39236But a fire flashed from his eye,''twixt their thought and their reply,--_ Toll slowly._"Have ye so much time to waste?
39236But who that fought in the big war Such dread sights have not seen?
39236Did you know Briggs of Tuolumne?-- Busted hisself in White Pine, and blew out his brains down in''Frisco?
39236Fail I alone, in words and deeds?
39236Fearest thou?"
39236Hast thought on me, my fair?"
39236How, Helen, dost thou fare?
39236I sink back shuddering from the quest-- Earth being so good, would heaven seem best?
39236I''ve better counsellors; what counsel they?
39236Is it the wind those branches stirs?
39236Is thar, old gal,--Chiquita, my darling, my beauty?
39236Is there none will ride to win me, to win me for his bride, The lady Kunigunde of Kynast?
39236Is this thy neck, that curve of moonlight, Which Helva''s hand caressed?
39236Know the old ford on the Fork, that nearly got Flanigan''s leaders?
39236Might she have loved me?
39236O art thou false or dead?"
39236O mother, what is bale?
39236O mother, what is bale?
39236O, who rides by night thro''the woodland so wild?
39236She stood upon her towers, she looked upon the land, The lady Kunigunde of Kynast: I''m all alone at home here, will no one seek my hand?
39236Should he sack a town, or rob the mail, Or on the wide seas a pirate sail?
39236The bell strikes twelve-- dark, dismal hour?
39236The calender, amazed to see His neighbor in such trim, Laid down his pipe, flew to the gate, And thus accosted him:"What news?
39236The first that the general saw were the groups Of stragglers, and then the retreating troops, What was done?
39236The hour is past, the Giaour is gone; And did he fly or fall alone?
39236The steeds rush on in plunging pride; But where are they the reins to guide?
39236This foot once planted on the goal, This glory- garland round my soul, Could I descry such?
39236Up came the reserves to the mellay infernal, Asking where to go in,--through the clearing or pine?
39236Wakest thou, or sleepest?
39236Was time too short?
39236Were we saved?
39236What act proved all its thought had been?
39236What does it all mean, poet?
39236What hand and brain went ever paired?
39236What heart alike conceived and dared?
39236What is it that beams in the bright sunshine, And echoes yet nearer and nearer?
39236What need to strive with a life awry?
39236What sport can earth, or sea, or sky, To match the princely chase, afford?"
39236What time had passed Above our bowed heads, we pent, pinioned there By awe and nameless horror, who shall tell?
39236What was it, that passed like an ominous breath-- Like a shiver of fear, or a touch of death?
39236What was it?
39236What will but felt the fleshly screen?
39236What yonder swings And creaks''mid whistling rain?"
39236Whence come they?
39236Where had I been now if the worst befell?
39236Whereat he stared, replying, half- amazed,"You would not let your little finger ache For such as_ these_?"
39236Wherefore is it thus?
39236Who knows but the world may end to- night?
39236Who knows what''s fit for us?
39236Who thundering comes on blackest steed, With slackened bit and hoof of speed?
39236Who?
39236Why does the course Of the mill- stream widen?
39236Why roars in the valley the raging fight, Where swords clash red and gory?
39236Why shrieks the owlet gray?"
39236Why start the listeners?
39236Why, all men strive and who succeeds?
39236Will nobody answer those women who cry As the awful warnings thunder by?
39236Will nobody speak?
39236Without my William what were heaven, Or with him what were hell?"
39236Would ye b''lieve it?
39236You acquiesce and shall I repine?
39236a ditch!--Shall we pause?
39236and would you men should reck that I dared more for love''s sake As a bride than as a spouse?
39236and-- What did you say!--Oh, the nevey?
39236dost fear?
39236dost fear?
39236he says;"My boy, upon what dost thou fearfully gaze?"
39236just as well She might have hated,--who can tell?
39236laughest thou, or weepest?
39236or did she forget That Fearnaught stood in the stables yet?
39236she faintly said;"But why so stern and cold?
39236the Rangers?"
39236was it the twitter of frightened bird, Or was it the challenge of sentry she heard?
39236what atones?
39236what news?
39236what to do?
39236what was that, like a human shriek From the winding valley?
39236what yonder sings?
39236your tidings tell; Tell me you must and shall.-- Say why bareheaded you are come, Or why you come at all?"
10539And is n''t that best?
10539Are we all right in placing the ladies on the left?
10539Careful,he added, and Esmeralda, adjusting herself studiously, asked:"Is it really easier to ride on the road than it is in the school?
10539Cross,Esmeralda?
10539Do you understand,Theodore asks,"that these horses adjust their gait to the music?"
10539Hairpins in your saddle pocket? 10539 Is he a very good rider?"
10539Is n''t it a good thing to give a horse a tidbit of some kind after a ride?
10539Is there anything which you would like to have me do?
10539No?
10539Perhaps you will learn, but will-- I-- teach-- you? 10539 Shall I tell you before hand, so that you may have time to make your horse trot, too?"
10539Shall we trot?
10539Suppose I hear something or somebody coming up behind me?
10539Then why do n''t you do it?
10539Theodore,she cried, as soon as he appeared in the evening,"did you ask the master to go with us?
10539What do I care for a pretty girl?
10539What''s the matter with him?
10539Where do you ride, sir?
10539Why did n''t you make your horse step sideways?
10539Why do n''t you dismount and give them to her?
10539Why do you make coquette of your horse?
10539Will you teach me how to ride, sir?
10539You are tired? 10539 You think so?"
10539A hopeless wreck, eh?
10539A music ride?
10539And first, what color can you have?
10539And how many of you were riding straight?"
10539And now, have you read Delsarte?
10539And these others?
10539And you are going to take one private lesson so as to learn a few little things before you display your progress before any other pupils again?
10539And you mean to take some more lessons if you find that you really need them?
10539And you really fancy, Esmeralda, that you are ready for class lessons?
10539And you want to learn how to ride, Esmeralda?
10539And you would like to know just what it will cost, and everything about it?
10539Are they not coming any more?"
10539Are we ready now?
10539Because having had seven lessons of various sorts, and two rides, you do not feel yourself to be a brilliant horsewoman?
10539Because?
10539But are you really going on the road, Monday, Miss Esmeralda?"
10539But might you not, if your habit were thin, catch cold while your horse was walking?
10539But still, you do not know what color you can wear?
10539But you have been assured, on the highest authority, that fifty lessons in class are worth a hundred private lessons?
10539But,"addressing the cavalryman, who was in advance with Versatilia,"is this procession a funeral?"
10539Can he snatch her from the saddle, after the matter of one of Joaquin Miller''s young men?
10539Can you believe your ears?
10539Delightful?
10539Did I tell you to do anything with your arms?
10539Did you ever try it?
10539Did your master advise it?
10539Do you see how much better your horse carries himself, and how much better you carry your hands, after those little exercises?
10539Do you think this horse is good?
10539Do you understand?
10539Does she not argue?"
10539Dropped your whip?"
10539Frightened?
10539Half an hour?"
10539Have you read Delsarte?"
10539He picked himself up, and returned to the mounting- stand, saying:"Will you tell me how to stay on next time?"
10539He wo n''t go?
10539How do you like it?
10539How long do they trot or canter at a time?
10539How many dancing lessons, music lessons, elocution lessons have you taken?
10539How much notice do you think your master requires to"make his horse trot"?
10539How shall you hold your reins?
10539I told you to sit to the left, the other day?
10539Into the saddle well thought, thanks to your master, but why that ghastly pause?
10539Is it not with her on foot as it is on horseback?
10539Is n''t this a pretty horse?"
10539It''s too heavy, do n''t you think?"
10539More than seventeen?
10539Must you do all those exercises?
10539No- no, but he consented to give it, when you had persuaded him that it would be best for you?
10539No> Well, why did you bring your elbows back of your waist, then?
10539No?
10539No?
10539No?
10539Now, do you remember the six things?
10539Pray, how do you know how you would feel if a saddle were to turn?
10539Regard her as a warning, Esmeralda, and keep your mind-- What is the matter with the reins?
10539SHALL YOU TAKE YOUR MOTHER, ESMERALDA?
10539Shall we start up?
10539Shall we trot again?"
10539Shall you buy trousers or tights?
10539Shall you not need pictures and diagrams to assist you?
10539The master came up, and the society young lady addressed him with,"Very silly of her to try to exhibit herself so, is n''t it?"
10539This is your obedience, is it Esmeralda?
10539Tired, Esmeralda?
10539What does that mean?
10539What is it now, Esmeralda?
10539What is that?
10539What is the trouble on the mounting- stand?
10539What is the trouble with the ladies now?"
10539What must you pay for your habit?
10539What shall it be, Esmeralda?
10539What shall you do by way of exercise before Monday?
10539What will he say when he sees the necessary brevity of your performance?
10539What''s that?
10539When you had persuaded him?
10539Where, where are your toes?
10539Who, then, shall be his substitute?
10539Why could n''t you pull up and pass out behind me?"
10539Why did George Washington and the other fathers of the republic exist, if its daughters must be in bondage to common sense and expediency?
10539Why do you want to take riding lessons?
10539Why must I go to the centre the minute that you bid me?
10539Why not practise this exercise before your first lesson?
10539Why not?
10539Why that long face, Esmeralda?
10539Why?
10539Why?
10539Why?
10539Why?
10539Wilful will to water, eh, Esmeralda?
10539Will you have him?"
10539Will you please tell me all the ways of holding the reins?"
10539You are conscious of not making a respectable curve in return, and you draw a deep breath of disgust as you say,"That was very bad, was n''t it?"
10539You are not comfortable?"
10539You are not tired?
10539You are still conscious of stiffness, Esmeralda?
10539You can ride?"
10539You do n''t care, and you feel very well, and are very glad that you went?
10539You feel as if it were?
10539You rose without trying?
10539You think that you can not begin to subject yourself to military discipline so soon?
10539Your master treated you as if you were an ignorant girl?
10539Your stirrup is too short?
10539do you say?
39115And on that account you laid this information against him?
39115And you did not ask whether the horse was his or not?
39115Are Mr. Deuce''s habits penurious?
39115Are you accustomed to horseback exercise?
39115Are you sure that was his reply?
39115But about the wind?--state of the weather? 39115 But did that cure you?"
39115But do you think that will do me any good?
39115But how shall I manage? 39115 But is it bad advice in your case?
39115But your master, he must be a wonder?
39115But, about horses? 39115 Can he ever be made to go upon three?"
39115Can the gentleman say I have not suited him?
39115Did he ever sell a horse for you?
39115Did he not go to the Doctor with that intent?
39115Did the Doctor give the price of the horse to the gentleman, or did you?
39115Did they not almost amount to monomania?
39115Did you ask him if the horse was his?
39115Did you believe his assertion?
39115Did you consider that good advice?
39115Did you consider that reply as affixing the ownership of the horse to himself?
39115Did you ever authorize him to sell a horse for you?
39115Did you know of his resolution to bring this action?
39115Did you persuade him to consult Doctor Gambado?
39115Did you see the horse sold?
39115Did you think the horse was the Doctor''s own?
39115Do you mean Gambado, the horse dealer?
39115Do you remember what he said, when he brought the gentleman into your or his yard?
39115Do you ride much?
39115Do you walk much?
39115Gentlemen, have you had any refreshment after your journey?
39115Had the Doctor seen the horse before?
39115Has he any horses to sell?
39115Has he any horses?
39115Has he any share in your business?
39115Have you a horse of this description?
39115Have you any fever?
39115Have you any particular pain?
39115Have you got a horse that would suit me?
39115Have you had any advice at Salisbury? 39115 Have you seen my horse?"
39115He asked him,''_ Have you got a horse that will suit me?_''"What was his reply?
39115He asked him,''_ Have you got a horse that will suit me?_''"What was his reply?
39115He considers, then, in this case, that my client will be mulcted in costs?
39115He might then say,_ there was a horse in his stable_?
39115He quarrels with everybody?
39115How can I do so? 39115 How do you know that?"
39115How far from your own stables?
39115How is your appetite?
39115How is your pulse?
39115How is your sight?
39115How is your sleep?
39115How long before you were well again?
39115How long did you ride before you felt better?
39115How long have you hired the Doctor''s stables?
39115How many horses do you generally keep there?
39115I am glad to hear it, my Lord: but to what purpose is your visit to me this morning? 39115 I am obliged to Doctor Turnbull, for the mention of my name; but I must make some inquiries about your bodily health?"
39115I ask you, if he has not, in the neighbourhood of Blackheath, the character of being very litigious?
39115I may say then, sir, you considered it entirely pro bono publico?
39115In a separate stable?
39115In what name, Doctor, shall I write the cheque?
39115Is anything wrong, my dear?
39115Is he not very angry?
39115Is that all?
39115Is that all?
39115It was not from any morbid indulgence of any splenetic humour with which you were at that time afflicted, that induced you to bring this action?
39115JOHN,--Will you be ready to start for York in an hour? 39115 May I ask the nature of the complaint for which you consulted so eminent a physician as Doctor Gambado?"
39115May we go and look at him?
39115Now, sir, I think, when you proposed to consult Doctor Gambado, that he objected?
39115Now, sir, did he say, that_ he had a horse_ in his stables that would suit you?
39115Pray was the horse that the plantiff, Mr. Deuce, bought, your property or the Doctor''s?
39115Pray, are you in partnership with Doctor Gambado?
39115Pray, sir, are you a married man?
39115Pray, sir, did you ask him, if the horse was his that you bought?
39115Pray, sir, do you hire Doctor Gambado''s stables?
39115Pray, sir, do you understand the law of libel? 39115 Pray, sir, had you any previous acquaintance with Doctor Gambado?"
39115Pray, sir, may I ask-- Did you go to consult Doctor Gambado for any complaint?
39115Shall I ride her, to show you her qualities?
39115Shall I ride him there now, and bring back your cheque?
39115Then how comes he to be so litigious?
39115Then what''s the matter with you?
39115Then you did say he was a horse dealer?
39115Then, I presume you acted in this manner entirely upon hearsay evidence?
39115Then, really and truly, you took the money for your own horse, kept it, and did not give the Doctor a farthing?
39115There,said Mr. Deuce to his friend Ryecross,"what say you now to the Doctor dealer?
39115To your knowledge, did the Doctor ever sell a horse?
39115Upon what grounds?
39115Upon what grounds?
39115Was he not very splenetic?
39115Was it a sense of justice to your country, that entirely induced you to try and_ smell a rat_ in this gentleman''s character?
39115Was your friend very warm upon the subject of the Doctor''s horse dealing?
39115Were you ill at that time?
39115Were you present when he consulted Doctor Gambado?
39115What do you say yourself?
39115What good, madam? 39115 What is it, John?"
39115What is the matter, my Lord?
39115What is the matter? 39115 What is your advice?
39115What is your advice?
39115What question did your friend put to the Doctor about the horse?
39115What shall I do for a horse?
39115What was his advice?
39115What was his reply?
39115What were these grounds?
39115Where do you say he exhibits these tricks?
39115Who do you consider sold the horse? 39115 Why not?"
39115Why so, John? 39115 Will thou lend me thy mare to go a mile?
39115Will you order him to be sent to my house on Blackheath?
39115Will you pay the Doctor?
39115Will you, my dear friend? 39115 You are a horse dealer?"
39115You are sure he sold it to you?
39115You are the friend of the last witness,--are you not?
39115You asked for one that would bear the whip: did you not?
39115You had a better opinion of Doctor Gambado?
39115You had no quarrel with Doctor Gambado?
39115You have known him for some years?
39115You have told the court, sir, that you purchased the horse of Doctor Gambado?
39115You knew what that meant?
39115You know both the plantiff and defendant?
39115You positively affirm upon oath that the Doctor is not a horse dealer?
39115You recommended him purely for his health?
39115You were deranged, sir; were you not?
39115And how came he into notice at all?
39115And who is to pay for it?
39115But how came he to take up this exercise?
39115Choleric?"
39115Could I but make as much of him as that, he would be, of all creatures, the very one to set me up again?
39115Deuce?"
39115Did he say_ he had a horse that would suit you_?
39115Did you ever feel so, my friend?"
39115First, Who was he?
39115Hast thou a nose to smell a rat?
39115Have you been under any medical treatment?"
39115How would you like that?"
39115If a wife may not expostulate with her husband, who may?
39115Is he at home?"
39115Is the name of Tattsall, as it used to be called, corrupted, from a hundred years ago, now to that of Tattersall?
39115It was said to Gambado, in the day of his greatest reputation,"We will certainly have you in Westminster Abbey?"
39115May I ask if such was your case?"
39115Now, Mr. Deuce, I must put rather a strong question to you:"Did you ever accuse Doctor Gambado of being a horse dealer?"
39115Pray what sort of horse do you want, sir?"
39115Surely, Doctor Greathead, you must be deceived in this respect?"
39115The Doctor said,"John, what did you say the horse was worth?"
39115What did he do?
39115What happiness could such a man have in his retirement?
39115What is it?"
39115What think you, sir?"
39115What was he?
39115What will become of my patients?
39115What would Gambado think, if he could see His own predictions made a verity?
39115What would you suggest?"
39115Where did he live?
39115Who can predict one single year''s advance?
39115Who is to look after my patients?"
39115Who likes to see a church half restored, and half a ruin?
39115Why, if you know his remedy, do you not pursue it?"
39115Will you follow my advice?"
39115Will you send her down to Birmingham?
39115With your permission, Sir Nicholas, I will speak to her myself concerning your treatment?"
39115You are not come to consult me professionally about yourself, I hope?"
39115You met with no accident, to give your nervous system a shock, did you?"
39115You once consulted me, did you not?"
39115Your Lordship will not impute to me any thing wrong in the character of the horse?"
39115[ Illustration] If men will ruin themselves, whose fault is it?

39115or did he say,_ there was a horse in his stables that would suit you_?"

39115what change?
39115what is your advice?
39115what more should we say, Than if we would indulge them, we must pay?
39115why did you not tell me this before?
39115why so?"
39115will you?"
39115with me on her back?"
39115would it not do you good to try it?
37271Am I growling, Jack? 37271 And if I go wrong you''ll help me meet the consequences, even though you would rather I chose the other way?"
37271And you do feel it your duty this time, do n''t you, Frieda?
37271But I do n''t feel like a daughter to you, Jim, and never have, certainly not as a little girl, so why should I begin now? 37271 But are the men practicing lassoing this afternoon?
37271But suppose I should want to do something? 37271 But suppose it would not do me harm, but bring me great happiness, what then?"
37271But suppose they do n''t go well? 37271 But what do you desire then, Jacqueline Kent?
37271But what is the great career to be?
37271But you have n''t anything_ different_ to say, have you, Frieda, so why let us talk of it at all?
37271But you will let me see you attempt it again? 37271 Can that be a herd of horses or cattle stampeding there toward the east, Jim?
37271Do you suppose things quieted down as soon as I disappeared?
37271Do you think we will know to- night without doubt?
37271Do you think, Mrs. Kent, a fellow is apt to forget a girl who could ride and hunt and shoot better than nearly any young man in Wyoming? 37271 Frieda, in spite of all your sweetness, do n''t you realize that you are rather hard sometimes?
37271Good gracious, Jack, is n''t that Ralph on his way here this instant? 37271 Has it given you more than most people, Jack?
37271How do you think you are going to make yourself heard in Washington if you ca n''t be heard here?
37271How far has the bargain gone?
37271How long has she been ill and why have n''t you let me know?
37271I have come to ask you, Jack, if there is any possibility of your accepting the offer which was made you to- day? 37271 I suppose I should not dare attempt to find if I have altogether lost my skill?"
37271I wonder if you can tell me the name of the town where Jim was hurt yesterday?
37271I wonder what there can be ahead for me, Ralph? 37271 Is that you, Jack?"
37271Making an exhibition of yourself, Jack?
37271May I, or may I not, Jim?
37271No, Jim, and why should you?
37271Nothing has happened, Frieda? 37271 Now tell me, did n''t you go over to the village on the day you were hurt because you heard I was to make a speech and there might be trouble?
37271Oh, perhaps I may be your opponent some day, who knows?
37271Olive had that same absurd attitude toward you as a girl, did n''t she, Jack? 37271 Olive, was there ever so much worldly wisdom possessed by any one person as by Mrs. Henry Tilford Russell?
37271One is so glad to find something or some one to talk about in a small community, is n''t one?
37271Perhaps it is a bit premature to talk of my running for Congress, Mrs. Kent, but if I do may I count on your support?
37271Should she or should she not? 37271 So you are thinking of playing Lady Nancy Astor in the United States?
37271Still, having done your duty, do n''t you think that after all I may be allowed to use my own judgment in this decision? 37271 Suppose I would have spoken first of being tired, although I am tired straight through, if things had worked out as we hoped?
37271Tell me, Jim, is that Jimmie''s pony ahead of us? 37271 That is rather a tall order, do n''t you think, Frieda?"
37271The blow on your head occasioned a loss of memory?
37271Then why did n''t you let me hear this morning? 37271 Think I would not already have told you, Jean, if they were?"
37271Tired?
37271Trying to run away into your beloved outdoors in the usual fashion, Jack?
37271Trying, Billy? 37271 Vain of you, do n''t you think?"
37271Want me to give up trying to manage the ranch, Jim? 37271 Well, what is the news?"
37271What''s the trouble, Jean?
37271What?
37271Why a present for me? 37271 Why not you, Senator, if Mrs. Kent is elected to office from Wyoming?
37271Why should I have been annoyed, Frieda? 37271 Will you bring Mrs. Kent''s horse back to the Rainbow lodge?
37271Will you come in? 37271 Wo n''t you let some of the other little girls come down to the lodge and stay with me?"
37271Would it bore the men dreadfully to have me take part, do you think? 37271 Yes?
37271Yet, Frieda, you feel I ought to question Ralph when Jim, who is his dear friend, is unwilling? 37271 You are a Republican, are n''t you?"
37271You are n''t going to turn poet, or painter, or actress, Jack, after displaying no fondness for the arts in all these years?
37271You are not sleepy, are you? 37271 You do desire it, wish to give up your title and all it means in England, and even in the United States for that matter?
37271You do n''t intend by any chance to be my opponent?
37271You do n''t think I would be too great a bore? 37271 You will be the talk of the countryside, Jacqueline Kent, and who knows where else?"
37271You wo n''t tell the family what I have done, will you, please, Jim?
37271A woman without a country?"
37271Absurd under the circumstances, yet Jack blushed furiously and then laughed:"Am I never, never to cease to hear of my ridiculous exploit?
37271After all, why was Jack not at home to explain her own eccentricity?
37271Afterwards what happened, Jim?
37271Am I not the last person in the world you would ever have dreamed attempting a public speech?
37271And after the rumpus began and Jimmie and I were safely on the way home did n''t you try to find out who was responsible for the discourtesy to me?
37271And did n''t you arrive so late you felt it best not to tell me to go home, because I had already started to speak?
37271And is it fair of you to blame me when I am unsuccessful?
37271And suppose what I wanted to do should become my heart''s desire?
37271Apologize for me, wo n''t you?
37271Appreciating her own lack of knowledge and of training for the task ahead, why not decline at once and for all time ever to consider it?
37271Are you more disappointed over that wretched election than you have been willing to confess?
37271Are you not more willing to let me be of assistance to you until you are able to repay me?
37271Are you staying in your own country because you wish to be a famous woman some day and the United States offers the best opportunity?"
37271Are you very deeply disappointed?"
37271Besides, if she were honest, frank, and open- minded, would it not be a wonderful experience?
37271Besides, why worry?
37271But I----""See here, do n''t you think you have said enough, John?"
37271But do you think you will be happy, that is the main thing?
37271But of course with Jim looking after the branding of the new calves this afternoon what chance have I of Jimmie''s being anywhere near?"
37271CHAPTER XVI THE ELECTION"When do you think we will hear, Jack?"
37271Do I hear correctly that you mean to resume your American nationality as soon as you can go through the necessary formalities?"
37271Do n''t you suppose I have guessed the greater part of it?"
37271Do n''t you think Jean has had a long enough period of agony and suspense?
37271Do the others know?"
37271Do they think me a kind of wild west show?
37271Do you realize that if one is out of practice roping is a fairly dangerous sport, Mrs. Kent?
37271Do you suppose you could speak to him?
37271Does that not make a difference?
37271From the first had she not warned her sister that public speech making would lead to something more disastrous?
37271Goodness, is that one of our formidable neighbors approaching?
37271Had she altogether forgotten her past prowess?
37271Had she forgotten how exhilarating, how thrilling the lassoing was?
37271Has Jim come back?
37271Have I not warned her that she could never make a public speech?
37271He ca n''t be anywhere near- by?"
37271How dared you ride over the ranch alone when I have told you it was forbidden?
37271I am not so impossible a person, am I?
37271I presume you realize that if you accept you will be my opponent?
37271I wonder if Jack is the beauty these days or Olive?
37271I wonder if any one of us would be as courageous in her present circumstances?
37271I wonder if life will ever teach you to be different?"
37271I wonder if that is why life seems to find it necessary to give me so many knocks?"
37271If Ralph were unable to return home as he had anticipated why had he not telegraphed?
37271If she were elected to Congress would she ever be the old- time Jack again?
37271Is Jim in his room, or has he gone with Jean and the little girls?"
37271Is Peace very ill?"
37271Is there any order you wish to give, or any message?
37271Is there to be a contest?"
37271It is all right, is n''t it?"
37271It would not be pleasant to have Jim disappear as Ralph Merritt has, would it?
37271Jacqueline Kent laughed:"Frieda dear, do n''t I always try?
37271Jimmie ca n''t have ridden over here alone?
37271Kent?"
37271May I be introduced to the three men who are here, if they do n''t mind?"
37271May an American woman who has married a foreigner after the death of her husband assume her former nationality if she so desires?"
37271No one ever gives me a present any more, and who is it from?"
37271Olive, what about you and Bryan?"
37271Peace is all right, and Professor Russell and the others?"
37271Politics seem to me a great career, perhaps the greatest of all careers, these days, so may I congratulate you?"
37271Ralph has been away over a year, has n''t he, working always at the mine in New Mexico and writing regularly?
37271Remember, Frieda dear, when you planned to be a florist and to rescue the family by selling violets?
37271Remember, I believe firmly that we shall hear from Ralph within the next few days, or the next few hours, who knows?
37271Shall we go indoors to enjoy her visit?
37271She meant to win, else why the struggle and the fatigue and, more often than she confessed, the heartache?
37271So why the present discussion?
37271So why were you not the person, as Lady Astor was in England?
37271Suppose we ask an old friend of yours, Peter Stevens, whether at present you are an American citizen or a British subject?
37271Ten minutes later, leaning back in the car with her eyes closed, Jack demanded:"Were you pleased with me this afternoon, Frieda Ralston Russell?
37271Then arriving there, how did you manage to get into the midst of a rough- and- tumble fight?
37271Then may I borrow some one''s horse?
37271Then she called softly,"Jean, Jean, what has become of everybody?
37271Try it with me some day, wo n''t you?
37271Want a career, Jacqueline Ralston Kent?
37271Was there anywhere else in the world such a wide sweep of country, such plains and prairies and desert sands covered with sage brush and cacti?
37271What do you suppose we ought to do about it, Jim?"
37271What do you think I might be able to do, Jim?
37271What does the boy himself wish to do, stay here at the ranch and learn to be a ranchman under my training, or go back to Kent House?"
37271What influence do you suppose your sermons will now have among the cowboys?
37271What is it you really think, Jean?"
37271What is it?
37271What is the news?"
37271What is your heart''s desire, Jim Colter?"
37271What will you do with yourself?
37271Who ever heard of such a foolish title?
37271Why did I ever think I could?
37271Why should we be so much more conservative than England?
37271Will you come indoors or shall we walk about among your old violet beds?
37271Will you ride back to the lodge to dinner with me?"
37271Wo n''t you at least promise me to talk to Jim Colter and to ask his advice before you leave?"
37271Wo n''t you be my wife, Jack, and go with me to Washington in that capacity and not as my political adversary?
37271Would her neighbors judge her action so harshly that it would interfere with their friendliness toward her?
37271Would she actually need him more, or was it because he cared more for her need than for any possible human demand that could be made upon him?
37271Would she or would she not?"
37271Would you hate it if I should take an interest in politics?
37271Would you withhold it from me, Jim?"
37271Yet in what way had he been hurt and how serious was his injury?
37271Yet on the other hand, had she the right to evade so wonderful an opportunity?
37271Yet what does it matter, now you are at home?
37271Yet you wo n''t desert me if the worst happens, Frieda?"
37271You are sure you can not stay longer, not even for tea?"
37271You ca n''t have everything, you know, be a public character and a----""And a human being?
37271You feel sure you will not regret your decision?
37271You would dislike the idea very much, would n''t you, Senator Marshall?"
21841A bottle, Ted?
21841A messenger, Ted?
21841A trail, you say?
21841All right; where will you take up your stand, Frank?
21841And I can just imagine how Eugene''s little eyes will sparkle when he hears about that valuable paper; eh, dad?
21841And after reaching such a conclusion as that, how comes it you persisted in trying to carry out your original intention?
21841And both horses are there?
21841And how far does this thing run-- is it fifty miles in length?
21841And in all these times I suppose you''ve never known anybody to be around here?
21841And in the morning?
21841And leave him loose here, with the horses close by?
21841And now, please, tell us what it''s all about; wo n''t you; and what this gentleman has to do with it; also the bottle Ted said you were handling?
21841And what did he tell you, Frank?
21841And what then?
21841And will you start after him right away, Frank?
21841And yet none of the rough riders have even thought to search that rocky pile for her den, you say?
21841And you found her home? 21841 And you still want to go on horseback; when you might reach the railroad, and take a train, easily enough?"
21841And you think it may have been our friend, Havasupai?
21841Any signs of the lame yearling, Frank?
21841Are you Sheriff Stanwix?
21841Are you gentlemen from Prescott?
21841Back again, Pete; and did you see anything of that seven head?
21841But Frank, if the Moqui carried that note of yours to Uncle Felix, he would be on his guard, and absolutely refuse to sign away the papers?
21841But I do n''t see Abajo anywhere about the piazza of the hotel; do you?
21841But did n''t it strike you, dad,ventured Frank,"that his excuse for being under that window was silly?"
21841But did you notice the clever way Charley Moi avoided the deluge?
21841But do you really think Abajo was listening?
21841But do you think we ever can find the hermit of Echo Cave?
21841But how d''ye suppose this greasy old Indian ever got the document?
21841But in that case, Frank, how under the sun could the old fellows ever get up to their dens, which you said must be near the top of a high cliff?
21841But it wo n''t make a bit of difference in our plans, dad; will it?
21841But just stop and think how easy Abajo, sharp rascal that he is, rose to my little bait?
21841But some time between dark and morning these three rascals went in here, and surprised the hermit of Echo Cave-- is that it, Frank?
21841But what about camping here?
21841But what can we do with this fellow, Frank?
21841But what has happened, Ted?
21841But what if we miss, and the beast attacks us?
21841But what was he prowling around the camp for?
21841But what''s Hank going to do?
21841But when do we start?
21841But where did the big one go to; has she escaped after all?
21841But where did you meet him?
21841But you did n''t see any goat, Frank, did you?
21841But you do n''t want to tell John Henry that we saw him making a bargain with Spanish Joe, I take it?
21841But you promise to return my papers to me after I have complied with your outrageous demands?
21841But, Frank, however could the old Moqui get up there to see Uncle Felix?
21841Can we trust him?
21841D''ye suppose he made some sort of signal, and the hermit lowered a long rope with a noose at the end, which would draw him up? 21841 Did n''t I hear something about his being a relative to that Spanish Joe who gave us so much trouble a little while back, on Thunder Mountain?"
21841Do n''t you wish you knew?
21841Do you mean the man who signed his name here, Professor Oswald?
21841Do you think you can track him, Frank?
