46799After you found this paper, Captain, you watched to see if any one seemed to be searching for anything, I suppose?
46799All very well,Dick told him,"but where do I come in?"
46799And he wanted us to know that this man was heading into the east first of all; is that what you mean, Dick?
46799And now all we have to do is to get our bearings, and make a fresh start for the river; is n''t it?
46799And that the warning would be for our benefit, you mean? 46799 And then?"
46799And who can blame him?
46799And, after that, all we have to do is to let the swift current carry us along to the sea; eh, Dick?
46799Are you badly hurt?
46799But I got there, did n''t I?
46799But can he be in the pay of that revengeful Frenchman, François Lascelles?
46799But how do you suppose he could have received the message?
46799But suppose it should?
46799But who could be the guilty man in the camp?
46799But why not?
46799But you remember how that false guide deceived us in the desert, and ran away with one of our horses?
46799But, Dick, who could the treacherous rascal be? 46799 But, if we do trip him up,"continued Roger, reflectively,"what do you believe Captain Lewis will do to the wretch?"
46799Can it be game, and they are being tempted to start on a hunt?
46799Can you make it out at all, Dick?
46799Dick, what does all this mean? 46799 Dick,"whispered Roger,"is n''t it nearly time?"
46799Did you ever see anything so mad as he is, Dick?
46799Did you see Captain Lewis make the gesture he explained to us?
46799Do you mean it might turn out to be a trap?
46799Do you mean that French trader, François Lascelles?
46799Do you mean to tell Captain Lewis about the knife- slit along the bottom of our boat?
46799Do you mean you did n''t like the way that Indian acted, and that you meant to stay awake to keep an eye on him?
46799Do you really mean to say, Dick, he would forgive the rascal on that account?
46799Do you think it would be dangerous if you shot your gun off just once, in case we sighted some game? 46799 Do you think the beast can move the stump?"
46799Do you think the chief will keep his word about the horses, Dick?
46799How are we going to get him out of that trap?
46799How did you feel when going through the air?
46799How do you find it?
46799How far are we from camp, do you think, Dick?
46799How far do you mean to go before stopping, Dick?
46799How is the night going, do you know?
46799If he never knows it there can be no harm done, do n''t you see?
46799If that''s all we need, Dick, how would this one over here do for our purposes?
46799If they should come, Dick, what do you suppose would happen to us?
46799If, instead of taking to their heels, the pack turns on us, and starts to fight, what must we do?
46799It can hardly be more than two miles or so away from here, would n''t you say?
46799It is settled that we are to go along with them, of course?
46799It was a trap, you understand, Roger?
46799Meaning that we will learn who the traitor is?
46799Never mind about that now,the one above told him;"but do you know how you are ever going to get up out of that place again?"
46799Of course they''ll tie us up, as Indians always do their prisoners, Dick?
46799Of course you have not been able to place your hand on the guilty party, Captain, have you?
46799Of course you noticed, Dick, that two of the braves stayed behind when we left the river, though they did catch up with us several hours afterwards?
46799Our fathers never showed the white feather when they faced troubles just as bad, and why should we? 46799 Ready?"
46799Shall we keep on now for the camp, and show this message on the bark to Captain Lewis?
46799So, you fell to the bait, did you, boys? 46799 Suppose you try him, and see if he can understand, Dick?"
46799Tell me how, then?
46799That''s good news; and what next, Dick?
46799The bait will be a stock of powder and ball, and perhaps several guns, unless I fail to catch your meaning, sir?
46799The captain assures me the chances are three to one we will come back by this same pass over the mountains, and why not cache the horns somewhere? 46799 Then are we not going to bring about his rescue, even if it does cost us some of our precious powder and shot?"
46799Then we are to try our luck in the midst of the snarling, white- capped water- wolves, are we, Roger?
46799Then you agree with me, Dick, that those two men must be our bitter foes, François Lascelles and Andrew Waller?
46799Then you agree, do you, Dick?
46799Then you agree, do you?
46799Then you believe, do you, Dick, he planned this thing; that perhaps he even entered our camp with such a game in his mind?
46799Then you must be thinking that some animal may come in here, and you mean to block the passage so we will not be taken by surprise; is that it?
46799Think you own the earth do you?
46799Watch him now, Dick; what does he mean by all that curly stuff? 46799 We may run across game on the way back, do n''t you think, Dick?"
