4515What did she say, Olaf?
4515What do I WANT of her?
4515Where did you start from, and where did you come ashore? 4515 Why do n''t you talk?
4515Why-- talk?
4515You believe me, M''sieu?
4515You do n''t understand a cussed word of it, do you?
4515You have never seen hair the color of this, Pierre?
4515You mean Anderson-- Olaf Anderson-- and the others up at Bathurst Inlet?
4515Your-- your father?
4515And I must be careful and not let you know it, must n''t I?
4515And I''m wondering, after you kill me, and they kill you, WHO''LL HAVE THE GIRL?
4515And for what reason were mysterious enemies coming after her through the gray dawn?
4515And had he guessed correctly?
4515And if dissimulation-- why?
4515And keeping yourself in the background while your Kogmollocks did the work?
4515And then he suddenly added,"Celie, have you any more cartridges for this pop- gun?
4515And was it possible that the girl did not guess her danger as she stood there?
4515And what even would the club avail?
4515And where-- WHERE in God''s name are we going?"
4515And why, Philip asked himself, did these savage little barbarians of the north want HER?
4515But WHY had she come, and what had happened to make her the companion or prisoner of Bram Johnson?
4515But how in Heaven''s name did you get HERE?"
4515But how was he to discover that fact?
4515But would their enemies return?
4515But would you understand?
4515Ca n''t you answer?
4515Can you leave your foxes and poison- baits and your deadfalls long enough for that?"
4515Damned funny, ai n''t it?"
4515Did you see that fellow topple off the fence?
4515Did you split even on the cartridges?"
4515Do I make myself clear?
4515Do you understand?
4515Do you?"
4515Eh, what''s that?"
4515Great Scott, ca n''t you give me some sort of an idea of who you are and where you same from?"
4515Had he twice made a fool of himself?
4515Have you a spare pipeful of tobacco, Phil?
4515How many men you got?"
4515How the devil did you do it?
4515If you have-- let''s see, where did I leave off in that story about Princess Celie and the Duke of Rugni?"
4515Is n''t it in your mind?"
4515It makes one think of-- WHAT?
4515Meanwhile we''ll get a little start for home, eh?
4515Nice little package for her to have opened, eh?"
4515Now, if you were n''t afraid of Bram, and if he has n''t hurt you, why did you look like that?
4515Now-- I wonder WHY?"
4515Now-- what in God''s name does it mean?
4515Or-- had he faith in his prisoner?
4515See those little groups forming?
4515Shall we light some of Bram''s candles?"
4515Should he have winged Bram Johnson, three times a murderer, in place of offering him a greeting?
4515Should he knock the wolf- man''s brains out as he knelt there?
4515So-- is it strange that he should snare rabbits with, a woman''s hair?"
4515That''s it-- would you understand that I love every inch of you from the ground up or would you think I was just beast?
4515The OTHERS?
4515There was an unmistakable irony in his voice when he said:"It''s funny, Raine, that I should like you, ai n''t it?
4515Understand?
4515Understand?
4515Understand?
4515Was Bram Johnson actually mad-- or was he playing a colossal sham?
4515Was he afraid you might shoot him in his sleep if he left the temptation in your way?"
4515Was it conceivable, he asked himself, that the Eskimos had some reason for NOT killing Paul Armin, and that Celie was aware of the fact?
4515Was it not a long, long time ago, and had she not in that time become, flesh and soul, a part of him?
4515Was it not possible that the spying Kogmollocks had seen him go away on the hunt, and had taken advantage of the opportunity to attack the cabin?
4515Was it only this morning that he had first seen her, he asked himself?
4515Was it possible that Bram was striking straight north for Coronation Gulf and the Eskimo?
4515Was it possible that he understood her?
4515Was it possible that his shots had frightened Bram?
4515Was it possible that she had comprehended some word or thought of what he had expressed to her?
4515Was that it?"
4515Was the suspicion real and the stupidity a clever dissimulation?
4515What chance could this other man have?
4515What do you want of this girl, and what have you done with her people?"
4515What had brought her to the barren Arctic coast of America?
4515What has happened?
4515What''s yours?"
4515Where are we going?
4515Where is he?"
4515Who is she?
4515Who was she?
4515Who were the mysterious enemies from whom Bram the madman had saved her?
4515Why are you here with a madman and a murderer?"
4515Why did you wait until this morning?
4515Why do n''t you talk, and let me know who she is, and why she is here, and what you want me to do?"
4515Why had she gone to Siberia?
4515Why not be human?
4515Why was she with Bram Johnson?
4515Why you no shoot when I am there-- at head of pack?"
4515Why, then, had he not attacked him the night of the caribou kill?
4515Would n''t you?"
4515You landed from that ship, did n''t you?
4515You''re from Denmark?
29407And Kedsty?
29407And O''Connor found out all this?
29407And Ponte, Kinoo, Mooie--?
29407And he knows you are here, of course?
29407And the reason for your suspicion?
29407And then-- what?
29407And you have come to help me-- to pay me for what I tried to do for you? 29407 And you make this confession knowing that you are about to die?"
29407And you refuse to confess your motive?
29407And you?
29407And, by the way, what did you think of the young lady?
29407Are you comfortable, little Gray Goose?
29407Are you listening?
29407Are you wet, little Gray Goose?
29407But if you should n''t?
29407But our greatest danger of being caught is right now, is n''t it?
29407But there must be personal affairs, affairs which you would like to entrust, perhaps, to me?
29407But why_ hiding_?
29407But-- perhaps-- in a sheltered place--?
29407Can you remember that we were, Gray Goose?
29407Did n''t you ever notice, O''Connor, that in a certain light under poplar trees one''s face is sometimes ghastly?
29407Did you-- er-- see this other gentleman kill John Barkley?
29407Do n''t you believe in God?
29407Do you know,she said,"that according to an old and sacred code of the North you belong to me?"
29407Do you understand, Marette? 29407 Even if I tell you-- soon-- that I killed Barkley?"
29407Good God, do you mean to tell me you do n''t know, Kent?
29407Has some one else been confessing?
29407Have I got to go all over it again?
29407Have n''t you seen O''Connor? 29407 How easily some men lose their tempers, do n''t they-- Jeems?"
29407How soon can you be ready, Marette?
29407I did make one pretty thorough confession, did n''t I, Father?
29407I do n''t believe you did, and Inspector Kedsty does n''t believe it-- yet the mighty queer part of it is--"What?
29407I have said a lot in a short time, have n''t I? 29407 Is it because of the girl hiding up at your bungalow, Kedsty?"
29407Is n''t it possible for a decent man to kill another man and not be called a liar when he tells about it? 29407 Is she a young woman?"
29407It has n''t always been like this, has it, Fingers?
29407It seems only yesterday-- or so?
29407Laselle-- Jean Laselle?
29407Marette, where is Kedsty?
29407Marette, you believe me?
29407Marette,he cried,"where are we going?"
29407Mercer?
29407Mind if I smoke with you?
29407Most men were fighters in those days of the gold rushes, were n''t they, Fingers? 29407 O''Connor, if you do n''t believe a dying man''s word-- you have n''t much respect for death, have you?"
29407Old? 29407 Or-- if I told you-- that I-- killed-- Kedsty?"
29407Pay you?
29407Tell me, Gray Goose-- what happened?
29407The Indian?
29407Was n''t a kingdom lost once upon a time because some fellow did n''t have a horseshoe? 29407 Were you asleep, Kent?"
29407What if you should n''t die?
29407What makes you think you are dying?
29407What would you do?
29407Where is Cardigan?
29407Where is she? 29407 Where is she?"
29407Why did n''t you wait?
29407Will the rain wipe out our footprints, Jeems?
29407Will you be ready in ten minutes?
29407Will you unlace them and pull them off for me, Jeems?
29407Will you-- Jeems? 29407 Wonderful black hair, blue eyes, wears high- heeled shoes just about half as big as your hand-- and very beautiful?"
29407Worse, is n''t it?
29407Would it seem more homelike if I smoked?
29407Yes, Marette-- why the devil have you come to see me at just the moment I''m due to explode? 29407 Yes, you see the point, Jeems, do n''t you?
29407Yes--?
29407You are James Kent, are n''t you?
29407You believe that I love you, that I did n''t kill John Barkley, that I am going to fight for you as long as God gives me breath to fight?
29407You believe that, Jeems?
29407You do n''t? 29407 You fainted-- and it happened then?"
29407You have heard-- about-- Ben Tatman?
29407You heard_ that_, Mercer?
29407You know the great Sulphur Country beyond Fort Simpson, westward between the Two Nahannis?
29407You mean take time to think up a story that will hold water,_ mon père_? 29407 You mean, Jeems, that if one of three possible things does n''t happen, we''ll get through safely?"
29407You mean-- you were unconscious?
29407You were at school there?
29407You-- didn''t hear?
29407You-- you did n''t come down the stair?
29407Add another egg, will you, Mercer?
29407And I want to know-- it''s the biggest thing I EVER wanted to know-- did you kill Barkley?"
29407And I''ve been wondering, why did n''t she wear bush- country shoes or moccasins?"
29407And Kedsty was n''t expecting her, was he?
29407And after that?
29407And he was dying-- and even this stranger girl called him a liar?
29407And if I am, will you shake hands?"
29407And mother Anne''s father--""Yes--?"
29407And now, why?"
29407And now, will you listen to it?
29407And please do n''t forget the cigars, will you, Father?"
29407And the question which Kent found it impossible to answer was, had Marette Radisson really gone down the river on that scow?
29407And then she said,"Jeems, if we should be caught by the Police-- it would probably be quite soon, would n''t it?"
29407And then,"Jeems--""Yes, Niska, Little Goddess--?"
29407And was she going with him?
29407And what''s your other name, and how old are you, and what do you want of me?"
29407And why be unhappy because one has only a little while to live?
29407And you came to me, and I''m here with you now, because--""Of what?"
29407And-- if you do n''t mind-- will you turn off the light?
29407And-- see here, old man!--will you do a dying man the biggest favor he ever asked in his life?"
29407Are n''t you a little nervous, sitting so near to a man who''s ready to explode while you''re looking at him?"
29407Are n''t you?"
29407Are your eggs properly done, sir?"
29407Blame Cardigan for giving him back his life?
29407Blame him for the glorious knowledge that he was not going to die?
29407But what were ten years there as compared with forty or fifty under the sod?
29407But why, still later, had he almost been done to death?
29407But you did n''t come to talk religion?"
29407But you, Jeems?
29407Can you guess where it was?"
29407Confound it, man,_ did you_?"
29407Did you see Rossand''s fleet leaving for up north?
29407Do n''t happen to know where she is staying or why she is at the Landing, do you?"
29407Do n''t you know--?"
29407Do you care if I ask you about the girl?"
29407Do you mind telling me who it is?"
29407Do you think what I have just said will free Sandy McTrigger?"
29407Does that comfort you-- like the woman you prayed the Lord for?"
29407Father Layonne or-- Kedsty?"
29407Fingers, am I right?
29407Funny, is n''t it, that their names should be so strangely alike-- Mary and Marette?
29407Great heaven,_ mon père_, do n''t you believe me?"
29407Had Marette prepared for that?
29407Had she gone away?
29407Have n''t you come in touch with the Police anywhere within the last year?
29407He planned it all, every move, even to the screaming in front of your cell--""You mean-- Kedsty?"
29407How long ago was it that Mercer had seen Kedsty?
29407How long have I got?"
29407If I''m alive tomorrow morning, will you tell me?"
29407If she belonged in the North, if she was a part of it, why was she taking all of this apparently worthless footwear with her?
29407If she was from Montreal, why was she going north?
29407Is it because this is my last breakfast?"
29407Is n''t it splendid?
29407Is that it?"
29407It is-- Fingers, is it inspiration?
29407It was then that she had given him that splendid view of her amazingly long lashes and had countered softly,"What if you should n''t die?"