21841Easy now, Buckskin; what''s making you act this way? 21841 Find''em Frank?"
21841Footprints, and were they made by the old professor, do you think?
21841Getting to be a habit, is n''t it, Frank?
21841Have you any idea where it came from?
21841He got the precious paper, all right, eh?
21841Hear that, Mr. Stanwix; he says we''re going to get off easy, and you might as well wish us good day right now?
21841Here, can you tell us where my horse kicked you?
21841How about it?
21841How about that, Charley; is this the place where you hang out?
21841How about that, Hand?
21841How about that, Hank?
21841How about that, Havasupai; were n''t you thinking of stealing a horse, when that animal just keeled you over so neatly?
21841How did he get out of here?
21841How do? 21841 How many times have you come up this far, Charley Moi?"
21841How under the sun d''ye suppose that old professor could ever get up and down? 21841 I reckon they will have a heap to say about it; and Abajo, after this, wo n''t take us for easy marks, will he?"
21841I suppose it''s us to hit the saddle again now?
21841I suppose we take our guns along with us when we''re going the rounds of the sights?
21841I suppose you know the writing well enough to feel sure this came from your noted uncle, sir?
21841I wonder how much he heard?
21841Is he doing stunts; or does he want us?
21841Is it about that scheming cousin of your father''s-- what did you say his name was-- Eugene Warringford?
21841Is there no other way out?
21841Just when did this happen, Charley Moi?
21841Listen to Buckskin snorting; what d''ye suppose ails him?
21841Makes a fellow feel mighty small; does n''t it?
21841Me? 21841 Meaning about that business of listening under the window?"
21841Meaning his craze to be the fortunate man of science to unravel the mystery that has always hung over the homes of those cliff dwellers?
21841Meaning if this Eugene Warringford keeps his hands off; and nothing else turns up to balk us?
21841Now I wonder what''ll be the next thing on the programme? 21841 Now, what d''ye think of that?"
21841Of the seven head of cattle that have disappeared, you mean, Frank?
21841Old Hank Coombs, perhaps, Frank?
21841Perhaps we''d better douse the glim, then?
21841Perhaps you have n''t had any supper, and would n''t mind taking pot luck with us?
21841Pete Rawlings, the fellow who went with Abajo to round up the missing cattle?
21841Remember the way Old Hank showed us how to toll antelope for a shot, when you ca n''t find cover to get near enough?
21841Right now?
21841Say, do you really believe he knew we were in here?
21841Say, do you think they are up there yet?
21841Say, does n''t that beat everything you ever heard of, Bob?
21841Say, whatever does all this mystery mean, Frank?
21841Say, you do n''t mean to tell me you think Eugene would go that far?
21841Shall we climb up that straggly path along the face of the wall, and see what the old things look like?
21841So Ted managed to round you up in great style; did he? 21841 So you think I''d consent to stay out here tamely, while you two were having a regular circus in there?"
21841So, that''s the way the wind blows, hey?
21841So, that''s the way the wind sets, is it?
21841That looks as if he must be somewhere on the Colorado River, do n''t it?
21841That sounds good to me,Bob remarked;"but how will you do it?"
21841That you saw a Moqui last night, and after we had come to halt right here?
21841That''s all right, Frank; I''ll attend to it,declared Bob;"but why under the sun do you suppose now, that sly old Moqui dodged out like that?"
21841That''s what I want to do; but how can I make sure?
21841Then if we are fortunate enough to find Uncle Felix before that time has expired, what shall we do, sir?
21841Then it is n''t the half- breed?
21841Then the paper interested you, dad, it seems?
21841Then they must have been hiding some place near here, and saw the Moqui pass in?
21841Then we go up, and put a spoke in their wheel, do we?
21841Then we have n''t yet got to the place where the Chinese buyer meets his employer with the eatables?
21841Then what will we do about him?
21841Then when you saw our little fire, you thought we were the kind of steers you wanted to round up?
21841Then you do n''t blame old Uncle Felix for staying, do you?
21841Then you think she did it, do you?
21841There''s somebody talking to our guide right now; and say, Bob, do n''t you recognize the fellow?
21841There''s something wrong, Frank; tell me what it is?
21841Think it''s genuine, Frank?
21841Think we can make Flagstaff by to- morrow night?
21841Think we''ll make it, Frank?
21841This belong to you, Havasupai?
21841This water feels fine after that long, dusty and tiresome ride, eh?
21841Want me?
21841Was he a small man with a bald head, no hair on top, and wearing glasses over his eyes, big, staring glasses?
21841Well, shall we head for that elevation, and see what we can find?
21841Well, what can we do then?
21841Well, what do you think about this?
21841Well, what of that, Frank?
21841Well, who knows what may happen?
21841Well,observed Bob, with a gleam in his eye,"now that we''ve found a way to get up to Echo Cave, have we the nerve to start in?"
21841What ails you, Bob?
21841What are we going to do for a guide when we let him go?
21841What became of that old Moqui Indian?
21841What d''ye think, Frank,he exclaimed, presently;"do n''t you remember promising to share our venison at breakfast with the Moqui?"
21841What did you say?
21841What did you see?
21841What do you think of that slippery customer, Abajo?
21841What does he mean, Frank?
21841What have you done with that old Moqui who came up here ahead of us?
21841What have you found, Frank?
21841What is it, Bob?
21841What is that?
21841What makes you think so?
21841What seems to be the matter with him, Frank?
21841What then?
21841What we want to know is, how you came to get so close to the heels of my horse as to be kicked? 21841 What''s that you say, Frank?"
21841What''s that you say?
21841What''s that? 21841 What''s the row?"
21841What''s this here yer lookin''at? 21841 What''s wrong, Ted?"
21841When the sun is going down in the west, far beyond the horizon, do n''t you see that it can only shine along the very upper part of the cliffs? 21841 When would you want us to make a start?"
21841Where did you get it?
21841Where did you leave Abajo?
21841Where from, and what''s your names?
21841Where under the sun did you run across that fine game? 21841 Who are you talking about, the Moqui?"
21841Who d''ye think it can be; and would a bear or a mountain lion pick up our tracks this way?
21841Who is there at the window?
21841Who was that, Pete?
21841Why do n''t you answer me, Moqui?
21841Why high up? 21841 Why not send us, dad?"
21841Why not to- day, Hank?
21841Why not?
21841Why not?
21841Why yes, to be sure I do; but what of that, Bob?
21841Why, how is that, father?
21841Will we be able to see the game with such a poor light?
21841Will you let me see the note, please?
21841Yes, unless the sly old beast has a back door to her home; how about that, Hank?
21841You can tell from the beat of their horses''hoofs-- is that it?
21841You did?
21841You do n''t suppose now, Frank, that we''ll be bothered to- night?
21841You know we found out before now that he''s got the greatest pair of ears ever for hearing things? 21841 You mean they would n''t be so bold about coming forward?"
21841You mean with the red handkerchief waved over the top of a bush?
21841You seem to be tickled about something, Bob; has that paper any connection with it?
21841After all the hard work which he and Bob had put in to save that precious document for Janice, was it to be lost?
21841And may I inquire concerning the result of your labors in that line?"
21841And now, with night setting in, how far do you think we''ve covered since the start this morning?"
21841And what else did you happen to decide after this wonderful fit of thinking, may I ask, sir?"
21841And you say his name is there, signed to that paper found in the sealed bottle?
21841Another dead calf?
21841Are you on, Bob?"
21841Besides, did n''t you see all those queer little indentations that looked as though they might have been pools away back years ago?"
21841But Frank, how about making the old range call?"
21841But Frank, however in the wide world do you suppose he found out the way to get up there?"
21841But do you know what he means by whooping birds?"
21841But look here, Frank, you do n''t imagine that thing was done on purpose, do you?"
21841But what does it all mean, do you suppose, Frank?"
21841But where does that ragged crevice start from down here, do you think?"
21841CHAPTER II RIDDING THE RANGE OF A PEST"Well, what do you think now, Frank?"
21841CHAPTER VII STANDING BY THE LAW"What had we ought to do?"
21841CHAPTER X THE COPPER COLORED MESSENGER"Do you really mean it, Bob?"
21841CHAPTER XI AT THE GRAND CANYON"Do you mean it?"
21841CHAPTER XII HOW THE LITTLE TRAP WORKED"What do you think of it?"
21841CHAPTER XIII GOING DOWN THE CANYON TRAIL"Was I right?"
21841Ca n''t you imagine that yellow face of the half- breed turning more like saffron then ever when he learns that we played him for a softy?"
21841Charley Moi, what are you doing in the big canyon, tell me?"
21841Could he have wounded himself in any way when he fired his repeating rifle?
21841Could it be possible that they were destined to run across those desperate characters sooner or later?
21841Did they happen to know of any such magnet?
21841Did you ever hear of such luck?
21841Did you sight her, and get a shot?"
21841Do you hear, Professor?"
21841Do you know what that is?"
21841Do you think any bargain has been struck between them?"
21841Do you understand that?"
21841Get that, Bob?"
21841Go easy with me; ca n''t you?"
21841Got it now?
21841Had Bob been unlucky enough to run across one of those aggressive little prairie rattlesnakes after all?
21841Has he a shining top when he takes his hat off; and does he bend over, as if he might be hunting for diamonds all the time?"
21841Have you put him away in some place, the entrance to which is hidden from our eyes?"
21841He turned to the Chinaman, and continued:"Did you happen to notice, Charley, whether this party you are working for is a bald- headed man?
21841How Ah Sin?
21841How about this, Professor?"
21841How did you do it, Bob?"
21841How do you feel about it, Bob?"
21841How?"
21841How?"
21841However do you think he did it, Frank?"
21841I do n''t get on to any reason for your saying that?"
21841Is my father dead?"
21841Is there anything in the world that you value above that document which you know by this time has suddenly increased in value many times over?"
21841It could n''t be replaced, Professor, I imagine?
21841Let me go?
21841Perhaps that may be Eugene''s stopping place; eh, Frank?"
21841Ready, son?"
21841Remember how fortunate it was he turned up when he did, at the time we wanted to follow that plague of the cattle ranges, the wolf, Sallie?
21841Sabe, Flank, Blob?"
21841Sabe?"
21841See here, Charley Moi, could you show me just where you saw this Moqui last?"
21841Shall we call it a go, Frank?"
21841Speak up; where is it?"
21841That will make three against us; wo n''t it, Frank?"
21841The only question now is, how can we get in touch with the hermit of Echo Cave?"
21841The sun is said to be red when its setting; that''s plain enough; is n''t it, Bob?"
21841The yearling was red, you said, Frank?
21841Then he''s still alive?"
21841Then you believe he must have found the presence of those windows looking out of the cliff just like we did; by using a powerful glass?
21841This makes a round half dozen head your father has lost in the last month, does n''t it?"
21841Too far for him to have a rope ladder; and even if he had, how could he reach the place at first?
21841Understand that?"
21841Understand?"
21841Was that a human voice?
21841What do you see, Bob?"
21841What for?"
21841What if it should prove to be a grizzly bear?
21841Where do you suppose we found it, dad, but in the big bunch of rocks that lies about ten miles to the west?"
21841Where have you been to- day?"
21841Why could n''t it have come about when we were on deck?
21841You know how it was when Peg Grant threw his hat in the ring, and tried to find out what made those queer sounds in the heart of Thunder Mountain?"
21841You never heard of such a place, did you, Mr. Hinchman; and you''ve lived on the lower river many years?"
21841You see it now, do n''t you?"
21841You understand all that I am saying, do n''t you?"
21841a messenger from town, was it?"
21841after all we did for him, took him in, and forgave his sins, even to offering to mend any broken ribs, if he''d had any, through that horse kick?
21841did you get on to that, Frank?"
21841did you make out anything with the glasses, Frank?"
21841do you really mean it?"
21841do you then consent to open your mouth, and tell what I want to know?"
21841he added turning to the wondering Celestial,"go back to our camp, and bring our guns right away, both of them, see?"
21841that''s going some, eh, Bob?"
21841then he means that we''re to go into the cave, and get our game-- is that it, Frank?"
21841they do things on a big scale around here; do n''t they?
21841three, you said, Frank; and that would mean Eugene, Spanish Joe, and Abajo, would n''t it?"
21841torture, perhaps?"
21841you saw him enter the hidden stairway, then, and that was how you learned the way to reach these cliff dwellings?"
19120A storm, you mean?
19120A tame panther, you mean, Frank?
19120About like a brakeman might swing his lantern if he was on a freight train in a black night, eh?
19120About the panther, you mean?
19120Ai n''t headin''toward home, are ye, Frank?
19120And Bob, you noticed, did n''t you, that it seemed to come right out of that hole? 19120 And I do n''t get any whiff of smoke, do you?"
19120And did he?
19120And do you know what I think?
19120And if that did n''t work, what then?
19120And it has to do with this misty feeling in the air; has it?
19120And that was the chief himself?
19120And who''s this with you-- your new chum; the boy from Kentucky?
19120And you say you''re bound out now?
19120And you tell me nobody knows what it is?
19120Any chance of getting up the rocks, Frank?
19120Any ordinary range rider might do that, even if he lost out,Peg went on;"but my game is along different lines; see?
19120Are you coming on, Peg?
19120Are you huffed just because the independent little rascal would n''t let us mother him? 19120 Are you thinking that perhaps we''d better get out with our nags, while we have the chance, and leave them, while we keep up the game on foot?"
19120But Frank, we do n''t believe in any such thing, do we?
19120But I say, Frank, is the fact that he''s private property going to make any difference; that is, do I shoot straight if I get the chance again?
19120But do you take any stock in what Peg said about an avalanche?
19120But if we needed the glass to find out who he was, how does it come that an old man like Hank could tell that we were friends, at such a distance?
19120But if we''ve got to try it, Frank, what''s the use of waiting?
19120But is it possible that some hermit is living in this cave?
19120But look here, Frank, you''ve heard your dad talk about this Thunder Mountain business, I take it?
19120But say, did you take notice of the way our horses acted while that thing was going on?
19120But see here, Nick,Peg went on, anxiously;"did n''t you notice anything when you were leading me up here like a lamb to the slaughter?
19120But then, it may not come for hours yet?
19120But this is the same old turtle crawl, is n''t it; the_ barranca_ we followed up to the time we climbed the slope with our horses?
19120But to return to our mutton, which after all is antelope meat, when do we start operations? 19120 But we wo nt let''em drive us out of here until we know all about that geyser, if there is such a thing; will we, Frank?"
19120But what I wanted to remark is this: you must have heard him give an opinion about this thunder sound?
19120But what can I do?
19120But what does that matter, when neither of us can find any fire around? 19120 But what if he had a big object in it, Bob?
19120But what makes you say that, Nick?
19120But why did n''t you tell me all this before?
19120But would they be in danger in case of a storm- burst?
19120But ye did n''t expect to take a turn thar when ye left home, did ye?
19120But you do n''t feel disappointed, do you?
19120But you do n''t mean to say Peg did that?
19120But you do n''t want to go back just yet, do you, Frank?
19120But you suspect they might have another reason, too?
19120Ca n''t you think of some way we might get out of this? 19120 Cow punchers; or perhaps rustlers?"
19120Did you find out what ailed him?
19120Did you notice how he had a silk handkerchief bound around his head, regular Mex fashion?
19120Did you say coffee?
19120Do n''t you see that it''s only a little Mexican boy on that bag of bones of a horse? 19120 Do we go?"
19120Do we need to hold the horses down any longer?
19120Do you expect we''re going to have a peck of trouble with these miners?
19120Do you know the old chief, then?
19120Do you mean that you''ve guessed what makes all that frightful noise?
19120Do you really mean you think we''ve come far enough for that?
19120Do you think Joe had a torch?
19120Do you think so?
19120Do you think you could find that exact spot again?
19120Do you? 19120 Does that mean this is the exact place where Joe had his little circus, Frank?"
19120Even if it takes till morning?
19120Even if you knew it was Peg Grant you''d treat me that way; would you? 19120 Feel the wind, will you?"
19120Frank, do you think it''s going to reach up here?
19120Frank, that roaring sound did n''t seem like the others we''ve been hearing; d''ye think it means anything has happened?
19120Frank, you felt that wet sensation, like fine spray, did n''t you?
19120Get him?
19120Glad to do that same, Frank,the veteran cowman replied, and then added:"but jest why are ye headin''this way, might I ask?
19120Got enough?
19120Has the cloudburst arrived?
19120He has no claim on Thunder Mountain; has he? 19120 Head him off, Frank; or shall I jump on my horse and try to rope him?"
19120How about your leg, Joe; can you walk?
19120How are ye, young Haywood?
19120How is it, Senor Frank; can you get me out,_ camerado_?
19120How''s this for a camping place?
19120How?
19120I can see something that seems blacker than the night itself; is that what you mean, Frank?
19120I guess you did n''t notice something queer about that animal, then, Bob?
19120I have four already; how do you stand?
19120I''m just primed for something that''s out of the common run; and what could be finer than such a game? 19120 In other words, we''d better be looking around for a place to camp, Frank?"
19120In what way? 19120 Indians?"
19120Is that all, Hank?
19120It might happen here on Thunder Mountain, too, could n''t it, Nick?
19120Listen to that, Frank?
19120Looks easy, does n''t it, after we''ve run across a clue?
19120Meaning at old Thunder Mountain?
19120Meaning where I sniffed that smoke each time? 19120 Mighty little, Bob,"replied the other, dropping beside him;"how''s the water coming along?"
19120Navajos, ai n''t they?
19120No luck, eh?
19120No telling what he may run up against there, eh?
19120None of the boys on the ranch would go with you, then?
19120Not brimstone and sulphur, I hope?
19120Now what''s the programme?
19120Now what?
19120Now, I wonder did he mean that; or was he just bluffing?
19120Now, what could it have been? 19120 Now, what do you mean by hinting in that way?
19120Now, why did n''t somebody ever think of that before?
19120Ready to go on, then?
19120Recognize the rider, then? 19120 Rustlers, maybe?"
19120Say, I do n''t suppose, now, you''d care to sell that animal, Archer?
19120Say, do I?
19120Say, look here, would you take me up if I proposed something right now?
19120Say, now, what d''ye think of that, Bob?
19120Say, what d''ye reckon anybody could want a lantern up there for? 19120 See that timber over yonder, where a stream runs?
19120Silly? 19120 So that''s old Thunder Mountain, is it?"
19120Suppose we do, and the sulphur fumes suffocate us? 19120 Supposin''she is what ye tell, that ai n''t any reason the explosion''s got to come this particular night, is it?
19120Supposing the thing broke loose before we could find any place to climb out?
19120Tell me why, wo n''t you, please, Frank?
19120That a landslide is going to start things going on Thunder Mountain any time-- is that what you mean?
19120That is, hang around until night, and wait to see if the grinding begins again, as it did when we were in camp below?
19120That''s all right, Bob,replied his chum, quickly;"but are you ready to give the game up here and now?"
19120That''s what you could call a close call; eh, Frank?
19120The geyser has stopped beating against the inside of the mountain, has n''t it? 19120 The one we said was a lantern?
19120Then it was a narrow squeak, was it?
19120Then prospectors-- Lopez and his bunch?
19120Then something_ did_ get hold of him; did n''t it, Frank?
19120Then there wo n''t be no more racket, will there?
19120Then they went on up that canyon, you believe?
19120Then this thing has been going on forever, has it?
19120Then what''s to hinder both of us going at it?
19120Then ye mean to go into camp soon?
19120Then you could recognize it; eh?
19120Then you do n''t believe that little Lopez had anything to do with it, Frank?
19120Then you think we''re going to get caught here, Frank?
19120Then you wo n''t wait for us?
19120There''s the sun coming up; and perhaps we''d better be getting a move on about now?
19120Think you see signs of trouble from Peg and his bunch; or is it something else?
19120Want me to light a torch too, Frank?
19120Was it? 19120 Was there ever such a long night?"
19120We must be getting down somewhere near the canyon, are n''t we, Frank?
19120Well, does that strike you as silly?
19120Well, how about it?
19120Well, what are we going to do about it?
19120Well, what d''ye think of that?
19120What about it? 19120 What ails the beast?"
19120What are you going to do?
19120What are you sniffing about, Frank?
19120What black opening did you try to enter; and what happened to you,_ amigo_? 19120 What d''ye mean pointing your old gun up at me, and making as if you meant to shoot?"
19120What do you mean by hitting me like that?
19120What do you say?
19120What do_ you_ mean, hurting that poor little Mexican girl?
19120What does it matter to you, Frank Haywood, when I left the greenhorn class and moved up a pace? 19120 What have you discovered, Frank?"
19120What is it?
19120What is it?
19120What makes you say that?
19120What of that? 19120 What under the sun do we want to get inside the mountain for?
19120What was that flash, Frank? 19120 What was the use, boss?
19120What would cowmen be doing away off here, tell me that, Bob? 19120 What''s doing?"
19120What''s on?
19120What''s the matter now?
19120What''s the matter, Frank?
19120What''s the matter-- you did n''t cut yourself, I hope?
19120What, that Mex boy? 19120 Whatever can have happened to him?"
19120Which way, Frank?
19120Who, me?
19120Why do you think they left the trail, and made their horses climb up?
19120Why not take a snack before we leave our base of supplies? 19120 Why, do you really believe the racket comes out of that hole?"
19120Why, what did you expect?
19120With a collar around his neck, too?
19120Wo n''t they be apt to run over us?
19120Yes, and how do we know but what this Mexican boy is hooked up with that Mendoza crowd?
19120Yes?
19120You do n''t believe, then, that there could have been some kind of storm up there; do you?
19120You do n''t say? 19120 You go across mountains, eh?"
19120You mean of course for to- night only, because you''d never think of such a thing as giving up the game so early, Bob?
19120You notice we happen to be sheltered more or less down here, when she comes out of that same quarter?
19120You understand that we are your friends, Lopez, do n''t you?
19120You''re both going to pay dear for this little fun, hear that?
19120You, Senor Frank?
19120You-- would, eh?
19120''Cause, I opine, ye wants me to carry thet same news back home; do n''t ye?"
19120And if Spanish Joe, why not the other cowboy who was in bad repute among the ranches; yes, and Peg himself?
19120And it worked too, did it?"
19120And lugging along a bunch of extra mounts, too, in the bargain?
19120And why was Peg Grant standing on the stoop of the tavern grinning as I rode past?
19120And would n''t I hate to lose Domino the worst way; even if he does give me a raft of trouble at times?"
19120And yet it does n''t seem to be a fire, does it?"
19120Are you feeling better, Bob?"
19120Are you ready for a shock?"
19120Are you ready to turn the bend, Bob?"
19120Besides that; what could there be to make trouble?"
19120Bob exclaimed;"If what you tell me turns out to be true, it looks as if we were bottled up in a nice hole, does n''t it?
19120Bob, would you see what is coming out from among those loose rocks there?
19120But I wonder, now could I find it?
19120But Nick likes a joke as well as any cowboy; and who could keep a straight face after seeing what happened here?
19120But do you know what kind of thorn this is?"
19120But just think of a tenderfoot like Peg let loose on that fierce slope up yonder; will you?"
19120But look here, what d''ye suppose they''re doing so far away from their reservation?"
19120But now we''re in here, I hope we find out the truth soon, do n''t you, Frank?"
19120But say, what''re you sniffing that way for, Frank?"
19120But say, you said something about a hermit just now?"
19120But see here, Frank, do white men-- cowboys, prospectors, and the like-- believe this mountain is haunted?"
19120But see here, Frank, is this little affair going to force us to change our plans?"
19120But stop and think Bob; what d''ye expect takes these cattle- rustlers over this way right now, headed straight for the canyons of Thunder Mountain?"
19120But supposing this thing_ does_ turn out to be true; how''s it going to affect our little business, Frank?
19120But tell me, why did he pick out_ my_ horse, instead of your Buckskin?"
19120But what became of the little Mex?
19120But what has that got to do with the measly old grumble of the mountain, tell me?"
19120But what was so funny about him, Frank?
19120But whatever would anybody up there be signalling for, and who to, Bob?"
19120But where do you suppose Joe can be all this time?
19120CHAPTER IX WHAT HAPPENED TO PEG"Then you think the same as I do, eh, Bob?"
19120CHAPTER XI THE BLACK NIGHT"How does this suit you, Bob?"
19120CHAPTER XIII THE SMOKE TRAIL"Are you sure of it?"
19120CHAPTER XV SPANISH JOE DROPS A CLUE"Where can he be, Frank?"
19120Can he have had a hand in this sudden crazy spell of the black?
19120Can you see any swinging motion to the light Frank?"
19120Could n''t I induce you to name a price on that black beauty, Archer?"
19120Could you see any signs here to tell about that?"
19120D''ye reckon it could be one of those rustlers; and would they try to hold us up so as to get our mounts?"
19120Did he have a rubber neck, you mean?"
19120Did he have only one eye; or was he three- legged?"
19120Did n''t he come along this trail ahead of us?"
19120Did n''t that knock the old chap silly, though?
19120Did you ever smell sulphur burning?"
19120Do I not know it?
19120Do n''t you feel how the ground shivers?
19120Do n''t you see the point?"
19120Do n''t you see what I mean, Bob?
19120Do n''t you think we''d better lie down till the worst is over?"
19120Do n''t you understand that all that noise is coming_ out_ of this old thing?
19120Do n''t you understand what that means, Bob?"
19120Do they often have that sort of thing out here?"
19120Do we take the dare; or stay out here and wait till the fuss is over before entering?"
19120Do you think so, Nick?"
19120Do you think this always happens when the old mountain breaks loose; or is this an extra big celebration?"
19120Does n''t he look sleepy and tuckered out though?
19120Frank replied; and then himself lowering his lips to the ear of Bob he went on:"What''s the matter with Peg and his crowd?
19120Frank, your shot hit the bull''s eye, and who knows but what we may be on the way to find out the truth right now?"
19120Get it?"
19120Get onto it, Bob?"
19120Get that, Frank?"
19120Get that, Nick?"
19120Give me a whack between the shoulders, wo n''t you, Frank?
19120Had I not been so tired and sleepy, perhaps even I might have shot the bear, who knows?
19120Has he run away, or dropped over into one of those pits we saw on the way up here?
19120Have you entered for the endurance race at the annual cowboy meet next month; or do you expect to take the medal for riding bucking broncos?"
19120Have you forgotten little Lopez, and how frightened he looked when we spoke about keeping him company?"
19120Have you see an opening here, Bob?"
19120How about it?
19120How did you come out about the duffle you were carrying; any of it get lost?"
19120How does that coffee look?"
19120How long did you say now, Frank?"
19120However in the wide world will we get out of this?"
19120I give you my word, my friend here wo n''t put a finger on you, if so be you get the better of the row; will you Frank?"
19120I''m wet to the knees; and did you hear him thank me for it?
19120If I was alone now, d''ye know what I''d likely be doing, Frank?"
19120Is it a go, Bob?"
19120Is it a go, Frank?"
19120Is that it, Frank?"
19120Is that so?"
19120Is that the trouble now?
19120It is n''t a great ways from dawn, is it, Frank?"
19120Nick said so anyhow; did n''t he, Frank?"
19120Now Bob, have you ever been up in the Yellowstone Park region?"
19120Now, I reckon it might have been something about Lopez?"
19120Now, I wonder if those riders hit it up this way?"
19120Now, how''s that?"
19120Now, what does it make you think of, most of all?"
19120Only for you coming, where would I be right now?
19120Peg was happy-- why?
19120Remember that poor little girl Peg Grant was cuffing when you knocked him down?
19120Say, do n''t he sing though, to beat all creation?
19120Say, look at his strut, will you?
19120Say, now, you did n''t see any feathers on their heads, did you?
19120See him rear up, will you?
19120Since when did you climb up out of the tenderfoot class, tell me?"
19120The cave that Spanish Joe had found and entered-- could it have anything to do with the mystery of the mountain?
19120The question is, have we the nerve to try it?"
19120Then you think, now, it might have been a fire?"
19120Then, again, how do we know but what it might be that Peg Grant lot?
19120Think he''ll tackle us again?"
19120Think it''s going to rain, do you?"
19120Understand that?"
19120We must do something to save him, Bob, but whatever shall it be?"
19120What better could we ask, I''d like to know?
19120What brings ye here, Frank?"
19120What do you think about that yarn, Frank; did he meet up with anything; or was he just scared out of his seven senses?
19120What was it like, Bob?
19120What will we do now?"
19120Whatever can it mean?"
19120Whatever sort of power can it be that makes this noise and shivering sensation?"
19120Where is it, Frank?"
19120Who was it gave Peg his little tumble when he was striking that child?
19120Why''d you let me come?
19120Wonder what Peg will say when he runs across us out there in that lonely place?
19120Wonder what he''d say if he knew Frank Haywood was here, so far away from the home ranch?"
19120Would any fellow be so mean as to fasten some of those prickly sand burrs under his tail?
19120Ye ai n''t stopping, are ye?
19120You do n''t happen to glimpse anything queer around here, do you, Bob?"
19120You notice, do n''t you, that the thunder now is about all natural?"
19120You take little stock in that yarn; but, all the same, you think we ought to look into it, now we''re on the ground?"
19120a greenhorn, eh?"
19120asked Bob, eagerly;"footprints?"
19120do you mean that the old geyser has turned into a river, and will keep on running like this right along?"
19120do you mean you smelled smoke three separate times since you left me?"
19120down there, air ye all safe?"
19120exclaimed Bob, presently, as the sound of retreating hoofs began to die away;"what d''ye think of that, eh, Frank?"
19120exclaimed Frank, when he was able to catch his breath again,"What d''ye think of that, now?
19120let up on that kind of talk, will ye?"
19120now, what''s the use botherin''?
19120remarked Bob, elevating his eyebrows;"was that what forced you to take that header down the slope?
19120say, I wonder if that crowd can have anything to do with the rumbling of the mountain?"
19120say, Mr. Smith,"cried Bob,"have you lost a pet that wears a collar?"
19120the Kentucky lad inquired;"something that I might lend a hand at?"
19120then perhaps I''d better be keeping an eye out as we go along, and see how the land lies?"
19120was that what I felt just now?"
19120what brought you here, Frank Haywood, I''d like to know?"
19120what does that mean?"
19120what shall we do, Nick?"
19120what ye a sayin''that for?"
19120what''re you two fellers doing here on Thunder Mountain, anyhow?"
19120what''s that moving there among those rocks just ahead?"
19120what''s the matter Bob?"
19120you do n''t say?"
19120you''re thinking about that volcano business again, eh?"
19120you''re thinking now of that demon Joe told about, eh, Frank?"
30588A ham- bone?
30588A really, truly spirit?
30588A rope?
30588A snake? 30588 About what?"
30588All of it?
30588An avalanche, do you mean?
30588An axiom?
30588And what might that be?
30588And you did n''t mean to drag me out?
30588And you, Ned?
30588Any further compliments you can pay me, Stacy?
30588Anything else you want to know, Tad?
30588Are n''t you pretty hard on us?
30588Are there Indians up here?
30588Are there more of them, Tad?
30588Are we all here, and safe?
30588Are you a guide?
30588Are you addressing your remarks to me or to the mule?
30588Are you afraid of wolves?
30588Are you going?
30588Are you hurt?
30588Are you so anxious to die, Curtis Darwood?
30588Bad characters, eh?
30588Beard hurt you?
30588Black or white?
30588But how shall we ever make it?
30588But the Indians up here now are not at all savage, are they?
30588But what are they signaling for?
30588But when are we going to find one?
30588By the way,called Rector after they had gotten well started and had dropped the village behind them,"what became of our friends?"
30588Can you tell us where we may get one or two?
30588Crazy?
30588Did any of you folks remove the ham and the other stuff from the line last night?
30588Did n''t the Captain say no one knew anything about this gold pass, or whatever you call it?