46799Well, we have been able to take care of ourselves lots of times before now, Roger, and why not again?
46799Well, what has that to do with me, Dick? 46799 Well, what of it?"
46799What are you doing, Dick?
46799What can it all stand for?
46799What do you believe Captain Lewis will do about it?
46799What do you expect Captain Lewis will do, Dick?
46799What do you think they expect to do with us now?
46799What does all this mean, my boys?
46799What have you been telling them about us?
46799What is it?
46799What of that,asked Dick,"since we expected to spend a good part of the day in paddling up the stream, after shooting the rapids?
46799What shall we do about the boat?
46799What shall we do first?
46799What shall we do next?
46799What, do you think that, after all, some of the trailers among our friends will be able to follow us, and take these Indians by surprise?
46799When we do strike the river, Dick, can we easily tell whether the expedition has passed or not?
46799Where are you, Roger?
46799Who is the next one you have on your list?
46799Why should I not do so, when the first intimation I received that there was a traitor in the camp came through you two boys? 46799 Will that make any difference; or do you think he may be just shamming?"
46799Yes, what is it, Roger?
46799You do n''t believe there''s any danger lurking near by, do you?
46799You mean about escaping from our captors, do n''t you, Dick? 46799 You mean his money has hired some one to play this terrible trick that might have cost us our lives; is that it, Dick?"
46799You mean the fighting Flat Heads may turn on them, sooner or later; is that it, Dick?
46799You mean, Dick, if the captain wishes to see for himself the mark of the treacherous knife blade?
46799Your gun, Dick?
46799And I do n''t think we''ll be bothered any more by Mr. Bear, do you?"
46799And then, besides, do we not know that the summer is already beginning to wane?"
46799Besides, how can we tell whether this brave is an enemy or a friend?"
46799But I wonder, Dick, how he will manage to let them know about the rifles and ammunition in the supply tent?"
46799But what can a Sioux warrior be doing here, in the land of his foes, the Mandans?"
46799CHAPTER X SPRINGING THE TRAP"I WONDER if the plan will work?"
46799CHAPTER XXVIII AT THE FALLS OF THE COLUMBIA"I HOPE you do n''t think I''m discouraged, Dick, because so far no fish has come near my hook?"
46799Can you make it out, Dick?"
46799Did you ever see such a nest of the''varmints,''as Jasper Williams would call them?"
46799Did you miscalculate the danger, or was it something that could not be helped?"
46799Do you know whether the Sioux and the Dacotahs are enemies or not?"
46799Do you think that can stand for a river?"
46799Do you think that is all put on for effect?
46799Does that mean the trader came back again, in spite of the warning Captain Lewis gave him?"
46799He wondered if any harm could have come to Roger, or was the other trying to get to the fallen sheep that had slipped into a crevice among the rocks?
46799Hear him plunging off, will you, Dick?
46799How about giving him a shot, Dick?
46799How do you feel about that now, Roger?"
46799How will we ever be able to find out about it, do you think?"
46799I wonder if any one could have been caught under a tree when it fell?"
46799I wonder whether the Dacotahs whipped, or were overpowered by their foes?
46799It strikes me we ought to know that hat, cleverly imitated here; what do you say about it?"
46799Now, are you ready to do a lot of yelling?"
46799Suppose we try and see if we can make ourselves understood?"
46799Were they then, after all, to be cheated out of the anticipated triumph they had arranged for that night?
46799What do you make that out to be?"
46799What do you say to it, Dick?"
46799What do you say to trying to knock over one or two of those fine fellows?"
46799What do you say, Roger?"
46799What if the fellow had become suspicious, and determined not to allow himself to be attracted by the bait?
46799What makes them act that way, do you know?"
46799Where do I fall short, Dick?"
46799Where have they all gone?
46799Who''d ever believe such a little knock against a rock would have burst the tough skin of our hide boat?"
46799Why do you think these Indians want to make us prisoners?"
46799With plenty of good venison to last them through many days, what need had they to worry?
46799Would one of our Indian friends have played such a mean trick on us, do you think?"
46799Would you believe it?
46799You understand what that means, of course, Roger?"
46799You''ve got your bearings, of course, and know just where we left our mounts?"
46799how could Beaver Tail, so far away from here, know of any danger that hung over our heads?"
46799is that one of those sheep of the mountains up there on that little patch of grass?
46799what is all that noise ahead of us?"
