43020	and--?"
43020	do you ask?
43020	por estos melones?"
43020	there was an old lady up here the other day, and she says to me:"Sergeant, do n''t people ever die of this sickness up here?"
45627	Ai n''t you goin''to let me in on the fun, partner?
45627	Airships did you say, Jack?
45627	All fixed, are we brother?
45627	And if it ai n''t a dead secret would you mind tellin''me what sort of a jaunt we''re pushed on to this time-- is it to be a hunt, partner?
45627	And what makes you feel that way, Perk?
45627	But just the same you ai n''t any too-- er-- sanguine-- is that the word I want, partner? 45627 Come far, sir?"
45627	Crater Lake, Jack?
45627	Did you manage to save him, sir-- tell us-- or-- or was it too late?
45627	Do we leave him there, after comin''so far to help the poor lad? 45627 Do you mean air- mail crates or some of those pilots who''re searching for signs of Buddy Warner?"
45627	Every feller had his hand in but poor me; what''ve I done to be cheated out o''my share like I was a baby? 45627 Expected to meet up with some muck like this I guess, eh, partner?"
45627	Forgot to ask you whether they''d learned anything about our lost friend, Buddy Warner-- how about it, Perk?
45627	Four thousand feet an''more, eh?
45627	Glory be Jack, an''what have you got in that wise coco o''yourn, if it''s all right for you to up an''spill the game?
45627	Gosh amighty Jack, did you see me knock the ole hippopotamus silly when I opened on him right smart? 45627 Got any sort o''idee where we might be right now, Jack?"
45627	How long we been kickin''through this mess?
45627	I kinder guess you''re itchin''to get our bearings again Jack?
45627	Is it too badly wrecked for you to fix up so I can pull out of this awful hole and take off again?
45627	Jest see how the''ve changed a heap o''the instruments we used to swear by in them days o''the big war over in France, eh Jack? 45627 Joke hey?
45627	Listen, Jack-- don''t you hear it ahead there?
45627	Meanin''to get seven winks o''sleep, ai n''t you?
45627	Never say die, eh? 45627 No wildcat skirmishin'', an''heatin''about the bush for_ you_, eh partner?"
45627	Pretty girl this time struck you where your heart is soft, eh, buddy?
45627	So that''s all settled, hey? 45627 Tell me, did you come through this crash without being seriously hurt yourself?"
45627	That bally English doctor wanted to take the arm off-- said it''d save my life, but what use would life be to a birdman with only one arm? 45627 Then the mystery is as deep as ever and they have n''t yet found out what happened to poor Buddy?"
45627	We''ll help you get them out o''the bus, lady,he hastened to say;"if so be you''ll kindly show us where they be-- ain''t that so, partner?"
45627	What about, old pal?
45627	What ails you now, comrade?
45627	What''s goin''to be done about it, eh partner?
45627	Whatever ailed you Perk, to set that thing going like mad?
45627	Where to, Jack-- north, east, south or west?
45627	Whereabouts?
45627	Who knows, Perk?
45627	You are searching for him, I take it for granted?
45627	A sort o''yearnin'', hopin''but kinder afraid things might n''t turn out so well in the end?"
45627	Ai n''t there a way for us to slant down an''drop on that sandy shore his boat''s restin''on?
45627	An''what did you think was the worst story in the bunch, Jack old hoss?"
45627	Bart Hicks played one on his unsuspectin''guests then, did he?"
45627	But say, things keep on pilin''up worse than I ever ran across in all my whole life-- look at what''s ahead there-- can you beat it, Jack?"
45627	Could anything be said to make a mother''s heart thrill more with joy-- or that of Buddy''s best girl also?
45627	Did you notice them sitting there when we came in?"
45627	Did you say you would take a look at my ship and find out what''s wrong?
45627	Do you agree with me, sir?"
45627	Do you think they are working on the same lines as the rest of us?"
45627	Get that now, brother, do you?"
45627	Hang it all, why could n''t I have been doin''some other sorter job where they might''a''let me off for a spell?
45627	Hey there, Cyclone, where''d you pop up from, old pard?"
45627	However did it happen you picked out this place to come down in, or was it just by a rare chance?
45627	I get you, partner,"he mumbled, not yet thoroughly aroused,"watchman, how goes the night, eh Jack, old hoss?"
45627	I reckon now you''re meaning an eagle, eh Perk?"
45627	I sure do hope now they ai n''t meanin''to bust in on our fine ship an''play hob with her-- wouldn''t that jar you though, partner?"
45627	I''ll promise to wake you up inside of three hours when you can take charge while I hit the hay-- how about that arrangement, boy?"
45627	Is that really and truly smoke curling up from over there?"
45627	It may assist me to remember the particular instance out of the hundreds I handled?"
45627	Jack, do you think they know who we are and got some sort o''grudge against us on''count o''the trade we foller, eh, what?"