30588Did n''t you see that he was choking to death, Professor? 30588 Did somebody tell you that, or did you learn it from your own observation?"
30588Did the Thing get you, too?
30588Did they teach you at the Mission to make your squaws work?
30588Did you ever have a thorough physical examination, Chunky?
30588Did you find any birch bark, Ned?
30588Did you let him?
30588Did you think I was going to break into the bank?
30588Do all gold diggers have to pack their outfits?
30588Do n''t I count in this outfit?
30588Do n''t I get my skate?
30588Do n''t we stop for something to eat?
30588Do n''t you like it?
30588Do n''t you understand plain English? 30588 Do we get anything to eat or do we absorb landscape for our supper?"
30588Do you know how the Indians get the wool?
30588Do you know how to cook?
30588Do you mean to tell me that one of our outfit dragged you and me out by the heels last night?
30588Do you think he got some game?
30588Do you think this man will do, sir?
30588Do you want another ducking?
30588Do you wish the cheese done up?
30588Do? 30588 Does father know about it?"
30588Does he kick?
30588Does no one know where they dig for gold?
30588Done up? 30588 Eh?
30588Eh?
30588Eh?
30588Get me? 30588 Ginger snaps?"
30588Has he been cutting up again?
30588Have they found the gold?
30588Have we got to go through that?
30588Have you fellows got back your nerve so that you can help me?
30588Have you filed the papers?
30588He has shot?
30588Here, here, what''s going on here?
30588Hey, Ned, is that you?
30588How about danger for us?
30588How about it, sir?
30588How about rain?
30588How about you, Ned?
30588How about you, Walter?
30588How are you going to free the pack from the mule?
30588How are you going to get up the rest of the way if we do n''t haul you?
30588How did you find it?
30588How do you know Innua is abroad?
30588How do you know it was n''t someone else?
30588How do you know that?
30588How do you know?
30588How do you know?
30588How do you know?
30588How high do you think those trees are, Professor?
30588How is the trail ahead, Professor?
30588How many?
30588How much do you ask for those fellows?
30588How much do you want for the relinquishment?
30588How much does he ask?
30588How much does the animal weigh?
30588How much for the light- colored one?
30588How much?
30588How old are you?
30588How so?
30588How so?
30588How''d you happen to do it?
30588How?
30588Howdy?
30588Hunt up their camp and see what is going on?
30588I beg pardon?
30588I should like to know where?
30588I thought you liked the lighter colors, the delicate tints?
30588I thought you were an Indian, Professor?
30588I''m not much of an adviser, am I?
30588In the far country?
30588Interior of what?
30588Is Innua the scoundrel who has been throwing sections of mountains at us?
30588Is it an ice slide?
30588Is it ever like this in the interior, sir?
30588Is n''t that an axiom, Professor?
30588Is n''t there a place wide enough for us, Tad?
30588Is n''t there any rest at all in this camp?
30588Is n''t there gold in this part, too?
30588Is that all?
30588Is that some kind of joke?
30588Is the mountain spirit willing that we should make a start this morning?
30588Is there no end to it?
30588Is this true, Darwood?
30588Is-- is the world coming to an end?
30588It is Mr. Darwood, is n''t it?
30588Keen? 30588 May I speak with you?"
30588Mountain goats? 30588 Mountain spirits?"
30588Northwest?
30588Now shall we pull you up?
30588Now what can it mean?
30588Of the country? 30588 Oh, it''s you, is it?"
30588Oh, the fellows who do n''t speak to anyone?
30588Oh, you do, eh?
30588Say, ca n''t we arbitrate, without an appeal to force?
30588Say, where''s the trail?
30588See here, you are n''t playing tricks on us, are you?
30588Shall we dress before or after?
30588Shall we go to sleep again?
30588Sick?
30588Singing?
30588So that was the way of it, eh?
30588Some territory that, eh, fellows?
30588Stacy Brown, do you know anything about this?
30588Stacy, you are quite sure you want the black?
30588Tad Butler, did you do that?
30588Tad, how would you like to belong to that party of prospectors?
30588Taku Pass? 30588 Taku Pass?"
30588The Gold Diggers of Taku Pass?
30588The buckskin?
30588The four gold diggers?
30588The ham missing?
30588The next question is, how am I going to get her to camp? 30588 The one I hung up there last night?"
30588The other what?
30588Then perhaps you may be able to tell us whose smoke it is?
30588Then what is one?
30588Then you''ll take them at that?
30588Too bad about the mule, is n''t it?
30588Walter, did you tether the others?
30588Well, are you coming up? 30588 Well, what d''ye think of that?"
30588Well, what do you think of the story?
30588Well?
30588Well?
30588What are they?
30588What are you going to do with it all?
30588What are you going to do? 30588 What are you looking at?"
30588What condition?
30588What did I tell you, Bruce?
30588What did he do it for?
30588What did they say?
30588What did they want with a medicine man?
30588What do they do for provisions?
30588What do you make of it, Tad?
30588What do you mean?
30588What do you mean?
30588What do you mean?
30588What do you mean?
30588What do you propose that we shall do?
30588What do you say, Chunky?
30588What do you think I''m going to do with those joy shoes?
30588What do you want?
30588What does this mean?
30588What flavors have you?
30588What had you done?
30588What ham?
30588What have you got there? 30588 What he said about''Red Whiskers''?"
30588What if we should meet someone here?
30588What is it, Tad?
30588What is it, sir?
30588What is it?
30588What is it?
30588What is it?
30588What is it?
30588What is it?
30588What is it?
30588What is it?
30588What is it?
30588What is their destination?
30588What is your idea?
30588What is your name?
30588What we wanted to ask you about was the Yakutat trail from the coast up?
30588What will you do if we refuse again?
30588What would a bear want with a rope?
30588What you see?
30588What you want me to do?
30588What''d I tell you, Tad? 30588 What''d you soak me for?"
30588What''s that he says about gold?
30588What''s the matter with the others?
30588What''s the matter?
30588What''s the meaning of this outrage, gentlemen?
30588What''s the odds? 30588 What''s this you say?"
30588What''s up?
30588What, Tad?
30588What?
30588When does winter set in?
30588When you mush?
30588Where are they going-- their destination, I mean?
30588Where are you going?
30588Where are you going?
30588Where did you get it?
30588Where do you think they are going?
30588Where is that ham?
30588Where you go?
30588Where you want go?
30588Where?
30588Where?
30588Where?
30588Which direction would you suggest our taking?
30588Who are they? 30588 Who are they?"
30588Who did it?
30588Who is Innua?
30588Who is making that unearthly noise?
30588Who was the fellow who hit you?
30588Who would desire to make trouble for us here?
30588Why ca n''t you?
30588Why did n''t he poison the whole tribe while he had the chance?
30588Why did n''t you punch him when you had the chance?
30588Why do n''t you ask them?
30588Why do n''t you find out, then?
30588Why do n''t you tell it straight if you are bound to tell it?
30588Why do they tie them up in splints?
30588Why do you laugh?
30588Why do you say that? 30588 Why not to- day?"
30588Why not, Professor?
30588Why not?
30588Why one would travel as far as if he were to go around the world in going over all the coast line, then, would n''t he, Professor?
30588Why the black one?
30588Why, how do you do?
30588Will you tell us where the town is?
30588Wo n''t he catch cold? 30588 Wo n''t you sit down and have a snack with us?"
30588Would n''t they make fish poles, though?
30588Yes; have some?
30588You do n''t say?
30588You do?
30588You find big smoke?
30588You horse shaman?
30588You mush bymeby?
30588You see um?
30588You want the black one, you say?
30588You wanted five ponies?
30588You will wake us up at this hour with your unearthly screeching, will you?
30588You would n''t have far to fall if you got bucked off from that kind of broncho, would you, Stacy?
30588You-- you think we have been following you?
30588Am I right?"
30588Are they timber wolves, Anvik?"
30588Are you going, or are you waiting for me to throw you out?"
30588But what''s the use?
30588CHAPTER VII GOING TO BED BY DAYLIGHT"Something else to do?"
30588Ca n''t you folks think of two things at the same time?"
30588Ca n''t you let me alone?"
30588Darwood?"
30588Did I say anything?"
30588Did n''t you hear anything, Tad?"
30588Do n''t you know a rope when you see one?
30588Do n''t you think it was better to end his sufferings with a bullet rather than let him slowly strangle?"
30588Do n''t you understand, Walt?
30588Do you get that?"
30588Do you hear?
30588Do?
30588Does he think he can sing?"
30588Finally he blurted out his answer:"Will you git out of here?
30588Friends or enemies?
30588Going to chop my leg off?"
30588Got anything else?"
30588Had n''t you ever heard that?"
30588Have you anything more to say to me?"
30588Have you looked to see which way the trail leads from this point, Tad?"
30588How about it, Anvik?"
30588How are you?"
30588How could I help being?
30588How did you ever manage to get into that scrape?"
30588How did you know?"
30588How do you suppose they ever managed to tie it to our ankles without waking us up?"
30588How long have they had the disease?"
30588How old is that buckskin?"
30588How you make sleep fire?"
30588I do n''t hear very well?"
30588I have changed since then, have n''t I?"
30588I wonder if they are going our way?"
30588I--""You are n''t very strong on information, are you?"
30588Is Stacy hurt?"
30588Is n''t it beautiful?"
30588Is n''t that''pop''up there, sir?"
30588Is that it?"
30588Is that the way we go?"
30588Is this a football scrimmage or are you young gentlemen at your meal?"
30588It is something that something else revolves around, is n''t it?
30588Just like being in Chillicothe, is n''t it?"
30588Me smart man, savvy?
30588Nice name, eh?
30588Now, have you got it so that it will hold?"
30588Sandy?"
30588See anything about the remains of the fire that tells you anything?"
30588See this?"
30588Shall I go along?"
30588Shall I pull some more for comparison with those I already have?"
30588Shall we call quits and shake hands?
30588Stacy, are you able to work?"
30588That''s the way to find out what you want to know, is n''t it?"
30588The question is, ought I to tell Mr. Darwood?
30588Up there in the mountains?"
30588Walt, do you remember what a dainty picker you were when we first went out together?"
30588Was that you who kicked the collar of the stack?"
30588We can pitch camp in the village and acquaint our guide with our methods of doing things, Anvik, do you know how to put up tents and make camp?"
30588We do n''t have that kind at home, so what''s the use knowing about it?
30588What are you doing there?"
30588What do you make of it, Anvik?"
30588What do you say, Anvik?"
30588What do you think I am going to do?"
30588What does he think he is, a bird?"
30588What else you see?"
30588What have you done?"
30588What is it that you reckon to say at some other time?"
30588What is it?"
30588What is there to see, Tad?"
30588What time does it get daylight, Professor?"
30588What time is it?"
30588What we do n''t know does n''t hurt us, eh?"
30588What will you do?"
30588What''s it to be?"
30588What''s that, Anvik?"
30588What''s that?"
30588What''s that?"
30588When does a steamer leave Yakutat?"
30588Where are the glasses?"
30588Where is this pass, sir?"
30588Where''s the bath room?
30588Where?"
30588Who do you suppose it could have been?"
30588Who is he, I say?"
30588Who was the other man?"
30588Why did n''t you tie the rope around his neck while you were about it, Tad, and make a thorough job of it?"
30588Why did you do it?"
30588Why should I wish to force myself on anyone who does n''t want to see me?
30588Why?"
30588Will anything here be taken while we are away?"
30588Will you please repeat that?
30588Wonder why big hurry?"
30588Would it be right to carry tales, even in a case like this?"
30588Would n''t it be queer if we were to bump into them somewhere in the interior?"
30588Would n''t that be funny?"
30588Would you, Walt?"
30588You do n''t think I''m going to throw that away, do you?
30588You know Tad had a line tied to it with one end around his wrist so that he would know if an intruder began to interfere with the provisions?"
30588You remember that remark of the skipper''s the other day, do n''t you?"
30588You remember you left Stacy and myself sitting on a bale of freight at the rear end of the boat when you went down late last evening?"
30588You savvy me?"
30588You take um?"
30588_ You_ here?"
30588you mean, am I a horse doctor?
20087A stampede? 20087 Ai n''t the Pinto the original whirlwind, though?"
20087All the bunch got hard boiled ones?
20087And have things to eat?
20087And the opening was near the spring at the point of rocks just above the herd?
20087And were those the fellows that tried to crowd me off the street?
20087And you are to remain out in the open-- in the saddle all summer?
20087Answer that, if you can?
20087Anybody know of any holes that he might drop into?
20087Anything else that you wish us to get?
20087Anything new?
20087Are they so bad as that?
20087Are you Mr. Sanders, from the Miller outfit?
20087Are you hurt?
20087Are you ready for me now?
20087Are you superstitious, too?
20087Are you sure it is n''t Hamilton-- Robert Hamilton?
20087At the camp, you mean?
20087At what time did the trouble occur?
20087Bed them down?
20087Beds?
20087Beg pardon; may I speak with you a moment?
20087Better keep them straight and not try to stop them, had n''t we?
20087Breakfast?
20087But the question is, what are we going to wear?
20087But was she a spook?
20087But where''s the bridge? 20087 Ca n''t a fellow talk about his appetite without being found fault with?"
20087Ca n''t any of you slow pokes get busy and fish him out?
20087Can you make it?
20087Chunky would make a good side hill rider, would n''t he?
20087Chunky? 20087 D- d- does it m- m- make any difference w- w- h- i- ch side you get on?"
20087Dead? 20087 Dew?
20087Di-- did I fall in?
20087Did I hear you say drawing room?
20087Did he kick me?
20087Did they? 20087 Did we leave him behind?"
20087Did you fall in? 20087 Did you get the wagon over?"
20087Did you hear that?
20087Did-- did the colonel say what we were going to have to eat?
20087Do any damage?
20087Do n''t they ever stop to eat?
20087Do n''t think he''s dead, do you?
20087Do n''t you know any more than to try to get onto a broncho from the off side? 20087 Do they ever run?"
20087Do you boys feel like going out on guard to- night?
20087Do you know a cowboy or foreman by that name?
20087Do you need us?
20087Do you see anything?
20087Do you suppose it was Chunky?
20087Do you think Mr. Stallings is worried about the weather?
20087Do you want to stampede the herd again? 20087 Do you want to wake up the whole outfit?
20087Does anyone ever come here?
20087Does he know that you are here?
20087Does it look like it?
20087Does it make any difference?
20087Drawing room?
20087Ever been through a Texas storm?
20087Ever ride one of them, Ned?
20087Find any other doors open or closed?
20087Find him?
20087For what?
20087Got any idea, Tad?
20087Got anything to eat?
20087Have you looked outside?
20087He means where do we sleep?
20087He''s a fellow who''s all the time making trouble, is n''t he?
20087Hear it, Tad? 20087 How about the trouble that the cattle men experience when near the place?"
20087How about when you came out of the river at the end of a cow''s tail this afternoon? 20087 How came that underground passage there?
20087How deep is the water?
20087How does it look to you?
20087How far do we have to ride, Big- foot?
20087How far shall we go?
20087How is Miss Ruth?
20087How long since you had seen him-- was he up there with you?
20087How many cattle do you think have got mixed with ours?
20087How many of them are there in the herd?
20087How shall I know when to come in?
20087How?
20087How?
20087I guess the gopher scored that time, eh?
20087I know; but what do you do?
20087I was going to ask you, sir, where we are going to get our breakfast?
20087I wonder if the noises are getting on the broncho''s nerves, too? 20087 I-- I fell in, did n''t I?"
20087Iron trails?
20087Is Tad hurt?
20087Is anything wrong?
20087Is breakfast ready?
20087Is he dead?
20087Is it near here?
20087Is it the boy-- have they found him?
20087Is it true that there''s spooks in that place?
20087Is the Nueces a large river?
20087Is the gopher going to break one of the bronchos?
20087Is there any cellar beneath the church?
20087Is there any truth in that spook story?
20087Is there nothing we can do toward finding the boy?
20087Is this the way you obey orders? 20087 Knew what?"
20087May I sit up now?
20087Mebby I''m particularly thick to- day, but I''d like to inquire how you expect to get the outfit over, after you have the raft under it?
20087Mr. Stallings, may I cut back some of the Diamond D animals in the mixed herd?
20087Not on the range? 20087 Now how about that spook, Big- foot?"
20087Now will you be good?
20087Oh, you mean the stampede last night?
20087Oh, you mean they would shoot you?
20087Pong, what are you going to give us out of the chuck wagon in the morning?
20087Pong? 20087 Professor, I presume you will have no objection to our accepting Colonel McClure''s invitation?
20087Professor, while the young people are enjoying themselves, suppose you ride over here and spend the afternoon with me? 20087 Run?
20087See them ears? 20087 So that''s their game, is it?"
20087So the Pinto got a dose this time, eh?
20087So you are learning the business, eh? 20087 Something wrong at the camp?"
20087Stallings? 20087 Stampedes?"
20087Sure it is n''t a trick?
20087Sure she ai n''t a spirit?
20087Swim the river with our horses?
20087Tenderfoot, eh?
20087That was too bad, was n''t it?
20087The Pinto? 20087 The boys do n''t carry guns, do they?"
20087The gopher?
20087The ponies started it?
20087The ponies? 20087 The river is near the church you were telling me about, is n''t it?"
20087Then you think we are going to have a storm?
20087Think we can make it, chief?
20087Think we will meet any rustlers?
20087Think you can do it, kid?
20087Think you can make it?
20087Think you can stand it?
20087Think you could do it better, hey?
20087Want me to tell Professor Zepplin?
20087We did it, did n''t we, Big- foot?
20087Well, kid, what about it?
20087Well, what do you think?
20087Well, what next?
20087Well, you made a nice mess of it, did n''t you?
20087Well, young man, what are you doing here?
20087Well, young man, what have you to say for yourself?
20087Wh-- where is he?
20087Wh-- where?
20087Wha-- what is it?
20087What about him?
20087What about what?
20087What are those steers on the outside there-- those fellows without any horns?
20087What are you going to do about the drift?
20087What did he say?
20087What do we do when it rains?
20087What do you make of it, Big- foot?
20087What do you mean?
20087What do you think about this business?
20087What do you think started the cattle this time?
20087What do you think?
20087What do you want?
20087What does this mean?
20087What for-- to lay ghosts with?
20087What for?
20087What is it this time?
20087What is it, a stampede?
20087What is it?
20087What is it?
20087What is it?
20087What is it?
20087What is it?
20087What is your usual method?
20087What shall we do?
20087What shall we do?
20087What time shall we arrange to start, auntie?
20087What''d you wake me up for?
20087What''s a slicker?
20087What''s it all about? 20087 What''s that the steer is dragging?"
20087What''s that ye say?
20087What''s that?
20087What''s that?
20087What''s the matter, Pong?
20087What''s the noise?
20087What''s the trouble-- did the boy rope him?
20087What''s the trouble?
20087What''s up now?
20087What''s up?
20087What, teach a cowboy?
20087What-- what do you think it was?
20087What-- what happened?
20087What? 20087 What?
20087What?
20087When do we join them?
20087When do you expect to reach the Nueces River?
20087When shall we be near there?
20087Where are the Springs?
20087Where are they?
20087Where are you going?
20087Where are your beds?
20087Where you been, gopher?
20087Where you going to get timber around these parts?
20087Where''s Lumpy?
20087Where''s that bunch of tenderfeet?
20087Where''s the Pinto?
20087Where''s the gopher?
20087Where''s their beds?
20087Where? 20087 Where?"
20087Where?
20087Where?
20087Where?
20087Where?
20087Where?
20087Whereabouts?
20087Which way did he go?
20087Who is missing?
20087Who is she?
20087Who is the wrangler this morning?
20087Who is your foreman?
20087Who said anything about a haunted church?
20087Who were the rustlers?
20087Who''s the gopher over there?
20087Who''s there?
20087Who?
20087Why do you want a black strap for breakfast?
20087Why go?
20087Why not? 20087 Why not?"
20087Why not?
20087Why, where is Master Stacy?
20087Why?
20087Why?
20087Will wonders never cease? 20087 Will you young men do me a favor?"
20087Will-- will you ever be able to separate them?
20087With the Miller outfit?
20087Wo n''t you come up to the house with me, while your man talks horse with my foreman?
20087Wrangler? 20087 Yes, I understand; but did you have any idea why the cattle stampeded?"
20087Yes, but what about the herd?
20087Yes?
20087Yes?
20087Yes?
20087Yes?
20087You fell in, did n''t you?
20087You mean you found an underground passage at the bottom of the old well? 20087 You one of the bunch?"
20087You say Ruth is bad again to- day, Margaret?
20087You take the fourth guard? 20087 You think this is some kind of a joke, eh?"
20087You-- you are going to leave him here?
20087You-- you do n''t reckon he''s with that other bunch, do you?
20087You-- you think he is here, then?
20087A church?"
20087A cowpuncher who has n''t had a wink in more than two days?
20087After it has been raining a little while a fellow ca n''t get any wetter, so what''s the odds?"
20087Ai n''t he a sight?"
20087All the cows back?"
20087And, by the way, you boys have n''t made the acquaintance of Pong, have you?
20087Are you going through with them?"
20087Are you thinking of fording it this morning?"
20087Bates?"
20087But what is it all about?"
20087But, if so, how can they tell one from the other?"
20087Butler?"
20087Call this dew?
20087Can you hold your side?"
20087Did n''t I tell you that I''d''fire''you if you got into any trouble in town to- day?"
20087Did the white steer kick you?"
20087Did they get away, too?"
20087Did you bring that lantern?"
20087Did you ever ride a bucker?"
20087Did you lose any stock?"
20087Do all of you swim?"
20087Do n''t you hear?"
20087Do n''t you see the kid''s near all in?
20087Do n''t you think that must mean that a lot of cattle who do n''t belong there have mixed up with ours?"
20087Do you want to kill somebody?"
20087Does n''t look very promising, does it?"
20087Ever been on a trail before?"
20087Feel bad anywhere, now?"
20087First place, we are not yet in the country where they can work profitably----""Where''s that?"
20087Getting weak in the knees?"
20087Got your rope?"
20087Got your spurs on?"
20087Has n''t he come in yet?"
20087Have anything to eat down there?"
20087Have n''t they bedded down yet?"
20087Have n''t you had anything to drink?"
20087Have n''t you, Big- foot?"
20087Have we got to leave them here?"
20087Have we time to stop this morning?"
20087Have you boys brought your slickers with, you?"
20087How are you?"
20087How did you all sleep?"
20087How did you happen to lead the cattle straight ahead, instead of turning the leaders?"
20087How long do you expect to remain with the herd?
20087I do n''t see any?"
20087I presume you are aching to know what all this mystery means?"
20087I''ve wanted to see one all my life----""What?
20087I----""Have n''t done anything?"
20087Is he all right?"
20087Is he always falling into trouble that way?"
20087Is he going to play blind man''s buff?"
20087Is it Chunky?
20087Is that it?"
20087Is that where you expect to get the other herd of cattle as well?"
20087Is there anything you want to say to me now?"
20087Is this the way they celebrate it down here?"
20087It happened so quick----""What time?"
20087Just like war time, is n''t it?"
20087Of all the idiotic-- oh, what''s the use?
20087Professor, do you wish the boys to take their turns on the herd to- night?"
20087Professor?"
20087Ruth, why ca n''t you and the girls take the young men over there to- morrow if the day is fine?
20087Sanders?"
20087Say, do n''t you?"
20087So where is he?
20087Stallings?"
20087Stallings?"
20087Stallings?"
20087Stallings?"
20087Stallings?"
20087Stallings?"
20087Stallings?"
20087Still think you can break one of them in?"
20087That''s so, where is he?"
20087The Pony Rider Boys in Texas CHAPTER I IN THE LAND OF THE COWBOY"What''s that?"
20087The next question is, where am I?
20087The question is, where is he?"
20087They would n''t desert the herd, would they?"
20087Think you could have been any more wet?"
20087Think you''ll be able to ride in the trail wagon?
20087Trying to drown yourself?"
20087We might as well have it now, though there''s nothing of enough consequence to have a quarrel about----""You threaten me?"
20087What about the new ponies?"
20087What ails you, Big- foot?
20087What are they doing?"
20087What are you doing here, anyway?
20087What do you mean?"
20087What do you mean?"
20087What do you think?"
20087What happened to that pony?"
20087What sort of recommend do you suppose Boss Miller will give you when I tell him I found you trying to shoot up a kid?"
20087What was she doing-- how did it happen?"
20087What was that?"
20087What''s a wrangler?"
20087What''s it for?"
20087What''s that up there?"
20087What''s that?"
20087Where did those cattle come from?"
20087Where did you say Mr. Stallings was, Big- foot?"
20087Where do you think you are?"
20087Where else could he be?
20087Where have I heard that name before?"
20087Where is the camp?"
20087Whether or not she caused these intentionally, Ruth does not know----""And that is the mystery?"
20087Who''s he?"
20087Why not?"
20087Will you shake hands and forget your bad temper?"
20087Wo n''t you be seated?"
20087You all right?"
20087You are going in for the ten- thirty trick, are you not?"
20087You will find no luxuries, but lots of hard work on a cattle drive, young men----""Do-- do we get plenty to eat?"
20087You will, wo n''t you, Professor?"
20087You would n''t have me be a coward, would you?"
20087You''ll come out and have supper with us?"
6067A man tied to a horse? 6067 A stone?"
6067A-- a bob- cat?
6067And did n''t I ride a broncho that never had had a saddle on his back but once in his life? 6067 And he did n''t tell anyoue where the Claim was?"
6067And how about you, Master Stacy?
6067And perhaps you may be able to tell us, also, where we may hope to find game?
6067And that?
6067And we can take them with us?
6067And you still want a pony, do you, my son?
6067And you will know what he means?
6067And, by the way, are you sure you are right about this business, Walt?
6067Any boy with those two things would n''t change places with a king, would he, fellows?
6067Are the dogs dead?
6067Are the dogs ready?
6067Are there bears up here?
6067Are we going to explore them?
6067Are you all safe down there, Tad?
6067Are you going to keep me in this suspense all night?
6067Are you hurt?
6067Are you hurt?
6067Are you ready?
6067Are you sure it is fools''gold, Professor?
6067Are-- are bob- cats good to eat?
6067Are-- are they for us-- for us to use?
6067Bear cubs? 6067 Bears, did you say?"
6067Been away, Ben?
6067But Tad?
6067But do n''t hit him, will you?
6067But why should they wish to harm me? 6067 But you did not?"
6067But, I guess he''s about right, eh, Walter? 6067 But, what happened then?
6067But, what kind of a club? 6067 Call that a bed?"
6067Can I get a horse anywhere around here?
6067Chunky''s uncle is going to get him a pony?
6067Club? 6067 D-- do-- down in that dark place?
6067Did n''t I tell you I''d show you the biggest thing you ever saw in your life?
6067Did not go with you? 6067 Did you ever try to find the Lost Claim?"
6067Did you notice that everything in the Professor''s tent had been fairly turned inside out? 6067 Did you tell him what ailed Jinny?"
6067Do n''t you distinguish a difference in the tone of one of the dogs''bark?
6067Do n''t you know Tad''s gone? 6067 Do n''t you know you are standing on the very edge of the jumping- off place?
6067Do you know what lies there, less than ten rods away?
6067Do you know where that long package marked''hard tack''is, Jose?
6067Do you think we are going to desert you and leave you here, perhaps to be killed?
6067Do you think we ever shall find them?
6067Do you think you would like to go with the boys on their jaunt this summer?
6067Do you want to sell Jinny?
6067Do? 6067 Father did n''t care so much about them, did he?"
6067Fix them so they ca n''t get away?
6067Followed us? 6067 Gold?
6067Got any charges left in your magazines?
6067Got any sugar, Walter?
6067Got hold of who?
6067Got what?
6067Got who?
6067Got your life insured?
6067Hang him? 6067 Has-- he--- gone?"
6067Have we any lunch with us?
6067Honey? 6067 How are we going to hunt?
6067How far is it to Chillicothe, kid?
6067How long would it take you to make the trip there and back?
6067How much do you think you could get for her?
6067How much will you charge?
6067How much?
6067How old is Jinny?
6067How soon can you start?
6067How''d you get it?
6067How''s everything?
6067How''s the boy?
6067How?
6067I said, do you want to sell your horse?
6067I say, will ye git?
6067I take it you would be very happy to be able to join them on their outings?
6067I wonder if it is gold?
6067I wonder where the guide is?
6067I? 6067 I?
6067If I thought you would n''t fall off----"I fall off?
6067If we could catch a live bob- cat to go with them, would n''t that be great?
6067Is Tad Butler going on that old skate of his?
6067Is it old Jinny that you are speaking of, if I may ask?
6067Is this more fools''gold?
6067Is this the end of the cave?
6067Is-- is he dead?
6067Jam?
6067Know what they are?
6067Make an offer?
6067Makes a fellow feel as if he were walking on air, does n''t it?
6067May I come in?
6067Mean to tell me you do n''t want a pony like this?
6067My-- my-- mine?
6067Need a comb, do n''t I?
6067No; do you want to kill the dogs?
6067Not much of a breakfast, is it, Jimmie? 6067 Nothing, except go down and pick him up----""But how?"
6067Nothing? 6067 Now, what are we going to do, I''d like to know?"
6067Off?
6067Oh, you saw me, did you? 6067 One for each of us?
6067Ponies? 6067 School?
6067See anything?
6067Shall we haul up?
6067Shall we help ourselves?
6067Shall we see any of them?
6067Shall we take our guns?
6067Splendid, is it not?
6067Suppose we start with a race? 6067 Sure of what?"
6067That''s all right, but where are we going to find any officers?
6067The dogs?
6067The man is a thief, you say, Thomas?
6067The next question is, whom shall we have for president of the club?
6067The penalty-- the penalty? 6067 Then it was a real gold mine?"
6067Then what are we going to do? 6067 Then what do you say to our riding out and back with him, Walt?"
6067Then, to what penalty do you refer?
6067Then, why not ask your uncle to get one for you? 6067 Then, will you write on a piece of paper that the mare is sold to me, and that I am to clean out the store every morning in payment for her?"
6067They have no flesh on them at all, to speak of, now----"Will they bite?
6067Thinking about what?
6067To bed? 6067 Trouble?"
6067Want to sell it?
6067Warm, is n''t?
6067Was that you shooting just now?
6067We have not tried to make any like them yet----"Beds? 6067 We will call this our shooting day, eh, Thomas?"
6067We''ll be real Indians now, wo n''t we?
6067Well, now that you have her, what do you mean to do with her?
6067Well, what do you think of that?
6067Well, young man, how do you feel?
6067Well?
6067Wh-- wha-- what do you find?
6067Wh-- what can we do?
6067Wh-- where am I?
6067Wha-- what is it-- bears?
6067Wha-- what is it?
6067What I want to know, is, when do we go hunting?
6067What about the ponies?
6067What are they after?
6067What are they doing?
6067What are you going to do when you get back, Tad?
6067What are you going to do with her?
6067What are you grinning at, you young ape?
6067What are you looking for? 6067 What did you wake me up for?"
6067What do they do with them?
6067What do you advise doing with her?
6067What do you propose to do with that fellow over there, guide?
6067What do you reckon on shooting?
6067What do you say, Professor?
6067What do you think about it, Chunky?
6067What do you think about it, Lige?
6067What do you think has happened to him?
6067What do you think we had better do, sir?
6067What does this mean?
6067What for?
6067What for?
6067What good are they when we have real rifles?
6067What happened then?
6067What happened to him finally?
6067What have you discovered?
6067What have you got?
6067What is it? 6067 What is it?"
6067What is it?
6067What is it?
6067What is it?
6067What is it?
6067What is the first thing this morning?
6067What is the meaning of all this disturbance? 6067 What is the nearest railroad station to this place?"
6067What is the pleasure of the meeting?
6067What made you ask that question, Mother?
6067What shall we call it? 6067 What shall we do with him now?"