29407Jeems, Jeems, you are not like those other men I learned to hate?
29407Jeems, do you see that hump on his left shoulder, like a great epaulet?"
29407Kedsty?"
29407Kent?"
29407Knowing that he was going to live, why had she not remained to help him if she could?
29407Looking back over your life, does it seem so very long ago that you were a boy, a small boy?"
29407Now it would be a topping joke if some other complication should set in and fool us all again, would n''t it?"
29407Remember Follette-- and Ladouceur?
29407Remember how we''ve always played up to the big hunch?
29407Shall I tell him you are prepared to see him?"
29407Shall I tell you about it, Marette?"
29407Shall I tell you why I came to see you at Doctor Cardigan''s?
29407Shall we not talk about them?"
29407She was pretty, was n''t she?"
29407Sounds incredible, does n''t it?
29407That is it-- Jeems?"
29407The question which seated itself most insistently in his mind was, why had she come?
29407Then at last the yearning overcame him to have the soul speak out, that his God might be more merciful, and he said:"My boy, you are sorry?
29407Then he turned, and said:"Which will you have, Kent-- a wash- up and breakfast, or a visitor?"
29407Then, with rather startling unexpectedness, she asked him,"Where will they look for us tomorrow?"
29407There were only two things I loved, Jeems--""What?"
29407Understand, Marette?
29407Understand, old man?"
29407Was her relationship to Sandy McTrigger such that inquisitiveness alone had brought her to see the man who had saved him?
29407Was it conceivable that she was playing that game against Kedsty?
29407Was it not possible that she, too, was playing a game in giving the impression that she was leaving down- river on the hidden scow?
29407Was it possible that Kedsty himself had sent her for some reason which he could not even guess at?
29407Was it simply that he should be more closely watched, or was it a command to move him to one of the cells close to the detachment office?
29407Was it, Kent?"
29407Was it, after all, merely a matter of curiosity?
29407Was n''t that it?"
29407Was she mad or playing an amazingly improper joke?
29407Was the fact of murder necessarily branded in one''s face?
29407What could be the motive of her visit-- unless it was to thank him for the confession that had given Sandy McTrigger his freedom?
29407What has brought about the change in you?
29407What is her name?"
29407What is your game?
29407What was her power over Kedsty?
29407What was she to Kedsty?
29407What was the order that the Inspector had written on a sheet of paper for Constable Pelly?
29407What''s your game, old man?"
29407When none came, he demanded,"Was that according to the Criminal Code?
29407Where is she?"
29407Where was Fingers?
29407Who was Marette Radisson?
29407Who''s the visitor?
29407Why did n''t we make for the river?
29407Why did you confess to a crime which you did not commit?"
29407Why did you stop for_ him_?"
29407Why do so many believe that I lie?"
29407Why had she come to Athabasca Landing?
29407Why had she come to see him?
29407Why have we come to Kedsty''s?
29407Why should I blame Cardigan?
29407Why should they wait?
29407Why should they waste time under Kedsty''s roof when freedom lay out there for the taking?
29407Why was it that Kedsty would like to see her dead?
29407Why was it that every one seemed to disbelieve him?
29407Why was she hiding under his roof?
29407Why was she in his house?
29407Why, then, had she gone away?
29407Why?
29407Will you arrange it?"
29407Will you arrange these things for me?
29407Will you come now?"
29407Will you forgive me for bringing up this memory that must be precious to you, only that you might more fully understand what I am going to say?
29407Will you forgive me?"
29407Will you promise to stay here, no matter what happens down there, no matter what you may hear?
29407Will you, Gray Goose?"
29407Will you-- no matter what happens-- if I promise-- when I come back-- to kiss you?"
29407Would Father Layonne come again in the morning?
29407Would a sane person wear pumps with heels like those up here?"
29407Would n''t you fight again today for her?"
29407Would you care to have me kiss you?"
29407You are dying?"
29407You do n''t mind a fellow saying all this-- when he is going to pop off soon-- do you?"
29407You have n''t forgotten-- you will never forget-- Ben Tatman?"
29407You repent that you killed John Barkley?"
29407You will not INSIST?
29407You will not be lonely?"
29407You''re not going?"
4747Afraid--He was going to add"Of what?"
4747Afraid?
4747And I, John Keith, in some mysterious way unknown to me at present, am to deliver Miriam Kirkstone to you?
4747And die like a rabbit? 4747 And now will you let me send you to bed, Mary Josephine?"
4747And that-- THAT was it?
4747And what did you think of her, dear?
4747And when the telephone rings, you will be here-- to answer?
4747And why John Keith? 4747 And why is it that John Keith, dead and buried, should have anything to do with this?"
4747And why will it save your life?
4747And you believe her?
4747And you do not believe her?
4747And you have watched them for six months?
4747And you would have come with me-- that night?
4747But why did n''t she confide in me, Conniston?
4747Conniston, do you know what you are saying?
4747Derry, DON''T YOU REMEMBER?
4747Derry, IS JOHN KEITH ALIVE?
4747Derry, do n''t you know me? 4747 Derry, is it the right thing for young ladies to call on their gentlemen friends over here?"
4747Did you know this man?
4747Do I look like the old Derwent Conniston, YOUR Derwent Conniston? 4747 Do I remember what?"
4747Do n''t you think so, Keith?
4747Do what?
4747Do you happen to know if McDowell is at barracks?
4747He had no suspicion of you, Shan Tung?
4747He has been there today? 4747 How am I to believe you?"
4747How am I to deliver Miriam Kirkstone to you?
4747How did you know I was coming HERE?
4747How you used to come in at the very last and tuck me in at night, Derry? 4747 I still owe the Service a month or so before my term expires, do n''t I?
4747I suppose you mean Miss Kirkstone?
4747Is that it-- John?
4747It was n''t YOU who made him die, was it, Derry? 4747 It was odd that she should call you up so soon-- and in the storm-- wasn''t it?
4747It''s one- sided-- a crime against--"WHERE IS THAT BIG FAT BROTHER?
4747It''s queer what miracles small things can work sometimes, is n''t it? 4747 John Keith?"
4747Johnny, did n''t I tell you there was lots bigger lies than yourn? 4747 Little girl, will you tell me the truth?"
4747Mary-- Mary Josephine-- how do you know?
4747May I trust you to keep in confidence what I have told you? 4747 Miss Kirkstone, what is the trouble?
4747Now what the devil is he taking all that trouble for?
4747Of course you remember this room?
4747Quite a scheme, do n''t you think, old chap? 4747 Seemed very anxious to see you, did n''t she, Conniston?
4747Shan Tung has been to see him-- McDowell?
4747Shan Tung?
4747That night-- I ran away?
4747Then tell me this-- would you care if something happened to Shan Tung? 4747 Then-- I was right?"
4747Then-- did you speak the truth when you reported to Inspector McDowell? 4747 There''s a lot in the view- point, is n''t there?
4747This John Keith?
4747WHERE IS HE?
4747WHY?
4747WOULD YOU CARE?
4747Was n''t that it, Miss Kirkstone?
4747Were you ever up there-- through the Long Night-- alone?
4747What are you going to do?
4747What do the Departmental''facts''tell you, Conniston?
4747What happened last night?
4747What is it?
4747What seems to be the matter?
4747What-- what has Keith got to do with this?
4747Who told you?
4747Why did n''t she confide in me?
4747Why did this''intense interest''you speak of in John Keith begin at about the same time your suspicions began to include Shan Tung?
4747Why do n''t you demand an explanation of Miss Kirkstone?
4747Why in heaven''s name did n''t you bring Keith back with you, or, if not Keith, at least a written confession, signed by him?
4747Why the deuce should I let a confounded Chinaman and a pretty girl get on my nerves at this stage of the game? 4747 Will you tell me why he is going to Winnipeg?"
4747Would you like to hear how utterly John Keith is dead and how he died?
4747Yes?
4747You ARE glad, are n''t you, Derry? 4747 You are glad to see me, are n''t you, Derry?"
4747You love me?
4747You mean that?
4747You mean to Coronation Gulf? 4747 You swear that it will be the truth?"
4747You will come again?
4747You will tell me the truth about John Keith?
4747You-- you''re talking about McDowell?
4747Am I mad to allow such a suspicion to creep into my brain?
4747And I''m asking you-- WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?"
4747And her hair?
4747And her lips were moaning softly,"Ten days-- ten days-- and then-- what?"
4747And how we used to whisper to ourselves there in the darkness, and at last you would kiss me good- night?
4747And never for an hour could he put out of his mind the one great mystifying question in this adventure of life and death, who was Derwent Conniston?
4747And should he in self- defense fight to poison his own thoughts against her?
4747And so I''d like to know-- just why-- you killed Judge Kirkstone?"
4747And suddenly he asked himself: What did it mean?
4747And then, as if he had only thought of the matter, he said,"You''re going to reenlist, are n''t you, Conniston?"
4747And then, breaking in like the beat of a drum on the introduction, his voice demanded,"Conniston-- DID YOU GET YOUR MAN?"
4747And, if I killed him, do you think I''m sorry for it, even though I hang?"
4747And-- O Derry, Derry-- why did you do it?
4747But WHY did n''t you bring back a signed confession from him?
4747But is she more to me than Derwent Conniston''s sister may be to you?
4747But what''s the use of keeping it back now?
4747Can you guess?"
4747Can you make yourself believe that it is possible?
4747Conniston, how are you?"
4747Conniston, if you had known these things and had been in my shoes, what would you have done?"
4747Could Shan Tung meet those wonderful eyes as he was meeting them now, he wondered?
4747Could a Chinaman possess that voice, whose very perfection shamed him?
4747Could anything be funnier?"
4747Could he face them and master them, as McDowell had hinted?
4747Could it be possible that she had hoped he would say that John Keith was alive?
4747DID YOU KILL HIM?"
4747DON''T YOU KNOW ME?"
4747Derry, Derry, WHY DID YOU DO IT?"
4747Derry, tell me honest-- are you AFRAID of me?"
4747Did I kill Judge Kirkstone?
4747Did it look good enough for his friends to see?
4747Did n''t I?
4747Did you kill Judge Kirkstone?"
4747Do I?"
4747Do n''t mind my questioning you, do you, Derry?"
4747Do n''t you know me, Duggan?"
4747Do n''t you know me?"
4747Do n''t you like me as well as you did one, two, three, seven years ago?
4747Do n''t you-- want me here?"
4747Do you begin to understand me?
4747Do you concede that?
4747Do you get me, Keith?
4747Do you not recognize me?"
4747Do you understand, Conniston?
4747Do you understand?
4747Do you understand?"
4747Do you understand?"
4747Do you want to go with me?"
4747Do you?"
4747Does the horror of it get hold of you?
4747Eh?"
4747Far off in the mountains he dreamed of, alone, just they two, what might not happen?
4747First, where is Shan Tung?"
4747Had the Englishman, in that casual and uncommunicative way of his, referred to the contents of this chest?
4747How could he have helped you?"
4747How''s your Uncle Andy for a schemer, eh, Johnny?"
4747I say, wo n''t it be a ripping joke on McDowell?"
4747II"Why did I kill Judge Kirkstone?"
4747IS JOHN KEITH DEAD?"
4747If the Chinaman had exposed him, why had n''t McDowell sent officers up to the Shack?
4747Is it necessary to ask you to pledge secrecy in the matter?"
4747Is it not a great reward for the little I am asking?"
4747Is it not so?"
4747Is it so very bad, do you think?"
4747Is it-- so strange?"
4747Is n''t that funny?
4747It was n''t you?"
4747John Keith, will you follow me?"
4747Miss Kirkstone, do you love the Chinaman?"
4747Now was the time-- and why should he not go?
4747Or was it because-- because--"She bent her head and whispered strangely,"Was it because you were afraid?"