45627	Jack, whatever c''n it mean, do you reckon?"
45627	Know him, Perk?"
45627	Mebbe you''ve noticed me takin''a look all around once in a while-- up in the air, I mean?
45627	Must they turn back, and possibly spend yet another dreary night in the little valley town, dispirited and with the poor girl in despair?
45627	Now, what about putting me wise to the game that was sprung on you tonight?"
45627	Now, what next I wonder?"
45627	Oh my stars, c''n it be possible we''ve run on to poor Buddy Warner so clost to help an''him stuck there like a pig in a poke all this while?
45627	Ready for it?"
45627	Remember that, will you, Cyclone?"
45627	Say, ai n''t that worth comin''out here to see?
45627	Shake hands with me, will you?
45627	Tear in an''tell a feller what it all was about, wo n''t you?"
45627	The dirty scoundrels-- wantin''to give you a_ ride_, was they?
45627	V WHEN A COG SLIPPED"What''s up, partner?"
45627	Want me to keep that right along, Boss?"
45627	We sure do strike the strangest happening in our line o''work, do n''t we?"
45627	What genuine reason could a girl have for such an overwhelming desire for action?
45627	What if the fool bird plunges madly at our ship?
45627	What should they do about it?
45627	What was this he saw projecting from the lake close to the shore?
45627	What was to hinder them seeking it out again, and finding a safe harbor for the hours of darkness?
45627	What will happen to us all?"
45627	What will poor Mother Warner say when she fails to hear from me as I promised?
45627	What''s the use ruining his hide?
45627	Where was the strange hermit of Crater Lake?
45627	Why did he not show himself when he surely must have watched their coming and successful descent?
45627	Why should she show such a yearning for a chance to continue her flight?
45627	Would their entire day be put in without a breath of cheering hope?
45627	all set now for another long spin, combin''the country as we go along, eh partner?"
45627	now ai n''t that the rottenest luck ever?"
45627	so that''s the bully sort of life you fellers in the Secret Service lead, is it?"
45627	ventured Perk, in a tone of injured innocence,"when did this beat in on us, buddy?"
45627	what d''ye think o''that measly rum- runner bobbin''up like a floatin''cork to annoy us again?"
45627	what is it, old hoss?"
45627	what was_ that_ now?"
45627	what''s this I''m seein''partner?"
45627	why was n''t there three bums in the bunch, just enough to go around; dang''em, why did they want to crab my game like that?"
17603	''An''who is this yere maverick?'' 17603 ''Oh, is that so?''
17603	A fit?
17603	All right,laughed Bert,"we''ll suspend sentence this time, but at the next offense we wo n''t be so lenient, will we, Dick?"
17603	An''where was that?
17603	Are the guns ready?
17603	Are there many of those fellows around here?
17603	Are they really as savage as they are cracked up to be?
17603	Are they savage?
17603	Are you going to organize a force and go after them?
17603	Bring a paper with you, Pete?
17603	But are you going to train at all for this race?
17603	But even if you get to the railroad how are you going to telegraph without an instrument?
17603	But what did do it, then?
17603	By the way,said Mrs. Melton, her eyes twinkling,"where are those fish you promised me for supper?"
17603	Did n''t I hear some one say a little while ago,he asked slyly,"that in this little old United States there was too much civilization?"
17603	Did somebody get your wad, or what?
17603	Did they get you bad?
17603	Did they kill the horses?
17603	Did they kill the panther?
17603	Did you think I''d send one of my men to meet you? 17603 Do n''t you think they''ll attack before that?"
17603	Do you know of anybody round these parts that is left- handed?
17603	Do you know who this boy Wilson is, eh? 17603 Do you mean that Pedro was in cahoots with the gang?"
17603	Do you mind if I stand up for a minute and stretch?
17603	Do you remember how they used to fasten a ring about the throat so that they could n''t swallow them? 17603 Do you remember, Tom?"
17603	Do yuh really mean he''s the same Wilson thet won the big Marathon race?
17603	Feel kind o''wobbly, eh?
17603	Got a bad little hangover from last night? 17603 Have you got your winged shoes on to- day?"
17603	Here they are-- Wilson, Trent, Henderson-- say,he exclaimed with a quick look at the boys,"ai n''t them the handles you fellers carries?"
17603	How about breakfast?
17603	How about the Mexican bandits and the Chinese pirates? 17603 How about those belts?"
17603	How did you ever get here?
17603	How goes it, pards,he said,"an''what''s the good word?"
17603	How many men do you need to run the ranch?
17603	How''s that?
17603	I should think it must have been,said Bert, drawing a long breath,"but what did the rest of the wolves do when they found themselves shut out?"
