"No. My old shack will do without me for a while, I guess.--Say," he

you think she could use a fellow like me?"
A silence fell upon the group of men.
"What! Do you mean it, McCuaig?" said Duff at length.
The man turned his thin, eagle face toward the speaker, a light in his
eyes.

it's all over? He read out of the papers that them Germans were shootin'