6067What time is it?
6067What will you take for Jinny?
6067What you going to do?
6067What you got there, a skeleton?
6067What''ll you give?
6067What''s it all about?
6067What''s that for?
6067What''s that, younker? 6067 What''s that?
6067What''s that?
6067What''s that?
6067What''s that?
6067What''s that?
6067What''s that?
6067What''s the Lost Claim?
6067What''s the matter with Chunky?
6067What''s the matter with having Tad Butler for president? 6067 What''s the row?"
6067What''s the trouble with her?
6067What''s this? 6067 What''s this?
6067What''s your hurry, sir?
6067What?
6067What?
6067What?
6067When do we go?
6067Where are they?
6067Where are you, Tad?
6067Where are you?
6067Where is Walt? 6067 Where is he?"
6067Where is that pack train? 6067 Where-- is-- he?"
6067Where?
6067Which foot is he lame in?
6067Which way did you see him go, Professor?
6067While we run away?
6067Who of you can pick up a hat on the run?
6067Who''s no tenderfoot?
6067Who, Tad?
6067Whose ponies are they?
6067Why ca n''t we skin the cat?
6067Why ca n''t you go?
6067Why do n''t you move the pony? 6067 Why do n''t you?"
6067Why do you ask that? 6067 Why do you think that?"
6067Why does n''t he say something?
6067Why not go on by moonlight? 6067 Why not show us, then?"
6067Why not, my boy?
6067Why, do n''t you see? 6067 Why, what could you do with an old, broken- down animal like that?"
6067Will they bite?
6067Will you let me go out with my rifle to look for some game for breakfast? 6067 Will-- will there be bears and things there?"
6067Wish you had him, do n''t you?
6067Would n''t he do it?
6067Yes, Tad; what is it?
6067Yes, but what are we going to do about Tad?
6067Yes, but what are you going to do? 6067 Yes, but what shall I do?"
6067Yes, sir?
6067Yes-- but-- but you, Mother?
6067Yes; but what are we going to do?
6067Yes? 6067 Yes?"
6067Yes?
6067Yes?
6067Yet, how is he going to get one? 6067 You did n''t?
6067You do n''t mean it?
6067You say the old mare is unfit for further service, Jim?
6067You surely did n''t expect to go hunting without guns, did you? 6067 You-- you do n''t suppose it was one of them who threw the stone at me, do you?"
6067You? 6067 And snakes?
6067And you want to know where you are going?"
6067And you wished my son to say nothing about it?"
6067And, if anyoue did, why should he adopt such a peculiar way of attack?
6067Any danger of that cougar jumping down on me here?"
6067Are n''t you going to stop to tali with a fellow?"
6067Are you all right?"
6067Are you willing, fellows?"
6067Believe me, I did----""Pinked him?"
6067But I got him, did n''t I, Professor?"
6067But did your father say he would get Tad a pony?"
6067But it would n''t be half so funny if a fellow made a mistake and got a branch off a thorn bush; would it, now?"
6067But what are you getting at, Walt?"
6067But, how are we going to get them to camp?"
6067But, if he went that way, he did n''t follow you?"
6067CHAPTER X THE LOSS OF THE PACK TRAIN"Feels good to be in the saddle again, does n''t it, Walt?"
6067Ca n''t he talk, Thomas?"
6067Can you make it out?"
6067Can you slip it over your shoulders and under your arms?"
6067Can you steer the car enough to keep it in the road, do you think?"
6067D''ye hear?"
6067Did he agree?"
6067Did he bite me?"
6067Did he go hack to bed?"
6067Did n''t you find it?"
6067Did you know that?"
6067Do n''t you hear them?"
6067Do you happen to know where there are any ponies for sale at this moment?"
6067Do you know of any place where there is real gold in this part of the Rockies?"
6067Do you know,"continued Walter after a moment of silence,"I never told my father that Tad did that for me?"
6067Do you want to spoil our fun?"
6067Does my uncle know about Tad''s old mare?"
6067Dogs climb trees?"
6067Eh, Tad?"
6067Fine to have a doctor like that, is n''t it?"
6067Got anything to suggest?"
6067Got him?"
6067Got that cat skin ye was talking about?"
6067Hang him?
6067Has any of you ever handled a gun before?"
6067Have you seen Mr. Perkins to- day?"
6067He did n''t say so to me, but I overheard him telling father that I was liable to have consumption, if I did not----""You do n''t mean it?"
6067Hear him squall?"
6067Here?"
6067How can you suggest such a thing?
6067How do you feel, Chunky?"
6067How''s the new pony, Chunky?
6067I ca n''t think of any other name, can you?"
6067I came near losing my life too, and----""A cave?"
6067I do n''t see anything very fetching about Tad, do you?
6067I guess you''ll all agree that it belongs to Tad Butler?"
6067I remember when I was an officer in the German army----""Professor, may we go out and follow the trail of Chunky''s pussy cat?"
6067I should think they might have located it in that way?"
6067I suppose you know what they do with hoss thieves in this country, do n''t you?"
6067I tell you, it''s mighty tough----""Yes?"
6067I-- I-- what is it you wish me to do with the pony?"
6067I----""Why do you ask, Tad?"
6067Is it possible?"
6067Is n''t he a beauty?"
6067Is this the first time you have presided at a meeting?"
6067It was just after I had lost my tent----""Over that way?"
6067It would make a man very rich, would it not?"
6067Jose bring me a box of those thirty- eights, will you?"
6067Looks like it, does n''t it?"
6067Mebby you think he''s having some sort of a picnic down there, eh?"
6067More bear?"
6067Mr. Chairman, will you please take the chair and call this meeting to order?"
6067Now, would n''t that be great?"
6067Say, Chunky, remember the time when the men from Texas had those ponies here-- brought them here to sell?"
6067Say, did I get thrown then?"
6067Suppose we ask him?
6067Tackers?"
6067The intelligent animals, after sniffing attentively at the articles, looked up at the guide as much as if to say:"Well, what about it?"
6067Then you told him?
6067They wo n''t be so fast to----""See here, Tad Butler, what do you take us for?"
6067Thomas?"
6067Thomas?"
6067Thomas?"
6067Thomas?"
6067Was he dreaming?
6067Was that some more fools''gold you picked up back there?"
6067We''re not going to shoot the ponies, are we?"
6067What are we going to do, Professor?"
6067What are we going to do, Thomas-- how are we to rescue the boy?"
6067What are you going to do?"
6067What are you trying to do?
6067What breed of tenderfoot do you think we belong to?"
6067What did he say?"
6067What did you give for him?"
6067What do you mean by running away from me like this?"
6067What do you say, Tad?"
6067What do you say, fellows?"
6067What do you think of it?"
6067What do you think of that?"
6067What do you think of that?"
6067What do you think we elected you for?
6067What does that mean?"
6067What does this whirlwind arrival mean?"
6067What for?
6067What has been your experience, may I ask?"
6067What has that to do with Walter?"
6067What is it?"
6067What is on your mind?"
6067What is the meaning of this, sir?"
6067What is your pleasure, gentlemen?''"
6067What kind of a club?"
6067What kind?"
6067What would I do with it, if I had it?
6067What''ll you give me to pull you in?"
6067What''s this?"
6067When will you return?"
6067Where are we going?"
6067Where are you?"
6067Where did you find the second piece?"
6067Where did you get her?"
6067Where did your father say we were to ride to?
6067Where is it that you think you see bushes?"
6067Where is it?"
6067Where''s my rifle?"
6067Where?"
6067Who wants to buy her?"
6067Who would ever think of finding a cat up here?"
6067Who''ll go into the cave with me?"
6067Why does n''t he fall off?"
6067Why not?"
6067Why, Mr. Thomas, where did you get honey?"
6067Why?"
6067Why?"
6067Will it be all right for me to swing myself?"
6067Will you be the chairman, Ned?"
6067Will you let me turn Jinny in the clover patch there, mother?
6067Will you stay, Ned?"
6067Will you take us over to explore it, in the morning, Mr. Thomas?
6067Wo n''t the boys go wild when they see them?
6067Would he ever have as much as that?
6067You can not mean that Walter has come to any real harm?
6067You do n''t want to go back, do you?"
6067You refer to imprisonment, of course?"
6067You surely do n''t intend to remain here?"
6067You understand that, do n''t you, Tad?"
6067You will understand me, wo n''t you?
6068''Bout what?
6068All right?
6068And now what are your plans, young men?
6068And you have decided----?
6068Any Indians?
6068Any further instructions?
6068Anything develop?
6068Are n''t you?
6068Are the provisions all in there?
6068Are we getting near the place?
6068Are you all right down there?
6068Are you on your feet back there?
6068Are you the Pony Rider Boys?
6068Are you there, Tad?
6068Blackfeet? 6068 But wo n''t the foreman corral the sheep?"
6068By the way, where''s your chum?
6068By what right?
6068Cattle, of course?
6068Cattle?
6068Cavanagh, what does this mean?
6068Come on, what are you waiting for?
6068Come over here and take a sniff at this kettle?
6068Dare?
6068Di-- did you win the race?
6068Did he take his pony with him?
6068Did he throw you?
6068Did n''t he come in?
6068Did n''t you use the spider?
6068Did not Master Stacy come in with you, Ned?
6068Did what?
6068Did ye mean that fer me?
6068Do n''t know any such man, do you, Luke?
6068Do n''t you know anything about the boys yourself?
6068Do we take our ponies?
6068Do you cook them with the wool on?
6068Do you suppose I could find him?
6068Do you think they would dare do a thing like that?
6068Do you think we shall have any trouble tonight?
6068Do you understand that?
6068Do you want to kill the bronchs? 6068 Do-- do-- you think he has been killed?"
6068Does he butt?
6068Fight? 6068 Given it up?
6068Going to hang yerself?
6068Got a rope?
6068Got any guns?
6068Guess the kid ai n''t no slouch, eh, Jim?
6068Has he- ha- ha- has he gone?
6068Has it been?
6068Have you any suggestions, Mr. Simms? 6068 Have you anyone that you could send to Forsythe at once with an urgent message for your husband?"
6068Have you heard anything new?
6068He was with you last night?
6068Heard anything from the herd?
6068Hello, is this your son, Philip?
6068Hello, what do you want?
6068Hello, what''s that? 6068 Hi there, hang you, where you heading?"
6068Hicks? 6068 How about your own country''s flag?"
6068How are we ever going to find our way about to- night?
6068How does he know?
6068How far is it from where we are bound?
6068How far is it to the-- the----"Corners? 6068 How many of''em?"
6068How many?
6068How many?
6068How old is he?
6068How''s mutton to- day?
6068Hurt you any?
6068I did n''t fall in that time, did I? 6068 I did n''t fall in that time, did I?"
6068I fell in, did n''t I?
6068I forgot to tell you that there''ll be three or four Crow braves with us on the raid as well as half a dozen Blackfeet?
6068I want to know who threw that rope? 6068 I was rubbing my eyes and trying to make up my mind where I was when-- when----""When what?"
6068I wonder if the others heard that, too? 6068 I wonder what he brought me here for and I wonder when I am going to get something to eat?
6068I wonder who it is? 6068 I''ll bet that''s Boss Simms''s kid-- the pale- faced dude, eh?"
6068I-- I fell in, did n''t I?
6068If you ca n''t shoot them you''re going to rope them, eh?
6068In a hurry, ai n''t ye?
6068In the fire?
6068Indians? 6068 Indians?"
6068Is Chunky able to help himself?
6068Is he saddle broken?
6068Is his family at the ranch?
6068Is it possible? 6068 Is it possible?"
6068Is it so serious as that?
6068Is that not rather a personal question?
6068Is there any game in these hills?
6068It takes more than a bath in a cold creek to lay us up, eh, Tad?
6068Jinny, what are they going to do with me, do you know?
6068Kin ye do that to me?
6068Let me see, how far is it?
6068Like them-- like mutton?
6068Lose many sheep?
6068Lost?
6068Now what d''ye want me ter do?
6068Now, what is it?
6068Now, will you let me go, Professor?
6068O Tad, is that you?
6068Off the reservation again, eh? 6068 Off whom?"
6068Oh, he did, eh? 6068 On a herd?"
6068Paleface want eat?
6068Phil gone?
6068Phil? 6068 Pink- eye, do you think you can make that climb?"
6068Pretty good for a tenderfoot, eh?
6068Professor, are you up there?
6068Say where he come from?
6068Say, what ails you?
6068Say, young man, did you see anything at all, except what your imagination furnished?
6068See here, where are you taking me to?
6068Seems good to be in the saddle once more, does n''t it?
6068Smells fine, does n''t it?
6068So I''m a buck, am I? 6068 So that''s his name?
6068So that''s the game is it?
6068So that''s the way you keep watch over our herd is it?
6068So you think this is a tenderfoot yarn, eh?
6068Spider? 6068 Stiffened up, eh?
6068Stranger in these parts, I reckon?
6068Suppose you put it into his head proper like to do something?
6068Sure about him, are you?
6068Sure?
6068Tell me about it, please?
6068Tell me about it?
6068That''s so, where is he?
6068That''s what I should like to know? 6068 The question is, which way shall I go?
6068The roan-- you say you rode the roan?
6068Then what can we do?
6068Then why did you tell us you did?
6068Then why did you?
6068Then, d''ye mean to say that we ai n''t, ye miserable cayuse?
6068Then, what are we going to do?
6068Then, will you please make me some sandwiches? 6068 They got you too, did they?
6068They were planning to attack the herd, to stampede it and kill all the animals they could----"Is it possible?
6068Think so, Noisy?
6068Think you can kill him with that?
6068This morning?
6068To know whether you had heard any of the boys say anything that might lead you to believe they knew anything about the matter?
6068Want it, Jinny?
6068Want us to start now?
6068Was-- was anybody killed?
6068Well, how do you like being a sheepman?
6068Well, what do you think, Cap?
6068Wh-- who kicked me?
6068Wha-- wha-- cook Indians? 6068 Wha-- what is it?"
6068What I came over here to ask was whether you boys were intending to take your turns at herding for the next few nights?
6068What about the Indians?
6068What are the plans for to- day?
6068What did you do to it to give it that peculiar shade, young man?
6068What did you say, then?
6068What did you see?
6068What did you tell us the cowmen were after us for?
6068What do you mean?
6068What do you mean?
6068What do you think he''ll do?
6068What do you want of me?
6068What do you want?
6068What do you wish us to do?
6068What does this mean? 6068 What for?
6068What for?
6068What is it, a lion?
6068What is it, boy? 6068 What is it?
6068What is it?
6068What is it?
6068What is this you say?
6068What kind of hitch do you call this, anyway?
6068What kind of sheep is that over there?
6068What kind?
6068What means all this disturbance, young gentlemen?
6068What tribe is this?
6068What''s he yelling about?
6068What''s his name?
6068What''s that racket over there in the bushes?
6068What''s that?
6068What''s the matter-- are they afraid?
6068What''s the matter?
6068What''s the plan, Bluff?
6068What''s this?
6068What''s your name?
6068What, the man with the scar?
6068What?
6068What?
6068When did he-- how long has he been here?
6068When do they expect the herd?
6068When do you wish us to join you?
6068When is the thing coming off?
6068When somebody said,''How?''
6068When?
6068Where are the boys-- Ned and the rest of them?
6068Where are the sheep?
6068Where are they?
6068Where are we going to be?
6068Where are your companions?
6068Where did you get that hat?
6068Where is he? 6068 Where is he?"
6068Where is it?
6068Where is it?
6068Where''d you get that pony?
6068Where''d your hear that?
6068Where''s Tad?
6068Where''s that boy who sent us off on this fool chase?
6068Where''s that boy?
6068Where''s the boss? 6068 Where''s the flag?
6068Where''s the town?
6068Where, down in the Black Hills?
6068Where, where?
6068Where-- where is he?
6068Where? 6068 Where?"
6068While waiting for the foreman, tell me about how it all happened?
6068Who are you? 6068 Who are you?"
6068Who is he?
6068Who is he?
6068Who kicked him?
6068Who told him?
6068Who''s getting into trouble now?
6068Who''s he?
6068Who''s that?
6068Who''s there?
6068Who, me?
6068Whom do you mean?
6068Why ca n''t you? 6068 Why did n''t you get out of it?
6068Why? 6068 Will you be out?"
6068Will you please tell me what did happen then, when you started us away?
6068Wo n''t Mr. Simms be surprised?
6068Ye mean me?
6068Yer see I''m willing?
6068Yes, kin you rope him?
6068Yes, what has happened to it? 6068 Yes; but what of the others?
6068Yes; what is it?
6068Yes?
6068You do n''t mean it?
6068You do n''t think they''ll suspect you-- that they''ll be wise to what the game is?
6068You know?
6068You mean we are not to speak?
6068You send Jinny ring?
6068You send beads like white women wear?
6068You think then-- you believe they have not given up their plan of attacking the sheep?
6068Anybody near me?"
6068Anybody with you?"
6068Are you sure?
6068Are you swimming?"
6068But what could he, single- handed and unarmed, expect to do to stop the ruthless slaughter?
6068But what of the pressure on his chest?
6068But where is that pony?"
6068But where was Ned?
6068CHAPTER V THE PURSUIT OF THE BURNING BEAR"What is it?"
6068CHAPTER VIII INTO THE ENEMY''S CAMP"Has Simms been warned that he''d better keep them out of this here territory?"
6068Ca n''t you see how the miserable creature is suffering?"
6068Can he shoot?"
6068Can you find the way?"
6068Can you recommend us to a ranch where we can fit ourselves out?
6068Captured by the Indians, eh?
6068Chief, when are you going to let me go away from here?
6068Did anybody know the fellow you roped?"
6068Did you cook it?"
6068Did you ever hear of our skipping a meal when we could get it?"
6068Did you ever see this before?"
6068Did you hear anybody besides this man?"
6068Do n''t you see him?
6068Do n''t you think so, Ned?"
6068Do n''t you understand?"
6068Do you cook Indians?"
6068Do you follow me?"
6068Do you mind?"
6068Do you plan on going back with the guide that we get for you?"
6068Do you see him?"
6068Do you see him?"
6068Do you see him?"
6068Do you understand?"
6068Do you want to join me?"
6068Do you?"
6068Ever hear of it before?"
6068Fine night for a raid of any kind, is n''t it?"
6068Got a rope?"
6068Have you looked in his tent?"
6068Have you seen him?"
6068Have you your own ponies?"
6068He had a close call"----"Was he shot?"
6068How do you expect I cooked it?"
6068How is Philip this evening?"
6068How would you boys like to join the outfit and go through with them?
6068How''d you like to be over there where those guns are going off?
6068How''s the kid?"
6068I can get a fresh pony to come back with, and if I do not return with the guide, what difference does it make?
6068I guess you and I can handle this outfit, ca n''t we, Barker?"
6068I must be getting back to the ranch if this is in the wind?"
6068I presume you will continue your watch over the herd to- night?"
6068I suppose the guide found you?"
6068I--""You send Jinny beads?"
6068Is Stacy with you?"
6068Is he hurt?
6068Is it anywhere near here?"
6068Is it?"
6068Is-- is it time to go out?"
6068Know anything of it?"
6068May we go gunning to- morrow?"
6068Never saw me before, did you?"
6068Now which way shall we go?"
6068Of course, if you young gentlemen are not hungry we can skip the noon----""Not hungry?
6068Old Hicks fell into the mutton broth, did n''t he?"
6068Perhaps your courage over at the Corners may scare them off, eh?
6068Phil, have you packed up your things?"
6068Say, what will the chief do if he finds it out?"
6068See any Indians last night?"
6068Simms?"
6068So you can talk English just a little bit?
6068Somebody yelled,''where are they?''
6068Suppose you have no idea where it was that these men found you, or where you found them?"
6068Tell me you were n''t tickling my neck?
6068Tell them that it''ll be mighty poor picking for the cows and so on until you get''em good and properly mad----""Yes, what then?"
6068The next question is how am I going to get him back to camp?"
6068The question that remained for him to decide, was who was it that had started the fire?
6068Then where?"
6068There he is?"
6068Think he heard us?"
6068To put out the bear?"
6068Understand?"
6068Want to go along?"
6068Were any of the cowmen killed?"
6068Were you with the show that was in Chillicothe last summer?
6068What are them redskins doing down here, off the reservation?"
6068What are you standing there like a lot of dumbheads for?"
6068What can I be thinking of?"
6068What did they say?"
6068What do you mean prowling around this time of the night?"
6068What do you mean?"
6068What do you say to the sheep idea?"
6068What do you suppose is making it hump up in the middle, if he is n''t there?
6068What do you take me for?"
6068What happened to him?"
6068What is it you wish?"
6068What is it, mutton?"
6068What is it?
6068What kind of hitch is a squaw hitch?"
6068What mattered it whether they could hear him or not?
6068What shall we do?"
6068What you doing here?''
6068What you suppose I joined for?"
6068What''s that light?"
6068What''s the use?
6068What''s your plan, Luke?"
6068When do you expect the sheep?"
6068When do you plan to start?"
6068Where are you going next?"
6068Where are you taking me to?"
6068Where did you come from?"
6068Where did you hear that fairy story, young man?"
6068Where did you see them?"
6068Where is Professor-- Professor----""Zepplin?"
6068Where is Stacy?"
6068Where is he?"
6068Where is he?"
6068Where''d you come from?"
6068Who do you want us to see?"
6068Why ca n''t you?"
6068Why did n''t you try it on Luke Lame when he was over here?"
6068Why do n''t you do something?"
6068Why do n''t you get a railroad guide?
6068Why not let me ride back to Forsythe?
6068Why would that not be the idea, Professor?
6068Why?"
6068You back so soon?
6068You do n''t suppose he and Phil are together, do you?"
6068You do not want to lose your herd, do you?"
6068You had no means of knowing-- didn''t hear what his name was, did you?"
6068You know the signal?"
6068You say there''s another paleface boy here in this village?"
6068You say you have been lost?"
6068You sure that''s all he said?"
6068You''ll find all the mountains you want and some that you will not want----""Any Indians?"
6068You''ll know how to work it?"
6068You''ve no doubt heard of a bell wether?"
45507''Gators? 45507 A bear?"
45507A deer?
45507A lake?
45507Ah, Mr. Lilly, are there any other varieties of wild beasts down here that we have n''t met up with? 45507 And pray, why not?"
45507And what do you reckon to do now?
45507And what do you think I''ll be doing while you- all are taking my doe away?
45507And you know all about that deer over yonder behind the down cypress?
45507And you will keep away from Bill Lilly and not try to take revenge on him?
45507Any choice as to position?
45507Any of you boys put cane on the fire?
45507Are there deer here?
45507Are they ugly?
45507Are you able to ride?
45507Are you going to dinner in that rig?
45507Are you going to help me down?
45507Are you hurt, Chunky?
45507Are you hurt? 45507 Are you hurt?"
45507Are you satisfied?
45507Are you speaking of your nose or the trail?
45507Are you trying to roil me, Stacy Brown? 45507 Boys, are you all right?"
45507Boys, what do you say to going over to the Major''s home and giving the ladies an exhibition of rough- riding?
45507But do n''t you think it is time we were getting back? 45507 But what are those peculiar formations that I see all about us?"
45507But what was his motive?
45507But where is the canebrake?
45507But you seem mighty interested?
45507But, but, what happened to you?
45507But-- but, who shot? 45507 By the way, are there any other hunters in this vicinity now?"
45507By the way, are they all drowned out?
45507Ca n''t I please you folks at all?
45507Ca n''t you guess?
45507Ca n''t you take my word for it?
45507Came back to see how well his little scheme worked? 45507 Can I shoot?
45507Chunky, do n''t you-- don''t you see what it is?
45507Chunky, will you be good enough to wind the horn?
45507Chunky,yelled Tad,"ca n''t you use your rifle without hitting the dogs?"
45507Did de''gator done git him?
45507Did he really do anything worth while?
45507Did n''t he think we could take care of ourselves?
45507Did the Major fight the Germans?
45507Did you find out what the fellow''s name is?
45507Did you get him?
45507Did you get lost?
45507Did you hit the mark?
45507Did you know the man?
45507Did you really kill a deer, Tad?
45507Did you see them?
45507Do I go alone?
45507Do I understand you to say that he tried to shoot you, Tad?
45507Do n''t you know better than to lie down in a place like this?
45507Do n''t you like my music?
45507Do n''t you see what has happened?
45507Do n''t you see, we are marooned?
45507Do n''t you think we have better use for our ammunition?
45507Do the bears live in trees?
45507Do they howl all night?
45507Do we swim across?
45507Do you know how far that is from here?
45507Do you know what the plans are for tomorrow?
45507Do you know who shot it, Chunky?
45507Do you like to have folks mad at you?
45507Do you see that thatched shack over there?
45507Do you shoot also?
45507Do you think that was what the dogs scented when you were out before?
45507Do you think, if you were let go, that you could go home to Mississippi and behave yourself?
45507Do you want to be sent back?
45507Do you, indeed?
45507Does that mean anything special?
45507Eh, what?
45507Eh? 45507 Eh?"
45507Eh?
45507Find any signs today?
45507Find it, Tad?
45507For goodness''sake, where did you get that outfit?
45507For what, kiddie?
45507For what?
45507From the other way?
45507Get any?
45507Going fishing?
45507Going which way?
45507Good gracious, what''s that?
45507Guide, what is the meaning of this?
45507Ha-- ha-- happened?
45507Had n''t we better look after the dogs? 45507 Has his horse been taken?"
45507Have all you boys got scents like deerhounds?
45507Have n''t you anything else to put on?
45507Have you a family?
45507Have you any clean water, Ichabod?
45507Have you any idea where he has gone? 45507 Have you boys fixed up your wounds?"
45507Have you seen anything of a man carrying a deer?
45507He did n''t find the deer signs?
45507He had a gun, did n''t he?
45507He has?
45507Hello, Chunky, what are you doing up there?
45507Here, what are you doing?
45507Here, where you going?
45507Hey, what did you shoot at?
45507How about it?
45507How about those bears? 45507 How about venison?"
45507How am I ever going to get anywhere on this skating rink?
45507How are we ever going to drive our horses through?
45507How are you going to prove that it is n''t?
45507How did the dogs act?
45507How did you ever come to get in that hole?
45507How did you get up there?
45507How did you manage it so quickly, Tad?
45507How do you chance to have punk?
45507How do you know there was n''t more than one?
45507How do you know?
45507How do you know?
45507How do you know?
45507How do you like it, fellows?
45507How do you propose to keep Pete?
45507How far is that from here?
45507How far is that?
45507How far is the brake from here?
45507How far?
45507How is it you did n''t get lost?
45507How long have you been there, Stacy?
45507How long you going to stay here?
45507How long?
45507How many?
45507How should I know? 45507 How so, Professor?"
45507How?
45507How?
45507How?
45507Hungry?
45507Hurt? 45507 Hurt?"
45507I suppose they are as thick in there as hairs on a dog?
45507I wonder where he was heading for? 45507 I wonder who it could have been?
45507I? 45507 In there?
45507Indeed?
45507Is he a big one?
45507Is he a good one?
45507Is n''t he the fine old gentleman?
45507Is n''t there any way of getting them out?
45507Is that a shack?
45507Is that the way_ you_ did it?
45507Is that why you sleep so much?
45507Is there no other way to reach the place?
45507Is there water in the canebrake?
45507Layin''all that talk aside, how you going to prove that that doe is your property?
45507Look here, what are you doing?
45507Look here, young man, where have you been?
45507Major, did I understand you to say that you had procured a guide for us?
45507May I ask who you are?
45507Near here?
45507Nerve?
45507Not the prisoner? 45507 Not there?"
45507Now, young man, what excuse have you to offer for going into the lake?
45507Of what?
45507Oh, I did, eh?
45507Oh, is that all?
45507Oh, well, you ca n''t blame him for defending himself, can you? 45507 Oh, you have condescended to speak to me, have you?"
45507Oh, you have? 45507 On the trail?"
45507One of our dogs?
45507Pete?
45507Pricked him with a bush- knife, eh?
45507Re-- reptiles?
45507Say, are you gifted with second sight?
45507Say, how much farther have we got to go?
45507See anything green in my eyes?
45507Shall I feel all puffed up or get mad at that remark?
45507Shall I give him the run, Tad? 45507 Shall I take the doe?"
45507Shall I wing him, Tad?
45507So, it''s you, is it, Alligator Pete? 45507 So?"
45507Somebody you know?
45507Stacy, did you do this?
45507Stacy, how is your heart today, after all your experiences?
45507Stop here?
45507Such language before an innocent boy like me? 45507 Suppose I place my rope around him, keeping the free end in my hand and riding behind him?
45507Surely, you do n''t intend to shed human blood?
45507Surrounded by water?
45507That boy up a tree?
45507That was a nice trick to play on us when we were sleeping so soundly, now was n''t it?
45507That way?
45507That your doe is n''t here?
45507That''s a good joke on the old scout, eh? 45507 The buck?"
45507Then had we not better follow his trail?
45507Then how do you know he had a gun, unless you guessed it?
45507Then if there''s nothing else to do will someone please tell me what blew up?
45507Then what in the world were you dragging him off into the swamp for?
45507Then what?
45507Then you think the fellow with whom we had the trouble could have had nothing to do with the attack of the wolves?
45507They have got to wake up in the morning to get ahead of you, have n''t they?
45507Want to lose that horse? 45507 Was n''t that what happened, Stacy?"
45507Was she in the cane?
45507We can shoot quickly, but the next question is, can we hit?
45507We know how we got him, too, do n''t we, Tad?
45507We know that, but what caused it?
45507Well, did you find it?
45507Well, for the sake of the argument, what are you going to do about it?
45507Well, what have you to say for yourself, young man?
45507Well, what is it?
45507Well, what then?
45507Well?
45507Well?
45507Well?
45507Wha-- what did you shoot, Tad?
45507What I suspect? 45507 What about the bear?"
45507What about the man?
45507What are we going to do for firewood?
45507What are you doing in my shack?
45507What are you doing in my shack?
45507What are you going to do?
45507What are you thinking about?
45507What d''ye mean?
45507What did I shoot? 45507 What did he look like?"
45507What did the fellow look like?
45507What did you discover?
45507What did you make of them?
45507What do you mean?
45507What do you propose to do about it?
45507What do you propose to do with the man, now that you have him?
45507What do you reckon you are going to do?
45507What do you say, Professor?
45507What do you think about it, Professor? 45507 What do you think about it, Tad?
45507What do you think of it?
45507What do you think you are yelling about, anyway?
45507What do you think?
45507What do you think?
45507What do you wind it with?
45507What do you- all reckon on doing?
45507What excuse?
45507What have we forgotten?
45507What have you found?
45507What is it you propose to do?
45507What is it, Icha?
45507What is it, where is he?
45507What is it?
45507What is it?
45507What is that?
45507What is the other way?
45507What is the use? 45507 What kind of snake is it?"
45507What kind of trail?
45507What makes you think so?
45507What makes you think so?
45507What right or reason have you to do it?
45507What shall we do with him now we have him?
45507What shall we do with him, then?
45507What was it?
45507What were you shooting at?
45507What were you trying to do to him at the time?
45507What would you do with it?
45507What''s that roaring?
45507What''s that you have there?
45507What''s the condition?
45507What''s the matter with you?
45507What''s the matter with you?
45507What''s the matter, Stacy?
45507What''s the use bothering with him? 45507 What, are you afraid of the bears?"
45507What-- what is it, Ned?
45507What-- what-- what''s that?
45507Where are they?
45507Where are you going?
45507Where are you going?
45507Where did you get it?
45507Where did you get that outfit, young man?
45507Where did you get your knowledge of horses, Master Butler?
45507Where do we go first?
45507Where do we go tomorrow?
45507Where is he?
45507Where is he?
45507Where is that boy with the wood? 45507 Where is that fat boy?"