17603	I suppose you went back and got the sled the next day, did n''t you?
17603	I wonder if he----Great Scott, what''s that?
17603	If anything like this happens again,he warned,"somebody''s going to get fired pretty pronto, savvy?
17603	Is n''t he the fellow that tells you to''loaf and invite your soul''?
17603	Is n''t it nearly twelve o''clock? 17603 Is n''t there-- isn''t there some way to summon aid?"
17603	Is that so?
17603	It''s lucky you did,said Dick;"have you got plenty of ammunition for it?"
17603	Just send him in here for a minute, will you?
17603	Just the same, I''ll bet if you think real hard you can think of something worth telling,said Bert;"try to, anyway, wo n''t you?"
17603	Like those natives we saw in China, eh?
17603	Looks as though there were going to be something doing pretty soon, does n''t there?
17603	No later than that?
17603	Now''s your time, son,said Buck;"are you all ready?"
17603	So Melton sent you to spy on us, did he?
17603	So that''s how the land lies, is it?
17603	Somethin''doin''?
17603	Then all the cattle we''ve seen grazing by thousands for the last few miles belong to you?
17603	There has n''t been any trouble of the kind for a long time, has there?
17603	Tom was born too late?
17603	Was there any clue on that steer, outside of the changing of the brand?
17603	Well, Sandy,he said, as he noted the worried look in the latter''s eyes,"what seems to be the matter?
17603	Well, my lads,he exclaimed,"how do you like the way we spend our holidays out here, eh?"
17603	Well, what about it?
17603	What did he say?
17603	What do you say to trying it?
17603	What do you think we''d better do?
17603	What do yuh mean?
17603	What do yuh think them low- down Piutes that calls themselves citizens of Helena has been an''done now?
17603	What have you got?
17603	What kind of trouble?
17603	What made them?
17603	What makes you think so?
17603	What''s bitin''yuh, Chip?
17603	What''s that?
17603	What''s the matter, cap?
17603	What''s the use?
17603	What''s up?
17603	Where?
17603	Who had been riding herd on that north range before Buck saw the trail of the drove?
17603	Who said it was a grizzly?
17603	Why should we?
17603	Why, are they so vicious about it?
17603	Why,said Bert impatiently,"do n''t you boobs realize that up in the mountains here the snow is often four or five feet deep in the early spring?
17603	You do n''t mean the Custer Massacre?
17603	You do n''t mean there''s talk of an outbreak among them, do you?
17603	You''ll find that when Bert says a thing he generally means it,remarked Dick,"but what is it all about, anyway?
17603	You''re not going to starve me to death, are you?
17603	Ai n''t that straight?"
17603	But how could he follow without detection?
17603	But how do you feel, Bert?"
17603	But we do n''t mean no harm, do we, Red?"
17603	But what could they do?
17603	But you lads,"he said, turning to the three friends,"where were you bound for when you were attacked?"
17603	But, after all, what right had he to arrest the man?
17603	But, if so, why the air of secrecy?
17603	Can you wise us up on this yere mooted p''int?"
17603	Could he do it?
17603	Did you bring any along?"
17603	Do n''t you see?"
17603	Have yuh ever done much runnin''?"
17603	He says t''me,''Waal, Chip, I reckon you boys on the ranches hereabouts wo n''t pick off the prize money this year in the footrace, will yuh?''
17603	How about tackle?
17603	How could the grizzly reach that high?
17603	How do you account for the other four or five?
17603	How do yuh feel?''
17603	Is there anything really doing, or is it all just talk?"
17603	Outside of that he ca n''t run worth a cent, can he, Dick?"
17603	Own up, now, ai n''t you?"
17603	Tom, got that paperweight handy?"
17603	What are you going to try for first, pickerel or bass?"
17603	What do you say, Sam?"
17603	What do you say?"
17603	What had happened to him?
17603	What was done with them?"
17603	What was it that he offered to run in?"
17603	What''ve yuh got to say t''that, eh?"
17603	Who figured it out?"
17603	Why not?
17603	Why should this man be giving money to the half- breed?
17603	You remember, Sandy, that little scrap in Mexico I told you about?
17603	exclaimed Dick;"the old sinner''s never satisfied unless he''s winning something or other, is he?"
17603	queried Sandy, speaking for his surprised companions,"yuh think we ought t''get a''ringer''on our own account to beat this professional sharp?"
17603	questioned Dick,"anything wrong?"
17603	shouted Mr. Melton;"what are you standing around watching them for?
37803	And I wonder if they''ll still be there when we get within range, if we ever manage it?
37803	And do you think it could be a grizzly?
37803	And now, do we pick out our trees, and squat in them waiting, for him to show up?
37803	And only a week back, you say, Tom?
37803	And so that scared''em off enough for you to get inside, where your gun was, did it?
37803	And the traps he said he had catched up here, do you reckon, now, they''ll be in decent condition, or rusted all to pieces?