4747Peter Kirkstone, is it your desire that your sister, Miriam, give herself to me, Prince Kao, tonight?"
4747Rotten, is n''t it?"
4747Shall we, Mary Josephine?"
4747The two questions he must answer now were, What was Shan Tung''s game?
4747Therefore why not come to them and sleep?
4747Understand?
4747Understand?
4747WHY?
4747Was Conniston right?
4747Was Duggan right?
4747Was Mary Josephine unfair?
4747Was it because you did n''t care?
4747Was it conceivable that the riverman would not recognize him?
4747Was it in an hour of madness that he and Conniston had pledged themselves to this amazing adventure?
4747Was it not possible that it held for him a solution to the mystery that was facing him in the presence of Mary Josephine?
4747Was it possible?
4747Was it that Conniston wanted him to come back?
4747Was it the real Derwent Conniston speaking now?
4747Was it worth the chance?
4747Was n''t that nice, Derry?"
4747Was that it?"
4747Were you hurt somewhere else, Derry?"
4747What could the Inspector be doing up at the Shack in his absence?
4747What did he mean?
4747What did the words mean?
4747What did you do?"
4747What do you say?"
4747What if I said I did n''t kill Judge Kirkstone?"
4747What if McDowell, like Duggan, saw in him nothing more than a stranger?
4747What shall I say?"
4747What the devil you sorry for, Johnny?
4747What was it that Conniston had been trying to tell him all that day, when he had felt the presence of him in the gloom of the Barrens?
4747What was it that Conniston had forgotten?
4747What''s the excitement?"
4747Where is he?"
4747Where is that big fat brother of hers?"
4747Why did I save your life which was in the hollow of my hand?
4747Why did I warn you in such a way that I knew you would come to see me?
4747Why did n''t I turn you over to the hangman?
4747Why did n''t you let me know?
4747Why had Shan Tung given him this warning?
4747Why had Shan Tung written them unless-- with his compliments-- he was giving him a warning and the chance to save himself?
4747Why have you hidden away from me all these years, leaving me among those who you knew hated me as they hated you?
4747Why not slip on a raincoat and join me up here?
4747Why should he not answer the call that had come to him through all the years?
4747Why, then, had she not waited until the storm was over?
4747Why-- why did you-- go out-- through the-- window?
4747Why?
4747Will you help me to discover her secret?"
4747Will you help me, if I help you?"
4747Will you swear on your word of honor to let me know the moment Shan Tung returns?"
4747Will you?"
4747Without movement or speech he registered the question,"What do you want?"
4747Would he come?
4747You have n''t forgotten him?"
4747You know Brady, the Company agent?
4747You lied to her, but what''s that?
4747You remember how we used to plan on trapping during the winter and hunting for gold during the summer?"
4747You''ll return to that stinking mess of Eskimo igloos?
4747You-- you-- understand?"
4747and What did Shan Tung expect him to do?
45549A crab?
45549All O.K.?
45549All O.K.?
45549All quiet on the front?
45549Any idea where they go?
45549Any more turkey''s stolen, Uncle Norman?
45549Any rocks or islands near?
45549Any special reason?
45549Anyone in our cots?
45549Anything I can do to help?
45549Are they all right, Aunt Belle?
45549Are they laying for him?
45549Are we here?
45549Are you getting enough to eat, Bob?
45549Begun to wish you had brought your rubbers?
45549Bob? 45549 Burnam left?"
45549Can I get something to eat here?
45549Can you run a plane?
45549Did they get it back?
45549Did you do all that this morning?
45549Did you drop a little box here?
45549Did you get any sleep back there?
45549Did your Aunt think we had flown to the bottom of the lake?
45549Do all these peddlers have wagons like that?
45549Do you get dizzy easily, that is, does it make you sick to your stomach when you get on a high place and look over?
45549Do you have to send them back?
45549Do you know where your uncle is working?
45549Does he pick up American goods to take back?
45549Does he seem to be doing it, Uncle Norman?
45549Does it get much higher than it is now?
45549Enjoy your dinner?
45549Ever been up in a plane, sir?
45549Going to have a look about Isle La Motte?
45549Gosh, Buddy, remember that story of the brothers who watched the smoke go up the chimney?
45549Got enough gas?
45549Got good locks?
45549Got something on your mind besides your cap?
45549Great guns-- oh, what happened to Pedro?
45549Have many raids like that?
45549Have we been dreaming, or_ did_ we come back from Burlington in the teeth of a rip- snorting gale?
45549He can the English speak?
45549Hey, what the blazes do you think you''re doing?
45549Hezzy?
45549How about your own umbrella?
45549How are you, Burley? 45549 How did those old boys ever get anywhere or have time to do anything?"
45549How did you chaps discover this bunch?
45549How did you like Hezzy?
45549How do you explain the title, Bradshaw?
45549How do you like flying, Uncle Norman?
45549How long has he been coming?
45549How long would it take you to get me to Burlington?
45549How many demerits did they give you?
45549How soon are you starting?
45549How''s Pat?
45549I got them here all right,he muttered,"But how can I get them away?
45549I say, Buddy, did you hear anyone call?
45549I say, did n''t you have enough of it?
45549I say, is n''t that a light over there on Fisher''s?
45549I say, what are you thinking about? 45549 If we land on the water will that be all right for you, can you get to your place easily?"
45549Intend to eat sparingly?
45549Is he a Vermonter, Uncle Norman?
45549Is n''t your aunt the woman who raises such a flock of turkeys?
45549Is that a threat or a promise?
45549Is that for the cattle?
45549Is that you, Norman?
45549Is that you, boys?
45549Is this place near enough?
45549It ai n''t Bob?
45549It is good?
45549It''s O. K.,answered Bob, then added,"See that road?"
45549Jimmm?
45549Know anything about cars?
45549Let''s get some clothes on, I ca n''t sleep any more, can you?
45549Like to go up again?
45549Little Greaser?
45549Looks as if it''s working all right, does n''t it?
45549Maybe, but holy hoofs, what''s this kid doing it for?
45549My goodness, boys, what on earth did he do?
45549Need any assistance, boys?
45549Need any help?
45549No doubt, but I hope Her Highness does n''t do any more--"More?
45549No?
45549Now, how do you expect to eat your meal if you talk so much? 45549 Now, keep your shirt on, ca n''t you?
45549Of course not, Bob, but where will you sleep?
45549Same ones all the time?
45549Say Jim, know what this makes me think of, these people I mean?
45549Say, Buddy, suppose we''ll ever be lucky enough to meet that kid again?
45549Say, know what that looks like?
45549Say, what''s your rush?
45549Say, where''s that Carrying Point?
45549Shall I get in now, Jim?
45549She does n''t look much like the paper bags they made their first experiments with, does she?
45549Spot anything, Buddy?
45549Suppose they can climb up that wall?
45549Sure Hezzy is n''t putting his own brand on them?
45549Think there is room-- I mean think it''s wide enough so we can get into it without smashing the wings?
45549Thunder and Mars, why did n''t you let me do part of it?
45549Thundering rattlers, is he the thief?
45549Want me to pilot, old man?
45549Want to build a fire and toast some of these marshmallows?
45549Want to have a look at him?
45549Want to look around now?
45549We want a basket again, do n''t we? 45549 Well, I say, where does this Burnam come in?"
45549Well, go on and search me if you want to, you half- baked nut--"I say, how do you get that way?
45549Well, how''s the tooth, Aunt Belle?
45549Well, you lads get a good look at Vermont?
45549Were you frightened during the storm?
45549What did they do that for?
45549What do you make of that?
45549What do you mean?
45549What do you think you''re doing?
45549What in heck are they up to?
45549What is the boy doing with the mud hole?
45549What sort of chap is he, about your size?
45549What the heck can we do?
45549What the heck is he doing?
45549What you American kids doing here anyway? 45549 What you doing here anyway?"
45549What''ll we do with Her Highness? 45549 What''s all the shouting about?"
45549What''s eating you besides the man''s looks and his reception of us the other day?
45549What''s the matter with her?
45549What''s the matter?
45549What?
45549Where did you learn to do that?
45549Where they stopping?
45549Who is Her Highness?
45549Who is it?
45549Why do n''t you go back above the shore?
45549Why put fish in, do they expect to raise sardines?
45549Will he mind if we go closer?
45549Will the plane carry three of us?
45549Will you answer it? 45549 Would it be too much trouble for you to take me?"
45549Yes, I know you did--"And did n''t you enjoy air traveling?
45549Yes, but how the blazes do you expect to pick up the trail in Canada?
45549Yes, now, is this right? 45549 You can come down on the water to speak to the men we''ll have there?"
45549You covered up?
45549You never did cotton up to Hezzy did you?
45549You want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
45549A book of bed- time stories?"
45549And is n''t he the grand lad for keeping his eyes open and his wits about him?"
45549Anything left in that basket?"
45549Are they good?"
45549Can you understand that?"
45549Come along-- that is-- is there anything we can do to help you, sir?"
45549Could you drop food to them?"
45549Did Bradshaw tell you that it was fitted up like a war- time trench, with living quarters, periscopes and what- not?"
45549Did n''t we slide down on the lightning the other day?"
45549Did you hear your Aunt say whether the turkeys are dying off because of the dampness?"
45549Did you know, Fenton, that the Carrying Point is covered?
45549Do n''t we want to go up tomorrow?
45549Do these storms last very long?"
45549Do you know that out- post right on the line?"
45549Do you think that pair are batty?"
45549Fenton?"
45549Got a permit a fly into Canada?"
45549Got plenty of gas?
45549Great job, is n''t it?"
45549How about it, light meat or dark, Jim?"
45549How are your air- legs, wobbly?"
45549How did you boys happen to get that man and his folks?
45549How did you happen to be out there?"
45549How did you happen to come down right here just as those lads were getting funny?"
45549How did you happen to get into the scrap?"
45549How did you like the ride?"
45549How do you like air traveling?"
45549How do you like air- traveling, Uncle Norman?"
45549How will you let us know if you receive it O.K.?"
45549I say, did you happen to notice the number of that limousine?
45549I''ll make a hitch here, so you''ll come just under me--""Sure that will hold us both?"
45549If it was all right, what the heck did he dodge us for?"
45549Is it usually so?"
45549Is she all right, or has something gone wrong with her?"
45549Is that what Burnam''s after?"
45549Is that what you do when you have a good meal at home?"
45549Is the house afloat?"
45549Is the water very rough?"
45549It ends in a rock cliff about a half mile below here?"
45549Jim?"
45549Know what he reminds me of, Bob?"
45549Know what that means?"
45549Know where that is?"
45549Now, can you get her out of this trap?"
45549Put her under arrest?"
45549Remember how long it is?"
45549Remember the day we were coming up and you noticed a neck of land, lake on both sides, that connected the two larger sections of North Hero?"
45549Right?"
45549Run along, old boy-- don''t you know your onions, or have n''t you got any this load?"
45549Savvy?"
45549Say, Jim did you notice the lake when we got home?"
45549Say, Jim, what do you suppose he is?"
45549See those fellows?"
45549Suppose your aunt would mind letting us take a lunch to eat in the air, or some nice place we pick out?"
45549That voice sounded as if it''s a little north, did n''t you think so?"
45549There is n''t any harm in trying to make friends with the boy, but I wouldn''t--""Butt- in?
45549They both told us to have a good time, and helping you looks to me like a good time--""Besides, what would we risk?
45549Want to know the readings back here?"
45549We have an extra helmet--""Shall I need rubbers?"
45549We were all at our place--""And Bob was to be sent to school?"
45549Well, we ca n''t lose all your aunt''s baskets and expect her to pack grub stakes for us, can we?"
45549What are you doing here and what have you got a green cover on your bus for?
45549What are you doing here?
45549What are you smuggling in that car?"
45549What day is it?"
45549What do you do with strangers?"
45549What do you know about that?"
45549What do you think?"
45549What do you want to do over here?"
