smile played upon his lips.

"That's what I allus said, gentlemen," lazily remarked Whiskey Dick,
a few weeks later, leaning back against the bar, with his glass in
his hand. "'George,' sez I, 'it ain't what you SAY to a fash'nable,
high-toned young lady; it's what you DOES ez makes or breaks you.' And
that's what I sez gin'rally o' things in the Ford. It ain't what Carr
and you boys allows to do; it's the gin'ral average o' things ez IS done
that gives tone to the hull, and hez brought this yer new luck to you
all!"
