Her Letter—Half-title |
11 |
Is wasting an hour upon you | 13 |
That waits—on the stairs—for me yet | 15 |
With whom do I waltz, flirt, or talk? | 17 |
To look supernaturally grand | 19 |
And the hum of the smallest of talk | 21 |
With the man that shot Sandy McGee. (In color) | 23 |
The man that shot Sandy McGee | 25 |
Of that ride,—that to me was the rarest | 27 |
And swam the North Fork, and all that | 29 |
Mamma says my taste still is low | 31 |
That my heart's somewhere there in the ditches | 33 |
His Answer—Half-title | 35 |
I should write what he runs off his tongue. (In color) | 37 |
Being asked by an intimate party | 39 |
That with you, Miss, he "challenges Fate" | 41 |
Though the claim not, at date, paying wages | 43 |
And the rose that you gave him. (In color) | 45 |
Is frequent and painful and free | 47 |
Imparts but small ease to the style | 49 |
In this green laurel spray that he treasures | 51 |
But he lies there quite peaceful and pensive | 53 |
For I have a small favor to ask you | 55 |
Here's my pile; which it's six hundred dollars | 57 |
Her Last Letter—Half-title |
59 |
That you last wrote the 4th of December | 61 |
And you're not to be found in the ditches. (In color) | 63 |
From this spot, that you said was the fairest | 65 |
To London, when Pa wired, "Stop" | 67 |
And as to the stories you've heard | 69 |
Whose father sold clothes on the Bar | 71 |
With a look, Joe, that made her eyes drop. (In color) | 73 |
To find myself here, all alone | 75 |
Ah! gone is the old necromancy | 77 |
And you called the place Eden, you know. (In color) | 79 |
And the copse where you once tied my shoe-knot | 81 |
There's the rustle of silk on the sidewalk | 83 |
But there's still the "lap, lap" of the river. (In color) | 85 |
There's a lot that remains which one fancies | 87 |
He thinks he may find you | 89 |
And good-night to the cañon that answers | 91 |
I've just got your note. You deceiver! | 93 |
Now I know why they had me transferred here. (In color) | 95 |
How dared you get rich—you great stupid! | 97 |
The man who shot Sandy McGee | |
You made mayor! | 99 |