45549What do_ you_ think of him?"
45549What shall we do with them?"
45549What sort of crab do you think she is?"
45549Where can we take you?"
45549Where in blazes is Pedro?"
45549Where was I?"
45549Why do n''t they have a good warm place to keep them when the weather is had?"
45549Why not have one of the men help him in what he is doing?
45549Will that help?"
45549Wonder if there was anything the matter with them when they arrived, or if some one over there did n''t want watch dogs?"
45549Would n''t that ravine down there be a corker place for bootleggers or smugglers to go sneaking from one side to the other?
45549You boys seen enough to satisfy you for the time being?"
45549You do n''t mind, do you?"
45549You look after your end here--""Well, I''ve been looking after my end, but blast it all, how can I keep the gang-- ten new ones, under cover?
45549You want to drive?"
45549Your pa was all spruced up-- and the next year they were in Texas--""You boys coming?"
4702About-- Black Roger?
4702Am I not right, M''sieu Carrigan? 4702 An''you promise give me zat fight, w''en you are strong?"
4702And Carmin Fanchet?
4702And Marie- Anne?
4702And YOU, until the last-- did you not fight to have her put behind prison bars with her brother?
4702And YOU?
4702And he told you it is determined that I shall fight Bateese in the morning?
4702And one who tries to kill-- who almost succeeds-- what is the penalty for that?
4702And the other two?
4702And why-- why should she insist in a matter such as this, which properly should be settled among men?
4702And you are disappointed, St. Pierre? 4702 And you are willing to wager the point, M''sieu David?"
4702And you insist, M''sieu David?
4702And you will forgive me for-- for saying such beastly things to you?
4702And you will help me up?
4702And you''ll take me with you?
4702And you?
4702And-- Golden-- Hair?
4702Because I talked about this woman, Carmin Fanchet?
4702But after I have told you-- what then? 4702 But ze head, m''sieu?"
4702Did I-- hurt you?
4702Did he tell you about it?
4702Did n''t Bateese explain to you last night?
4702Did n''t Bateese tell you that?
4702Did you not expect me to return and apologize for leaving you so suddenly this afternoon? 4702 Do I mak''ze word plain so m''sieu compren''?"
4702Do n''t you realize what has happened? 4702 Do you care?
4702Do you mind telling me who you are, and where we are going?
4702Do you see that, Concombre Bateese?
4702Does ze little partridge rooster keep his claws warm in those in ze winter? 4702 For God''s sake, Audemard-- tell me--""I, m''sieu?
4702For your husband?
4702Has she not the sweetest voice in the world, m''sieu? 4702 Have you seen Bateese this morning?"
4702Her camp?
4702Home--?
4702How are you, David?
4702I ask you,said he,"if you would really stake your life in a matter such as that?
4702I do n''t mind telling you it is going to be difficult for me to do that-- because-- well, this is a most unusual situation, is n''t it? 4702 I say, is there another woman like her in the world, m''sieu?"
4702I was thinking, Bateese-- what will happen to me if you get me in those arms when we fight? 4702 I wonder,"she said in a low voice,"what Roger Audemard''s own story might be if he were here to tell it?"
4702I? 4702 Is he an old man?"
4702Is it true that St. Pierre can not whip you, Bateese?
4702Is it true that you have given your word to fight Bateese?
4702Is that why you have given your men orders to kill me if I try to escape?
4702It does n''t hurt so much now, does it?
4702It would n''t be fair to tell you, would it?
4702Joe, what do you say-- shall you and I return and put up a REAL fight for them?
4702May I?
4702PAR LES MILLE CORNES DU DIABLE, you t''ink Bateese lie, m''sieu? 4702 Shall we be waiting long?"
4702She is your wife, Audemard, is it possible you do n''t love her?
4702She says that I am to make no effort to leave this bateau-- that I am to be killed if I try to escape? 4702 Somet''ing ver''funny once more, is eet-- w''at?"
4702St. Pierre prefers these-- on occasions,she said,"Do you?"
4702St. Pierre say no man make beeg noise at-- what you call heem-- funeral? 4702 St. Pierre, do you lie?
4702Tell me, did she not fight?
4702Then I am a prisoner? 4702 Then-- you judged her without absolute knowledge of fact?
4702This-- this Roger Audemard-- if you catch him-- what will you do with him?
4702W''at you say, m''sieu?
4702We have moved from the tar- sands?
4702Well, what did you think of it, comrade?
4702What have you done to Marie- Anne-- your wife?
4702What!--You dare talk lak that to Concombre Bateese, w''at is great''st fightin''man on all T''ree River? 4702 When will this man St. Pierre come to see me?"
4702Who is the other?
4702Why are they not camping over here with us?
4702Why do you say''almost''?
4702Why is it impossible?
4702Why is it that you sit in darkness?
4702Why no light over there in the corner, and why sing that death- song to chase away the devil when there is no devil near?
4702Why not En Roulant ma Boule, my sweet Jeanne? 4702 Why not come out squarely, honestly, like men?
4702Why play like little children, M''sieu Carrigan?
4702Why''madame,''when I have given you permission to call me''Marie- Anne''?
4702Will you bring me my pack and clothes in the morning? 4702 Will you eat-- now?"
4702With these?
4702Yes?
4702You are not hurt-- badly?
4702You are surprised? 4702 You believe you are going to hang me?"
4702You had an idea, M''sieu David?
4702You have not gone to bed, m''sieu?
4702You lak ze fight, m''sieu?
4702You love all that, m''sieu?
4702You made them?
4702You mak''guess, eh?
4702You mean that I must make my own guess?
4702You mean?
4702You see somet''ing ver''fonny, m''sieu?
4702You understand, David? 4702 You would do that?"
4702You would stake your life?
4702An''you will w''ip heem, eh, m''sieu?
4702And I am wondering-- after they do happen-- if you will care so very much?"
4702And I''m going to ask you, M''sieu David, will you play square with me?
4702And St. Pierre?
4702And always, day and night, he is asking that same question,''Has any one seen Black Roger Audemard?''
4702And as for a wager--""Yes-- what have you to wager?"
4702And for the first time he asked himself another question, Where was the man, St. Pierre?
4702And had Marie- Anne done that?
4702And he heard again the mad monotone of Andre''s voice, crying plaintively,"HAS ANY ONE SEEN BLACK ROGER AUDEMARD?"
4702And if that was conceivable, what had they done with Marie- Anne?
4702And in his head a voice seemed to cry out to him,"What did Carmin Fanchet ever do to you?"
4702And my men?
4702And on top of that disgrace-- you insist that I pay the wager?"
4702And she did n''t wait to bandage ME up, did she?"
4702And the next?"
4702And then,"Will you light the lamps, M''sieu David?"
4702And tonight-- now-- was she with St. Pierre, waiting as they had waited last night for the rising of the moon?
4702And what did you know about Black Roger Audemard?"
4702And where was Marie- Anne?
4702And you-- in my place-- what would YOU do, m''sieu?"
4702Are you a little glad, Marie- Anne?"
4702Are you coming with me to the proue, m''sieu?"
4702Are you sure she said that?"
4702Are you through questioning me, M''sieu David?
4702But I blame no one, except--""Carmin Fanchet?"
4702But did she know more than that?
4702But what was his own struggle compared with this tragedy which St. Pierre was now facing?
4702But why ask you questions if you wo n''t answer them?"
4702But why that senseless play of falsehood?
4702But why the deuce had n''t she brought up his pack?
4702But why, when she saw his eyes open a little later, had she cried out her gratitude to God?
4702But-- tell me!--Could you see?
4702COULD she forget?
4702Can you guess why?
4702Can you suggest a better way-- between men like you and me?"
4702Did I promise I would not kill you and sink your body to the bottom of the river?
4702Did I say I would let you go?
4702Did she feel that shame as he was feeling it?
4702Did she think he was a scoundrel?
4702Did you ever hear a sweeter or as sweet?
4702Did you ever hear a sweeter voice?"
4702Did you hear?
4702Did you sleep well, M''sieu Carrigan?"
4702Do n''t you know that according to every law of God and man I should arrest you and give you over to the Law?
4702Do n''t you?"
4702Do you agree?"
4702Do you comprehend me, m''sieu?
4702Do you hold anything against her?"
4702Do you recall that I gave you any other guarantee, M''sieu Carrigan?
4702Do you understand, m''sieu?
4702Do you?"
4702Ees it zat?"
4702Eh, coq de bruyere?
4702Eh, shall we mak''ze bargain?"
4702HAS ANY ONE SEEN BLACK ROGER AUDEMARD?"
4702Had Black Roger turned a clever coup by leaving his wife there, while he came on ahead of the bateau with Carmin Fanchet?
4702Had St. Pierre been making a fool of him?
4702Had she been his friend, using all her influence to protect him, because her heart was sick of the environment of which she was a part?
4702Had she forgotten?
4702Have n''t you anything to say?"
4702Have you heard of wan garcon named Joe Clamart, m''sieu?
4702He was silent for a moment, then said,"I raved about a number of things when I was sick, did n''t I?"
4702Hesitate?
4702How do I know?
4702How had Bateese turned the trick?
4702How much did she know?
4702If St. Pierre was Black Roger, why would he confess to that fact simply to pay a wager?
4702If he had in him the desire to kill St. Pierre now, might not St. Pierre have had an equally just desire to kill him?
4702If she believed it, why did she not treat him a bit more considerately?
4702Is it a go?"
4702Is it not possible for a big heart like mine to do that, m''sieu?"
4702Is it not so, m''sieu?
4702Is it not so, m''sieu?"
4702Is it not so?
4702Is it not so?
4702Is it not so?"
4702Is it not so?"
4702Is it possible that you do n''t comprehend my own duty?
4702Is it?"
4702Is n''t that fair?"
4702Is she sleepin''over there-- in the camp?"
4702Is that it, Bateese?"
4702Is that it?
4702Is that not fair?
4702Is this another bit of trickery?"
4702It is not good for you: Bateese, will you tell m''sieu not to talk?"
4702It was-- a joke?"
4702Non?
4702Or ees it zat you grow frighten because ver''soon you stan''up an''fight Concombre Bateese?
4702Or had they struck aside from the trail?
4702Or was it the big bateau rocking under his feet?
4702Or would you rather be alone?"
4702Oui?
4702Pierre?"
4702Pierre?"
4702So what else can I do?
4702Some day when St. Pierre comes, will you teach me how to use them?"
4702Surely you would not break in upon their love- making?"
4702Tell me if I am right?
4702The fury died out of his face, but his great hands remained clenched as he said, for David alone,"That was a playful blow, m''sieu?
4702Then why is it you would be my friend and Roger Audemard''s enemy?
4702Then, as he bent over the sweep with his great back to David, he chuckled audibly, and said:"Would you go, m''sieu?
4702WAS THIS MAN ST. PIERRE?
4702WHY, m''sieu?"
4702WHY?"
4702Was he alone in danger?
4702Was it Bateese, inspired by some sort of malformed humor?
4702Was it fair or honest to destroy her simply because you thought she might be a partner in her brother''s crimes?"
4702Was it possible that St. Pierre Boulain was playing a huge joke on him?
4702Was my head bad?"
4702Was n''t it splendid?"
4702Was not that enough?
4702Wat happen w''en you look t''rough ze glass up there, eh?
4702Were they smiling and offering him their hands, even as they knew he was about to die?
4702What I must do?"
4702What are you going to do next?"
4702What could be their object in wanting him to believe she was still aboard the bateau?
4702What could she have done more terrible than I have done?"
4702What do the Police say about Roger Audemard?"
4702What had worked the sudden transformation in her?
4702What is the matter?"
4702What mad impulse could it be that dragged them still farther into the path of death?
4702What reason could he have for letting him live at all?
4702What terrible thing did she do to you, M''sieu?"
4702What terrible thing did she do to you?