45507Where''s that ungrateful wretch?
45507Where?
45507Where?
45507Which way did he go?
45507Which way did he go?
45507Who did that?
45507Who do you think he is?
45507Who wants to take a look at the town?
45507Who was it?
45507Who-- who''s going to watch you?
45507Why do n''t you come up here if you want to get me?
45507Why do n''t you go and find out?
45507Why do you ask?
45507Why not?
45507Why not?
45507Why should I? 45507 Why so close?"
45507Why so?
45507Why, did n''t you know what was in the lake?
45507Why?
45507Wind your horn?
45507Wo n''t their noses be out of joint? 45507 Wolves?"
45507Would it not be better to make a new camp farther in?
45507Would it please them, Major?
45507Yes, but what are you going to do if you do catch up with him?
45507Yes, sir; will you come here?
45507Yes, what did you think it was?
45507Yes, what is it?
45507Yes, who would have thought it?
45507You are quite sure it was a buck that he was carrying?
45507You did?
45507You did?
45507You do n''t say so? 45507 You have something on your mind?"
45507You mean Sunflower River, do you not?
45507You mean the cypress knees?
45507Young man, is there anything you do n''t see?
45507Yours?
45507And you are?"
45507And you did n''t know that?"
45507Are you coming down, Stacy Brown?"
45507Are you game to tackle them?"
45507Are you hurt?"
45507But how can I do it?
45507But why should n''t I fall down if I want to?"
45507By the way, what has become of my pig?"
45507CHAPTER I SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY"Professor Zepplin, I believe?"
45507CHAPTER VIII WOODMAN, SPARE THIS TREE"Now, what are you going to do?"
45507CHAPTER XIV THE FAT BOY DISTINGUISHES HIMSELF"You laughing at me?"
45507Ca n''t we get him somewhere where we can treat him?"
45507Ca n''t you let him have the full enjoyment of his bravery?"
45507Ca n''t you see that the fellow is suffering?
45507Chivalrous, too, eh?"
45507Did he really fly up there?"
45507Did n''t know what you had met up with when you stole the doe from this kid, eh, Pete?
45507Did n''t you ever see me fly?
45507Did n''t you hear the guide say there were reptiles here?"
45507Did they take you out of school to dig early potatoes before the spring terms closed?"
45507Did you ask him what arrangements he had made for us, Professor?"
45507Do n''t you see what he has done?
45507Do they have regular runways down here?"
45507Do you know Bill Lilly?"
45507Do you mean_ could_ he?"
45507Do you promise to get over to your own state and behave yourself?"
45507Do you suppose he is on our track?"
45507Do you think he is at home?"
45507Do you want to go with me, Butler?"
45507Ever hear of a horse laugh?
45507Fresh tracks?"
45507Has he any place where he would go to get out of the way?"
45507Have all the rest of you boys got scents like deerhounds, eh?"
45507Hello, Ned, what''s the matter?"
45507How can I come down when Ned Rector is using the axe?
45507How far did you go?"
45507How many bear did you get?"
45507How many rooms will you require?"
45507How should I know that the stuff was loaded?
45507How would that strike you?"
45507Hurt?"
45507I do n''t suppose you have any objections?"
45507I guess you boys must be hungry, eh?"
45507I wonder if I could buy him?
45507I wonder if they are all black in this part of the country?"
45507I wonder why?"
45507Ichabod, did you?"
45507Ichabod, have you seen Master Brown?"
45507Ichabod, what is that snake the owl has up there?"
45507If our late enemy should chance to be following us it would give him a pretty good line on us, would n''t it?"
45507If you want a deer so badly, why do n''t you go shoot one?
45507Is n''t it a wonder?"
45507Is this country full of stuff like that that will blow up if you look crosswise at it?"
45507Lilly?"
45507Lilly?"
45507Lilly?"
45507Lilly?"
45507Lilly?"
45507Lilly?"
45507Lilly?"
45507Lilly?"

45507Lilly?"
45507Lilly?"
45507Lilly?"
45507Lilly?"
45507Lilly?"
45507Lilly?"
45507Missed him, did n''t you?"
45507Motive?
45507Mr Lilly, did you find my double blaze?"
45507Now what are you going to do about it?"
45507Now what do you reckon you are doing in my shack?"
45507Now, do you think you can be good, or do you want some more of the same medicine?"
45507Oh, wow?"
45507See anything?"
45507Shall I take a look about inside?"
45507So the moccasin has been back here again, eh?"
45507So you got hung up?"
45507Stacy, will you come down out of that tree?"
45507The question is, where is he now, and is he coming back here today?"
45507They seem to have given you fellows the slip?"
45507Think I stole it?"
45507To which trail do you refer?"
45507Was n''t that a measly trick?"
45507Was there more than one of them?"
45507Well, what did you get?"
45507Wha-- what''s that?"
45507What are we going to do with them?"
45507What did I tell you, Tad?"
45507What do you know about it?"
45507What do you mean by interfering with my party?"
45507What had happened to the dog?"
45507What if a snake had chanced along and discovered my feet out there?"
45507What is there so horrible about this-- this canebrake?"
45507What kind of trail are we going out on, do you know?"
45507What lake is this?"
45507What would you suggest?"
45507What you- all been doing this afternoon?"
45507What''s the fun of living if somebody is n''t making life interesting for you?"
45507Whatcher want?"
45507When a mosquito buzzes around your head, threatening to bite you, you swat him, do n''t you?"
45507When do we strike camp?"
45507Where are the Professor and Walter?"
45507Where did you get the doe?"
45507Where is he?"
45507Where is our baggage?
45507Which way is the breeze?"
45507Which way was he going?"
45507Who did it?"
45507Why did n''t he shoot if he wanted it?"
45507Why did n''t you wake me up before you moved the camp?
45507Why did that man steal the doe, Chunky?"
45507Why not let him go?
45507Why?"
45507Wo n''t it scare all the game out of the woods?"
45507Wo n''t the boys have the laugh on you?"
45507Would he?"
45507Would n''t it be better to leave him up there where he can not get into any further difficulties?"
45507You did n''t think I had been in these brakes all these years without knowing all about them, did you?"
45507You do n''t mean he has escaped?"
45507You mean the place where we made temporary camp this afternoon, do n''t you?"
45507You never have been in the brake?"
45507You will wish to go to your hotel?"
4991''What-- what''s the trouble? 4991 ''What?''
4991And he said to the man in the store,''Please, sir, some liniment and some cement?''
4991And nobody ever discovered these before?
4991And ride all night-- is that what you mean?
4991And then?
4991And they were plotting my life?
4991And this-- this Indian that you knocked down-- was he an Apache?
4991And we ca n''t get down, then?
4991And what are they, Master Stacy?
4991And you knew about this stuff, Juan?
4991And-- and what''ll we be doing?
4991Any idea where the place is?
4991Are all of you lads as quick on an errand as that?
4991Are n''t you going to help us?
4991Are they shooting at us?
4991Are we going through the fire?
4991Are you going to tell a story?
4991Are you hurt, Chunky?
4991Are you sick?
4991Are you there?
4991Be careful, Chunky, what are you doing there?
4991Besieged?
4991Both?
4991But supposing they ask you a question?
4991But there are no trees near here?
4991But what leads you to believe this is the Pueblo village of your particular chief''s ancestors?
4991But whoever heard of sleepy grass?
4991But you did n''t think of it until you saw the table set, did you?
4991But you do n''t think there will be any danger in just going after our guide, do you?
4991But you runned away, eh? 4991 But you wo n''t do so now-- will you?"
4991But you''re not going to desert Tad and Chunky, are you?
4991But, what else can we do, Tad?
4991But, when will they wake up?
4991By whom?
4991By whom?
4991Ca n''t I talk?
4991Ca n''t we get any in some of the towns down here?
4991Ca n''t you be serious for a minute? 4991 Ca n''t you lie still?
4991Can what?
4991Can you boys shoot a rope?
4991Can you see the camp, to know if anyone is there?
4991Cheese is proper, is n''t it?
4991Chunky, what are you getting at?
4991Chunky, you come along and show us where you were when you shot-- did you shoot at an Indian?
4991D- d- do you think they saw us, Tad?
4991Did he see us, do you think, Tad?
4991Did it hurt you?
4991Did they stop in the village?
4991Did you fetch the sacks?
4991Did you hit anything?
4991Did you see him kick when Juan tossed a tomato can against his heels this morning? 4991 Did you see us?"
4991Divining rod?
4991Do n''t you know there''s an Indian with a gun guarding us? 4991 Do they know you''re here?"
4991Do you eat wish bones, Chunky?
4991Do you have any trouble with them?
4991Do you know what the treasure consists of?
4991Do you mean that one of the boys was imprudent enough to build a fire in that grass? 4991 Do you think he really had a pain?"
4991Do you think they will let us take part?
4991Do you think they''ll come back again?
4991Do-- do you think they are alive?
4991Does it strike here very often?
4991Downed you, did he?
4991Ever see a kangaroo jump?
4991Exploring?
4991Fell down the cellar, did n''t I?
4991For what reason?
4991Gives you a creepy feeling, does n''t it?
4991Got what?
4991Guide, what do you know about this?
4991Has some one been tampering with our animals?
4991Have they stampeded?
4991Have you a reliable guide?
4991Have you weapons, Professor?
4991Having lots of fun, ai n''t we, Tad?
4991He? 4991 Hello, now we''ll hear what your new idea is, Chunky?"
4991Hello, what''s the matter back there?
4991Help-- help you find the buried treasure?
4991Here, here, here, what''s the trouble now?
4991Here? 4991 Him go some, señor?"
4991How did you get through the fire?
4991How do you feel now?
4991How do you mean? 4991 How far did you fall?"
4991How far is it to a place where we could get a sheriff?
4991How long we got to stay here?
4991How many?
4991How much did you give Juan?
4991How much is it?
4991How shall we do it?
4991How should I know? 4991 How would you like to have me take the trail with you for a week or so?"
4991How''d Marquand get wise to it?
4991How-- how do you think the fire started?
4991How?
4991How?
4991How?
4991I deny ever having tried to put up a game on--"Master Tad, did you ever see these men before?
4991I fell off my pony, then I fell on you, and we''ll call it quits, eh, Ned?
4991I go back? 4991 I thought they were n''t allowed to do that any more?"
4991I was wondering why there are n''t any sage roosters?
4991I wonder what''s the matter?
4991I wonder where it comes from?
4991I wonder who they are?
4991I''d like to know how?
4991I''d like to know what this is all about?
4991I-- I dunno, I-- I fell off, did n''t I?
4991I-- I dunno; do you?
4991I-- I mean-- say, leggo my neck, will you?
4991I-- I shot the chute-- I-- I mean I chuted the shot-- I mean--"Say, what do you mean?
4991If the burro can find the way what do you think an Indian could do, fellows?
4991Indeed?
4991Is he a hermit?
4991Is it good?
4991Is it possible? 4991 Is n''t he coming to meet us?"
4991Is n''t this great?
4991Is old man Marquand going to meet us at the station?
4991Is that one of them?
4991Is-- is he Santa Claus?
4991Juan, did you see two men get off the train at Bluewater yesterday when we did? 4991 Juan?
4991Know anybody by the name of Marquand in this country?
4991Know them?
4991Know what they are, Tad?
4991Know''em?
4991Lasar and Comstock? 4991 Laugh?
4991Master Stacy and myself know what they tried to do, do n''t we, lad?
4991May we explore these caves, Professor?
4991May we go down now?
4991My friend Chunky will go with me, if agreeable to you?
4991Not that stuff you fed me when I ate too much honey in the Rockies?
4991Not the one we ducked in the spring, was it?
4991Not-- not through that fire?
4991Now what''s the matter?
4991Now, I wonder what next?
4991Now, is n''t that sweet of him?
4991Now, what can I do for you? 4991 Now, where''s your theory?"
4991On account of?
4991Pain? 4991 Please let us?"
4991Professor, had n''t you better fetch your medicine case and dose him up?
4991Saw who, Chunky?
4991Say, Tad,called Walter,"what do you say to our jumping our ponies some time to- day?"
4991Scarecrows?
4991See anything wrong with that cheese?
4991See here, Stacy Brown, what did you see-- what did you shoot at?
4991See it? 4991 See that hole in the roof up there?"
4991See those little projections of rock slanting down toward the shelf?
4991Sha n''t I go hold the top down?
4991Shall we count it?
4991Sleepy grass?
4991So that''s it, is it?
4991Some what?
4991Stacy Brown, are you responsible for this?
4991Sure they''re asleep?
4991Sure thing, boy, but I reckon you''d better not be going any further?
4991Tad, what foolish idea have you in mind now? 4991 Tell me about it?"
4991Thank you,said Tad, touching his pony;"Going on?"
4991That would be good sport, would n''t it, Ned?
4991The gun?
4991The other fellow was n''t with him, if that''s what you mean?
4991The question is, how are we going to get near enough to explore them? 4991 The rascals are all out in front of the house, are n''t they?"
4991Then will you please tell us what is the matter with them?
4991Then you believe him-- you do not believe me?
4991Then you think?
4991Then, then, we''ve got to remain here all the rest of the afternoon and night-- is that it?
4991Then, you''ve seen him? 4991 Then-- then our information is going to be of some use to you?"
4991Then-- then we wo n''t have to go dry any more-- I can find water with this when I''m dry?
4991They? 4991 Think so?
4991Think those are the Indians that wanted to shoot us, Tad?
4991Think you want some liquor still, Juan, or would you prefer another dose of my magic drops?
4991Under the circumstances, as my opponent objects, and as we all wish to prevent hard feelings, why not give him a chance as well? 4991 W- w- where?"
4991Want another one already?
4991Want it?
4991Want, to get shot full of holes? 4991 Was he alone?"
4991Was it very terrible, Tad?
4991Wat''cher want? 4991 Watch the camp?"
4991We came pretty near having a fight, did n''t we?
4991We want to know if you think we''ve seen the last of the Apaches? 4991 Well, did I say this fellow was a boy?"
4991Well, have you two been getting into difficulties also?
4991Well, what is it, Chunky?
4991Well, what is it, young man?
4991Well, what''s the matter, Chunky?
4991Well, what''s the matter?
4991Well, you see--"How much is it?
4991Were they afraid of the smoke? 4991 Were those Apaches?"
4991Wha''d he say?
4991Wha-- what?
4991What am I going to do for a pony?
4991What bottle?
4991What did you give him, professor?
4991What do you mean?
4991What do you mean?
4991What do you suppose could have happened to them?
4991What do you want?
4991What does that indicate, Tad?
4991What does this mean? 4991 What does this mean?"
4991What does this mean?
4991What for, Kringle?
4991What for? 4991 What has happened?
4991What have you to say to that?
4991What if the Indians chase us?
4991What is Mr. Lasar''s business?
4991What is it you wish?
4991What is it, Chunky?
4991What is it, Master Stacy?
4991What is it-- what''s the trouble now?
4991What is it? 4991 What is it?"
4991What is it?
4991What is it?
4991What is it?
4991What is it?
4991What is it?
4991What is that?
4991What kicked me?
4991What kind of a contest?
4991What makes you think that?
4991What of him?
4991What on earth made you do a crazy thing like that?
4991What sort of a looking pony is yours?
4991What was all that row?
4991What was it that he saw?
4991What was the matter?
4991What you doing here?
4991What you doing that for?
4991What you going to do-- sneak?
4991What you got there?
4991What''s our side show?
4991What''s that for?
4991What''s that you say? 4991 What''s that, Master Ned?"
4991What''s that?
4991What''s that?
4991What''s that?
4991What''s that?
4991What''s that?
4991What''s the matter with the ponies?
4991What''s the meaning of this shooting?
4991What''s the other thing?
4991What''s the row?
4991What''s up? 4991 What''s your plan?"
4991What, sleep twenty- four hours?
4991What, the dance, or what happened afterwards?
4991What-- didn''t duck us? 4991 What-- what is it?"
4991What?
4991What?
4991What?
4991What?
4991What?
4991Whe-- where are you?
4991When do we start?
4991When you get quieted down perhaps you''ll be good enough to tell me who it is you saw?
4991Where are you going?
4991Where are you going?
4991Where did they go? 4991 Where did you say they were going, Juan?"
4991Where is he?
4991Where they going?
4991Where, where?
4991Where?
4991Where?
4991Where?
4991Where?
4991Which direction did Master Stacy take?
4991Which one is the better at it?
4991Which way are you headed?
4991Who are you and what do you mean by shooting us up in this fashion?
4991Who are you?
4991Who can it be?
4991Who is he?
4991Who you mean-- Santa Claus?
4991Who you?
4991Who''s afraid of Indians?
4991Who''s telling this story?
4991Why did n''t you make yourself known-- why have n''t you helped us to unload?
4991Why did n''t you tell us?
4991Why do n''t you shoot at them?
4991Why do n''t you?
4991Why not start now?
4991Why not?
4991Why should we make a fire and thus make targets of ourselves?
4991Why you do this?
4991Why, it does n''t have to work, does it? 4991 Why-- why did n''t we think to bring some down with us?"
4991Why?
4991Will you join us and have some supper?
4991Will you please tell me how we can reach the place? 4991 Wing you?"
4991Wonder what they''ve got up their sleeves?
4991Wonder who did that?
4991Would either of you know Lasar were you to see him again, do you think?
4991Would it not be a good idea to find out whether or not there is water here?
4991Would you?
4991Yes, but what if they''re not? 4991 Yes, how did they get to their houses?"
4991Yes, what is it?
4991Yes, what''s that got to do with our present predicament?
4991Yes; I do n''t see why it might not be any of the ruined adobe houses in this valley?
4991Yes; what do you think we''re paying you good American dollars for?
4991Yes?
4991Yes?
4991You did n''t hear them say what their plan was, then?
4991You know that sage hen we had?
4991You mean the one we heard talking just before we got to Bluewater?
4991You mean you know one of them?
4991You mean?
4991You promise not to gamble the money away if we give it to you?
4991You speak English?
4991You''re the guilty one, eh?
4991You-- are you the guide?
4991You-- you call me a tenderfoot?
4991You-- you have n''t told them your plans?
4991You?
4991You?
4991Your stomach?
4991And those Indians-- say, Ned, do you think they will bother us any more?"
4991Are they easy to get at?"
4991Boys, what do you think of it now?
4991But how do you suppose he knew they were over there?"

4991CHAPTER XIV AGAINST BIG ODDS"What is it, Chunky?"
4991CHAPTER XVIII FACING THE ENEMY''S GUNS"Do we go in?"
4991Can you describe the man whom you saw with him on the train?"
4991Can you walk?"
4991Did you recognize either of them as the fellow you knocked down the other might?"
4991Do n''t we know there''s water here?
4991Do n''t you know enough to quit when you''re through?"
4991Do n''t you know?"
4991Do n''t you know?"
4991Do n''t you see we are in a fix?"
4991Do you know him?"
4991Do you know?"
4991Do you understand?"
4991Does n''t it usually rain when you have a thunder storm here?"
4991Does the old man know where the place is?"
4991Ever see one?"
4991Going to pull it over?"
4991Got room enough?"
4991Got the nerve?"
4991Guide?"
4991Have we any more stakes in camp?"
4991Have you a hatchet?"
4991Have you any title to this property?"
4991He rushed into a drug store--""Was anything chasing him?"
4991He''s over on the other side--""Who?
4991Hear''em growl at each other?"
4991How many does that leave?"
4991How would you boys like to join me?
4991I take for granted that neither of you smoke?"
4991I thought when we got a new guide-- but what''s the use?
4991I wonder if they''d hurt us, Tad?"
4991I''ve got a six- shooter and so have you, but what do they amount to against half a dozen rifles?"
4991Is it good to eat?"
4991Is that clear now?"
4991It ca n''t be possible that anyone is deliberately shooting at us?"
4991It will be an interesting experience for you?"
4991Juan?"

4991Kringle?"
4991Kringle?"
4991Marquand?"
4991Marquand?"
4991Marquand?"
4991Now they were sure of it, for had not the lad told them so himself?
4991One of them had a big, broad sombrero like mine?"
4991Professor, will you join us?"
4991See it?"
4991Shall I ask Chunky''s pardon?"
4991So you thought to hoodwink me-- to get the secret of the treasure and then put me out of the way, eh?
4991Stacy glanced at it indifferently;"What do I want of a bottle?"
4991Suppose we boys take turns?"
4991Supposing the others take a try?"
4991Tad glanced at his companion keenly;"Getting cold feet, Chunky?"
4991That was your game, was it?
4991That would be a nice thing to do, would n''t it?
4991That''s the best plan; do n''t you think so?"
4991The Pony Rider Boys in New Mexico or The End of the Silver Trail by Frank Gee Patchin, 1910 CHAPTER I SOMETHING IN THE WIND"What was that?"
4991They do n''t live about here, do they, Juan?"
4991They''ll be surprised to see a procession of ponies going over the table, wo n''t they?"
4991They''re going to hold a fire dance to- night--""A fire dance?"
4991Think I''m a tenderfoot?
4991Think they''ll stand a blow?"
4991Understand?"
4991Was I right or was I wrong?"
4991Wat''cher want?"
4991Wat''s matter with you?"
4991We are very much mystified?"
4991What Rind of wood is it?"
4991What ails you fellows?
4991What ails you?"
4991What are you doing out there?"
4991What are you looking at?"
4991What can we do here?
4991What do you want liniment and cement for?''
4991What does that mean?"
4991What has happened?"
4991What is it?"
4991What made them break away?"
4991What man?"
4991What sort of man is your guide?"
4991What you going to do?"
4991What''s going on over there?"
4991What''s his other name?"
4991What''s the matter with you?"
4991What''s the matter with you?"
4991What''s the meaning of this, guide?"
4991What''s your idea?"
4991Where are you from?"
4991Where do you suppose the Indians found them?"
4991Where is he?"
4991Where you hail from and where to?"
4991Where''s the garden?"
4991Where''s your pony?"
4991Who will get the bags?"
4991Who''s going in swimming with me?"
4991Why do n''t you laugh?"
4991Why?"
4991Will somebody go over to the camp and get those gunny sacks of mine?
4991Will they bother us any more?"
4991Will you tell me where I may find him?"
4991Would n''t it be funny to see some umpires kicked over the high board fence?"
4991You can find your way, ca n''t you?"
4991You do n''t think I''m going to stay here all night, do you?"
4991You here yet?"
4991You think they may give as further trouble?"
12997A heavy one?
12997A soft place?
12997Afraid?
12997Ai n''t all tenderfeet, eh?
12997And breakfast?
12997And do you live down there alone?
12997And do--- do we see them?
12997And he did n''t take a chunk out of me to carry away with him?
12997And starve? 12997 Angry with you?"
12997Another trip, eh?
12997Any Indians down there?
12997Any chance of a row?
12997Are n''t we going into the Canyon to stay?
12997Are they bad?
12997Are they ugly?
12997Are you boys hungry?
12997Are you going down, Professor?
12997Brave?
12997But how can you blame me, with the company I keep?
12997But how comes it that this level stretch of fertile land is found in this rugged, rocky canyon, Nance?
12997But we''re going to go after some of them, are n''t we?
12997But where is the Canyon?
12997But why should he want to turn the lion loose?
12997But you''re well, so what''s the odds?
12997But,protested Tad,"is there no way to get it?"
12997By what?
12997Ca n''t?
12997Can no one do anything?
12997Can--- can he get here?
12997Chased by goats?
12997Come in the house, wo n''t you? 12997 Come, who is going to tie those claws together, Stacy?"
12997Could n''t he let down ropes and get us out?
12997Could n''t we have a lion hunt while we are out here?
12997Dead?
12997Deer?
12997Did I?
12997Did n''t think we came over to help you chop wood, did you?
12997Did you ever have a sore lip, Ned?
12997Did you hear anything in the night, Nance?
12997Do I? 12997 Do n''t I?
12997Do n''t blame him for what?
12997Do n''t do that Do n''t you know I have n''t any skin on my body?
12997Do n''t you know what that is?
12997Do n''t you know you''re monkeying with fire? 12997 Do they have ghosts in this canyon?"
12997Do they not sit down with us?
12997Do they work the land?
12997Do we start as soon as we have finished here?
12997Do we take the pack train with us?
12997Do what?
12997Do you know how to handle a pinto, boy?
12997Do you swim?
12997Do you?
12997Do? 12997 Does Mr. Perkins think we had better take our ponies with us?"
12997Does n''t he speak English?
12997Eh? 12997 Find any footprints?"
12997For goodness''sake, what is that?
12997For the love of goodness, what''s the matter, Stacy? 12997 Get him there?
12997Give Ned a chance, ca n''t you, Chunky?
12997Got what?
12997Got what?
12997Has any one ever accomplished it?
12997Has either of you any suggestions to offer?
12997Have n''t you fellows anything to do?
12997Have you engaged them?
12997Have you gone raving mad on the subject of lions?
12997Have you seen any signs of them?
12997He could get right over on our own trail, could he not?
12997He could n''t very well appear in polite society in that rig, could he, Tad?
12997He means,''have we come from the place of the roaring sound?''
12997He''s old enough to-----"To--- what?
12997Hey, Mr. Nance, did you move the cat?
12997How about it, Tad?
12997How about it, Walt?
12997How about it?
12997How about our ponies?
12997How about the pack train?
12997How are we going to sleep?
12997How can he ever make that dizzy climb in his condition?
12997How can you edit it when you did n''t see the affair?
12997How could he? 12997 How did this trail ever get such a name?"
12997How do ye propose to get across that stretch of water there to reach the other side of the horseshoe?
12997How do you feel this fine morning?
12997How do you feel?
12997How do you get down?
12997How do you know a one- legged Indian has been here?
12997How do you know?
12997How do you mean?
12997How do you mean?
12997How far are we from the surface?
12997How far away are they?
12997How far down are you?
12997How long ago?
12997How long have we got to stay cooped up in this half cave?
12997How many persons are there in your tribe, chief?
12997I can do that, but what''s at the bottom?
12997I can thrash the fellow who says I have?
12997I woke up-----"What again?
12997I wonder what he''s after this time?
12997I wonder where the rope and wire are?
12997I--- I guess I did make a fool of myself, did n''t I, Professor?
12997I? 12997 Including the squaws, two hundred and fifty?"
12997Is he drowned?
12997Is he hurt?
12997Is he settled?
12997Is it a land or a rock slide?
12997Is it a--- a man?
12997Is it permitted to hunt them?
12997Is it safe, Nance?
12997Is it safe?
12997Is n''t it time Tad were getting back?
12997Is n''t that fine? 12997 Is n''t there gold down here?"
12997Is that the Wild Man of the Canyon?
12997Is the water deep in there?
12997Is there any danger of the river overflowing on us?
12997Is there any last request that you want me to make to relatives or friends, Tad?
12997Is this as far as we go?
12997Is this place haunted? 12997 Is--- is he all right?"
12997Is--- is it going to rain?
12997Is--- is my rifle lost?
12997It does brace a fellow up to have that--- that--- what do you call it?
12997It does n''t look as if we were going to have any luck, does it, Tad?
12997Job? 12997 Kind and sound, is n''t he?"
12997Li--- li--- lion meat?
12997Lions?
12997Magi back- a- tai- a?
12997May I ask why not?
12997Mr. Nance, if a man were below the horseshoe down the Canyon there, he would be able to make his way over to the Bright Angel Trail, would he not?
12997Mrs. Butler,began Ned, clearing his throat,"we--- we thank you; from the bottom of our hearts we thank you--- don''t we, Stacy?"
12997Ned, will you fetch my saddle and bridle? 12997 Now will you be good, Tad Butler?"
12997Of the Colorado?
12997Oh, I forgot the cookies, did n''t I?
12997Oh, it is, eh?
12997Oh, it''s there, is it?
12997Oh, it''s you?
12997Perhaps you would like to try it yourself?
12997Pity it did n''t fall out the other way and souse a few guides, eh?
12997Rain?
12997Real food?
12997Rope?
12997Safe?
12997Say, what is this meat?
12997Sea--- scalp me?
12997See anything?
12997See the Indians? 12997 Sha n''t I rope him for you?"
12997Shall I take a shot?
12997Shall we give him a big thrashing, or make him run the gauntlet?
12997Smell something, eh?
12997Speaking of checks,said Ned Rector after an interval of silence,"did you bring along that snaffle bit, Tad?"
12997Spirits? 12997 Stick your finger in his mouth and see?"
12997Sure you did n''t throw it over in the bushes down the other side?
12997Surely you do not suspect the man Chow?
12997Swim it? 12997 That means you''ve something ahead--- another trip?"
12997The Grand Canyon of the Colorado?
12997The Grand Canyon of the Colorado?
12997The lion''s bloodstained garments?
12997The one we were going to put on Stacy Brown to hold him in check?
12997The question is what are you going to do with him, now that you have him?
12997The question is, did you fetch down anything to eat?
12997The question is, what''ll we take with us?
12997The question is,said the Professor,"is there nothing that we can do to attract the attention of others?"
12997Then Professor Zepplin is to accompany us?
12997Then that is the explanation of the cause of those up- waves?
12997Then what are we going to do?
12997Then what did you do?
12997Then what shall we do?
12997Then you do n''t mean to tell me that some person or persons liberated him?
12997Up? 12997 Wal?"
12997Warning of what?
12997Was I bluffing? 12997 Was that another of them?"
12997We are prisoners here? 12997 We''d better take the redskin back to camp, had n''t we?"
12997Well, Professor, what do you say?
12997Well, did you find a trail?
12997Well, fellows, is this just a friendly call or have you really something in mind?
12997Well, he made it, did n''t he?
12997Well, how about it?
12997Well, how does it feel to be roasted?
12997Well, what about it, Tad?
12997Well, what about it?
12997Well, what do you think of it?
12997Well, what do you want to know?
12997Well, what''ll I do, if you know so much about it?
12997Well, why have n''t you?
12997Well?
12997Were you bluffing all the time?
12997Wh- what do you want me to do?
12997What about it, gentlemen?
12997What about some light?
12997What about them? 12997 What about yourself?
12997What became of the spook? 12997 What caused their death?"
12997What d''ye say if we call you Whiskers?
12997What did Chunky have for supper?
12997What did happen?
12997What did n''t he have?
12997What did you see?
12997What did you think you heard?
12997What do lions eat?
12997What do you know about it? 12997 What do you take me for, an animal trainer?"
12997What do you think about waiting until daylight for the climb?
12997What do you think of it, Professor?
12997What do you think of that for riding?
12997What for?
12997What happened to you?
12997What happened?
12997What happens to the Navajo?
12997What has happened to him?
12997What have you got, ropes?
12997What is a butte--- how did they happen to be called that?
12997What is going on up there?
12997What is it, Professor?
12997What is it, Professor?
12997What is it? 12997 What is it?
12997What is it?
12997What is it?
12997What is it?
12997What is the matter with the dogs?
12997What is the meaning of this, young man?
12997What is your plan?
12997What kind of a ghost?
12997What made him do that?
12997What shall we do with him now?
12997What shall we do with this redskin?
12997What snaffle bit?
12997What was it?
12997What will get you? 12997 What would you expect to find in a volcano?"
12997What''s happened?
12997What''s off?
12997What''s that you said about spirit meals?
12997What''s that, Indians?
12997What''s that?
12997What''s that?
12997What''s the trouble?
12997What''s your plan, Butler?
12997What, my lion got away?
12997What, snow in June?
12997What, spend another night in this hole?
12997What, with my beloved Canyon to keep me company? 12997 What--- sunrise?"
12997What--- what is it?
12997What?
12997What?
12997What?
12997Whe--- where''s the civilized society? 12997 When shall it be?"
12997When you could n''t have laughed at the funniest story you ever heard?
12997When?
12997Where are the ponies?
12997Where are we?
12997Where are you going to get ropes? 12997 Where away this time, Ned?"
12997Where did I leave off?
