
29572I ca n''t understand it at all; but he_ is_ safe, is n''t he?
29572I carry an inspector''s card from the Mountain Stock Association-- do you want to see it?
29572I certainly should n''t eat this stuff if I were n''t, should you, Miss Dunning?
29572I leave first-- that''s understood, I hope-- and if your pink- eyed friend is waiting outside tell him there is nothing doing, will you, Murray?
29572I should like to think if anything should happen to me you would n''t forget her?"
29572I suppose I may light a cigarette, boys, before you turn loose the fireworks?"
29572I suppose it would be useless to ask where you have been to- day?"
29572I suppose one of you will give me a match?"
29572I suppose you''ll pay my expenses back?"
29572I think Mr. Lee handles trains shockingly every time George tries to get home like this on Saturday nights-- now do n''t you?
29572I think it was the fellow that shot so well with the rifle at the barbecue-- what was his name?
29572I think the other way into the camp-- say, around by the railroad bridge-- would be prettier, do n''t you?"
29572I think''Bucks''makes a dandy name for a town, do n''t you?
29572I''m not saying anything, am I?"
29572I''ve been afraid I could n''t stand it to be near you and not tell you----""What need you be afraid to tell me?"
29572If I can once get out of this accursed man- slaughtering business, Dicksie-- How old are you?
29572If I had a mountain girl that would do as much as that for me I would----""What would you do?"
29572If I had just a hundred more of''em the company could have my job-- what?"
29572If we go to him and ask him for help he will give it to us if he can; if he ca n''t, what harm is done?
29572If you ca n''t drop a man in the saddle at two hundred and fifty yards, what do you think you''d look like after a break with me?
29572If you could just find the basin and some water and a towel-- you could n''t find a brush, could you?
29572Illustration:"And whom may I say the message is from?"]
29572In her surprise she rose to her feet, and Marion spoke quickly:"Oh, Mr. McCloud, is it you?
29572In town, is he?
29572Is it burned up?"
29572Is it stomatitis, McCloud?
29572Is it the stomach?
29572Is n''t it a shame?
29572Is n''t it for me to see you safely to the house?
29572Is n''t it terrible?"
29572Is n''t it, Cherry?"
29572Is n''t that fine?
29572Is n''t that true?
29572Is n''t that true?
29572Is n''t your steak right?"
29572Is that English?"
29572Is that the way you put judgment on a man that''s got no friends left because they start a new lie on him every day?
29572Is the moon up?
29572Is there any man that wants to come over?"
29572Is this fine handwriting yours?
29572Is your heart pumping, George?
29572Is your name Smith?"
29572It has n''t fallen much, but the pressure seems to be off the bank, if you know what that means?"
29572It''s good to see him getting the recognition he deserves, is n''t it?
29572Kennedy, will you take the rear end of the bar?
29572Lance Dunning spoke with increasing harshness:"By whose order was that done?
29572Like lovely woman, it does not seek us, we seek it,"persisted the orator,"_ That_ at least is so, is n''t it?"
29572Look at me; ai n''t I handsome?
29572Marion, I want to talk a few minutes with you, may I?
29572Marion, are you keeping something from me?
29572May I fill your cup?"
29572May I have my meals here with you as I used to there?"
29572May n''t I offer you some sort of refreshment?"
29572McCloud?"
29572McCloud?"
29572McCloud?"
29572McCloud?"
29572McCloud?"
29572McCloud?"
29572Nice mules, McCloud, ai n''t they?
29572Nineteen?
29572No, you never heard that in this part of the country, did you?
29572No?
29572No?
29572No?
29572Not to let her go away with him on horseback, and not to leave her where she will be alone with him in the house?"
29572Now Bob and Gene Johnson were at Oroville when you left, were they, Bob?"
29572Now I ask you one fair question only: Did you need the money?"
29572Now do you think I am giving you confidence?"
29572Now tell me one thing-- what did you get for covering this trail?
29572Now tell me one thing-- will you give up the trail?"
29572Now then: Are you engaged?"
29572Now what are we going to do?
29572Now what have I ever done to you that you should turn a trick like this on me?
29572Now what have you got in for me?"
29572Now, Rockstro, do you still drag your left leg?"
29572Odd, is n''t it?
29572Oh, Miss Dunning, may I have some more coffee?
29572On his knee he turned to Whispering Smith, whom he seemed to know, with an abrupt question:"How far do you call it?"
29572Only, what shall it be?"
29572Or do n''t you think I have any feeling?"
29572Poor Baggs sold his life in six words:"Why, yes; be you Banks''s men?"
29572Really, have you the asthma?
29572Really?
29572Rebstock, do you think, if I wanted_ you_, I would send a message for you to come out and meet me?
29572Shall I let him in a minute?"
29572She rode on and on and on-- would it never end?
29572Should he draw and end it?
29572Should n''t I look beautiful asking help from him?"
29572Should you dare to go with her to Sinclair''s ranch if she decides to go to him?"
29572Should you mind coming right to my room?
29572Sinclair spoke harshly:"Do you think you can fool me?
29572Sinclair, will you go back to work?"
29572Sinclair?"
29572So we do seek it, do n''t we?
29572So you think I''m after you, do you?
29572Stormy Gorman?"
29572Suppose he could speak now, do n''t you think he would want you to do as I say?
29572Suppose he should object?"
29572Suppose you give me a chance to ride over the ground with you again and let us see whether we ca n''t arrive at some conclusion?"
29572Tell Cherry to come and take away the supper things, will you?
29572That does n''t look reasonable, does it?"
29572That makes you breathe hard, does n''t it?
29572That would be a pretty piece of business, would n''t it?
29572That''s what makes your eyes so bright, is it?