4702What the deuce did it mean?
4702What the deuce did prettiness matter in the present situation?
4702What would he have done in St. Pierre''s place?
4702What would this man, her husband, think and do if he knew that his wife had given up her bedroom to this stranger?
4702What would you do?"
4702Where had Black Roger and the Broken Man gone?
4702Where is St. Pierre, and when shall we see him?"
4702Who was it St. Pierre had called sweetheart?
4702Who was this stranger who was pot- shotting at him with such deadly animosity from the ambush below?
4702Why did your wife try to kill me behind the rock?
4702Why do you hesitate?"
4702Why had Marie- Anne nursed him back to life?
4702Why had not Bateese killed him?
4702Why had she labored to save the life she had so atrociously coveted a minute before?
4702Why you no hit Concombre Bateese, m''sieu?
4702Why, m''sieu?"
4702Why?
4702Why?
4702Will you also promise not to ask me questions, which I can not answer-- until St. Pierre comes?"
4702Will you forgive me-- and accept my gratitude?"
4702Wo n''t you tell me why you shot me, and why that change came over you when you saw me lying there?"
4702Would any other woman in the world have given her hand like that to the man who had helped to kill her brother?"
4702Would she confess to him the secret of that precious moment when she had lain close against his breast, her arms about him, her face pressed to his?
4702Would she reveal EVERYTHING to St. Pierre-- her husband?
4702Would she tell St. Pierre of the many hours they had spent together?
4702Would you care for that?
4702Would you rather put out the lights and go to bed?"
4702You COMPREN''?
4702You hear w''at I say?"
4702You judged her-- as you hinted in your fever-- because she fought so desperately to save a brother who had gone wrong?"
4702You lissen?
4702You listen hard w''at I say?"
4702You love ma belle Jeanne-- Marie- Anne?
4702You threaten me with death?"
4702You understan'', m''sieu agent de police?"
4702You unnerstan''?"
15940''Fink so?'' 15940 ''Fwat, ould Skinner Adams?''
15940''Member that white horse? 15940 ''_ Herschell Island_?''
15940Am I to understand that you wish to make a statement, Gully?

15940Appeal sustained,he announced decisively,"eh, Reddy?"
15940Are ye anythin''av a cuk?

15940Can you place him, Sergeant?
15940Come across,said Slavin sternly,"fwhere did ye get ut?"
15940D''you hear me?
15940Did yeh--Slavin eyed the man keenly--"did yeh see-- or hear-- any fella take a harse out av th''shtable durin''that time?"
15940Did you ever see th''like o''that?
15940Did you get him?
15940Do you wish to ask for a remand, Moran?

15940Gully,he said slowly,"whatever in God''s name put it into your head to stand off the Police in the way you did?
15940Has n''t any civilian ever reported him to the old man?
15940Have you got a warrant, Sergeant?
15940He''s got nothing on you, has he?
15940Hear that?
15940Hear um?
15940Here you are again, eh? 15940 Hit, either of you?"
15940Hoboes?
15940Hodson? 15940 How about that Savage automatic?"
15940How come yez tu get th''face av yez bashed up so?
15940How do you know the poor beggar was drunk?
15940How does he get away with it every time?
15940How''bout me?
15940I hope these young imps have n''t been bothering you?
15940I suppose, under the circumstances, an old woman like me can discard the conventionalities?
15940I''d like fur ye tu dhrop in agin, thin,continued the sergeant slowly,"if ye have toime?
15940Is Bob Ingalls and Chuck Reed still in town?
15940Is that the man they used to Josh about, down Regina?
15940Jerry what?
15940Kind of High Priest?
15940Listen to that''norther''? 15940 Look at old Parson and Fox tryin''to warm themselves?
15940Lookit here, boys,he said earnestly,"that ther big mag''strate-- him as you call Gully-- is that his real name?
15940Mind his josh that day--''bout it might be me, or Gully?--an how Gully laughed, tu, wid th''hand of um like this?
15940Mishtress Lee,began he, in wheedling, dulcet tones,"fwhat mornin''was that?"
15940Mullah? 15940 Must have been a great bunch of fellows when you first took on the Force, Dave?"
15940Must have hunched himself on his knees behind, eh?
15940Must have slipped somewhere and''calked''himself on the''coronet,''I guess?
15940Not a very big place, Sergeant?
15940Now fwhere cud any livin''man find cover here in th''full av th''moon, tu get th''range wid a small arm? 15940 Oh, about that inquest, Sergeant,"he queried casually,"what was the jury''s finding?
15940Oh,''e did, did''e?
15940Old''batman''s''gaff?
15940Please, policeman?
15940Praying, Sister?

15940Saw ye iver th''like av that for divarsiment?
15940Say what?
15940Say, Burke, though?
15940Say, Burke,he said persuasively,"there''s not much doing this afternoon-- how''s chances for me and Reddy going down to the Bend for a bit?
15940Say, Doctor,enquired Yorke,"how''s Hardy doing?
15940Sergeant Slavin,said he presently,"what are the particulars of this man''s disorderly conduct?"
15940Sergeant Slavin?
15940Shteps?
15940Sister,he said anxiously,"how is Constable Redmond doing?
15940Slavin?
15940Sleep?
15940So?
15940Sorjint?
15940Sure is hittin''th''high spots,remarked the sergeant wonderingly,"fwhat th''divil''s up now?"
15940Talking back?
15940Th''missis seems onwell this mornin'',he mumbled apologetically to Slavin,"I take it yore not a married man, Sarjint?"
15940That''D''you know? 15940 The other was a thirty- eight Luger-- what?"
15940These tu must have lain here th''night,he remarked, indicating the frost- rimed forms,"have yez sized things up?
15940They do carry empty tomato- cans, do n''t they?
15940Used to say''I''m a man of few words''?
15940W''y carn''t yer let th''bleedin''bird alone? 15940 Want to elevate the sponge?"
15940Well?
15940Wha''d''ye ca''a Mullah?
15940What do you want? 15940 What does the Doctor say?"
15940What is it you want, Gully?
15940What is it you wish to say?
15940What is it, McSporran?
15940What is the use of arguin''with an old sweat like him? 15940 What was that case of yours, Yorkey?"
15940What''s made you consistently knock every third buck that''s been sent here? 15940 What''s that he said?"
15940What''s this court''s ruling?
15940What''s up, Red?
15940What''s up, Sister Marthe?
15940What''s up?
15940What''s up?
15940What''s up?
15940What''s wrong, Yorkey?
15940What''s your name, son?
15940Whatever could he have on Larry, though?
15940Where do you hail from?
15940Who else was in, Billy? 15940 Who-- me?"
15940Whoever would have suspected him?
15940Why ca n''t Redmond nip down there on a way- freight and do the whole thing?
15940Why do n''t you transfer him back to the Post?
15940Why, what sort of a chap is this Yorke?
15940Why-- what''s your hurry, Fred?
15940Why? 15940 Will ye not shtop an''take dinner wid us, yu''an''Lanky?
15940Wo n''t you sit down?
15940Wot abaht it, Mac?
15940Wot abaht wot?
15940Wot''s th''matter wiv you, son? 15940 Wot, Yorkey?
15940Wy, wot''s up?
15940Ye''ve located th''place, eh?
15940Yes, but how about that fishing expedition of ours, Gully?
15940You know-- what Slavin was talking about?
15940You see what you''ve let yourself in for now?
15940Yu hear that?
15940Yuh can vouch for this, tu, Billy? 15940 _ Fwhat_?"
15940''Ere, wot abaht it?"
15940''Give us a lift?''
15940''Let us go luk for um?''
15940''Member Mrs. Maybrick?
15940''Teamster?''
15940''Where to?''
15940''awk t''im?
15940''muck''or''muffin''?"
15940''till they got fed up, and transferred?
15940--an''he thwirls th''big buck moustache av um very slow--''fwhy shud I not kiss an ould wan?
15940--his face shone with simple pride--"d''yer''ken''that?
15940?"
15940?"
15940Another thing-- he may start in bucking us about not having a warrant-- just to gain time?"
15940Any questions you''d like to ask me?"
15940At one point in his narration he had occasion to turn to George:"That''s how it was, Reddy?"
15940Bear wid Yorke as best ye can-- divilmint an''all-- for my sake, will yeh?"
15940But is it him-- or is it the parrot?"
15940But the children were upon him, clutching his scarlet tunic:"What did he do then?"
15940But where are they all now?"
15940CHAPTER II_ Homeless, ragged and tanned, Under the changeful sky; Who so free in the land?
15940Can we see him?"
15940Could that tired, kind, whimsical voice belong to Yorke?
15940D''ye think an Englishman has to run around with a blooming alias?"
15940D''ye think he''d be fool enough to risk that, with the chances of the fellow being picked up any minute and squealing on him?"
15940Did he see anythin''av this row?"
15940Did they not dhrill that inta yeh at Regina?"
15940Did you raise Slavin and the coroner?"
15940Do n''t old gal Lee look mad?
15940Drink?
15940Dumfounded himself, George looked from one to the other,"What the devil''s wrong with you fools?"
15940Fancy him springing that comical old yarn at such a time as this?"
15940Find the place where he flopped?
15940Fwhat doin''?
15940Fwhat think ye?
15940Fwhat was they rowin''over?"
15940Fwhat was ut ye handed him, Mishtress Lee, might I ask?--th''flat- iron or th''rollin''pin?"
15940Fwhat yez a- scared av?
15940Fwhat''s in a name?"
15940Fwhat?
15940Fwhativer sort av a gun- artist is ut that-- even allowin''for th''moonlight-- can pick a man off thru''th''head wid a revolver at this distance?
15940Fwhere did yu''get yu''re dhrink?"
15940Fwhy du I not sind him into th''Post?
15940Fwhy shud I kape a dog an''du me own barkin''?''
15940Going back to Cow Run tonight, or what?"
15940Got th''lay av fwhere ut happened?"
15940Guess we''d better take carbines along, eh, Burke?
15940Gully?"
15940Have you anything to say?--any explanation to offer for your reckless, disorderly conduct?"
15940He''s bin in yu''re place iver since th''throuble smarted?"
15940How could a crippled- up man like him obtain work?
15940How many more miles to this giddy burg, old thing?"
15940How''d you get along, Yorkey?
15940How''d you like to be in Nick''s shoes?
15940How''s that for a bit of cheap cynicism?"
15940I do n''t think he''s pulled out yet, has he, Nick?"
15940I have me raysons-- onnershtand?"
15940I suppose there''s absolutely no doubt in your mind now, who--?"
15940In this somewhat ignominious position dizzily he heard Yorke''s mocking tones:"What are the odds on Fox, bookie?
15940Is he bucking up at all?
15940Is it a go?
15940Is n''t it great?"
15940Is that all?
15940Is yeh''re mem''ry goin'', man?
15940Jump a freight, or what?
15940Lanky,"he continued, addressing that individual who was sitting nearby,"what are you and the Doctor going to do?
15940Let us luk for th''jug?''
15940Make him talk?"
15940Maybe he''ll just come a- yawnin''tu th''dhure, wid th''dhrawlin''English spache av um, sayin''''Well, bhoys, an''fwhat''s doin''?''
15940Mind how he kept on thravellin'', widout comin''back tu shpake wid us?"
15940Now fwhat yez know''bout that?"
15940Now, are there any more things you do n''t understand?
15940Now-- whin Larry Blake came in tu saddle- up an''pull out last night was that ther sorrel o''Windy''s still in th''stable-- or not?"
15940Opin up now, will ye?
15940Or be charged wid vagrancy?"
15940Or the poor devil who''s lost all, and does n''t care a d----n?
15940Out av town fellers I mean, fwhin this racket occurred betune these tu?
15940P''raps he has beat ut on us afther all?
15940Pax?
15940Redmond ejaculated,"the beggar would make a good stage marshal, would n''t he?
