Description

Carl Schwartz burst into the living room of the Moon Valley Ranch house with fire in his eye and pathos in his voice:"As sheur as I standing here am, dot schwein I'm going to kill!"'"I'll jest bet yer a million dollars ter a piece o' custard pie yer don't," said Bud Morgan, rising from the lounge where he had been resting after a strenuous day in the big pasture."I'll pet you," shouted Carl. "Der pig pelongs mit me der same as you.""Go ahead, then," said Bud, lying down again. "But I want ter tell yer this, and take it from me, it's ez straight ez an Injun's hair, yer kin kill yer own part o' thet hawg if yer want ter, but if my part dies I'll wallop yer plenty. I've spent too much time teachin' thet pig tricks ter lose it now.""Vich part der pig you own, anyvay?""Ther best part; ther head.""Den I dake der tail. By Chiminy, I get skvare yet so soon. I cut der tail off, und dot vill make der pig not able to valk straight ven he can't der tail curl in der opposite direction. Den ve see how mooch der tricks he done. Vat?""I'll hev ther law on yer if yer interfere with thet pig.""What's the matter with you two fellows?" asked Ted Strong, the leader of the broncho boys, who was writing some letters at the big oak table in the center of the room."Der pig, he moost die," cried Carl tragically."Why, what has 'Oof' done now?""He has ate all mein gabbages," answered Carl, with almost a sob."Well, s'posin' he hez," said Bud. "What in thunder is cabbages fer, if they ain't ter be et by pigs?""Yes, you, but not fer dose kind of pig. Maybe you might eat dem und it vould be all right, but not der pig mit four feet."Carl had a small garden back of the ranch house, in which he had been raising cabbages, devoting all his spare time to them and good-naturedly taking the joshing the boys gave him. They were of the opinion that a cow-puncher was degrading himself by working in a garden."Jumpin' sand hills, he'll be takin' up knittin' when winter comes on, an' makin' of his own socks," said Bud, in disgust."No, he's going in for tatting," said Ben Tremont. "He's going to make a lot of doilies for the chairs so we won't soil the satin upholstery with our oily hair."As all the chairs in the living room were very plain, made of solid oak, with bullhide seats and backs, this remark was received with laughter."Go aheadt!" said Carl. "Ven you ain'dt drough, let me know. I know your own bizziness. Ven der vinter comes und I haf dot deliciousness sauerkraut, und am eating it, und ven your mouts vater so dot you slobber like a colt off der clover, den-ah, den, I gifs you der ha-ha, ain'dt it? Den you see who der knitting und der tatting do, eh?"Carl laughed at the thought of how the boys would miss the sauerkraut which he was going to make. But now "Oof," the pet pig of the establishment, had eaten them nearly all, and was standing in his sty too full even for the utterance of his usual lazy grunt. He looked like an animated keg of sauerkraut with four pegs at the corners for him to stand on, so full was he of Carl's cherished and esculent cabbages."How in the world did he get into the cabbage patch?" asked Ted. "I thought you had made it pig tight.""So did I," answered Carl. "No pig but vun mit der teufel inside him vould haf got der fence over.""Got over ther fence!" snorted Bud. "Why, yer feeble-minded son of a downtrodden race, thet thar pig couldn't hev got over ther fence without a balloon. Thet fence is six feet high. A deer couldn't jump it.""I didn't saying so. He cannot yump, dot pig. He cannot moof, so full mit gabbages are he. No, he didn't yump, he yoost sving himself over mit dot fence.""Slush! Yer gittin' plumb dotty. No pig could swing hisself over thet fence.""But it's der only vay vat he could, und Song, der Chineser cook, saw him did it.""You don't believe what a Chinyman tells yer, do yer?""What did Song say? How did the pig do it?" asked the boys, roused to interest in the squabble by this statement.