12997Where did you drop it?
12997Where did you leave it?
12997Where do we meet the Professor?
12997Where do we wash?
12997Where is Bright Angel Canyon?
12997Where is it? 12997 Where is the Canyon?"
12997Where is the Canyon?
12997Where''d you learn to ride like that?
12997Where''s Stacy?
12997Where''s that rifle?
12997Where, Chunky? 12997 Where?"
12997Where?
12997Where?
12997Which way do we go?
12997Which way?
12997Who is going up first?
12997Who put up this job on me?
12997Who said anything about goats?
12997Who shot him?
12997Who, what, how, where, when?
12997Who?
12997Whose turn is it to get breakfast?
12997Why did n''t you shoot him?
12997Why did you let Brown rope the pinto, then?
12997Why do n''t you live down here, then?
12997Why do n''t you stay in Bright Angel for a while and study ghosts?
12997Why not? 12997 Why not?"
12997Why, what''s the matter?
12997Why, where are we going?
12997Why, you poor little tenderfoot, do n''t you know how that one track got there?
12997Why--- why not?
12997Why?
12997Why?
12997Will he bite?
12997Will it hold?
12997Will not that be a strange experience?
12997Will we get any chance to shoot deer?
12997Will you go down to- day, or will you wait?
12997Will you please tell us where we may find him, pardner?
12997Work?
12997Would n''t that be great, fellows?
12997Yes, but--- but how are we going to get the fellow there?
12997Yes, what d''ye think? 12997 You are used to it, eh?"
12997You have no--- no idea what has become of it--- no theory?
12997You know he has lived among savages lately, and-----"Yes, ma''am, Ned and I have been constant companions for--- how long has it been, boys?
12997You know how a switchback railroad works? 12997 You little idiot, why did you draw any of the stuff in?"
12997You mean it?
12997You start--- when?
12997You want something to eat?
12997A king--- this mountain lion of ours?
12997A shadow, you understand?
12997And by the way, got any apple pie?
12997And what do you think?"
12997Any of you boys ever hear of spirit soup?"
12997Any wild animals down here, Dad?"
12997Are my friends down there hungry?"
12997Are n''t there any vines of which I could make a ladder?"
12997Are you much knocked out?"
12997Be good enough to explain how this trouble arose?"
12997But how had the beast gotten away?
12997But we got him, did n''t we?
12997But what good would that do us?"
12997But what plans has Mr. Perkins made?"
12997Butler?"
12997By the way, where is your gun?"
12997CHAPTER IV A NIGHT IN THE CRATER"What, climb that mountain?"
12997CHAPTER V TAD LENDS HELPING HAND"What is it?
12997CHAPTER VIII THE CITY IN THE SKIES"What has happened now?"
12997CHAPTER XIX THE FAT BOY DOES A GHOST DANCE"A one- legged Indian?"
12997Ca n''t you understand plain English?
12997Can you conceive of such a scene?
12997Could nothing impress Chunky?
12997Did he fly up?"
12997Did you know you knocked over the Medicine Man?"
12997Do n''t I know how to rope anything that ambles on four legs?
12997Do n''t you envy me my fine swim, boys?"
12997Do n''t you see?"
12997Do n''t you think it takes nerve for a fellow to start in to jump off a rock a mile high?
12997Do you forget where you are?
12997Does n''t he know enough to come in out of the wet?"
12997Escape is for the present wholly cut off-----""Ca n''t we climb up a trail lower down?"
12997Ever hear of spirit soup?"
12997Going back into the Canyon?"
12997Has Mr. Perkins decided when we are to start?"
12997Has this fellow ever been ridden?"
12997Have much of a tussle with him?"
12997Have n''t I been riding the toughest critters on the ranges of the Rockies for years and years?
12997Have n''t I got enough to worry me already without being chased by ghosts?
12997Have you anything to eat?"
12997Have you got a streak of yellow in you?"
12997Have you heard the strange voices of Dad''s friend?"
12997He had barrels of the stuff, and-----""How is the chuck made?"
12997He looks as if he might be a Senator, or-----""Any of you boys know where we can find Jim Nance?"
12997He''s going-----""Look here, Chunky, are you telling this or am I?"
12997How about it, Dad?"
12997How could he have untied the wire from the tree?
12997How do you feel, boys?"
12997How is Jennie, Tom?"
12997How many did you fellows get?"
12997How many have you with you?"
12997How''s the weather?"
12997However, we''re pretty safe down here, unless-----""Unless what?"
12997I reckon you are figgering on gitting started to- day?"
12997If you have n''t any nerve, why-----""Nerve?
12997Impossible?"
12997In the second, how could any one slip in here at the right moment and get away with your rifle?"
12997Is n''t that a simple proposition?"
12997Is n''t that it, Dad?"
12997Is that it, Nance?"
12997Is that the hotel, El Tovar Hotel?
12997Mind would n''t be any use to me after I was dead, would it?"
12997Nance?"
12997Nance?"
12997Nance?"
12997Nance?"
12997Nance?"
12997Nance?"
12997Nance?"
12997Nance?"
12997Nance?"
12997Nerve?"
12997Now does n''t that beat all?"
12997Oh, wo n''t somebody hold me?"
12997Professor, do n''t you think you ought to give Stacy some medicine?"
12997Remember what a tender plant I was when we went out in the Rockies that time?"
12997So long as the chief was not angry, why should he be?
12997That''s your style, is it?"
12997The Canyon is his home---""You mean you live here?"
12997The--- the mountain blew up and-----""Well, are you fellows going to leave me down here all the rest of the night?"
12997Think I want to stay here all night?"
12997Think a fellow would need to bluff when a big chump like you fell in on him?
12997Understand?"
12997Was this another mystery of the Bright Angel Gulch?
12997We just saw him up a tree--- that is, I saw him, and-----""Where were you?"
12997We ought to be able to pick up whatever else we need after we get out there------""I guess that''s all, fellows, is n''t it?"
12997We shall no doubt need some good tough boots for mountain climbing-----""Do we have to climb mountains?"
12997What ails you?
12997What could a mere man hope to do against that demon?"
12997What could it mean?
12997What did he say the name was, Walt?"
12997What did you see?"
12997What do you think of it?"
12997What is it?"
12997What is it?"
12997What is it?"
12997What shall we call you for short?"
12997What spirits?"
12997What''s happened?"
12997What''s the matter with you?
12997What''s wrong with you fellows?"
12997Where are you?
12997Where''s the left?
12997Who is there here to steal it, in the first place?
12997Who would n''t have been?
12997Why not?"
12997Why wo n''t we?"
12997Why''d you make a dead weight of yourself?"
12997Why?"
12997Wo n''t old Dad be surprised when we trail into camp with this big game?"
12997Yes?
12997You are n''t angry with me, are you, Chunky?"
12997You are not afraid of a mountain, are you?"
12997You see those things that look like ditches?"
12997You''d better practise up on those favorite exclamations of yours---""What are they?"
12997Your case demanded instant treatment---""Say, what was that meat we had for dinner, Tad?"
36423A halo?
36423A river?
36423A schooner, did you say?
36423Ai n''t dancing? 36423 Always a humorist, are n''t you?"
36423And I caught him on the wing, too, did n''t I?
36423And speaking of colts, did you ever know that sometimes a band of horses will take a great fancy to a frisky young colt?
36423And that?
36423And, why not?
36423Anybody want to run a race?
36423Anything encouraging?
36423Anything left?
36423Apples? 36423 Are n''t you glad I do n''t bet?"
36423Are n''t you glad you did n''t eat it up back there in the hermit''s cave?
36423Are the mares getting excited?
36423Are the others with you?
36423Are we allowed to rope if we get the chance?
36423Are we turning off into the desert, did you say?
36423Are you all right?
36423Are you going out, Professor?
36423Are you sure it''s a wild animal, Tad?
36423As I said before, the pony went through a thin crust----"Yes, but Chunky-- what happened to him?
36423As well as you can fight and throw a rope?
36423At what?
36423Bad one, is n''t it?
36423Bud Thomas and the other cowboys are hunting wild horses for market, you know?
36423But Chunky-- where''s Chunky? 36423 But I do n''t understand why they have come all the way across the desert to get into this range?"
36423But how can they tell that, if we are unable to see either one of them weakening?
36423But how will the buzzards know?
36423But is my broncho going to lie here all day?
36423But what about the Angel, eh? 36423 But what if there is n''t any sun-- what if the sky is clouded?"
36423But where did he go?
36423But your clothes? 36423 Ca n''t you see his toes hurt him?"
36423Call that a stream?
36423Can you walk all right, Chunky?
36423Chunky shot at the animal and missed it, did n''t he?
36423Chunky?
36423Coffee?
36423Cyclone, you mean?
36423D- d- d- d- do you thi-- thi-- think they''re going to attack us?
36423Did what?
36423Did you ever notice how animals act before a big storm?
36423Did you ever see a battle of this kind?
36423Did you see me tumble him over?
36423Did''oo hurt''oo little tootsie- wootsies?
36423Do n''t want to join us, do you, kiddie?
36423Do n''t we get any lunch?
36423Do n''t you know what he shot?
36423Do n''t you see it?
36423Do n''t you want them, kiddie?
36423Do we follow the same course when we next start?
36423Do we take a rest at midday, guide?
36423Do you always make a capture?
36423Do you not think we had better wait a little while until it settles?
36423Do you see that?
36423Do you think Satan scented the others?
36423Do you think he sees us?
36423Do you think it is coming this way?
36423Do you think we could catch one of these wild ones to take back East with us?
36423Do you, Tad?
36423Do-- do you think we could catch him?
36423Drowned?
36423Find any?
36423Find anything?
36423For goodness''sake, how much further have we to go?
36423Forgotten what?
36423Gale? 36423 Goodness me, what was that?"
36423Got a cramp?
36423Got anything to eat?
36423Got anything to eat?
36423Got anything to eat?
36423Got money?
36423Guide, where do you think we''ll find our belongings?
36423Has it any particular meaning?
36423Have I?
36423Have n''t we enough water with us?
36423Have you boys filled up?
36423Have you found it?
36423Here, what are you doing? 36423 Hold on; is this a story or a joke?"
36423How about the Angel?
36423How about the apples? 36423 How about the burros?"
36423How about the ponies?
36423How about you, Chunky?
36423How are we going to get any water unless we dip it up with a spoon?
36423How did it happen, kiddie?
36423How did you get in here?
36423How do they know a storm is coming, unless they can see it?
36423How do we know?
36423How do you know that?
36423How do you know, Chunky? 36423 How do you know?"
36423How do you like it, Chunky?
36423How does the bread go?
36423How far do we have to go do you think?
36423How far is Eureka from here?
36423How many of them was there?
36423How many?
36423How much?
36423How would you like some coffee, sir?
36423How?
36423How?
36423Hurt you any, Walt?
36423Hurt you much, lad?
36423I look like a piece of human sandpaper, do n''t I?
36423I presume you want to get some clothes the first thing?
36423I recall having heard of something of the kind in hot countries, and----"Is this a hot country?
36423I suppose there is no water in sight yet?
36423I suppose you know every foot of it-- in fact its every mood, do you not?
36423I wonder if I ought to wake Mr. Parry? 36423 I wonder what has become of Chunky?"
36423I''m burned alive? 36423 In the water?"
36423In what?
36423In where?
36423Indeed?
36423Is he killed, do you think?
36423Is it difficult to catch them?
36423Is it fit to drink?
36423Is it the boys?
36423Is that Master Tad''s mount?
36423Is that a joke?
36423Is that it, Master Stacy?
36423Is the enemy yours?
36423Is there another verse?
36423Is there no town near here where we can get a fresh outfit? 36423 It would be a fine prize to take away with me, now would n''t it?"
36423Know them?
36423Know what that is?
36423Know what you''ve found?
36423Lost the stallions?
36423May we take them back to camp and skin them?
36423Me? 36423 Me?
36423Moods, did you say? 36423 No signs yet?"
36423Not afraid of that? 36423 Now what d''ye think of that, fellows?
36423Now, are n''t you glad you did n''t lose the tootsie- wootsies?
36423Now, who do you think''s got him, hey?
36423Now, will you be good, Ned Rector?
36423One went one way and the other another, did n''t he?
36423Orders?
36423Over your shoulder?
36423Prospecting?
36423S''pose you do n''t know how many there are in the band, eh, kiddie?
36423Saving our lives?
36423Say, Mr. Parry, are n''t you afraid this sunlight will spoil your complexion?
36423Say, can you ride?
36423Say, what''s that?
36423Scared at what?
36423See here, where are you taking me?
36423See that nose?
36423See that patch of ground whiter than the rest off there?
36423See the brutes?
36423Shall we get the guns?
36423Shall we move?
36423Shot?
36423Show me?
36423Sit down?
36423Sun gone to your head, too, Chunky?
36423Surely you do not object to that?
36423Tad could hunt jack rabbits without a dog, could n''t he?
36423That a dare?
36423That-- that ring of light?
36423The boys?
36423The what?
36423The-- the wild man-- say, Tad, he looks like a monkey, does n''t he?
36423Then why not start at once?
36423Then you want us to spread out, as it were, and cover all the territory about here?
36423Then, if we''re so near, why not get out in the open, instead of floundering through these hills?
36423They headed for the mesas, too?
36423Think I want to get pancake feet?
36423Think I''m a camel?
36423Think he''ll try to catch the horse?
36423Think the black can whip him?
36423Think we''d better make our beds and turn in?
36423Twister?
36423Us? 36423 Want them-- want them?"
36423Water? 36423 We saw one of them and the tracks of the rest----""Yes, we-- we-- we saw the white horse----""The Angel?"
36423We wo n''t have no more rough house, leastwise till we get to the San Antone Range, eh?
36423We''d get hungry, would n''t we?
36423Weather-- weather?
36423Well, how about that shade?
36423Well, how many?
36423Well?
36423Were you here then?
36423Wha-- what happened?
36423Wha-- what happened?
36423Wha-- what is it? 36423 Wha-- what was it?"
36423What ails these bronchos?
36423What are we to do for a camp- fire?
36423What are you going to favor us with?
36423What can have become of him?
36423What did you want me to do with them?
36423What do you know about barbed- wire fences?
36423What do you mean?
36423What do you propose doing? 36423 What do you say, Master Tad?"
36423What has happened?
36423What if we should fail to find any?
36423What is it you were going to show Ned?
36423What is it, kiddie?
36423What is it? 36423 What is it?
36423What is it? 36423 What is it?"
36423What is it?
36423What is it?
36423What is it?
36423What is it?
36423What is it?
36423What is it?
36423What is that-- what does it mean, guide?
36423What is the invitation?
36423What kind of an animal was it?
36423What kind of signs?
36423What time do we start in the morning?
36423What time do you think we shall see you back? 36423 What were they doing on the desert?"
36423What you got in your mouth?
36423What''ll we be doing here all the time?
36423What''s all this disturbance about?
36423What''s he doing? 36423 What''s that boy shooting so rapidly for?"
36423What''s that disease they have down south?
36423What''s that?
36423What''s that?
36423What''s that?
36423What''s the matter with Ned and Chunky?
36423What''s the matter with the weather?
36423What''s the matter?
36423What''s the name of the piece?
36423What''s the trouble now?
36423What''s the trouble, my lad?
36423What''s the use in offering any opinions? 36423 What''s this?
36423What, everything gone?
36423What, horses? 36423 What, in my bare feet?"
36423What, with the bunch howling like a pack of coyotes? 36423 What?"
36423What?
36423What?
36423Whe-- when do we join them?
36423When do you start your horse- hunt? 36423 Where are the other fellows?"
36423Where are you, Chunky?
36423Where are your companions, Mr. Rector? 36423 Where do the wild horses congregate?"
36423Where is it, then?
36423Where was it?
36423Where you going?
36423Where''ll we stay, then?
36423Where''s my pants?
36423Where''s the boss?
36423Where''s the desert-- is that it?
36423Where''s the sugar?
36423Where''s the sugar?
36423Where''s the water? 36423 Where''s the water?"
36423Where? 36423 Where?
36423Where?
36423Where?
36423Where?
36423Which means that we go on?
36423Which one?
36423Who is going to shoot?
36423Who, the horses?
36423Why ca n''t they get him?
36423Why ca n''t we all go up there and get a breath of fresh air? 36423 Why ca n''t we shoot at them?"
36423Why did I not think to bring my rope?
36423Why did they not remain on the other side where, I understand, there is plenty of forage?
36423Why do n''t you laugh if you want to? 36423 Why do they do that?"
36423Why do you call him that?
36423Why does n''t he run?
36423Why does n''t he? 36423 Why have you discontinued the shooting?"
36423Why not fly? 36423 Why not keep on all day?"
36423Why not, please?
36423Why not? 36423 Why not?"
36423Why not?
36423Why to- morrow?
36423Why?
36423Wild horses?
36423Will it be necessary for all of us to go?
36423Will that be advisable?
36423Will they fight?
36423Will they fight?
36423Yes, but how do you expect the boys to find their way hack?
36423Yes, what was it?
36423Yes, why do n''t you?
36423Yes; but what if we do?
36423Yes; can we help you?
36423Yes; that''s what I''d like to know?
36423Yes; what''s the matter?
36423You boys think I have gone crazy, do n''t you? 36423 You do n''t mean that we are to drink that stuff, do you?"
36423You have a watch, have you not?
36423You here?
36423You mean the-- the hook- worm disease?
36423You mean they would spoil?
36423You mean you think your broncho carried him off?
36423You want me to hold the leader?
36423You want water?
36423You want water?
36423You would n''t think there were so many pitfalls under this baked desert, would you?
36423You-- you mean we have come upon the wild horses?
36423You-- you want me to go on without you? 36423 A lion?
36423Ai n''t I always thinking when I''m not asleep?"
36423Ai n''t that right hospitable?"
36423All he would have to do would be to look down?"
36423Are you going to make camp?"
36423But come here; I want to talk with you?"
36423But tell me how I am going to get out of the sun?"
36423But where are you going to get it?"
36423By the way, have you seen anything of the other two?"
36423CHAPTER II THE FIRST NIGHT IN CAMP"The desert?"
36423CHAPTER IV THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE"You are not going to ride into town in daylight, are you?"
36423CHAPTER IX THE BOYS DISCOVER A RIVER"Where''s that river you were talking about?"
36423CHAPTER X A COWBOY TAKES A HEADER"What is that?"
36423Call the stuff we get out of the ground here water?"
36423Chunky, help lead those bronchos to the water hole, will you?"
36423Come here and have a drink of water----""Water?
36423Did he say anything that gave you any clue?"
36423Did n''t you hear him breathe when they rode in?"
36423Did n''t you see them?"
36423Did those boys take any food with them?"
36423Did you get them?"
36423Do n''t you hear it roar?
36423Do n''t you see the river right there in front of you?"
36423Do n''t you see what this trail means?"
36423Do n''t you think so?"
36423Do n''t you understand?
36423Do you hear?"
36423Do you see that haze settling down like a fog on the western horizon?"
36423Do you see them?"
36423Do you think so, Professor?"
36423Do you think there''s anything wrong?"
36423Do you want to pull him apart?"
36423Does it taste good?"
36423Eh, kiddie?
36423Ever see a hoss fight?"
36423Find us?
36423Get him too, did you say?"
36423Got anything to eat in your pocket?"
36423Have n''t we?"
36423Have you any idea where we are?"
36423Have you any idea?"
36423He''ll give you all the exercise you want----""Hey, Bud, ai n''t it''bout time we were moseying?"
36423Hear that?"
36423How did he save them?"
36423How did you ever do it?"
36423How did you get here?"
36423How did you happen to come up?"
36423How in the world did it happen?"
36423How long before we shall strike the range where we are to join them?"
36423Hungry, any of you?"
36423I do n''t see any water?"
36423I guess the bunch of horse- hunters made quite a hole in our fodder, did n''t they?"
36423I presume that''s the purpose of your visit here?"
36423I presume want something to eat first, do n''t you?"
36423I shall have to give you up----""What do you think has become of those ponies?"
36423I suppose there is more or less peril in these wild hunts?"
36423I take it, you boys would not care to be without water?"
36423I think, Chunky, that we can both work to better advantage if we separate----""What, you want to get rid of me so soon?"
36423I thought they were with you a moment ago?"
36423I wonder if he''s a hermit?
36423I''ll ask how?
36423Is n''t that matter enough?"
36423Is n''t the bacon all right?"
36423Is that it?"
36423Know the Nevada Desert?
36423Master Stacy, will you run to the camp and bring the folding buckets?
36423Ned, will you and Walt fix something for the boys to eat?
36423Now would n''t it be fine to have a rainstorm?"
36423Now, Masters Tad and Ned, you understand what you are to do?"
36423Parry?"
36423Parry?"
36423Parry?"
36423Parry?"
36423Parry?"
36423Parry?"
36423Parry?"
36423Parry?"
36423Parry?"
36423Parry?"
36423Parry?"
36423Parry?"
36423Parry?"
36423Please tell me where I can find some?"
36423Rector?"
36423Say, got the trail on your side there?
36423See that dark hole?"
36423See this trail?"
36423Shall I take your rifle, Chunky?
36423Stevens?"
36423Stevens?"
36423Stop that, will you?"
36423Tell me how you got here?
36423That is, if you can find the way?"
36423There are none here?"
36423Think I could let you boys go off with a couple of guns to hunt wild animals?
36423Think I hurt the floor when I hit it, Tad?"
36423Understand?"
36423Want me to leave you here to-- Say, Tad, do you think I''m that kind of a coyote?
36423Want some water?
36423Water?
36423Water?"
36423We----""Say, Professor, who''s running this side show?"
36423Were you there, too?"
36423What are they going to do?"
36423What are you trying to do?"
36423What did you have them off for?"
36423What do you know''bout it?
36423What do you say, Tad?"
36423What do you think the hermit intends to do?
36423What does it mean?"
36423What else could it be?"
36423What is it?"
36423What is it?"
36423What of that?"
36423What on earth have you got your clothes off for?"
36423What time is it?"
36423What''s that?
36423What''s the answer?"
36423What''s the matter?"
36423What''s this?"
36423When you going to join us, Parry?"
36423Where did you leave them?"
36423Where do you want to race to?"
36423Where you headed?"
36423Where''d you get them?"
36423Where''s the camp?"
36423Where''s the kiddie?
36423Where?"
36423Where?"
36423Which was it?"
36423Who ever heard of such a thing?"
36423Why did n''t we think to bring a camera with us?"
36423Why do n''t you go on and win the race?"
36423Why not?"
36423You mean you''re going to let us help you?"
36423You saw him master the bucker the other day in the mountains?"
36423You say they were howling and woke you up?"
36423You will notice, by examining these hoofprints carefully, that the weight of the animal is thrown more on the toe----""How do you know that?"
36423You''re the little coyote what roped my pony and plunked me into the street back in Eureka, ai n''t you?"
46920A dog? 46920 A dog?"
46920A gnome?
46920A guide?
46920A mile?
46920A post office?
46920A rope tied to your ankle, eh?
46920About what?
46920About what?
46920About where are we now?
46920And that I said the man struck the dog from behind the rock on the left- hand side of the trail?
46920And what will you be doing?
46920Are we all right side up with care once more?
46920Are we going to take him back to camp or must I sit on him all the rest of the night?
46920Are you after Chops?
46920Are you all agreed on this, boys?
46920Are you going back?
46920Are you going down there to see what he has been doing?
46920Are you going to leave the weapons of those men here, Tad?
46920Are you going to try to get into the cabin?
46920Are you lying in the water?
46920Are you sure, Tad?
46920Are you there?
46920Are you there?
46920Are you trying to locate a vein of ore, too?
46920Billy, did you bring that bundle of dry sticks for kindling the fire?
46920Boys,called the Professor coming to the door of the store,"did you know this is a post office?"
46920But did n''t the man say we could have whatever we wanted?
46920But how do you know?
46920But if you wo n''t answer questions why should you expect it of us?
46920But the rest of them?
46920But to return to what I was saying, are you going to behave yourself tonight?
46920But what are we going to do?
46920But what became of the dog?
46920But why?
46920But, what have the men in mind?
46920But-- but, where is the dog?
46920Ca n''t you guess, Ned?
46920Can you sing?
46920Chunky?
46920Come far?
46920Did n''t we eat them for dinner?
46920Did you discover anything, Tad?
46920Did you dream that you were living in marble halls?
46920Did you ever see a ghost, Chops?
46920Did you find water?
46920Did you get drowned?
46920Did you get wet, Chops?
46920Did you hear about the three- legged rat and our black cat?
46920Did you know we had a visitor in this camp tonight?
46920Do I look as if I had twenty biscuit inside of me?
46920Do n''t you hear that noise?
46920Do n''t you know?
46920Do they ever bother you here in your camp or at your work?
46920Do you admit it?
46920Do you admit your failings?
46920Do you deny it, then?
46920Do you gentlemen live in these parts?
46920Do you hear that noise?
46920Do you know if the wireless plant is in the cabin?
46920Do you know of any place hereabouts where we might climb up the side of the pass?
46920Do you know the critter?
46920Do you mean that, Ned Rector?
46920Do you mean to say you did n''t run away from me?
46920Do you surrender?
46920Do you want to run away and leave me, too? 46920 Do you want to write letters, too, Billy?"
46920Do you wish me to follow the trail, Professor?
46920Do-- do they hang dog thieves down in this country?
46920Does this tell you anything?
46920Especially if you had been eating pumpkin pies, eh?
46920First, may I ask who you are?
46920Fog?
46920For goodness''sake, what is he trying to do?
46920Gold? 46920 Got anything for Hans tonight?"
46920Got anything that looks like food in this outfit?
46920Got everything fixed?
46920Guide, do you think you would be able to lead us to this spot again were we desirous of returning here?
46920Guide, is n''t there a higher and drier place that we can get to?
46920Guide, is there any place below here where we can make a dry landing?
46920Have you seen anything of Walter and the Professor?
46920Have you seen either of these men of late?
46920Have you struck anything yet?
46920Help myself? 46920 His game?"
46920Hm- m- m. What would you suggest?
46920How about Jonah?
46920How about it, Chops?
46920How about you, Chops? 46920 How can that be?"
46920How d''ye know?
46920How do we know you are an officer?
46920How do you spell torrent, with one or two r''s?
46920How far is it to the rise?
46920How far is that from here?
46920How far is''right smart,''Chops?
46920How far, how far?
46920How far?
46920How many?
46920How''s that for record time, Smoky?
46920How''s that?
46920How-- how do you know?
46920How?
46920I did n''t say he would not come back, did I? 46920 I did n''t say what kind of a bird, did I?"
46920I do n''t think it''s going to storm, do you, Chops?
46920I guess I nearly forgot myself, did n''t I?
46920I reckon you are n''t friends of his?
46920I wonder if Ned has followed after me? 46920 I wonder if there are any more like him in these parts?"
46920I''ve nothing more to say?
46920I-- I use slang?
46920If I knew I would n''t be asking you, would I?
46920If I promise I have to, do n''t I?
46920If he''d said''yassir, nassir,''that would mean that he had not, would n''t it?
46920If you do n''t mind, I wish you would tie our friend here--"But, how did he get loose?
46920If, sir, you are able to pick up such stones as this on this Ridge why do you waste your time in seeking for gold?
46920In a woodchuck trap?
46920In front of your tent?
46920Is he anything like his name?
46920Is he going to bring the other man out soon?
46920Is it possible that the dog continued to follow the man?
46920Is it possible that you are getting frisky? 46920 Is it possible?"
46920Is n''t it fine to have a guide who agrees with everything you say?
46920Is the prisoner well secured?
46920Is this the Trolleychucky here at our feet, Professor?
46920Is-- is that my crowd?
46920Is-- is there any danger to the boys?
46920It is a deer''s foot, is n''t it?
46920It is understood, then, that Smoky is to remain with us until morning?
46920Leave these mountains? 46920 Let him alone, ca n''t you?"
46920Like Chunky, for instance?
46920Make of it? 46920 May I ask who the man is?"
46920Maybe you would n''t mind looking at some pay dirt for us?
46920Might we ask who you gentlemen are?
46920Mighty perk today, ai n''t ye?
46920Mr. Abs, when we are off yonder by that rise of ground you wake him up, will you?
46920My man,broke in Professor Zepplin, with extreme dignity,"will you be good enough to explain just what your business is?"
46920My, but he''s touchy, is n''t he?
46920Ned, have you got Smoky?
46920No? 46920 None of my business, eh?"
46920Nonsense? 46920 Not going to try it, are you?"
46920Now about this man Stillman?
46920Now just what do you want to say to us?
46920Now seeing you are an oracle, what would it have meant had the rat been running through the clover without any legs at all? 46920 Now what do you see?"
46920Now where''s your black cat?
46920Now, Chops, what did this particular spook look like?
46920Of what?
46920Others, sir?
46920Over the chuck?
46920Professor, are we on a government reservation?
46920Professor, what do you make of this?
46920Put him out, why do n''t you?
46920Ready, Butler?
46920Run away from you?
46920Say, Mister, where''s the Corners?
46920Say, Tad, do you know who did this thing?
46920Say, that fellow did n''t take his revolver, did he?
46920Say, you folks better make camp here with us and kind of make this a headquarters, had n''t you?
46920Say? 46920 Seen anything of that Pony Rider outfit?"
46920Short- winded, eh?
46920Six pies?
46920Smoky Bald? 46920 Smoky, have you had enough?"
46920Stacy, are you tied by the ankle also?
46920Stacy, what was this man trying to do to you?
46920Suppose we discuss that?
46920Surely, you do n''t think I would do a trick like that, Professor?
46920Tad, how do you translate it?
46920Tad, what sort of person was he? 46920 That is n''t a very honest view to take, Stacy,"teased Butler,"Honest?"
46920That roaring?
46920The dog?
46920Then what''s the matter with you?
46920Then why do n''t you say so?
46920Then why do n''t you? 46920 They have?
46920They? 46920 Think Beach is on the level?"
46920Two miles?
46920Was that one last night a single or a double r''d one?
46920Was-- was he the ghost- man?
46920We certainly do, do n''t we, Chunky?
46920Well, does n''t that beat all?
46920Well, what of it?
46920Well, what was your dream?
46920Well, which is it?
46920Well, which is it?
46920Well, you came back with a whole skin, did you?
46920Well?
46920Were you full?
46920Wha''you want me sing?
46920Wha-- what is it?
46920Wha-- what''s the matter? 46920 What about Hans?"
46920What about me?
46920What are we going to do now?
46920What are we going to do, shoot them down and get strung up for it? 46920 What are you goin''t''do?"
46920What can it be?
46920What did I tell you?
46920What did the three blind men and the one- eyed horse do?
46920What did you do?
46920What did you see?
46920What do you boys wish to do?
46920What do you make of it, Jay?
46920What do you make of it, sir?
46920What do you mean by that?
46920What do you mean?
46920What do you mean?
46920What do you mean?
46920What do you propose to do?
46920What do you say, boys?
46920What do you think it is?
46920What do you think?
46920What do you wish us to do?
46920What does a debt amount to between friends?
46920What does it mean, then?
46920What does the guide say?
46920What for? 46920 What happened to you, by the way?"
46920What have you decided to do, Professor?
46920What is he doing?
46920What is it, Ned?
46920What is it, Tad?
46920What is it?
46920What is it?
46920What is it?
46920What is it?
46920What is it?
46920What is the meaning of this?
46920What is the news?
46920What is your name?
46920What kind am I?
46920What kind?
46920What makes you think that?
46920What other motive could he have?
46920What place?
46920What shall I say?
46920What sort of looking man is Stillman?
46920What was the reason?
46920What were you trying to do, Professor?
46920What would you suggest?
46920What''s going on here?
46920What''s he been doing to you?
46920What''s that you say?
46920What''s the matter with his having a plant of his own?
46920What''s this? 46920 What, what''s that?"