15940Remember how we used to rag him when he first came to us as a cheechaco buck?
15940Said Redmond,"How about our respected sergeant?
15940Say, what was that mix- up, Reddy?"
15940Slavin, turning like a flash, glared sharply at him out of deep- set scowling eyes,"Fwhat?"
15940The air seemed to have become charged with a tense, ominous something that filled him with a great dread-- of what?
15940The cautious, upright, model young man, with a tender regard for a whole skin and a Glorious Future?
15940The con''s goin''to chuck him off here-- do you want him?"
15940Vieux soldats ne meurent jamais!--ils simplement passent!_""An''M''sieu''Ardy''e say:''Vat about?''
15940We''ve got your Luger, but where''s the Savage gun?"
15940Well, did you see him?"
15940What countryman is he?"
15940What do you know about that?"
15940What he said was:"He''s an Englishman, is n''t he?"
15940What''s bitin''you?
15940What''s doin''in L?"
15940What''s up?"
15940What''s up?"
15940What''s your business at this hour of the night?"
15940What''shteps''would you take?"
15940What?
15940Whatever did you hope to gain by it?
15940Wher does he come from?
15940Where do you come from?
15940Where''d you get it?"
15940Where''d you pick it up?
15940Who cares to be stuck around the Post?"
15940Who so contented as I?_.
15940Who the devil do you think you''re trying to come''the Tin Man''over?"
15940Who''s handled you?"
15940Whom are you working for now?"
15940Why do n''t they shove me out on detachment again, and give me another chance to do real police work?
15940Will I iver forghet ut?
15940Will one of you give me a drink, please?
15940Will yeh go wurrk for him?

15940Ye''ll be comin''back this way, I suppose-- lather in th''day?"
15940Yen know th''way these ginthlemin- rankers run amuck?"
15940You did n''t see''em, eh?"
15940You know what I said?"
15940You laughed, did n''t you?
15940You remember him, that cold- blooded devil who Pennycuik nailed up in the Yukon-- used to shoot''em and shove their bodies under the ice?"
15940You remember how they''d taught him to chuck up his head and''laugh''?
15940You remember that Huggard case, Sergeant?"
15940_ Flirrt_?

15940an''wan shell on''y?

15940but it''s a peach of a day"he continued,"say, gossip mine, did you think to get that fishing- tackle at Martin''s this morning?"
15940but, hoo lang, O Lard?
15940came his soft brogue, by way of diversion,"an''fwhat made yu''take on th''Force?"

15940hark tu um?"
15940he almost shouted,"D''ye mean to tell me that bear got within twenty yards of you and could n''t catch you?
15940he announced finally,"Mr. Gully was in, yuh say?
15940he boomed, his guttural bass sounding hoarse with passion,"You fellows did n''t meet that d----d hobo on the trail, I suppose?
15940he burst out,"mind fwhat he said that day''bout Gully an''that dep''ty sheriff bizness?
15940he continued, with vibrating voice,"whoever''d a- thought that that drawlin''English dude could shoot like that?
15940he drawled,"ai n''t I in on this, too?
15940he ejaculated sharply,"fwhat shteps?"
15940he enquired,"to enable you to procure counsel?"
15940he expostulated,"d''you think I''d come to you with a yarn like that?
15940he hissed in a loud eager whisper,"Jes''''awk t''i m?
15940he queried,"you say he wants rousing?
15940he remarked,"how far''s the detachment from here?"
15940he snarled pettishly,"what sort of old''batman''s''gaff are you trying to''get my goat''with?"
15940hit bad?

15940not so----''Windy''afther all, I''m thinkin'', eh?"
15940queried Yorke brutally-- rocking--"does hurt?"
15940queried Yorke, swinging wearily out of his saddle an hour or so later,"How''d you make out?
15940queried Yorke,"he''s still on, is n''t he?"
15940queried he waggishly, in a low voice,"dreaming you''re taking that dive again, or what?"
15940quoth McCullough blithely,"Yu''know th''sayin''--''Old soldier-- old stiff?''
15940said Yorke slowly--"_ Can you blame us if we soak ourselves in beer?_""It was n''t beer,"muttered Redmond absently,"it was whiskey.
15940said Yorke,"the one you shot those dogs with yesterday?
15940said the can, again--''What''s up?''
15940sez I,''fwhere?''
15940sez me father,''I wonder fwhat''s happened tu th''pore ould ginthleman?''

29958A week riding about-- trying to find yourself?
29958Ai n''t it enough? 29958 Ai n''t you goin''to hand the leddy compliments?"
29958Ai n''t you-- worried some, Fyles gettin''around?
29958All of it? 29958 Am I to-- know any more?"
29958Am I?
29958An''I done all that? 29958 An''who in hell cares?"
29958An-- accident?
29958And Fyles-- where did you meet Inspector Fyles?
29958And did you-- find them?
29958And do you know the logical consequence of it all?
29958And leave Charlie to his-- fate?
29958And the chances?
29958And you guessed to do it-- single?
29958And your heart?
29958And-- that''s Rocky Springs?
29958Any other instructions, sir?
29958Are n''t you afraid of the sun?
29958At your Bluebeard''s chamber again, Kate?
29958Bill?
29958Bright? 29958 Bryant-- Charlie Bryant?
29958Burial?
29958But this trouble? 29958 But what''s the use?
29958But who''s to say who did it?
29958But why not? 29958 But-- but what''s gone wrong with you, Kate?
29958But?
29958Ca n''t we shout a warning?
29958Ca n''t you see I''ve got to play my own game in my own way? 29958 Ca n''t you?"
29958Can I come around to the door?
29958Can we make it?
29958Charlie-- is still out?
29958Charlie? 29958 Chivalry?"
29958Close by the pine tree?
29958Coming my way?
29958Cut down the old pine? 29958 D''you mean that, Kate?"
29958Darnation take it, what in blazes are you shouting around for at this hour of the night?
29958Daybreak? 29958 Deserved it?
29958Did Charlie say-- where he was going?
29958Did he insult-- Helen?
29958Did you fall? 29958 Did you start out from Amberley?"
29958Did you-- question him?
29958Did-- did you train him that way?
29958Dirty O''Brien? 29958 Disaster?
29958Do I look all right? 29958 Do n''t he most gener''ly drive your team?"
29958Do n''t you believe in fate? 29958 Do n''t you know who Fyles is after?
29958Do n''t you know? 29958 Do you get his play?"
29958Do you get me?
29958Do you know what your words imply? 29958 Do you mean that if I take that wagon you have-- done with me forever?
29958Do you think they''ll ever be able to use swear words again?
29958Do you think we''re going to fool a crook like him by just watching? 29958 Do you understand?
29958Do you want to know the rest?
29958Do you?
29958Do you?
29958Does a fellow always need to be against the law to get up against a police officer?
29958Does he know what he''s making for?
29958Does it matter, so long as a woman can fight?
29958Does it?
29958Does it?
29958Doin''? 29958 Dreadful?
29958Easy? 29958 Everybody?"
29958Farmers?
29958Fate?
29958Feel? 29958 Feelin''good?"
29958Five cents for a dollar? 29958 Fixings?"
29958For hauling your hay? 29958 For themselves?"
29958For-- that?
29958Frightened?
29958Fyles?
29958Fyles?
29958Get me? 29958 Getting ready for a journey?"
29958Going away?
29958Going home?
29958Good luck? 29958 Good?
29958Good? 29958 Got what?"
29958Greenbacked-- cattle?
29958Guess you do n''t feel like giving us a hand tipping that on to the wagon? 29958 Had enough of it?"
29958Had n''t I better stand up for the-- arraignment?
29958Harm?
29958Has Huntly got the message with him?
29958Hateful good luck?
29958Have a''night- cap''?
29958Have n''t I?
29958Have you ever tried to make things fit that-- just wo n''t?
29958He is? 29958 He''s smelling a cargo-- coming in, is n''t he?"
29958He''s-- on the trail?
29958Help?
29958Holes? 29958 How can I think with you chattering?
29958How could I have anything but something pleasant to say, with you looking such a vision?
29958How d''you do?
29958How dare you laugh at me?
29958How dare you, Helen?
29958How did you manage to-- lose yourself?
29958How did you-- come home that day-- and why? 29958 How in hell would you have me talk standin''around a swell chu''ch like that?
29958How many kegs?
29958How many?
29958How''s that?
29958How''s that?
29958How, sir?
29958How-- how did it get there?
29958How-- how do you make that out, Allan?
29958How? 29958 However did you know about it?
29958I can rely on that? 29958 I suppose the lawlessness of this place will receive a check that''s liable to make some folks pretty uncomfortable?"
29958I suppose there''s going to be a very busy time about here, now you''ve come around?
29958Informer? 29958 Int''rest?"
29958Is he-- such a whirlwind?
29958Is it necessary? 29958 Is it-- a stream, Charlie?"
29958Is it?
29958Is n''t he obstinate? 29958 Is n''t it?
29958Is n''t it?
29958Is n''t that just great? 29958 Is that all?"
29958Is there no hope?
29958Is this where you paint?
29958Is-- is she well? 29958 It ai n''t part of the patrol?"
29958It seems rather hopeless, does n''t it?
29958It''s Bryant''s wagon?
29958It''s that pine up on the side of the valley, is n''t it?
29958It''s-- Fyles?
29958Kate,she said, in a tone in which mirth would not be denied,"do you know, it''s five years to- day since we first came to Rocky Springs?
29958Kate-- who?
29958Kate?
29958Ken you beat it?
29958Leave him----?
29958Lose my wager? 29958 Makin''Rocky Springs?"
29958Matter?
29958May I ask how you know we are-- so very busy?
29958Meaning me?
29958Mine?
29958Miss Kate not at-- service?
29958Monday night?
29958Monday?
29958Moosemin? 29958 Must we open up that old sore, Miss Kate?"
29958My head?
29958Name?
29958Need I say any more? 29958 No necessity?"
29958Now, just where does it begin? 29958 Now, where shall we live?"
29958Oh, Charlie,Helen cried impulsively,"you will let me see him, wo n''t you?
29958Oh, Kate, Kate, wo n''t you understand what has brought me? 29958 Oh, that''s a valley, eh?
29958Paint? 29958 Penitentiary?"
29958Play?
29958Rancher?
29958Rounding up''strays''?
29958Say, Danny, boy, do n''t it beat hell?
29958Say, Dirty,he drawled, in his rather musical southern accent,"wher''in hell is Fyles located anyhow?
29958Say, Kate, I s''pose we''ll never see Nick or Pete again? 29958 Say, ca n''t I carry those things?"
29958Say, can you understand how I feel when I say I believe all moral scruple has somehow decayed, rotted, died in me? 29958 Say, child,"she went on, in a deep, thrilling tone,"do you know what these whisky- runners risk?
29958Say, did you fire that-- alarm?
29958Say, doing anything?
29958Say, have you ever had hell smashed out of your features by a lousy dude? 29958 Say, how far do you guess a fellow could ride by himself without needing to be sent into a home to be looked after?"
29958Say, what are_ you_ doing up here?
29958Say, who''s that-- on that horse? 29958 Say, why do you want to put him away?"
29958Say, why-- why must you go now, Kate? 29958 Say, you did all this for-- for me?"
29958Say,he cried ironically,"ai n''t they dandy?
29958Say,he cried, with a deep breath of enthusiasm,"did you get that pretty girl?"
29958Say,he demanded of his guide,"and this is where my brother''s ranch is?
29958Shall we go east, or-- or shall we live at Charlie''s ranch? 29958 Shall we open out and give him a round, sir?"
29958Should I? 29958 Still working out impossible problems which do n''t really-- exist?"
29958Strays?
29958Sure that''s best?
29958Sure? 29958 Sure?"
29958Tell him what?
29958Tell me, Mr. Bryant, what was it brought you out this way, when you ought to be worrying around getting wise to-- to the ranching business?