37803	And what were you thinking of doing, then?
37803	And what''s in the wind then?
37803	And why did n''t you tell me about it, so I could look up too?
37803	Are you trying to throw a scare into me, Tom?
37803	Begins to seem like somebody lived here, eh?
37803	But I heard you shoot; did you get any fresh meat? 37803 But how about those horns?"
37803	But it''s smaller in the bargain,complained Tom;"do n''t you think you''d better let me have that one?"
37803	But we''ve got enough meat for awhile, have n''t we?
37803	But what are you going to do?
37803	But where d''ye suppose the beggar dropped to, and will we ever be able to get to him? 37803 But why?
37803	But you have n''t said a word to me about it; how long have you known?
37803	Did n''t you say he wanted you to try and lug the traps back, when we started for home again?
37803	Do n''t fancy the tune, perhaps?
37803	Do n''t mean to take any chances, eh?
37803	Do you expect to go up there, then, and have a look in?
37803	Do you mean, why did I fire those three shots?
37803	Do you think we can get down to where my fine old granddaddy buck fell?
37803	Give up the idea of that little hunt for today, Felix?
37803	Go on, and tell me about it; what did you see, the marks of his claws; or had he thrown a lot of bones out of his old den, to make room? 37803 Have you got our route all mapped out above here?"
37803	How about that cache?
37803	How d''ye make that out, Tom?
37803	How does it suit you?
37803	How far away do you live?
37803	How''s that?
37803	However do you expect we''re going to get up there?
37803	I got him, did n''t I, Tom?
37803	If he can stand that howl, he''s equal to anything,the latter remarked, as they finished;"see any signs of our friend yet, Tom?"
37803	Is that any better?
37803	Look at him shake his head, would you, Felix? 37803 Looky here, Tom, do you mean a grizzly?"
37803	Nice to have such a warm welcome, eh, when you get to your future snug home? 37803 Not taking time to bother with the hide tonight, then?"
37803	Say, what d''ye mean ashootin''our dawgs thataways?
37803	Seven all told, in sight, Tom?
37803	Shall we try one more? 37803 Sing?"
37803	Suits me fine; do you really mean it?
37803	That means climb a tree, I take it, eh, Tom?
37803	That would be sort of climbing up on our reverses, and making them pay a profit, would n''t it? 37803 That''s where he enters, is it?"
37803	Then I suppose you just opened the little window, and gave the sassy beasts one, two, three, eh, Felix?
37803	Then some party has been around here a short time ago? 37803 Then you''ve found out where he lives, when he''s at home?"
37803	Think so?
37803	Well, I do n''t suppose you could induce the grizzly to try that same thing; but if he did, you''d think it all right then to plug him, would you? 37803 What d''ye suppose we carried that rope along for if not to use it?
37803	What did I tell you, Felix?
37803	What for? 37803 What for?"
37803	What was it, Felix?
37803	What was that?
37803	Whatever do you suppose killed this deer?
37803	Why, what did you think it could be?
37803	You mean about his being home, or away I reckon?
37803	You said that Old Sol had n''t been up here for several seasons now, did n''t you, Tom?
37803	All ready, are you, Felix?"
37803	And what would Tom want to camp here for in front of the place?
37803	Any idea what sort of a man the hunter was?"
37803	Are cowboys braver than old hunters, that they take such chances?"
37803	Be careful, wo n''t you?"
37803	Besides, would he not have been torn to pieces by the fierce animals, only for his ability to handle that faithful rifle?
37803	Bet you his eyes are that full of smoke he ca n''t see as well as he might, and he''s rubbin''''em with his paws, would you believe it?
37803	But do you see anything that looks like that blessed old dugout?"
37803	Ca n''t you think of something else that has been on your mind more or less for a long time back?"
37803	Come on, tell me what you did, Felix?"
37803	D''ye mean to say they waylaid you there?
37803	Do you think there might be another inside?
37803	Excuse me for asking; but I''m that hungry for a bite of venison I''ll have to forget my manners, Tom?"
37803	Get that, Felix?"
37803	Have n''t found a wolf''s den, have you, with some cubs in it?
37803	He''d have us in a lovely hole now, would n''t he?
37803	How are we going to dislodge that cat, Tom?"
37803	How could a paper interest wolves?
37803	How does that agree with what you''re saying now?
37803	How is it now?
37803	However in the wide world did you keep them off till you grabbed up the gun?"
37803	I get that, all right, Tom; is there where you saw his head sticking out?"
37803	I''d hate to have any critter make way with it, after going to all the trouble I did, eh, Felix?"
37803	I''d like to meet him, would n''t you, Tom?"
37803	If only he could bring home a pail of delicious honey, what would Felix say?
37803	It sure does n''t seem like time for our noon lunch?
37803	Naturally they expected having a glorious time, as what boy, with a love for the woods and the chase, would not?
37803	No matter what it is, we want that shack, do n''t we, Tom?"
37803	Now, Old Claws, will you be good?"
37803	Now, what are you going to tell me?
37803	Now, what''ll we sing?"
37803	Shall we give it up, Tom?"
37803	So just skip out, please-- do you hear, you beggar?"
37803	That would be fine news, would n''t it, now?"
37803	That''s the ticket, Tom; smoke the old rascal out?"
37803	Think you own the earth, do n''t you?
37803	Tom nodded his head, and simply remarked:"What did I tell you?
37803	Trees would n''t figure in it that time, eh?"
37803	Want any help?"
37803	Was that a groan he heard; or did some wild animal give vent to a sound?
37803	What could he do to frighten the beast away?
37803	What d''ye mean upsetting it that way?
37803	What had we better do, Tom?"
37803	What if a howling storm should swoop down upon them, while they were away from the cabin and up here in this elevated eyrie?