46920What, you ate a Pomeranian dog?
46920What, you here yet?
46920What? 46920 What?"
46920Where are the others?
46920Where are they?
46920Where are they?
46920Where are you going?
46920Where are you looking?
46920Where are you?
46920Where do the preserves end and where do they begin?
46920Where do they live?
46920Where do you fellows reckon you are going?
46920Where do you live?
46920Where is he? 46920 Where is he?"
46920Where is the guide?
46920Where may he be reached?
46920Where ye hail from?
46920Where''s my party?
46920Where, where you going?
46920Where?
46920Where?
46920Who are the other three?
46920Who are you?
46920Who are you?
46920Who did it, then?
46920Who do you think it was, Tad?
46920Who is Jonah?
46920Who is the other man who is with him?
46920Who was the man who recommended Chops to you, Professor?
46920Who would have thought him to be so near human?
46920Who, Smoke Griffin?
46920Who-- what?
46920Who-- who-- who?
46920Who?
46920Why do n''t you blame me, while you are about it?
46920Why do n''t you get a telephone?
46920Why do you prefer to go down rather than upstream?
46920Why do you say there is no need to follow the trail, Tad?
46920Why do you stir him up so?
46920Why do you want to remind me of it every time? 46920 Why not set fire to the cabin and smoke them out?"
46920Why so? 46920 Why wo n''t it?
46920Why, I thought you had decided that the ghost did it?
46920Why-- why, what makes you think that?
46920Why?
46920Why?
46920Writin''letters?
46920Yassir?
46920Yassir?
46920Yassir?
46920Yes, but what did the rat look like?
46920Yes, but where is the canned stuff? 46920 Yes, why do n''t we?"
46920Yes, yes?
46920Yes?
46920Yes?
46920You ate a whole Pomeranian?
46920You do?
46920You dreamed? 46920 You have n''t heard them find any fault, have you?"
46920You have?
46920You saw something?
46920You shot him, eh?
46920You think so?
46920You will remember that the dog was running south when he was struck on the rock where we found the blood?
46920You wo n''t what?
46920You''re a cheerful idiot, are n''t you, Chops?
46920You''re not like Mrs. Snedeker-- you know Mrs. Snedeker in Chillicothe?
46920You''ve been shooting on government property?
46920You-- you do n''t think it was one of the outfit down in the gulch, do you?
46920Your authority-- what is your authority?
46920A wireless outfit on Smoky Bald, eh?
46920Am I right in thus supposing?"
46920Am I tied to Chops, Professor?"
46920Anything else?"
46920Are there many others in here on similar quests?"
46920Are you going to camp there in your saddles?"
46920Are you going to help me get up?"
46920Are you hurt?"
46920Are you ready, Professor?"
46920Are you ready, boys?"
46920Are you sure you know where it is, Billy?"
46920But is n''t he the Jonah?"
46920But the question is, what hit me?
46920But why wait until morning?"
46920But you will be careful, wo n''t you?"
46920By the way, Professor, how about the stores?
46920CHAPTER V EXCITEMENT AT HUNT''S CORNERS"Is this another of those cry- baby songs?"
46920CHAPTER XI-- AN INTERRUPTED JOURNEY"Where is that guide?"
46920CHAPTER XII FACING NEW OBSTACLES"Leave the Ridge?"
46920CHAPTER XV-- THE GHOST OF THE TULIP GLADE"Do I look as if I had twenty biscuit inside of me?"
46920Ca n''t you take a joke?"
46920Can we get paper here?
46920Can you shoot?"
46920Chops knows what a gnome is, do n''t you, Chops?"
46920Chops, did you see any spooks?"
46920Did he not surprise us with waffles and syrup?"
46920Did n''t you know that?"
46920Did n''t you see the gnomes sitting on a rock, Chops, and did n''t they make faces at you because you were running away?"
46920Did they have biscuit in their mouths, Chops?"
46920Did you ever eat on a wager, Chops?"
46920Did you get wise to the foxiness of those fellows?
46920Do I still understand you to persist that we are on a government preserve?"
46920Do n''t you say so, Chops?"
46920Do n''t you think I have trouble enough without having to worry over my debts all the while?"
46920Do n''t you think it''s going to storm, Chops?"
46920Do n''t you think we know how to run a trail?"
46920Do you know how the colored people catch alligators down there?"
46920Do you like bugs?"
46920Do you want me to rope you some more?"
46920Does he bark at every sound?"
46920Does n''t that prove it?"
46920Dunkan?"
46920Dunkan?"
46920Gold?
46920Gold?"
46920Guide, do you know of a store anywhere near here?"
46920Guide, has anyone, to your knowledge, discovered gold hereabouts?"
46920Has he discovered me?"
46920Has n''t that lazy guide returned yet, boys?"
46920Have I your promise that you will do so?"
46920Have you any suspicion that the mysterious visitor played the trick on us?"
46920Have you saved any from your packs?"
46920He did catch me napping, did n''t he?"
46920He is in it, too, eh?
46920He yells-- could you blame him?
46920Help myself?"
46920How did he look?"
46920How do they know but we are still hanging around here?"
46920How far below?"
46920How far is that from here?"
46920I wonder what it means?"
46920I wonder who the victim was to be?"
46920I would have done it last night, but--""But what?"
46920I''ve been chased out of bed by a ghost, shot at by a spook, hauled out of bed by the ankles by a band of gnomes, and--""Well, what else?"
46920If I dream I ca n''t help that, can I?"
46920Is it so interesting as all that, Professor?"
46920Is n''t truth seemly?"
46920Is that plain enough?"
46920Is that what you mean?"
46920Is that where the other man claims to have found pay dirt?"
46920Is there a government officer anywhere within reach?"
46920Is there water down in the gully yonder, guide?"
46920Is-- is it another tree?"
46920Kid, what do you think that wireless outfit way up here means?"
46920Know him?"
46920Leave me up here in this tree?"
46920More signals?"
46920Must I explain everything to you?
46920No one else in there, is there, Batts?"
46920Nonsense?
46920Now what?"
46920Now, guide, where is this store that you know about?"
46920Of course, but--""Then, what are you growling about?"
46920On their way to Smoky Bald?"
46920Professor, are we going to stand for any more of this foolishness?"
46920Professor, will you stay here while we take the trail?"
46920See anything?"
46920See here, Chops, shall we be able to reach there before dark if we start out right away?"
46920Shall I give the orders, sir?"
46920Shall I pass the rope around you?"
46920Shall we move?"
46920Sounds kind of romantic, does n''t it?"
46920Surely, you did n''t do anything like this?"
46920Tad, will you liberate the prisoner?"
46920That was some climb, was n''t it?"
46920The kids do n''t seem to mind him, do they?"
46920The real question is, what has become of my companions?"
46920Then you think he has no other motive in desiring to keep persons away from here?"
46920Then, if we wanted to get out of this pass, and could neither go up nor downstream, what would you do, Billy?"
46920They threw him over, did n''t they?"
46920Want a bit of lemon in it?"
46920Was n''t it time to laugh?"
46920Was n''t the rope put there to fall over?"
46920Wha-- what is it?"
46920What an excellent opinion we have of ourselves, eh?"
46920What are we going to do with this fellow, Professor?"
46920What became of your pony?"
46920What business?"
46920What did I tell you?"
46920What do you see down there?"
46920What do you think I am, a baby?
46920What do you think we had better do with him?"
46920What do you think, Professor?"
46920What do you want?"
46920What is it?
46920What is your plan?"
46920What shall we do, leave the dog here?"
46920What''ll I do?"
46920What''s the matter?"
46920What''s this?"
46920Where did you think the sound came from?"
46920Where have you been?"
46920Where is, the guide?"
46920Where''d you get them?"
46920Where''s the rest of the crowd?"
46920Which shall it be?"
46920Who will take the watch?"
46920Whose rope is that?"
46920Why are you hanging back?"
46920Why did you fellows run away from me this afternoon?"
46920Why do you insist upon this?"
46920Why should we leave here until we have finished our journey?"
46920Why?"
46920Will you get off and have a snack with us?"
46920Will you go with me and show me the way?
46920Will you stand aside and permit us to go our way?"
46920Would you like to be introduced to a ghost?"
46920Yes?"
46920You are quite sure you did n''t help yourself?"
46920You did not observe anything familiar about the man, you say?"
46920You reckon to give me orders?"
46920You see how rapidly the water is rising?"
46920mocked Stacy,"What am I going to do if I dream of blind horses and black cats?"
12980''Possum hunt?
12980A fellow''s got to die some time, has n''t he?
12980A what?
12980Afraid of the snake, eh, Bugs?
12980All tired out, eh, Tad?
12980And he wo n''t die till his time comes, will he?
12980Another case of being buried alive, eh?
12980Any mosquitoes there?
12980Any of the rest of you kiddies been wounded in the fracas?
12980Anything doing, Cap?
12980Anything else you cayuses reckon you want?
12980Are the other two holding the bags open?
12980Are you from these parts?
12980Are you from these parts?
12980Are you going to brag about yourself?
12980Are you going to take his rifle?
12980Are you hit?
12980Are you hurt?
12980Are you in need of sleep?
12980Are you much hurt?
12980Are you ready for a fight?
12980Are you sure?
12980Are you trying to make sport of me?
12980Are you welchers? 12980 Bring any''possum for breakfast?"
12980But ai n''t you going to clean out that camp?
12980But what about this assault on my boys?
12980But what are we going to do with him, boys?
12980But what do you propose to do?
12980But which one was it? 12980 But you will take Tucker with you, will you not?"
12980But you''re going to?
12980But, will they not come back again?
12980But--- what does it mean?
12980By the way, when shall we see your men?
12980Ca n''t I say what I''ve got to say?
12980Ca n''t you let a fellow sleep?
12980Can we stand for any more remarks, boys?
12980Can you see to let them have a few shots into the ground to hurry them along?
12980Captain Billy?
12980Captain McKay, how much of this sort of thing shall we have to face?
12980Chunky, are you going to get busy and help settle this camp?
12980Come, are you going to get started tonight?
12980Come, fellows, are you going to strike camp while I clear away the breakfast things?
12980Confess?
12980Di--- did I wing the professor?
12980Did I?
12980Did behave a scar on his left ear lobe?
12980Did have what?
12980Did he hit it?
12980Did he?
12980Did my men say where they were going before they left you this morning?
12980Did this--- this perfesser get his orders from Bill McKay?
12980Did what?
12980Did what?
12980Did you come out to pick up that trail, sir?
12980Did you draw them out?
12980Did you see something?
12980Did you think that was myself tied up there?
12980Discovered you?
12980Do all of you shoot like that?
12980Do n''t we get any breakfast?
12980Do n''t you like it?
12980Do n''t you think the rascals have a hiding place there where they evaded us so neatly?
12980Do n''t you understand yet?
12980Do we move to- night, sir?
12980Do we start, or do we remain here, Professor?
12980Do you hear?
12980Do you sleep in your skin?
12980Do you want to be killed?
12980Do you withdraw the flippant words you used to a member of this august body?
12980Does it make any particular difference to you which way I whirl?
12980Done? 12980 Down here for your health?"
12980Eh? 12980 Ever think of joining the army yourself, Tad?"
12980Explain what you mean?
12980Funny, is n''t it? 12980 G--- g--- g--- got away?"
12980Going to leave a bag here?
12980Got a smack for a hungry man?
12980Got their rifles with them?
12980H--- ho--- how?
12980Has Tucker really escaped?
12980Have I? 12980 Have n''t you?"
12980Have you found what you came out here for?
12980Have you the map, Professor?
12980Have you?
12980Have--- have you looked in your pockets?
12980He did, eh?
12980How about it up there?
12980How about it, Professor?
12980How about that''possum, Chunky?
12980How about the rest of you?
12980How are we to know that you are the captain in person?
12980How comes it that you feared we were Rangers then, if this be true?
12980How could we expect to hide ourselves in there so completely that a mountaineer would not find us? 12980 How did he save them?"
12980How did they happen to discover you?
12980How do you know that I was thinking of such a thing?
12980How do you mean?
12980How long do I stay here?
12980How many Rangers did behave with him?
12980How many are in your party?
12980How many?
12980How so?
12980How''d you know that?
12980How''s Captain Billy?
12980How''s the going?
12980Hullo, did you drive out any''possum?
12980I am an American citizen, and you have no right to question my loy-----"There, there, Professor, do n''t you know Chunky by this time? 12980 I did n''t kill you, did I?"
12980I have wondered why you have not enlisted and gone to France, you and your men? 12980 I said what is your name?"
12980I thought I told you to stay back, young man?
12980I understand my men picked up a fellow named Dunk Tucker a night ago?
12980I was about to ask if you look to spend most of your time in the mountains here?
12980I wonder if the watch was running?
12980I''m a regular William Tell, eh?
12980I''m glad of it,called Tad,"for---""What''s that?
12980I--- I could hit a German, could n''t I?
12980I--- I''ve--- what?
12980In the Rangers?
12980Is Tad all right?
12980Is it possible?
12980Is n''t this the place where we were shot at last night?
12980Is that the way you have been taught to pack your pony, sir?
12980Is there any danger of our having difficulties with any of this fellow''s companions?
12980Is there any objection to my giving the ruffian a good hard kick for luck?
12980Is this right?
12980Is this the Guadalupe range?
12980Is--- is something wrong?
12980Joe Withem, eh?
12980Know Joe Withem?
12980Like it? 12980 Look here, what are you trying to get at, young man?"
12980Look here, what have you got up your sleeve, Stacy?
12980Matter? 12980 May we go along and help?"
12980McKay there?
12980Men? 12980 My rifle?"
12980Now tell me what your plan is?
12980Now what?
12980Now will you drop that pistol?
12980Now, sir, perhaps you will explain who and what this man is? 12980 Of Captain McKay''s band?"
12980Of course, with the understanding, Captain, that you will see that we are properly protected?
12980Oh, am I?
12980On guard?
12980One of them scientific shooters, eh?
12980Pardon me, but will you be good enough to tell me where you got this rifle? 12980 Perhaps you will explain why your men ran away from us the other night, sir?"
12980Plainly, what is it you are planning to do, Tad?
12980Professor, do n''t you think we had better make camp and take a rest?
12980Rangers? 12980 Rangers?"
12980Say, do you fellows sleep in your hats as well as wash and eat in them?
12980See anything funny?
12980Shall we take him along for you? 12980 Shoot, shoot, why do n''t you?"
12980Shot?
12980So what''s the use in dodging? 12980 So, that was what you were looking at?"
12980So, you''re the fellow who potted me twice to- day, are you?
12980Sorry for what?
12980Speaking of danger, you do n''t suppose these men will come back and visit our camp, do you?
12980Surely these men have not resorted to force--- committed murder or anything of that sort?
12980Tad, will you be good enough to explain what this means?
12980Tenderfeet? 12980 The band or the man?"
12980The bugs?
12980The man Tucker is safe behind the bars, is he not?
12980The question is, what are we going to do with this fellow, Tad?
12980The what?
12980The which?
12980Then he shall be washed clean so that he may take a fresh start?
12980Then we will camp there to- night?
12980Then you only sought to drive us off?
12980Then you think we shall find our man there?
12980Then you''ll let me out?
12980Then you--- you talked with him?
12980To what?
12980Tried to shoot you up? 12980 Try what?"
12980Twelve, was n''t it, boys?
12980Watching you?
12980We rather turned the tables on you, did n''t we?
12980Well, Professor, what do you say?
12980Well, is n''t he the cold- blooded fish?
12980Well, now, what do you think of that?
12980Well, sir, what is it? 12980 Well, what do you think of that?"
12980Well, what do you think of that?
12980Well, what happened?
12980Well, what have you learned?
12980Well, what if we are?
12980Well, what is it?
12980Well?
12980Wha--- what are they doing?
12980Wha--- what are you going to do?
12980Wha--- what are you going to do?
12980Wha--- what do you mean, Tad?
12980Wha--- what''s the matter?
12980Wha--- what''s up?
12980What are we going to do about Chunky?
12980What are you doing here?
12980What are you going to do?
12980What are you going to do?
12980What became of him, sir?
12980What chance?
12980What did Bill McKay reckon you would do down here?
12980What do I do?
12980What do you mean?
12980What do you mean?
12980What do you say, fellows?
12980What do you suppose is in that chest?
12980What do you think of our prisoner, Professor?
12980What do you think this fellow is trying to do?
12980What do you think?
12980What does it mean? 12980 What does it mean?"
12980What for?
12980What has the man Tucker done?
12980What have you done?
12980What is it you want me to tell you?
12980What is it?
12980What is queer, Tad?
12980What is your name, my man?
12980What kind of a surprise?
12980What matter?
12980What now?
12980What situation, Professor?
12980What was he trying to get you to tell him?
12980What was it you think they had up their sleeves?
12980What would you suggest, sir?
12980What you doing here?
12980What''d we better do with him, fellows?
12980What''d you let me sleep for?
12980What''s bag- baiting''possum?
12980What''s that to you, old Whiskers?
12980What''s that? 12980 What''s that?"
12980What''s that?
12980What''s the matter with that horse?
12980What''s the matter with those fool cayuses?
12980What''s the rest?
12980What''s the row about? 12980 What''s the trouble, Stacy?"
12980What''s your name?
12980What, did you catch any?
12980What, ride out there to be shot up again?
12980What, sit here while a band of bandits are perhaps murdering Lieutenant Withem? 12980 What, you a Ranger?"
12980What--- what--- who did that?
12980What? 12980 When did you come in?"
12980Where are their headquarters--- in these mountains?
12980Where are they?
12980Where are we going to make camp, Professor?
12980Where are you fellows going?
12980Where are you going?
12980Where are you going?
12980Where did they take the prisoner? 12980 Where do I go?"
12980Where do you want to carry him?
12980Where is Tad?
12980Where is it coming from?
12980Where is the fat boy?
12980Where is your horse?
12980Where was he?
12980Where you from?
12980Where''s the other one?
12980Where--- where is this bad man supposed to hide himself?
12980Where?
12980Which direction did they take?
12980Which one played that low- down trick on us?
12980Which way are you going?
12980Which way?
12980Who are the Rangers, anyway?
12980Who are they?
12980Who are you?
12980Who are you?
12980Who be you?
12980Who can put a hole through my sombrero?
12980Who did you think we were?
12980Who do you think we are?
12980Who is your commander?
12980Who is your party?
12980Who threw me in?
12980Who was it you was to look up?
12980Who''s doing this shooting, you or I?
12980Why ca n''t we get lost?
12980Why did you shoot at us?
12980Why do n''t you use dynamite in the biscuit while you are about it? 12980 Why impossible?"
12980Why not stop then before they do get you?
12980Why, what can it mean?
12980Why--- why--- the--- the constable came up in a buggy, do n''t you see? 12980 Will he be here before we leave?"
12980Will you go peaceably or must we drag you?
12980Will you please explain?
12980Will your captain be there?
12980Yes, but then why did he run away from it?
12980Yes, sir?
12980Yes, why not?
12980You are Butler, are n''t you?
12980You are n''t throwing your matches on the floor, are you?
12980You are not afraid?
12980You are not the fellows who came in at State Line the other day, are you?
12980You are sure you are not badly hurt?
12980You can make the prisoner confess, can you not?
12980You did n''t happen to meet with any of the Rangers this morning, did you?
12980You do n''t suppose it possibly could be the Germans attacking us, do you?
12980You heard about my getting shot, did n''t you?
12980You heard something?
12980You mean that you want to stay here after we''ve gone?
12980You mean where they hide?
12980You think we shall be able to assist you?
12980You two younkers caught that man?
12980You will remain with us to- night, of course?
12980You would like to meet Captain McKay?
12980You''re not going to show the white feather, are you?
12980You''ve got him now? 12980 You--- you are--- are Captain McKay?"
12980''Bugs''been causing us all this trouble?"
12980A broad smile grew on the face of the Pony Rider Boy as he asked:"What do you reckon you want here?"
12980And now once more, are you going to let me go?"
12980And you boys put the bandits on the run, eh?"
12980And you?"
12980And--- say, why did n''t you fellows wake me up?"
12980Anybody else want his hat transformed into a sieve?"
12980Anybody else want to try to put a hole through my hat?"
12980Anybody with you?"
12980Are n''t you?"
12980Are we going to squeal?
12980Are you all agreed on getting across the river if we can make it?"
12980Are you all ready?"
12980Are you going to cut me loose, or am I to stay tied to this tree for the rest of the night?"
12980Are you informed as to that?"
12980Are you ready, Ned?"
12980Are you ready?"
12980Boys, what shall be done with it?"
12980But how did you get him?"
12980But we''re going to get out of it, Stacy---""Yes, but how?"
12980But what are we going to do if we find him?"
12980But what for?"
12980But what if that fellow heard me?
12980But what''s that got to do with you and me?"
12980But what''s the use speculating about it?
12980But will there not be danger in our remaining here?"
12980By the way, Gregg, what are they doing?"
12980By the way, how much farther is it to the mountains?"
12980By the way, you''re Brown, are n''t you?"
12980CHAPTER XI BAG- BAITING THE''POSSUMS"Guess you fellows are forgetting about that''possum hunt?"
12980CHAPTER XIX SURROUNDING THE ENEMY"What''s that?"
12980Ca n''t you take your medicine without squealing?"
12980Ca n''t you understand English?"
12980Did I run away when the shooting was going on last night?
12980Did you know this fellow took another shot at Chunky?"
12980Do I try that shot again?"
12980Do n''t you know I''ve been shot?"
12980Do n''t you see I am?"
12980Do n''t you see this wound on my countenance?
12980Do we take our arms?"
12980Do you know what they would do to us if they caught us here, Chunky?"
12980Do you know, Tad, I''m thinking you and I are biting off a bigger mouthful than we will know how to chew?"
12980Do you see what you did?"
12980Do you think Willie will overlook that?
12980Do you think we are going to wait here all day for you?"
12980Do you understand?"
12980Do you understand?"
12980Do you understand?"
12980Do you understand?"
12980Do you wish to go along?"
12980Eh?
12980Even if there were, what good would it have done the men?
12980Ever go bag- baiting for''possum?"
12980Got a''possum for breakfast?"
12980Got any objections?"
12980Got your matches?"
12980Have you forgotten your own story?"
12980Have you looked to see if there''s anything to eat in this hole?"
12980How about it, Professor?"
12980How about you, Chunky?"
12980How did he happen to get you that way, Professor?"
12980How do you do it?"
12980How is it with you?"
12980How long we going to stay in here this time?"
12980How were these outlaws going to get out?
12980I can---""Look here, are you going to make that shot, Chunky?"
12980I suppose he pumped you gentlemen pretty thoroughly?"
12980I suppose you do not know who the gentleman is whom you entertained?"
12980I wonder if they got bitten much?
12980I wonder if we can weight that tree down so the roots will stay up in the air?"
12980Is that clear, Dunk?"
12980Is there any town near here?"
12980It''s only a flesh wound---""Is--- is he shot?"
12980Know where Doble''s Spring is?"
12980Looks like you wuz, hey?"
12980McKay?"
12980Ned, can you cut down a couple of saplings?"
12980Not Captain McKay, the leader of the Rangers?"
12980Now what''s your orders?"
12980Now--- now was n''t that hard luck?"
12980Once more they sat down with a captain, but the same thought was in the mind of each--- who was the first man who had passed as Captain McKay?
12980Perhaps you may beat us all, who knows?"
12980Professor, are you much hurt?"
12980Professor, can you get under way at once?"
12980Say, will you get wise to the dude with the red necktie?"
12980Shall we get some supper now?"
12980So he thinks we are Rangers?"
12980Some friend of yours, I suppose?"
12980Speaking of eating that reminds me of a story---""Will some one please muzzle the fat boy?"
12980Suppose we lie off for an hour?"
12980Surely you are not going on to- night?"
12980Tad, will you tell the captain how you came to capture the man Tucker?"
12980That is your name, is it not?"
12980Then the other man did not?"
12980Then we would be in a fine fix, should n''t we?"
12980There are plenty of Germans in Mexico, so why not some of them up here to stir up trouble?
12980There could n''t be any mistake about that, but what caused him to throw you?"
12980Thought you were shooting up Rangers, did you?
12980Understand?"
12980Understand?"
12980Warm, is n''t it, Ned?"
12980Was that what he shot at?"
12980We have reckoned they had their hang- out here, but we have n''t found it yet""How many are in this band of Border Bandits?"
12980We will fix up a litter--- by the way, fellow, are there any more of your kind fooling about here?"
12980We would n''t be getting out of that hole, right smart, should we, Tad?"
12980What are your orders?"
12980What d''ye think of that, Bugs?"
12980What do you find?"
12980What do you think I am anyway?"
12980What do you think?"
12980What does this mean?"
12980What had the watch to do with their thirst?"
12980What is your name?"
12980What was it?"
12980What was that?"
12980What would you do, Professor?"
12980What you got to say about it, young man?"
12980What''s got into this beastly pinto?"
12980What''s that?"
12980What''s the matter with you?"
12980What''s your idea?"
12980What''s yours?"
12980What, not eat, and with an appetite like mine?
12980When?
12980Where are you folks going?"
12980Where are your men?
12980Where did you learn?"
12980Where is Tad?
12980Where is he?"
12980Where shall we begin?"
12980Where''s the biscuit?"
12980Where?"
12980Which way do you go?"
12980Who and what are you?"
12980Who are you?"
12980Who is Captain Billy?"
12980Who is he?"
12980Who is in charge of you?"
12980Who is it you and your bunch are after?"
12980Who knows but that you may discover something worth while?
12980Who shoots next?"
12980Who were you shooting at the last time?
12980Who would have thought it?
12980Why did you do that?"
12980Why do you ask?"
12980Why do you wish to see the man?"
12980Why, it''s the hottest thing that ever crossed the Staked Plains since the Apaches came down in---""Why do n''t you look the other way then?"
12980Why, that reminds me---""Is Chunky going to tell a story?"
12980Withem?"
12980Wo n''t you join us?
12980Ye be, eh?"
12980You do think now and then, do n''t you?"
12980You fellows thought you''d play a sharp trick on me, eh?"
12980You have n''t got sand enough to---""What, me stay here?"
12980You have no horse?"
12980You here?"
12980You know what that means?"
12980You never heard of bag- baiting?"
12980You observe he has n''t fired a shot since?"
12980You plan to return here to- night?"
12980You probably will be claiming the reward for the capture of Tucker, eh?"
12980You say you took us to be bad men?"
12980You''re all strangers down here, eh?"
12980anything of that rattler around these diggings, Professor?"
45117All sitting tight and snug as a bug in a rug?
45117Am I free?
45117And then?
45117And what are they?
45117And what was the moose doing all this time?
45117And you, Ned?
45117Any word you want to send to the friends at home, in case they hang you?
45117Anything there?
45117Are n''t we going to have any of it for supper?
45117Are we lost?
45117Are you all ready, Tad?
45117Are you hurt?
45117Are-- are my canned peaches gone?
45117Bigger than my stomach? 45117 Blowing?"
45117Brown had killed it?
45117But how could he find us?
45117But how did you do it?
45117But how did you find us?
45117But we may have had our suspicions-- our suspicions, you understand?
45117But we''ll get plenty to eat, wo n''t we?
45117But what are we going to do?
45117But what are you going to fire with it?
45117But what for?
45117But what was that crash we heard?
45117But why does n''t he put the blaze on this side of the trees so we can see them?
45117By the way, where is the justice''s office?
45117Ca n''t eat?
45117Ca n''t go?
45117Can they swim?
45117Can you hold me?
45117Can you make it in two days, Charlie?
45117Charlie John? 45117 Charlie, do you understand now?
45117Charlie, how far are we from a town?
45117Charlie, why do n''t you do something?
45117Chunky, was that your work?
45117Chunky, which way would you go?
45117Cross my palm for five cents?
45117Did Father send any word to me?
45117Did anyone ever see it run uphill?
45117Did he bury the antlers, proposing to return later and get them?
45117Did he feel it?
45117Did he take the antlers?
45117Did n''t I always pay you back everything I borrowed of you?
45117Did n''t look for me just yet, did you?
45117Did n''t think it was a cow, did you?
45117Did n''t you boys ever hear that before?
45117Did n''t you go there today?
45117Did n''t you hear it?
45117Did they?
45117Did you ever hear of Stacy Brown being scared? 45117 Did you find it?"
45117Did you get any honey?
45117Did you see him?
45117Did you turn the ankle?
45117Did your guide, Cale Vaughn, approve of what had been done?
45117Do n''t care about breakfast?
45117Do n''t you ever think of anything but something to eat?
45117Do n''t you feel the least bit disappointed that you are not on that train yonder?
45117Do n''t you know?
45117Do n''t you see we have got to do something?
45117Do we move today?
45117Do you know, Master Stacy?
45117Do you need any one, Charlie?
45117Do you think you are doing your duty as a law- abiding citizen by permitting one under your charge to violate one of our most sacred laws?
45117Do you?
45117Does he know the woods sufficiently well to be able to guide us?
45117Easy when you know how, is n''t it?
45117Eh? 45117 Eh?
45117Eh?
45117For goodness''sake, what is the matter with that boy now?
45117For what?
45117Get down there and shoot them, why do n''t you?
45117Give my pony to him?
45117Good gracious, what is it?
45117Good? 45117 Got a snack for a hungry man?"
45117Got anything dry about your person?
45117Got away from him? 45117 Handy kind of name, is n''t it?"
45117Has any of you a suggestion to make?
45117Has he gone, sure?
45117Have n''t you enough?
45117Have they got Stacy in jail now?
45117Have you anything that will help him, Professor?
45117Have you come to take me away?
45117Have you ever been lost in the big woods?
45117Have you seen the justice?
45117Have you the price?
45117He belong to your outfit?
45117He did, eh?
45117He had nothing to do with the killing, did he?
45117How about the meat?
45117How are you going to get the honey down?
45117How are your folks going to stop you?
45117How did it get such an outlandish name?
45117How did it happen?
45117How did it happen?
45117How did this happen?
45117How did you get this letter, then?
45117How did you know about that?
45117How did you know that he had killed a moose?
45117How did you know we were in this part of the country?
45117How do I know?
45117How do you know?
45117How do you know?
45117How far it it?
45117How far?
45117How is Stacy taking it?
45117How is your foot?
45117How long will it take?
45117How much have you?
45117How much of that oil of anise did you use to attract those bears?
45117How much?
45117How should I know?
45117How will you find it?
45117How would you like a pound or so of that bear steak, Chunky?
45117How-- how do you know?
45117How-- how long have we got to fast?
45117I came to see if you had Stacy Brown here?
45117I do n''t know what you mean, sir?
45117I reckon he''s the fellow Jed Whitman took in yesterday, ai n''t he?
45117I thought you were n''t afraid?
45117I-- I ca n''t help it if I get stung, can I?
45117I? 45117 If you boys want something to do why do n''t you go fishing?
45117If you had n''t gone out there, how could you have gotten there?
45117In a waterproof case?
45117In jail?
45117Is Mr. Whitman at home?
45117Is it anything like buck fever when you are trying to shoot at an animal?
45117Is n''t that a dandy pair of antlers?
45117Is n''t there anything I can do?
45117Is n''t there anything to eat in the camp?
45117Is that perfectly clear?
45117Is that the way you treat me after I have run a mile more or less to welcome you?
45117Is there any way in which this matter may be squared?
45117Is-- is there anything to eat in the packs?
45117It is my idea that I can get her to go with me, for part of the summer at least, and then--"What''s the matter with taking her along with us?
45117It was on account of the moose?
45117Jail? 45117 Just like that?"
45117Know how to make a bake- oven?
45117Lose our tempers?
45117Moose?
45117My, they''re all here, are n''t they?
45117No, I guess you will cross my palm for my breakfast, wo n''t you?
45117No?
45117No?
45117Not get into mischief there?
45117Now tell us about that fight with the moose again?