29958Tell me, had we not come into conflict over this man, Bryant, would-- would it-- could it have been different?
29958Tell me,she said, after a pause, while she avoided the man''s despairing eyes,"where does the treachery-- lie?"
29958That all?
29958That surely do n''t sound right, does it? 29958 That''s all?"
29958That''s why the wagon''s kept here?
29958That''s-- the truth?
29958The old pine?
29958The police were there-- with you?
29958The wonder? 29958 Their complete plan of campaign?"
29958Then how did you know where to find me?
29958Then maybe I may walk with you?
29958Then what do you fear?
29958Then you have something-- to tell me?
29958Then you know that-- Charlie is innocent? 29958 Then-- why did you come here?"
29958Ther''s fellers o''grit around this valley, eh? 29958 There, Mr. Bryant, did n''t I tell you she kept bad company?
29958They''re-- loaded?
29958Thinking about the old pine?
29958Thirteen?
29958This Bill-- this Big Brother Bill hammered master Pete to a-- pulp?
29958This is a free country, is n''t it? 29958 Too late?"
29958Too late?
29958Treachery?
29958Tree trunk?
29958Trouble-- through me?
29958Troubles? 29958 Tuesday-- daybreak?
29958Two- man job, is n''t it?
29958Understand? 29958 Up against it, man?"
29958Wal?
29958Wal?
29958Was it because of the felling of that tree you went away?
29958Was it necessary to stimulate your nerve to come, and-- speak to me? 29958 Was there ever such a mockery?
29958Was there ever----?
29958We''ll have to make a time, eh?
29958Well, while we were there he showed it to me, and then, looking me straight in the eyes, he said,''Would n''t it be a dandy hiding place for things? 29958 Well?
29958Well?
29958Well?
29958Well?
29958Well?
29958Well?
29958Well?
29958Well?
29958What did he say?
29958What do you mean?
29958What does he want down there?
29958What does he want?
29958What does it matter what I am if-- I ca n''t be anything to you?
29958What does it matter-- these things?
29958What does your head say?
29958What has the care of a home to do with making a ranch pay?
29958What have I done wrong?
29958What have you-- done to him?
29958What in hell are you doing here?
29958What in hell did you flag us for?
29958What in hell----?
29958What is this man to you?
29958What is your condition?
29958What of-- to- morrow?
29958What the----?
29958What then?
29958What were you doing with Fyles to- day?
29958What''s brought you back on the run?
29958What''s gone wrong-- now? 29958 What''s he like?"
29958What''s that standing right up there? 29958 What''s the matter, dear?"
29958What''s the matter?
29958What''s the symptoms? 29958 What''s the use of marrying a girl who does n''t want to marry you?"
29958What''s this place?
29958What''s your news, Charlie?
29958What''s your story? 29958 What''s-- what''s up, Charlie?"
29958What-- ever is to be done?
29958What-- the truth?
29958What-- what were they doing there-- with you?
29958What-- what''s troubling you, Kate? 29958 Whatever do you keep them loaded for?
29958When will you clear out of-- my ranch?
29958When-- when is-- Bill coming back?
29958When?
29958When?
29958Wher''s your sense?
29958Where are you going, Charlie?
29958Where are you haying now?
29958Where are you stopping with your men?
29958Where are your boys? 29958 Where you from?"
29958Where''s dinner?
29958Where''s the despatch?
29958Where''s the steel girders an''stone masonry?
29958Where-- where are you going?
29958Where?
29958Who cares a curse for red- coats?
29958Who is he?
29958Who told you I was here?
29958Who warned you?
29958Who''d_ you_ guess is the boss of the gang?
29958Who''s the boss?
29958Who''s the man?
29958Why are you doing this?
29958Why are you doing this?
29958Why did you go to the corral-- this morning?
29958Why have you taken this wagon, Kate?
29958Why must we conquer and fight with ourselves? 29958 Why worry about things, Sis?"
29958Why, what d''you s''pose?
29958Why, whatever''s the matter, Kate?
29958Why,he asked gently, almost humbly,"have you so deliberately avoided me lately?"
29958Why-- why are you doing that?
29958Why-- why did n''t you come and speak to me? 29958 Why-- why did you come-- now?"
29958Why-- why----? 29958 Why?
29958Why? 29958 Why?
29958Why? 29958 Why?
29958Why?

29958Why?
29958Why?
29958Why?
29958Why?
29958Wicked-- cursed? 29958 Will you marry me after I have caught the leader of the gang, if he be this man, Bryant?
29958Will you marry me?
29958Will you marry me?
29958Wo n''t you sit down awhile?
29958Wo n''t you-- go on?
29958Would n''t I?
29958Would you like me for-- a-- a sister? 29958 Yes, yes, I know; but why have you taken it now?
29958Yet you do not love him as-- I would have you love me?
29958You and-- Fyles?
29958You are sure about the train? 29958 You are waiting for-- me?
29958You believe so?
29958You came to assure yourself of my-- happiness?
29958You did n''t recognize my voice?
29958You get the boat?
29958You going out, Kate, dear?
29958You knew?
29958You know him?
29958You know it?
29958You mean dollars, eh? 29958 You mean you''ve sent in your report, and are now awaiting the-- verdict?"
29958You mean-- the tree?
29958You mean-- what I said to you the other day?
29958You mean----?
29958You mean----?
29958You saw me at the pine?
29958You there? 29958 You think so?"
29958You think that all-- all weakness can be conquered?
29958You think they''d give-- any one away?
29958You think, sir----?
29958You want him to-- send you down?
29958You will?
29958You''d cut down the old tree?
29958You''ll wager?
29958You''re Charlie Bryant''s brother, eh?
29958You''re Inspector Stanley Fyles?
29958You''re goin''to get me with the rest? 29958 You''re going on down?"
29958You, Bill?
29958You, on this bum layout? 29958 You-- hate him-- too?"
29958You-- shot Pete-- dead?
29958You-- thrashed Pete?
29958You-- you came to tell me-- all this?
29958You----?
29958You? 29958 You?"
29958Your brother-- or even your own son?
29958Your horse?
29958Your wagon?
29958*****"Have you made your peace with-- headquarters?"
29958*****"Must I tell it all?"
29958A moment later she inquired naively:"When is the cargo coming in?"
29958Ai n''t that so, Allan?"
29958Ai n''t that so, Miss Kate?"
29958Ai n''t we got the tallest pine in creation right here on the spot?"
29958All that you sed, sergeant?
29958All-- how?
29958An attack?
29958An''you boys?
29958And Kate?
29958And a pretty parlor story it is, is n''t it?"
29958And how do you take it?
29958And were not most of them, probably all of them, rejoicing?
29958And what are you hugging that old piece of paper to death for?
29958And what wild streak of good luck finds you sitting in the moonlight this hour of the night?
29958And yet, how could she associate effeminacy with a man of his known character?
29958And yet-- you see, Charlie''s ranch wants some one_ capable_ to look after it, does n''t it?
29958And, why in thunder, when everybody knows who the boss of the gang is, do n''t they deal direct with him?"
29958Are they on the''buck''?"
29958Are they slacking worse than usual?
29958Are they to be turned down, too?
29958B. expect?
29958Been taking a hand building the church back there?"
29958Besides, was he not a man whose doings placed him against the law, in the administration of which it was his duty to share?
29958Besides----""Yes, sir?"
29958Bryant?"
29958Bryant?"
29958But there, the valley is full of everything bad-- isn''t it?"
29958But they are n''t all like-- that-- are they, Kate?"
29958But was it?
29958But what are you to do when the boys clear out, and-- and play you such a scurvy trick?
29958But why are you taking it now?
29958But-- but----""But what?"
29958But-- do I know him?"
29958But-- you do n''t know-- Helen?"
29958But----""You called to him?"
29958Ca n''t I do anything to fix things right?"
29958Ca n''t anything be done?
29958Ca n''t you understand all that I feel now that the shadow of the law is so threatening here in this valley?
29958Cabbage?
29958Can you beat it?"
29958Chance?
29958Charlie a crook?
29958Charlie''s collecting some dollars-- some one owes him?
29958Charlie, Charlie,"Kate went on more gently, her fine eyes softening,"when is this all to cease?
29958Chu''ch?
29958Comin'', Nick?
29958Coming on behind?
29958Courage?
29958Day?"
29958Did I?"
29958Do I need to tell you?
29958Do n''t you know why O''Brien warned you?
29958Do n''t you think that, Charlie?"
29958Do you get me?
29958Do you get me?
29958Do you hear?
29958Do you know I''ve always despised people who''ve put true love before all other considerations?
29958Do you know we have more than our original capital in the bank?
29958Do you know what that means to me?
29958Do you know what that means?"
29958Do you know why I want to do it?
29958Do you need me to tell you anything?
29958Do you stand in with these''hold- ups''?
29958Do you think he''s ever been fished before?
29958Do you understand it now?
29958Do you understand me?
29958Do you?
29958Do you?"
29958Eddicatin''?
29958Eh?
29958Eh?"
29958Ever seen a spider dead of starvation?"
29958Failure, eh?
29958Find some of''em do n''t pay?"
29958First?
29958Five thousand dollars?
29958Five years-- wearing a striped---- What was that?
29958For whom?
29958Forgiveness?"
29958Fyles-- Stanley Fyles a-- rancher?
29958Get it?
29958Get it?
29958Get it?
29958Get me, Bill?"
29958Get me?
29958Get me?
29958Get me?
29958Get me?
29958Get me?
29958God''s truth, am I never to hear, or see, the last of him?
29958Great God, was there ever such a pack of fools and madmen?
29958Guess I''ll get a drink o''that liquor, wo n''t I?
29958Guess you do n''t remember our first meeting?
29958Guess you''ve never seen a''Jonah- man''buckin''a faro bank run by a Chinaman sharp?"
29958Had Charlie changed much?
29958Had n''t he picked them up?
29958Had not the train, with its all unconscious driver, passed upon its rumbling way toward Amberley?
29958Had she not endeavored to persuade her a dozen times?
29958Had she not warned her herself before?
29958Hallo, what was that?
29958Hang me?
29958Happiness with this-- Fyles?"
29958Hark, what was that?
29958Hark, what was that?
29958Has-- has he been along here to- night?"
29958Have n''t I come here to warn you?
29958Have you a match?"
29958Have you seen''em, sir?
29958Have-- have you seen him?
29958He must have ridden-- where?
29958He''s big-- and-- and manly?
29958Hell-- say-- what''s that?"
29958His eyes are blue, and-- silly?"
29958Holy Dick glanced round as a harsh voice commented----"Feelin''glad, ai n''t you, Holy?"
29958How can I ever hope that you can care for me?
29958How could he ever hope that Kate Seton would do more than lend her strong, pitying affection for his support?
29958How could it be otherwise?
29958How could it, when my whole thought is for you-- you?
29958How could she ever look to him for support and guidance?
29958How could she?
29958How could virtue maintain in its vicinity?
29958How dare you say I loved you and told you so?
29958How dare you say I want to make love to him?
29958How dare you?
29958How dared he whistle, any way?
29958How dared he?
29958How did she get here?
29958How did they learn it?
29958How did this come about?
29958How did you know where to find me?"
29958How had she come to miss him in the far distance?
29958How had this happened?
29958How the devil had he managed to miss it?
29958How''s my hair?"
29958How-- dare you?
29958I could just break him in my two hands if I took hold of him to keep him home and out of trouble, but what''s the use?
29958I may be some picture to look at, but I would n''t say it''s worth framing-- would you?"
29958I mean that tie-- that''s not a symptom, is it?"
29958I s''pose they have a chief?"
29958I wonder what they think they''re going to do?"
29958I''m here to help, help, do you understand?
29958I''m not a bad sort, am I, Kate?"
29958I-- intended to from the first moment I saw your big, funny face with Stanley----""You mean that, Hel?