37803	What would he not have been willing to pay for a little box of safety matches, that sell for a penny in town?
37803	Which tree do you want, Felix?"
37803	Which was it, Tom?"
37803	Who cares for you?"
37803	Why was it he had so poor a sense of direction, he could not say?
37803	You shot something, did n''t you?"
37803	but ai n''t he just a jim dandy, though?
37803	echoed Felix,"do you think that''s all it was?
37803	he exclaimed, pointing to one side;"what''s been going on, d''ye suppose?
37803	how about the day after tomorrow?"
37803	my, ai n''t he mad as hops, though?"
37803	then you made the discovery while we were coming down the mountain; is that it, Tom?"
37803	what did I tell you, old boy?"
37803	would you hear that, now?"
38018	''Do you wish to win fame and wealth thereby?'' 38018 ''Must I be kind to Spotted Bear?
38018	About when will that be?
38018	Ah, Omney-- see?
38018	All right, Tally, but do n''t you think the girls ought to share in the reward for the wolves? 38018 All the same, others take these trips safely,--why should n''t experienced scouts?"
38018	And the ladies?
38018	Anything left in Pandora''s box for us poor creatures?
38018	Are they having fits?
38018	Are those the wolves we heard last night?
38018	Are you the Indian maiden the guide was to meet to- day?
38018	Art hungry? 38018 As it was impossible to''travel light''with two bears, is n''t it much better the way we arranged it, girls?"
38018	As they are tried and trusty scouts, they are fit for any trial of courage or endurance-- is that enough?
38018	Because we were_ on_ that one,--but which one was it?
38018	But how did you manage to get down to the promontory, Julie?
38018	But there_ was_ a flat meadow where we camped, was n''t there?
38018	But what is there to put it in?
38018	But where is Jolt?
38018	Ca n''t Featherweight sit still?
38018	Ca n''t we catch them and train them?
38018	Ca n''t you stop it?
38018	Can we find a better place for dinner than this grand cliff?
38018	Dear, you will persuade Gilly not to lead us into such places?
38018	Did any one hang up the saddles to- night?
38018	Did you say he was standing upon his feet?
38018	Did you think a dead one made those tracks?
38018	Did you? 38018 Do n''t I always manage to get out of trouble again without causing any fatality-- only amusement for the Troop?"
38018	Do n''t you suppose others have been in this beautiful spot? 38018 Does that mean we ca n''t go any farther than Steamboat Springs?"
38018	Eager-- what for? 38018 Gilly, how came these vast mountains here?"
38018	Gilroy, how do you explain the queer fact that the higher we go on these grand heights, the more stunted we find the trees? 38018 Going to get wet, Tally?"
38018	Got packs out, Tally?
38018	Have you been there, yet?
38018	Have you formed_ any_ idea of how we are going to travel to the Divide?
38018	He and Mr. Gilroy seem to get on so wonderfully, do n''t they?
38018	How can you be sure you have killed this demon?
38018	How far is the Continental Divide from Loveland?
38018	How long shall you folks want to use the horses?
38018	How many canoes have you?
38018	How many horses will you need?
38018	How so?
38018	I had thought of doing that, but the point at issue now seems Wyoming''to be or not to be?''
38018	I wonder what sort of an outfit the guide will take?
38018	If Tally knew of this place,--and it is evident that he did,--why did he not tell us of it, so that we could climb up and see it in the morning? 38018 If every one can have a mountain named after them, why ca n''t I have one called''Juliet''s Peak''?"