29572The albino is riding in the middle now, is n''t he?
29572The glass broke on the floor, and Marion exclaimed,"What is that?"
29572The question is, do you want to make the effort?"
29572The whole question is, who is going to run this division, Sinclair and his gang or the company?
29572There''s no papers out against me, is there?"
29572This is Whispering Smith, is n''t it?
29572This is what you call pretty fair water for this part of the valley, is n''t it?"
29572To ride into a valley like this and drive a man''s cows away from his door without notice or papers?
29572Try that piano, Miss Dicksie, will you?
29572Visiting friends or doing business?"
29572Want to go?"
29572Was Du Sang in the penitentiary with you at Fort City?
29572Was I right, was I wrong?
29572Was he being made fun of?
29572Was she pretty?
29572Was there a sound in the wind?
29572Was there much water last spring?
29572Water?
29572Water?"
29572We must wash his face and hands, do n''t you think so?
29572Well, do you think I ever could forget either of those men, Farrell?"
29572Well, if I were, what are you going to do about it?
29572Well, what shall I wear?"
29572Well, who are we waiting for?
29572Were you paid last night or this morning?"
29572Were you the conductor?"
29572What about the horses?"
29572What are you afraid of?
29572What are you going to do?"
29572What are you looking for?"
29572What are you thinking of?
29572What can I ask?
29572What can I say?
29572What can we do there, Rooney?"
29572What can you do?
29572What could he do if they should be able to secrete themselves until dark between him and Wickwire?
29572What did he look like?"
29572What do you mean?
29572What do you mean?"
29572What do you say?"
29572What do you think, all of you?"
29572What do you think?
29572What do you think?
29572What do you think?"
29572What do you want to go back to the penitentiary for?
29572What do you want?"
29572What do you want?"
29572What do you want?"
29572What do you want?"
29572What has happened?
29572What have I been thinking of?"
29572What have they been held at Point of Rocks for?
29572What have you got to kick about?
29572What is it you mean?"
29572What is it?"
29572What is the favor?"
29572What is this, are they back?
29572What man would get out a bunch of horses like this and work them this hard so early in the morning?
29572What might be your business?"
29572What should you think, Mr. Dunning, of putting all the teams you can at that end of the work?"
29572What show has a poor man got against all the money there is in the country?
29572What show would I have with a packed jury in Medicine Bend?
29572What sort of red- blood toxin does he throw into his gang to draw out a spirit like that?
29572What will your Cousin Lance say?
29572What you going to do about it?"
29572What''s that stuff they are hauling?"
29572What''s the use of my eating my heart out over the way I''ve been treated?
29572What''s the use?
29572What''s this, crying?
29572What''s this?
29572What?
29572What?
29572What?"
29572What?"
29572When I propose to put you into my car and pull you out of this, why do you say it is too late?
29572When you leave here tell Bob Scott to meet me at the Wickiup with the horses at eleven o''clock, will you?"
29572When?"
29572Where are the verses, Mr. Smith?
29572Where did I come from?
29572Where is Whispering Smith?"
29572Where is the baking powder?
29572Where is the trouble?"
29572Where is your appetite?
29572Where''s your cousin?
29572Which is the older?
29572Which shall it be?"
29572Which way did they go?"
29572Who are you, that you order me what to do, where to stay?
29572Who has a better right?"
29572Who is he?"
29572Who is it that''s watching me?
29572Who is that on the right?
29572Who is that, Farrell?"
29572Who is the albino, by the way?
29572Who''s going with us, Farrell?"
29572Why did n''t he fire again?"
29572Why did n''t they send the head of their own gang after me?''
29572Why did you not arrest him?"
29572Why did you not send me word?
29572Why do n''t you ask me what I thought the day you acted so beautifully at Crawling Stone Ranch?
29572Why do n''t you ask me whether I''m wet?
29572Why has n''t this line been repaired?"
29572Why not put him at the head of a party to run''em down?"
29572Why not travel a little?
29572Why not?
29572Why should n''t he write to my mother?
29572Why the devil should I arrest Sinclair?
29572Why was n''t I notified?
29572Why would you not do as I wanted you to?"
29572Why?"
29572Why?"
29572Will you advise them to go back to work-- all except Karg?"
29572Will you do me a favor?"
29572Will you get out of this town to- night?
29572Will you have a care for yourself, Gordon?"
29572Will you shake hands?"
29572Will you telephone the stables?"
29572Wo n''t you at least pretend I can act as an escort and let me go with you?
29572Would you believe it?
29572You are rich and generous, Dicksie; do something for him, will you?
29572You do n''t know him?
29572You do n''t understand?
29572You do n''t want to go down, do you?"
29572You have n''t heard, then?"
29572You heard me, did n''t you?"
29572You keep him out of Medicine Bend, Bob; will you do it?
29572You need fear nothing for yourself in going with her, and nothing for her if you can cover just those two points-- can you remember?
29572You shooting here?"
29572You think he ca n''t shoot?
29572You will ride to Medicine Bend to- night, will you?"
29572You wo n''t fight?
29572You wo n''t?
29572You''ll break with me, will you, Rebstock?
29572You''ll hear no more of this, and I''m going to ask you a question: Why did you go against this when you knew you''d have to square yourself with me?"
29572You,"he added, scrutinizing the third man to scare him to death--"I think you were at Tower W. No?
29572Your men do n''t wear silk dresses, do they?"
29572a year goes like an hour when you''re in love, does n''t it?
29572and, Marion,"he exclaimed, turning without releasing his wife from his arms,"how can I ever make good for all this delay?
29572he called to Dancing,"what water have you got?"
29572he called to Dancing,"what''s the matter with your wood?
29572now who''s this coming here on horseback?