29958If I accept your conditions, against my better judgment, will you allow me to make one?"
29958If there are two of us, one may get through-- will you----?"
29958In an hour?"
29958Instead of those things what had she-- what was she?
29958Is he good looking?
29958Is it Injuns, or-- or are you busy on one of your short cuts?
29958Is it merciful-- to do that?"
29958Is it news from down East?"
29958Is it worth it?
29958Is it, Kate?
29958Is it?
29958Is n''t he?
29958Is n''t it Fyles?
29958Is n''t it awful to think of?
29958Is n''t it lucky I''ve just got my new suits?
29958Is n''t that due to independence?
29958Is n''t that trouble enough to start with?
29958Is she----?"
29958Is there a p''liceman in the country''ud chase up a Meetin''House for liquor?
29958Is there need to ask that?"
29958Is there----?"
29958It meant----Who''s death did she dread?
29958It might be the wheels at last, or was it thunder?
29958It''s a pretty admission, is n''t it?
29958John?"
29958Kate?"
29958May I, Charlie?"
29958Maybe you can tell me-- can help me out?"
29958Mystery?
29958Mystery?
29958None?
29958Nothing at all?"
29958Nothing outward?
29958Now what shall it be?
29958Now, for God''s sake, ca n''t you leave me alone?"
29958Now, what was he watching for, and who did he mistake Charlie for?
29958Of all the----""Will you marry me?"
29958Oh, Charlie, why must it all be?
29958Oh, Kate, why did you do it?
29958Oh, yes,"she went on desperately,"why should n''t I admit it?
29958Or would he, with that callous severity of police regulations, only regard the failures, and turn a deaf official ear to the promise of the future?
29958Ought she to feel badly toward him?
29958Please, Kate-- please may I go?"
29958Red pine?
29958Red?"
29958Right here?"
29958Savee?
29958Savee?
29958Savee?
29958Say, Charlie, I s''pose its necessary to have a deal of grass around to run a ranch on?"
29958Say, Hel, what''s-- what''s going to happen?
29958Say, Miss Seton, you do n''t believe it, do you?"
29958Say, Mr. Bryant, you''ve heard of Mr. Ananias in the Bible?
29958Say, did you ever have a cyclone strike you when-- when there was n''t a cyclone within a hundred miles of you?"
29958Say, did you ever have folks get on your nerves?"
29958Say, did you ever take a short cut-- in a hurry?
29958Say, did you hear, Charlie?
29958Say, have you ever been crazy about anybody?
29958Say, have you ever heard of a disease of the-- the brain called''partly hatched''?"
29958Say, how much did dad start you out with?
29958Say, was there ever such a fool, not recognizing you before?"
29958Say, was there ever such a tom- fool trick?"
29958Say, where d''you paint from?
29958Say, where''s your baggage?
29958Say, who''s that coming down the southern trail?
29958Say,"he added, with less assurance,"maybe your sister''s home?"
29958Say-- was he dreaming?
29958See?
29958See?
29958See?
29958See?
29958See?
29958See?
29958See?
29958Shall I tell him of the things I''ve found out?
29958Shall I tell him something of the many things I manage to learn in this valley?
29958Shall I try and explain that I contrive to get hold of secrets that the police, with all their cleverness, can never hope to get hold of?
29958Shall I?
29958Shall I?
29958Shall we always have to do the work of our little patch ourselves?"
29958She denied Charlie Bryant''s leadership, so----But in her own secret mind did she deny it?
29958Smart?
29958So you waited around for-- me?"
29958Some feller, for instance?
29958Suppose that the tree is in some mysterious way a sort of means of communication, why is it necessary?
29958Sure?"
29958Surely she was not thinking of the police?
29958Surely you can have no misgivings on that score?"
29958Tell her sister?
29958Tell me, dear, is-- is there no hope for me?
29958Temptation?
29958That fellow a rancher?
29958That was your brother-- ahead?"
29958The force to which Fyles belonged?
29958Then he added with a quizzical gleam in his eyes:"Guess you''ve got the checks all right?"
29958Then he added,"And what''s that cupboard in there?"
29958Then how did this strange belief come in a woman so keenly sensible, so full of practical courage?
29958Then in agitation:"You''re not going to----?"
29958Then what are we, you, with your brave inexperience, I, with my woman''s helplessness, going to do against them?
29958Then with a burst of impetuosity:"Are they all like that in-- this place?
29958Then with an unmistakable question in his dark eyes:"Maybe you''ll fancy a walk around-- meantime?"
29958Then, as Kate still remained quiet, she inquired:"Was n''t I a fool?"
29958Then, with a little daring in her manner:"Do you think he''ll like me?
29958Then, with a quick look into his bloodshot eyes, she went on:"Why did you wait for me-- here?"
29958Then,"What''s he doing there?"
29958There is no one else?"
29958There''s nothing to stop her by the way-- now?
29958They do n''t seem to starve ever, do they?
29958They''ve been here five years, and that girl-- with her pretty face and dandy eyes-- not married?
29958Think we''re goin''to suck milk out of a kid''s feeder, just because you boys in red coats figure that way?
29958Thirteen?"
29958To- morrow?
29958Troubles?
29958Vain enough thought, eh?
29958Was he abreast?
29958Was he not the most lawless of this lawless village?
29958Was he the man he was reputed to be, or was he merely a clever man backed by a big authority?
29958Was it a bright notion?
29958Was not everybody talking of it?
29958Was she not always being told it?
29958Was she truly blind to his doings, or was she merely blinding herself to them?
29958Was the secret of that hiding place sufficiently simple to defy Stanley Fyles, or was it not?
29958Was there ever such a bright play?
29958Was there not?
29958Was there-- was there ever a man quite so simple and-- soft hearted?
29958Was this another of the police force?
29958Was this only a part of the evil connected with that tree?
29958Was this the beginning of some further disaster to come?
29958Was this the man they were waiting for?
29958Was this the work of that old- time curse?
29958We''ve been five years at it, with what result?
29958We''ve failed-- failed, do you understand?
29958We,"she smiled whimsically,"sort of did n''t know whether it was Rocky Springs, or Broadway, did we?
29958Well?"
29958Well?"
29958Were the men on the trail resisting the police?
29958What about the Indian cuss on it?"
29958What about this?
29958What about your desire to protect Bryant?"
29958What are the more important things?"
29958What can we do to save him?
29958What could Charlie have to fear from Fyles talking to Kate?
29958What could he do?
29958What could he do?
29958What could he say?
29958What could we do?
29958What do they do?
29958What does it matter if drink eases the craving, and lends me moments of peace which I am otherwise denied?
29958What if I told you I had irrefutable circumstantial evidence against him?
29958What if he had read Kate''s regard for the man Bryant wrong?
29958What if he had read it as she intended him to read it, seeking to blind him to the true facts?
29958What in hell do I care what they do to me?
29958What in the name of all that''s holy has it got to do with you?
29958What in the name of all that''s sacred do you think I want to send you to the penitentiary for?
29958What in the name of all that''s----?"
29958What is she now?
29958What is the difference?"
29958What is the result?
29958What is this absurd talk I have heard?
29958What madness is it with which you are possessed?"
29958What of Kate?
29958What of her?
29958What on earth----?
29958What right had he in Rocky Springs?
29958What right had he to be walking down that particular trail at that particular moment?
29958What should she do?
29958What the devil do you want smelling out my trail as if you were one of the police?"
29958What truth is-- absurd?"
29958What was he coming to the valley for?
29958What was her past recklessness to him?
29958What was it that inspired in her such mixed feeling?
29958What was she?
29958What was that at the window?
29958What was the meaning of it?
29958What was there to interfere?
29958What''s the meaning of the whole thing?
29958What''s the use?"
29958What''s your line?"
29958What''s your name, and who do you work for?"
29958What''s your-- business?"
29958What''ud you have us do?"
29958What-- what can we do?"
29958What-- what is coming to you, Kate?
29958When''ll he be getting around?
29958Wher''s the figures an''measurements?
29958Where was her beau-- Charlie Bryant''s brother?
29958Where were Charlie Bryant, and those men who were concerned in his exploits?
29958Where were Pete Clancy and Nick Devereux, Kate Seton''s hired men?
29958Where''s Pete?"
29958Where''s the lamp?
29958Where''s the message?"
29958Where''s the tree grown hereabouts tall enough to give us a ridge pole for this roof?
29958Whither?
29958Who can say?
29958Who can tell the outcome of to- morrow if there''s treachery?
29958Who is she?
29958Who is this man?"
29958Who knows the breakin''strain o''them green logs?
29958Who knows what to- morrow may bring forth?"
29958Who''s goin to do it?
29958Who''s got the grit?"
29958Who----?"
29958Whose blood?
29958Whose-- death?
29958Why are you around, anyway?
29958Why beat down the nature given to us by a power beyond our control?
29958Why did O''Brien warn me?
29958Why for do folks fix''emselves like funeral mutes in winter?
29958Why had n''t that fool O''Brien said so right out instead of leaving him guessing?
29958Why must you drink?
29958Why not go out West?
29958Why not indulge the senses that demand indulgence, when, in such indulgence, we injure no one else?
29958Why not?
29958Why should I be sober, when in such moments I suffer agonies of craving?
29958Why should I?
29958Why should there be any mystery?
29958Why should these two know nothing but the joys of life, while he-- he was forbidden even a shadow of the happiness for which he yearned?
29958Why then should he suddenly find himself actively concerned with this atmosphere of mystery which had suddenly closed about him?
29958Why, why had Charlie done this thing, and done it to- night-- their first night together in the new world?
29958Why-- why was he on earth at all?
29958Why?
29958Why?
29958Why?
29958Why?"
29958Why?"
29958Why?"
29958Why?"
29958Will that do you?"
29958Will that satisfy you?"
29958Will you be home?"
29958Will you help me now?
29958Will you help?"
29958Will-- will you marry me?"
29958Wo n''t it wait?
29958Wo n''t you come in, and let her thank you herself?
29958Woe betide-- but, was there ever such a gathering of unclean, unholy humanity?
29958Would Jason listen?
29958Would he turn up the records, and count the excellence of Inspector Fyles''s past work?
29958Would her beautiful sister finally yield to his very evident admiration, or would she still keep that barrier of aloofness against him?
29958Would his coming be deemed an impertinence?
29958Would n''t he look queer?
29958Would she----What on earth brought him to the valley-- now?
29958Would that turn you from your faith in him?"
29958Would the superintendent in charge interest himself sufficiently to get away from it?
29958You coming?"
29958You did n''t give the alarm?"
29958You did?"
29958You do not?
29958You flying from superstition?
29958You get me?
29958You get that?"
29958You going away because-- because of that tree business?
29958You going?
29958You have n''t lost it?"
29958You know now how wrong you were?
29958You know that I have been right all the way through, and that you have been wrong?
29958You know what you''re talking about?"
29958You really-- meant to marry me?
29958You remember White Point?
29958You remember the cargo from Fort Allerton?
29958You remember the night that you found Bill by the pine tree, which, by the way, served me as a mail office for orders from my local customers?
29958You will accept that condition, if I show you how you can-- make good with your-- headquarters?"
29958You will call your men off his track-- until you catch him red- handed?
29958You will leave Charlie alone until you capture him running the whisky?
29958You''ll shake on it?"
29958You''re goin''to get me, an''when you get me, you''re goin''to give me twenty- four hours''free run for the border?"
29958You''re going to fix a police station here, are n''t you?"
29958You''re stopping?"
29958You''re sure he''s dead?
29958You''re sure?"
29958You''ve heard?
29958You''ve made nothing of that corral place, sir?"
29958You-- a man- hunter?
29958You-- a man- hunter?
29958You-- fear treachery?"
29958You-- you are not against the law?"
29958You-- you would n''t dare to-- use them?"
29958the girl exclaimed,"whatever are you playing at?