38018	If five scouts dangle from my apron- strings, how can I scramble for myself?
38018	If it blows this way, what must we do?
38018	If we agree to tie ourselves to your apron- strings, Verny, will you feel resigned to our going?
38018	If we are so near by, why ca n''t we visit them all?
38018	Is Mr. Lewis going right back to Denver, did you say?
38018	Is Tally back?
38018	Is it named Gory, Gilly, because so many Red Men scalped the early settlers out here?
38018	Is it the winter''s snow that piles up on mountaintops and freezes?
38018	It''s a Sodom and Gomorrah for desolation, is n''t it?
38018	Jo, is there anything wrong with my eyes? 38018 Julie, what_ do you_ mean?"
38018	Must we go down any of them?
38018	Now, Julie, do you still care to experience a hand- to- hand battle with a slide?
38018	Now, how do you s''pose? 38018 Now, what can that be?
38018	O Julie, you''re not going daffy, are you?
38018	Oh, a real live bear?
38018	Oh, are they, really?
38018	Oh, where? 38018 Oh, why did we ever come this way?"
38018	Scout hear beaver work? 38018 See on limb dere-- where deer must go if she like to get out?"
38018	Sha n''t we take our sleeping- bags, Verny?
38018	Shall we camp here for luncheon?
38018	Shall we follow that trail around the pond?
38018	Tally, did you look after the leather?
38018	Tally, shall we reach Boulder to- night?
38018	Tally,called she, turning to beckon the Indian,"see if this is smoke, will you?"
38018	Tell me, do ledge end in hole like dis- a- one do?
38018	Then we ca n''t go through, can we?
38018	Wad yuh tink, Omney-- do we try him?
38018	Was ever cathedral so solemn, so beautiful, as this of Nature?
38018	Was it big enough for rabbit pie?
38018	Well, Tally, how about trekking northwards?
38018	Well, Tally, what do you make it out to be?
38018	Well, what of that? 38018 What do they intend doing with those they lasso, Gilly?"
38018	What do you mean, Tally?
38018	What do you mean, boys?
38018	What do you mean?
38018	What do you scouts intend doing with Snap and Yap when we start on the trail again?
38018	What does that mean, Uncle? 38018 What for?
38018	What is it afraid of, Tally?
38018	What is it, Gilly?
38018	What is it, Tally?
38018	What is it-- a rattler?
38018	What now, Tally?
38018	What old man?
38018	What was your next point of interest, had we gone over the pass as you had planned?
38018	What''s that?
38018	What''s the map for? 38018 What''s the matter with him?"
38018	What''s the matter?
38018	When can we start for the Rockies, Gilly?
38018	When?
38018	Where do you plan to go from here, Gilly?
38018	Where is he now, Gilly?
38018	Where? 38018 Why are you going this way, Julie-- why not stick to the shore line?"
38018	Why ca n''t Mr. Lewis take back our pelts and the cubs, and express them home for us?
38018	Why do n''t you take the money and deposit it for them in a bank?
38018	Why do n''t_ you_?
38018	Why do they build another pond when there is such a big one above?
38018	Why not eat, Maiden? 38018 Why not have Verny and Betty, the two tender scouts of the troop, stay and strike camp?"
38018	Why not let that Indian take charge of one canoe? 38018 Why should they swarm about now, when we never saw one on the way here?"
38018	Why stop there, then? 38018 Why, is n''t that funny?
38018	Will you tell me what I want to know--_was there a meadow_?
38018	Yes, Gilly, why are they not scattered impartially over the land?
38018	Yes, Verny, just like Julie''s dream, eh? 38018 Yes; did n''t every one say how well she was after last summer''s camp in the Adirondacks?"
38018	You do n''t think we shall be running any risks, do you?
38018	You say you tak him?
38018	You seem not to like our luxurious schooner?
38018	You would n''t say that was a little fire, would you?
38018	A fire in the forest?"
38018	All that volume of sound?"
38018	And why is n''t this old castle on the road- map, with a note telling tourists of the magnificent view from this height?"
38018	Any change in plans?"
38018	At such sounds, the girls would murmur sleepily,"Did you see any old trees near camp?"
38018	Back out all along this narrow ledge?"
38018	But she coyly asked,''What must I do to keep my word with you?''
38018	CHAPTER ELEVEN ON TO FLAT TOP MOUNTAIN What would a trip in the Rockies mean without an Indian guide?
38018	Can Messer Gilloy see much wind thoo glass?"
38018	Could the latter be a descendant of this Medicine Man''s?
38018	Did they not leap and run joyously without a sound?
38018	Did you ever see them act like this before?"
38018	Did you think I wanted to be left on a desert shore?"
38018	Didst ever think of how Spotted Bear caused the child to suffer when it went down in the water?"
38018	Do we have to cross it?"
38018	Do you think the mule is all right?"
38018	Don''you know dem bad rats eat all up?"
38018	Every little while they asked,"_ Now_ how far are we from Boulder?"
38018	Finally Julie cried, scornfully,"Can you find anything in that scene besides patches where food is grown?"
38018	Hast aught to say to that?"
38018	Have we lost him?"
38018	Have we trailed along some other way?"
38018	Have you ever felt like this before-- as if you could hike as far as the Continental Range without feeling weary?"
38018	Here is a party with a number of canoes but no horses, and here are we with horses but no canoes-- see my point?"
38018	How about it?"
38018	How could the poor thing hope to escape from a panther and a lynx?
38018	How do you like it?"
38018	I fancy Tally knows horseflesh and would not be taken in by the dealers, eh, Gilly?"
38018	Is n''t it awful to have had such freedom all summer and then return to prison cells again for feet and body?"
38018	Is not this life in grand communion with Mother Nature better than the cliff- dwellers in great cities ever have?"
38018	Julie began to question the wisdom of this reckless act of hers; but having come so far, how could she back out gracefully?