45117Now that you have made a touch, is it permissible to ask what you are going to do with all that money?
45117Now, Chunky,asked Butler,"do you see that mountain yonder?"
45117Now, do you think you boys could skin and dress a bear?
45117Oh, Tad, how long a trip is it to the Maine Woods from here?
45117Oh, why did n''t one of you other fellows save me by giving up your pony instead? 45117 Over yonder?"
45117Please ask the justice if he will trust us for the balance, provided we pay him a hundred dollars?
45117Professor, can you cross my palm for one- twenty- eight fifty?
45117Professor, you knew about this all the time, did n''t you?
45117Proves what?
45117Rangers?
45117Say, this is a new habit, is n''t it, this borrowing money?
45117Say, what are you doing?
45117Say, young fellow, what are you getting at?
45117Shall I get out the dog tent?
45117Sir, will you permit us to retire to another room to talk this matter over?
45117Smells good, does n''t it?
45117So that was one of your tricks, eh?
45117So that''s the trouble, is it?
45117Some woods, eh?
45117Something familiar about this meat, eh?
45117Squire Halliday? 45117 Stacy did n''t leave much to the imagination, did he?"
45117Stacy, old fellow, why be so touchy? 45117 Stacy, what are we going to do with you?"
45117Stacy,he said,"do you see anything peculiar about this body of water?"
45117Take it seriously? 45117 That reminds me, Tad, could you-- could you cross my palm for five cents this afternoon?"
45117That? 45117 The left foot?
45117The question is, what caused them to do that? 45117 The who?"
45117The''coons?
45117Then Professor Zepplin knew about it before we left home, eh?
45117Then he is not locked up?
45117Then what do you propose-- to sit down on the ground here and wait for daylight?
45117Then you admit it?
45117Then you are going to take a new trail from here?
45117Then you heard?
45117Then you rode all night?
45117Then you wo n''t go?
45117They think they are playing a mighty smart trick on us, do n''t they?
45117Think I have gone crazy?
45117Think I''m a trout?
45117To sleep?
45117To whom?
45117Tried to kiss you?
45117Want to borrow some money, eh?
45117Was n''t that some shooting? 45117 Was the moose dead when you reached the scene?"
45117We can take the antlers home with us, can we not?
45117We know how to give hears the run, do n''t we, John Charles?
45117We love each other too well to quarrel, do n''t we, Fatty?
45117Well, Tad, I suppose this is n''t a particularly happy occasion for you?
45117Well, what about it?
45117Well, what do you think of that?
45117Well?
45117Were you a witness to the killing?
45117Wha-- what are you going to shoot at?
45117Wha-- what do you mean?
45117Wha-- what is it?
45117Wha-- what was that?
45117Wha-- what? 45117 What about kindling?"
45117What about?
45117What am I going to get?
45117What are the willyjigs?
45117What are we going to do now?
45117What are you getting at?
45117What are you going to do about those ponies?
45117What are you going to do?
45117What are you going to do?
45117What are you trying to do to me?
45117What are you trying to do?
45117What better could a man ask for a summer resort?
45117What can he do if Mr. Brown is found guilty?
45117What did I ever do to you to merit such a fling as that?
45117What did I tell you?
45117What did he say?
45117What did he tell you?
45117What did you think it was?
45117What do they range?
45117What do you call that thing?
45117What do you know about this case, young man?
45117What do you mean, Chunky?
45117What do you mean?
45117What do you propose to do all summer, Tad?
45117What do you suppose no less than three persons at home asked me?
45117What do you think of it, boys?
45117What do you think we ought to do with you?
45117What do you think, Professor?
45117What do you want me to do?
45117What does it do?
45117What does this mean?
45117What doing?
45117What evidence have you of the fact?
45117What for?
45117What fun could I possibly have that would compare with going away with you and seeing you grow back into perfect health?
45117What had Master Stacy been doing, Charlie?
45117What has been going on here?
45117What has been going on here?
45117What has happened here?
45117What is he shooting at?
45117What is it? 45117 What is it?"
45117What is it?
45117What is that stuff?
45117What is that?
45117What is that?
45117What is the matter?
45117What is your explanation?
45117What kind of a lesson?
45117What man?
45117What shall we do, Charlie?
45117What time do you look for the justice to return?
45117What time is the case to be called?
45117What time of the day would you pay attention to that sort of a signal?
45117What time shall we reach our destination, Charlie?
45117What town is it?
45117What was done with the carcass?
45117What was that?
45117What was that?
45117What were you trying to do?
45117What will the justice be likely to do with him?
45117What''s been going on? 45117 What''s the matter with the Indian?"
45117What''s the matter with you?
45117What''s this? 45117 What, are we home?"
45117What, bears here in camp?
45117What, have n''t you anything to eat?
45117What-- what?
45117What-- what?
45117What? 45117 What?"
45117When is this man with the double- back- action name expected?
45117When was your attention first attracted to it?
45117When-- when did you leave there?
45117When?
45117Where can he have gone?
45117Where did he go?
45117Where did you say you were when the bear was here?
45117Where do we come in on the eat question?
45117Where do you want the camp?
45117Where is Stacy Brown?
45117Where is Stacy?
45117Where is that guide?
45117Where is the prisoner?
45117Where is the prisoner?
45117Where put um?
45117Where shall I find Professor Zepplin?
45117Where were you all this time?
45117Where''s the guide?
45117Where? 45117 Where?"
45117Who are the members of your party?
45117Who asked you that?
45117Who did that?
45117Who was the guide?
45117Why are you doing that?
45117Why did n''t you call for help?
45117Why did n''t you let go?
45117Why did n''t you say so before?
45117Why did n''t you shoot him?
45117Why did n''t you stay down there and fight him?
45117Why did you come here? 45117 Why do n''t you folks finish me in a decent way, if you are so anxious to get rid of me?"
45117Why is n''t he running?
45117Why not sir?
45117Why not?
45117Why, a man could n''t lose his way with that kind of a trail, could he?
45117Why-- I-- I--"Where is the bottle?
45117Why?
45117Why?
45117Why?
45117Why?
45117Will he be able to go on?
45117Will he come back?
45117Will it be much of a disappointment to you if you do not go with your friends?
45117Will this call the bears?
45117Will you be good enough to explain this affair?
45117Will you tell me where Mr. Whitman lives?
45117Will you tell me where the jail is?
45117Win what?
45117With your fist?
45117Yes, but what are you going to do when you get there?
45117Yes, do n''t we get any of that meat?
45117Yes, sir?
45117You are n''t going to stay here, are you?
45117You are sure that is all?
45117You ate some of the meat?
45117You could have got away from him, had you wished, could you not?
45117You did get stung, did n''t you?
45117You fellows are not so smart as you think you are, eh? 45117 You fellows chasing bear tracks, eh?"
45117You fellows do love to work, do n''t you?
45117You have a plan for getting a light?
45117You have n''t any letters for me secreted about your person, have you, Tad?
45117You in this thing, too, Walt?
45117You killed him?
45117You mean that lion- catching article?
45117You think so?
45117You think they may come back with some of their friends?
45117You threatening me?
45117You used all the oil?
45117You would n''t object were it a package of food, would you?
45117You''re not getting Chunky''s disease, are you?
45117_ What?_"Look!
45117Am I right, Professor?"
45117And you did n''t know a thing about it?"
45117Any of the rest of you been east?"
45117Are we nearly there?"
45117Bigger than my stomach?
45117But how do you happen to be here, if I may be so bold as to inquire?"
45117But why are you making up your mind to go up to the top of that mountain now?"
45117But why should I want to get away?
45117By the way, have you folks anything to eat?
45117CHAPTER XIX-- PAYING THE FIDDLER"Can you cross my palm for$ 128.50?"
45117CHAPTER XVIII-- THE VERDICT OF THE COURT"Stacy did not leave much to the imagination, did he?"
45117Can you let him have a horse?
45117Charlie, how did the bears act when you first saw them?"
45117Did any other person present in this court hear the statements attributed to the boy Brown?"
45117Did he feel it?"
45117Did n''t I save your life today?"
45117Did n''t he, John?"
45117Did you ever see a moose with a nose- bleed?"
45117Did you notice another trick of Mr. Vaughn''s when we were coming out here?"
45117Did you see him come into my tent?
45117Did you think I bit it in two?"
45117Do n''t I get any supper?"
45117Do what?"
45117Do you get me?"
45117Do you know anything about it, Tad?"
45117Do you know what it was?"
45117Do you realize that we have n''t a penny left, and that we''ve no credit in this town?
45117Do you see what has occurred?"
45117Do you think I would trust my precious person to these savages?"
45117Do you understand?"
45117Ever rough it in the winter?"
45117Good place for one, is n''t it?"
45117Good?"
45117Got the tent, Master Tad?"
45117Have you decided that we shall all go, Professor?"
45117He admits killing the moose, does he not?"
45117He say come quick, eh?"
45117How about a fire for cooking?"
45117How are you going to make salt?"
45117How did you get off?"
45117How did you suppose I cut his throat?
45117How is that steak coming on, Charlie?"
45117How is that?"
45117How is that?"
45117How long do you want it for?"
45117How much?"
45117How would you go to work to make a browse- bed, Master Tad?"
45117How would you like that kind of a lesson?"
45117I am ashamed of myself-- Great Scott, what is that?"
45117I do n''t suppose you want to bail him out?"
45117I presume you have lost grub now and then?"
45117I thought you meant--""Is it possible that that noise is made by''coons?"
45117I''d be the human fly, then, would n''t I?
45117I''ve tried to make young Brown as comfortable as possible, and we''ve had a pretty good visit, have n''t we, Stacy?"
45117Is this some kind of joke?"
45117It''s a high one, is n''t it?"
45117John, did you see any place where they might have left the trail?"
45117Master Stacy, will you please fell a small, straight tree and cut from it two logs about six feet long, eight or ten inches thick?"
45117Master Tad, have you a match safe?"
45117Master Tad, what is the gun signal when one is lost?"
45117May I try my hand on the other one?"
45117May we save the hide?"
45117Me scared?"
45117Mr. Vaughn, have you learned to know me well enough to realize how valuable I am to this company?"
45117Mr. Vaughn, who won that bout?"
45117Mr. Whitman, will you conduct the prisoner and his friends to the back room?
45117Not growing thin, are you?"
45117Now what are we going to do?"
45117Now what''s he up to?"
45117Perhaps I am telling you some things that you know already?"
45117Perkins?"
45117Professor, do n''t you think it would be bad for Stacy''s weak heart if he were to fill up on this bacon?"
45117Remember that fine mess of trout that Ned caught when we were in the Rockies?
45117Remember that?"
45117Remember your lion story, Chunky, as printed in the Chillicothe paper?"
45117Shall I try it?"
45117Shall we have a little ride now just to forget, you know?
45117So this is Charlie John, is it?"
45117Stay here alone?
45117The question is, did the accused kill a moose on the date mentioned in the complaint?
45117Understand?"
45117Vaughn?"
45117Vaughn?"
45117Vaughn?"
45117Vaughn?"
45117Vaughn?"
45117Vaughn?"
45117Vaughn?"
45117Vaughn?"
45117Vaughn?"
45117Vaughn?"
45117Walt, is your father at home?"
45117Were n''t you scared, Chunky?"
45117What about those sticks?"
45117What appears to be the matter with your mother, Tad?"
45117What are you going to do?"
45117What did I tell you?"
45117What did I wish?"
45117What do they live on?"
45117What do you say?"
45117What do you think it is, Tad?"
45117What do you think of that?"
45117What do you think of that?"
45117What does it say?"
45117What does this mean?"
45117What is it?
45117What on earth would we do on our trips if we did n''t have you along?
45117What time of day?
45117What you want?"
45117What''s this?"
45117What''s wrong?"
45117Where else should we go?"
45117Where is Charlie?"
45117Where shall we begin?"
45117Where?"
45117Which shall it be?"
45117Who be you?"
45117Who is Jed Whitman?"
45117Who is going with me?"
45117Who would supply the fun and the jokes for us?"
45117Why Charlie care?
45117Why did he take Brown?"
45117Why do n''t you get down and fight him, then?"
45117Why is he allowed to roam about the room at will?"
45117Why the delay?"
45117Why-- but what''s the use in talking about it?
45117Will that be enough?"
45117Will you shield me from the wind with a blanket while I am starting this fire, Butler?"
45117Would n''t it be funny if we got lost?"
45117You are going to punish him?"
45117You are in charge of this party, are you not?"
45117You do n''t want to eat warm meat, do you?"
45117You do n''t want to spend the rest of your life up here, do you?"
45117You have been like a father to me, but--""But what?"
45117You know how, do n''t you?"
45117You shot him?"
45117You''ve seen a great deal of trouble, have n''t you?"
45117_"What?
6069A gambler?
6069A trail on the river?
6069All ready for the first?
6069All right? 6069 An excellent idea, but what are you going to do for a fire?"
6069And I presume your name is a secret too?
6069And after to- morrow what?
6069And do n''t I get all I want to eat until he- he-- until Tad gets back?
6069And leave us here alone?
6069And that?
6069And you will do as I tell you?
6069And young gentlemen, will you tell me how Master Tad himself is going to get back? 6069 Anybody know where I can find it?"
6069Anything wrong?
6069Are the things damaged?
6069Are we almost out of here?
6069Are we not going out to look for the others now?
6069Are you all right?
6069Are you all right?
6069Are you boys going into this?
6069Are you gentlemen ready to begin?
6069Are you getting hungry?
6069Are you hungry, Chunky?
6069Are you hurt, Chunky?
6069Are you ready?
6069Are you ready?
6069Are you sure? 6069 Are you sure?"
6069Are you warm enough down there?
6069Ask him if he found the provisions ruined?
6069Break um? 6069 But can we not go forward or else back a mile or so and find an entrance to the gorge?"
6069But what will happen to us if you get lost, Tad?
6069But who was it?
6069But you do not think it''s-- how shall I say it?
6069But, how did they get in here?
6069But, then, why not let us all go with you?
6069Ca n''t you remember whether it was to the north or the south of this?
6069Ca n''t you trail them?
6069Call that all right?
6069Can you climb up here?
6069Can you fasten the end of the rope to something up there?
6069Can you get down there to gather up our belongings?
6069Can you make it?
6069Can you pace-- measure off by taking a series of long steps?
6069Can you see Tad? 6069 Can you see the end of the place?"
6069Can-- can your men find their way in the dark?
6069Could we not get a draft through that large crack in the rocks up there?
6069Dick Munson, eh?
6069Did n''t I tell you?
6069Did n''t he hear anything?
6069Did you know it?
6069Did you say it was a mistake?
6069Did you see me fall in? 6069 Did you swallow a bone?"
6069Did you?
6069Do n''t you think we''ve got enough to do with getting him and the provisions up, without throwing down the rest of our stuff?
6069Do these mines ever blow up or catch fire?
6069Do we take our rifles, Professor?
6069Do what?
6069Do you follow me, young gentleman?
6069Do you know a way out of this?
6069Do you know how to sling a rope, kid?
6069Do you mean to say you have been gone nearly twenty- four hours and have not found a rope?
6069Do you think it safe for us to leave here now?
6069Do you think the Professor would like you to do that?
6069Do you think they took anything else?
6069Does he know who we are?
6069Does my riding please you?
6069Does n''t that beat all, Walt?
6069Dynamite? 6069 Eagle- eye, will you come here, please?"
6069Eat? 6069 Eat?
6069From what?
6069Get a pail; what ails you?
6069Going to drag the mules after you?
6069Gone?
6069Got a compass?
6069Got anything to eat?
6069Got anything to eat?
6069Got anything to eat?
6069Happened? 6069 Have n''t I seen him about the Red Star?"
6069Have n''t they had any water to- day?
6069Have you any idea who did this thing, Eagle- eye?
6069Have you any?
6069Have you?
6069He shot six times, did n''t he?
6069Heard it before? 6069 Heard it that time, did you?"
6069Hello, Chunky, any news?
6069Hello, what''s this?
6069Hey, Tad, why do n''t you build a fire down there?
6069Hey, you have n''t got back, have you?
6069How about Eagle- eye?
6069How about it, Eagle- eye?
6069How about it, Professor?
6069How about it, Walter?
6069How about you, Walt?
6069How could they locate our position close enough to do that?
6069How deep do you think the gorge is, Tad?
6069How did you get out? 6069 How did you know we were here?"
6069How did you suppose I got there if I did n''t know the way?
6069How do you feel?
6069How do you know? 6069 How do you know?
6069How do you know?
6069How do you suppose they got away?
6069How far are we from there now?
6069How far are we from where we started?
6069How far did you fall?
6069How far down do we go?
6069How far is it to the Red Star the way you have directed me?
6069How far, Eagle- eye?
6069How long?
6069How many eggs have we left, Ned?
6069How much do I owe you?
6069How''s that?
6069How-- how did you find your way back?
6069How?
6069How?
6069How?
6069How?
6069Hungry?
6069Hunting? 6069 I am afraid, my young friend, that the place where the ancient craft ran aground was some distance from this rugged spot--""But why not?"
6069I called out,''Hello, who''s there?'' 6069 I demand to know what all this means?"
6069I do n''t see that anything else is missing, do you, Ned?
6069I do n''t think Ned is much of a cook, do you, Chunky?
6069I might ask you the same question, you fellow and Tom Cravath?
6069I say, what do you mean by playing such pranks on me as this? 6069 I should say we did?"
6069I''d like to know how? 6069 I?
6069If it has, what then?
6069If you are real, for goodness''sake tell us who you are and where you are?
6069In other words, we are to be a sort of''tug- of- war''team, eh? 6069 Is everybody else all right?
6069Is it anything serious?
6069Is it possible?
6069Is n''t it about time that lazy Indian were back, Professor?
6069Is that so?
6069Is your friend able to walk?
6069Is-- is it the red car?
6069Know anybody there?
6069Know what?
6069Lucky my pants did n''t rip, was n''t it?
6069Make signals-- how?
6069May I draw?
6069Me? 6069 Mules are asleep then, are n''t they?"
6069Next-- who draws next?
6069No Professor yet, eh?
6069No, not very sportsmanlike, is it? 6069 No, when did Walter leave?"
6069Not lost-- cannot get lost?
6069Not-- not over the cliff-- you-- you ca n''t mean it?
6069Now, Miss, will you please tell us how to get out of here?
6069Now, Professor, will you please take charge of the operations?
6069One hundred and twenty feet, eh?
6069Poaching, eh?
6069Run off with your big- toes?
6069Said what?
6069Saw something, did you?
6069Say, kid, where''d you learn to hit a saddle like that?
6069Say, young lady, can you find a rope that will reach down to us?
6069See here, boy, what have you been up to?
6069See that hole up there?
6069See that shack over there?
6069Shall I rub it for you?
6069Smoke, smoke?
6069So you''ve been hit too, eh? 6069 So, you are the mystery, are you?"
6069Somebody else here? 6069 Stolen?
6069Stop pounding me, d''ye hear? 6069 Tad, are you sure that is the same voice?"
6069Tell me what you have found?
6069That would take at least a day or two, would it not?
6069The goat?
6069The next question is, where are you going to get the rope?
6069The ponies? 6069 The tea also?"
6069Then they know we are here?
6069Then what are we going to do?
6069Then what harm can the red car, as you call it, do?
6069Then what is the matter? 6069 Then where is he?
6069Then why not let me try-- at least make an effort to recover our things? 6069 Then you are going to give it up?
6069Then, there is no danger to us?
6069Then, there''s no use trying to follow?
6069Think I''d bring you water in it without doing so?
6069Think anyone was killed?
6069Think we had better unpack?
6069Think you can get the stuff up here?
6069Think you deserve to have anything?
6069Think you want to take a chance for the saddle, boy?
6069This all I get to eat to- day?
6069Three eggs and a drink of nanny goat milk, eh? 6069 To the Ruby Mountain?"
6069Trying to burn up the mountain?
6069Two lumps of sugar I believe you take, Professor?
6069Was that an earthquake?
6069Wat''cher wake me up for?
6069Well, what are you waiting for?
6069Well, what do you infer from that-- what does that mean?
6069Well, what do you think of it?
6069Well, what is it all about? 6069 Wh-- what''s that?"
6069Wha-- what ghosts?
6069Wha-- what pack did the mule have?
6069What about it?
6069What about them?
6069What are we going to do?
6069What are you going to do?
6069What are you standing there for?
6069What are you trying to do to me?
6069What business you got in here?
6069What can it mean?
6069What can we do now?
6069What can we do?
6069What did you discover?
6069What did you do for food?
6069What do you fellows mean?
6069What do you make of it, Master Tad?
6069What do you mean, you young rascal?
6069What do you mean?
6069What do you mean?
6069What do you mean?
6069What do you say to having a real breakfast down here?
6069What do you think is the meaning of the visit, Eagle- eye?
6069What do you think you will need with guns at a horse race?
6069What do you want me to do? 6069 What do you want us to do?"
6069What does he want, to be lowered?
6069What does that mean?
6069What happened then?
6069What happened to him?
6069What have you found?
6069What have you there?
6069What if he should n''t come back?
6069What if we should jump the track in here?
6069What is it this time?
6069What is it, Indians?
6069What is it, Master Stacy?
6069What is it-- is there something I can do for you?
6069What is it? 6069 What is it?
6069What is it?
6069What is it?
6069What is it?
6069What is it?
6069What is there to eat?
6069What kind of signals?
6069What luck?
6069What makes it look so red?
6069What other motive could an Indian have for a visit at that hour? 6069 What shall we cook them in?"
6069What time is it?
6069What was he, a bold robber or what?
6069What was that crashing noise in here? 6069 What was that?"
6069What''s a smoke eater?
6069What''s going to happen?
6069What''s queer?
6069What''s that you say?
6069What''s that, Professor?
6069What''s that? 6069 What''s that?
6069What''s that? 6069 What''s that?
6069What''s that?
6069What''s that?
6069What''s the matter with the water?
6069What''s the matter, ca n''t you talk?
6069What''s the matter?
6069What''s the trouble? 6069 What''s this?
6069What, do we have to eat with a spoon-- a large spoon, at that?
6069What, gone? 6069 What, tease Chunky Brown?
6069What, what is it?
6069What? 6069 What?"
6069What?
6069When Ned went away?
6069When do we reach the Red Star Mine?
6069Where am I?
6069Where are the rest of the boys?
6069Where are you?
6069Where are you?
6069Where do all those tunnels go to?
6069Where is he, I say?
6069Where is he? 6069 Where is our kitchen outfit?"
6069Where is the goat?
6069Where is this place?
6069Where is your cave?
6069Where''s Mr. Munson-- Mr. Richard Munson? 6069 Where''s that rope?"
6069Where''s that?
6069Where''s the guide?
6069Where''s the other two?
6069Where''s the rope?
6069Where? 6069 Where?"
6069Where?
6069Where?
6069Where?
6069Where?
6069Whi-- which ponies-- which ones are gone?
6069Which means?
6069Which one?
6069Which track are we on?
6069Which way do you think he went?
6069Which way is the gorge?
6069Who are you, anyway? 6069 Who are you?"
6069Who are you?
6069Who said that?
6069Who was it?
6069Who would have ever thought it so far?
6069Who''s hurt?
6069Who''s playing tricks?
6069Who''s there?
6069Who, Chunky?
6069Who-- who are you?
6069Whom did you send?
6069Why do n''t you begin at the top and work down then?
6069Why do n''t you have lights in here?
6069Why do you call it that?
6069Why not throw Tad''s tent down to him if we do n''t succeed in getting him up?
6069Why not?
6069Why not?
6069Why not?
6069Why not?
6069Why not?
6069Why not?
6069Why not?
6069Why not?
6069Will the dynamite explode?
6069Will they have to dig far-- is that pile between us and the railroad very thick?
6069Will we starve to- night? 6069 Will you help us to get out of here?"
6069Will you tell us how you got where you are?
6069Wondering what?
6069Would you like to take a ride in one little cars?
6069Yes, I understand that, but where?
6069Yes, but I do n''t understand-- what does this mean?
6069Yes, but do you realize where we are, boys?
6069Yes, but how are we going to get there?
6069Yes, but how did you happen to find Dick Munson, or he to find you?
6069Yes, but where could you send Eagle- eye?
6069Yes, but why not, why not?
6069Yes, did you get the rope?
6069Yes, sir, what is it?
6069Yes, what is it?
6069Yes, what next?
6069Yes, what of them, Master Ned? 6069 Yes, who''s this?
6069Yes, yes, do n''t you understand?
6069Yes, yes, that''s what I want to know?
6069You are not going in it, are you?
6069You are sure he is nowhere about, Tad?
6069You did n''t find any of Eagle- eye''s evil spirits down there, did you?
6069You do n''t mean he has been killed?
6069You do n''t mean-- you ca n''t mean they have been here again?
6069You do n''t say?
6069You do n''t? 6069 You give Indian gun?"
6069You knew we were right under it, then?
6069You mean the quarter- inch rope?
6069You mean the ropes have been cut?
6069You mean through any supernatural agency?
6069You mean you could not find one?
6069You mean?
6069You say you found the trail of a canoe on the river?
6069You sure the mule is dead?
6069You went by her, did n''t you?
6069You will ask no questions?
6069You will come along, wo n''t you, Professor?
6069You wo n''t try to find out anything about my cave?
6069You would like to see me lose my big- toes, would n''t you? 6069 Acomb? 6069 After I got started I kept on going and going, and the further I went the less steep did the banks appeared--"How far did you go?
6069And hurry, wo n''t you?"
6069And with all of us sleeping within a rod or so of them?
6069Any of you think of a plan that will help us?
6069Anything happened?"
6069Anything the matter?"
6069Are they asleep?"
6069Are they hurt?"
6069Are you hurt, boy?"
6069At any rate, do n''t you see it means we are going to meet some human beings at last?
6069But what would you advise doing now?"
6069But where''s Ned and Walter?
6069But where''s Tad?"
6069But why do n''t he come back, then?"
6069But, is there any game here?"
6069By the way, did they get my saddle when they stole my pony last night?"
6069By the way, have you had anything to eat?"
6069CHAPTER XIV RESCUE PARTIES ON THE TRAIL"Who is in charge in his place?
6069CHAPTER XXI IMPRISONED IN A MINE"That-- that''s the track that the empty cars go back on, is it not?"
6069CHAPTER XXII THE BOYS FACE A MYSTERY"Then how are we going to get out?"
6069Ca n''t we turn them on again?"
6069Call that all right?"
6069Can you cook?"
6069Did Acomb tell you of our predicament?
6069Did we have a smash?"
6069Did ye pass the Ruby Mounting?"
6069Do n''t you see my judgment was right when I said it was a dangerous undertaking?"
6069Do n''t you think it''s worth that much to get Master Tad out of his difficulty quickly?"
6069Do n''t you think so?"
6069Do n''t you think so?"
6069Do n''t you understand that?"
6069Do we, Ned?"
6069Do you keep much of it down here?"
6069Do you know that you might have seriously injured Master Tad?
6069Do you know what happened to him?"
6069Do you not think we had better be starting, Professor?
6069Eagle- eye, will you go down there and try to get the provisions for us?"
6069Eat?
6069H- m- m- m.""Is it as bad as you thought?"
6069Has Mr. Munson returned?"
6069Has anything happened to them?"
6069Have I got to stand here and look on?"
6069Have n''t you boys had enough straying from home for a time?"
6069Have you boys any matches?"
6069How about the coffee?"
6069How did she ever get there?"
6069How do you explain that?"
6069How do you propose to get them, may I ask?"
6069How far is it to where our provisions were dumped?"
6069How long ago?
6069How much longer will our provisions last, Ned?"
6069How''d you come to do that, Bob?"
6069Hungry?
6069Hurt him any?"
6069I did n''t suppose I was so weak?"
6069I do n''t see any such thing around here?"
6069I do n''t suppose the thieves will come back for the rest of them, do you?"
6069I know you are a girl, but--""But what?"
6069I shall not be taking any risks to speak of--""How do you propose to go about it, young man?"
6069I should have put it that way myself only--""Why not send the Indian for a rope?"
6069I should say there had--""Well, what is it?
6069I suppose the Indian has not returned?"
6069I trust my explanation has been perfectly clear to you all?"
6069I was right, was n''t I?"
6069I''m all right, do n''t you see I am?"
6069I''m what?"
6069I''ve got corned beef and--""And what?
6069I--""Well, what''s all the excitement about?"
6069If Eagle- eye had no hand in the theft, why should he run away as he seems to have done?"
6069If not plunder, what could be his purpose?
6069Is Master Tad hurt?"
6069Is n''t night outside yet, is it?"
6069Is that chap an expert roper?"
6069Is that it?"
6069Is that what you mean?"
6069Is that what you mean?"
6069Is that yours, kid?"
6069Is there anything the matter with that water, Walt?
6069Is this in accordance with your experience?"
6069It is distinctly marked--""What''s marked?"
6069Let''s cook them?"
6069May we go over to see it?"
6069Munson?"
6069Not here?"
6069Now, do you think you understand?"
6069Now, fellows, what do you think of that?
6069Phipps?"
6069Phipps?"
6069Shall I?"
6069Shall we do it?"
6069Stolen?
6069Stolen?
6069Tad would starve to death before that, would n''t he?"
6069Take down those tents, pack all the stuff over to the mules and--""And what are you going to do while I''m doing that?"
6069Ten minutes?
6069That sounds funny, does n''t it?"
6069That you, Bob?
6069That''s almost as bad as being hit on the head by one, eh?"
6069The next question is, how are we going to get the beast up here?
6069Then she called down to them:"All ready?"
6069Then the Shawnee did know more than he had seen fit to tell them?
6069They''re taking a trip over the mountains and they want to know if they can join you in the fun this afternoon?"
6069Think so?"
6069Think we want to drink out of that old hat?"
6069Thought you were riding a pony, Professor Zepplin?"
6069Umpire?"
6069Understand?"
6069Understand?"
6069Understand?"
6069Walt got crazy about it and I guess he went out to look for him, though he did n''t tell me he was going to--""What time was that?"
6069Walt, where did you get that awful stuff?"
6069Walt, will you bring me two of those staking- down ropes?
6069Was that what did it?"
6069We have enough food in our pockets to keep us going until night and--""Do n''t we get anything to eat until night?"
6069Were you ever an Indian?"
6069What are they going to do next here do you know?"
6069What are you standing around with your hands in your pockets for while Rome is burning?"
6069What are you trying to do?"
6069What can we think, but that he has had something to do with our loss?"
6069What did you suppose I was going to do?"
6069What do you mean?
6069What do you mean?"
6069What do you say, guide?"
6069What for?"
6069What have you found?"
6069What have you to say about it, Master Tad?"
6069What is it-- isn''t there some superstition about the rock?"
6069What is it?"
6069What is it?"
6069What is it?"
6069What shall I do?"
6069What was that?"
6069What would you say to canned peaches?"
6069What''s that you say?"
6069What''s that, Eagle- eye?
6069What''s that?"
6069What''s the excitement about?"
6069What''s the matter with burning up our hats?"
6069What''s the matter with you?"
6069What''s this?"
6069When I move my hand up and down, just like this-- Understand?"
6069When part way home, however, he rode up beside Tad, and leaning from his saddle, whispered,"I did n''t fall off, did I?"
6069Where is it?"
6069Where''s the rest of your party?"
6069Where?"
6069Where?"
6069Whether we can get down there or not I have n''t the slightest idea--""Do n''t we get anything to eat?"
6069Which ponies?
6069Who are you?"
6069Who is that fellow with whom Chunky''s competitors are talking?"
6069Who knows?
6069Who left that thing there for me to nearly break my neck on?"
6069Who said eat?"
6069Why not go yourself?"
6069Why not?
6069Yet how are we going to find our way?
6069You all promise not to tell on me?"
6069You say it was a girl''s voice?"
6069gone?"
