EARLY HISTORY OF CLOUD COUNTY
THE LONE CABIN
By L.E. Smith
“It is death for you, anyway,” she moaned, “for I hear the rattle of Dick’s axles already.” “Stay; there’s the rain barrel,” said I, in desperation, “they’ve tried that once, they may not again.”
Before you would be able to speak a sentence, the water was dashed out of the cask and stealing down into the arid soil, and I was in the barrel, and the woman dropping a tub half filled with water in at the top as a cover.
She had barely time to enter the house, the door of which, fortunately, opened on the side away from the moon, when a rattling vehicle drew up at the door, and I heard a hoarse voice raving and swearing at the woman for something done, or undone, and then from the bunghole, the plug having been dislodged in the upsetting of the cask, I saw the furious return of the three renegades.
There was a good deal of loud talking, and explanations, and oaths, and stirring up of hot nectar, and rough remarks about the cistern in the corner; but both Dick and the woman seemed sore about that matter, and the man peremptorily refused to join the hunt because of the coffin.
“Well, you’re going our way a piece,” said Wolf, “likely enough you’ll have the fun of seeing us wing the turkey.”
The conversation was distressingly personal, made acutely so by Dick asking: “Is there water enough out there, Jen, to drink my horse?” “I’ll see,” she returned, moving slowly over the door-sill, and then, leaping to the cask, she lifted out the tub, and tipped my prison over a little so that I could spring out. I was behind the cask when Dick came to the door and chirruped his beast up to the tub to drink.