38018	Julie made no demur, although she said, warningly,"Do n''t let go of the canoe for a second, will you?"
38018	Later, as they sat about the campfire, Betty asked,"Gilly, what is it that makes a glacier?"
38018	Losing half the scouts in a whirlpool because of a silly notion of Juliet''s?"
38018	Mink Maiden was surprised, but when he spoke, saying,''I am waiting for you to be my bride-- will you come with me?''
38018	More trouble?"
38018	Mr. Gilroy suggested,"Can you two men spend the day with Mrs. Vernon and the scouts?
38018	Now can you blame me for quickly abbreviating it to Tally?"
38018	Now, how does that strike every one?"
38018	Ruth then said,"I''ve heard a lot about Hot Sulphur Springs, Gilly, but what thrilling sight shall we find there?"
38018	Shall I read it to you now?"
38018	Shall us go?"
38018	Shall we find any wild animals?"
38018	Tally glared at Omney,"Why for you do dat?
38018	Tally offered no protest, but removed the pipe from his lips and asked,"You like Blackfeet tale?"
38018	Tally turned to Omney,"Did him fix harness?"
38018	That effectually halted the others, who were so close behind him, and Mr. Vernon leaned over to ask,"What is it, Tally?"
38018	That is the easiest part of all, but how will other tourists know that that particular peak is named for_ you_?"
38018	The moment the canoes came near enough, the Captain gazed up, and asked,"How can you get down, Julie?"
38018	The old man frowned at her fiercely, and mumbled,"Art obstinate?
38018	Then she said,"Have you been in the Rockies long?"
38018	Then the Captain will feel safer, and her responsibility will be less?"
38018	This proved to be the fact, for he gazed searchingly at the girl, and then murmured,"Well?"
38018	Vernon?"
38018	What are those tiny cowboys doing to the cattle?"
38018	What do you say, Captain?"
38018	What new calamity was now at hand-- and mother lying there so still and helpless?
38018	What say you,--shall we detour to give the scouts an idea of how they do it?"
38018	What say you?"
38018	What shall we do about it?"
38018	What would you do next?"
38018	When they met Tally, who was waiting at the place appointed, Julie asked,"Where do we go from here, Gilly?"
38018	Why do n''t you fight?"
38018	Why should this master want to breakfast with an Indian squaw-- for such he was expecting?
38018	Why strike me for his crimes?"
38018	With expert Indians to guide the crafts, why do you feel so timid about the trip?"
38018	Would we be coming from the interior?"
38018	Would you advise me to loan the horses Gilly gave security for, to a party of strangers we never saw in our lives?"
38018	_ Was_ there a meadow over there?"
38018	where?"
38018	where?"
45720	Are those elk? 45720 Arm tired?"
45720	Awake, Jack?
45720	But Hugh,said Jack, as he hurried down the hill,"what made the other deer fall; did I hit both?
45720	Can you get your leg out? 45720 Did Red say anything about the Indians at Washakie?"
45720	Did n''t you see the way that fellow was going? 45720 Did you ever see a fight, Hugh?"
45720	Do you mean one of the little wolves that run down antelopes, Uncle Will?
45720	Do you think they could have missed the train?
45720	Do you think they would have tried to kill you, if they had seen you?
45720	Do you want to lead the way, Jack?
45720	Goin''to tie the stirrups, Tony?
45720	Hallo, Hugh,interrupted John,"you get it one coyote?"
45720	Have n''t you forgot something?
45720	Have the coyotes been bothering them at all?
45720	He keeps a pretty good look- out, do n''t he?
45720	Hello, Jack, are you there?
45720	How are the calves, Hugh?
45720	How are you going to feed and water them puppies? 45720 How are you, Hugh?"
45720	How do you manage to poison them, Hugh?
45720	How do you mean, Hugh?
45720	How far below us are they, Hugh?
45720	I do n''t know; what?
45720	I wonder what the men thought?
45720	Is it time to get up, Hugh?
45720	Is it?
45720	Is n''t he pretty, though? 45720 It''s splendid, is n''t it?"
45720	No, I did n''t know that,said Jack,"how did they do it?
45720	No, that sinopah-- what you say it, Hugh?
45720	Now, d''ye see,he said,"how I hold it?
45720	Now, the question is,he said to himself, as he hurried toward camp,"can I find my way back to Hugh?
45720	Oh, Hugh, what''s that?
45720	Oh, Hugh,he called,"ca n''t we take this bundle with us?
45720	Oh, I do n''t know, Uncle Will; how far are they?
45720	Oh, Mr. Monroe,said Jack,"is that a coyote off there?"
45720	Oh, Uncle Will,he said,"is that you?"
45720	Oh, Uncle Will,said Jack, grasping his uncle''s arm,"what are those?
45720	Oh, may I go up alone and do it all myself? 45720 Oh, what is it?"
45720	Oh, would n''t I like to? 45720 Pshaw, Hannah,"said Jack,"what are you talking about?
45720	See''em?
45720	Sho,said Hugh;"did n''t it hurt you when he bucked with you, Sis?"
45720	Suppose you want it kill''i m one h''elk? 45720 Tell me, John, are the young men going to war much these days?
45720	That yelling?
45720	That''ll be bully; let''s do it; but can we get close enough to see him well?
45720	That''ll be splendid, Hugh, if I can only do it; but how can I teach him? 45720 The smartest animal that travels the prairie, are n''t they, Hugh?"
45720	Then the elk are travelling around a good deal now, are they, Hugh?
45720	Then they''ve caught antelopes, have they?
45720	There are no Indians about here now, are there, Hugh?
45720	There, what''d I tell ye?
45720	This is nice and warm, is n''t it?
45720	This is the time of year when they whistle, is n''t it, Hugh?
45720	This your nephew? 45720 Two elk, Mr. Monroe; oh, where?"
45720	Was n''t there any way to have cured it?
45720	We''ve got a long way to go, but do you suppose we''ll be able to find another nest near the ranch?
45720	Well now, son, ai n''t you thought that out yet?
45720	Well, Jack,said he,"are you ready to start in to- morrow to be a cowboy?"
45720	Well, Uncle Will,said Jack,"first, I want to know how long it will take us to get out to the ranch?"
45720	Well, but Hugh, where is the antelope? 45720 Well, but how do you catch them then?"
45720	Well, hold on now; what will we do for a whistle? 45720 Well, kid,"said Hugh,"did ye get any coyotes to- day?"
45720	Well, looks like it, do n''t it?
45720	Well, now look here,said Joe,"you know that orphan colt?
45720	Well, now, what do you suppose I found when I got down there?
45720	Well,said Hugh,"did n''t you ever see that before?
45720	Were those coyotes that were running around? 45720 What did the thing feel like that hit you on the head, son?"
45720	What do you mean by reading sign, Uncle Will?
45720	What do you mean by that, Hugh?
45720	What fellow do you mean, Hugh,said Jack;"the thing that made that noise?"
45720	What had we better do, Hugh?
45720	What in the world''s that, Hugh?
45720	What is it, Hannah?
45720	What is it, Hugh?
45720	What is it, Joe?
45720	What is that enormous creature you have there, Johnny?
45720	What kind of trap is that, Hugh?
45720	What makes those mountains look so grey, Uncle Will? 45720 What was it, Hugh?"
45720	What''s Great South Bay, and where''s it at?
45720	What''s the matter with you?
45720	Where had I better go, Hugh? 45720 Where in time did these fish all come from, Hugh?"
45720	Where''s the bear, Uncle Will,said Jack,"where did he go to?"
45720	Why did you leave all the dogs at home?
45720	Why do n''t you see?
45720	Why does Rube sit on his head, Hugh?
45720	Why does n''t he move when his eyes are covered, Hugh?
45720	Why, Hugh,said Jack,"how in the world did you find where they were?"
45720	Why, I did, of course,answered Jack;"what''s the matter with it?
45720	Why, Jack, what are you doing on the orphan? 45720 Why, Johnny, Johnny,"said his mother,"can this be you?
45720	Why, Uncle Will, do n''t you suppose I know that? 45720 Why,"said the baggage master, who seemed to be recovering his nerves,"he does seem gentle, do n''t he?"
45720	Will it ever get tame? 45720 You killed it, did you, son?
45720	You''re sure you do n''t want to back out now? 45720 After a moment''s hesitation, he exclaimed,Oh, that''s blood, is n''t it?
45720	Are all antelopes that way?
45720	Are these the regular deer that we have in the east?"
45720	Are you a pretty good whistler?
45720	As he saw Jack on the fence he called out:"You''ve come down to get your horse, have you?
45720	As the men were leaving the house after dinner, Jack called to Hugh and said,"Hugh, ca n''t you think of something for me to do?
45720	At length Hugh bent toward him and whispered,"Do n''t you see his horns?"
45720	Before they had stabled the horses they heard a clear voice calling,"Why, Charley, what''s the matter with Blue Dan?
45720	But how do you catch all these things?
45720	But was he charging us, Hugh?"
45720	But what was that big bird that made such a noise when it flew up?
45720	Can you whistle loud?"
45720	Could we get a shot, do you think?
45720	Did I hit him or did I miss?"
45720	Did ye ever think of that?"
45720	Did you feel like running?"
45720	Did you see any tracks, father?
45720	Did you sleep well?
45720	Do n''t ye see they''ve got stone points?
45720	Do n''t you see you''ve got the saddle on hind side before?
45720	Do n''t you want to try it now, and surprise your uncle and the old man?"
45720	Do you feel pretty sore this morning?"
45720	Do you see that low place in the line of the horizon, just to the right of the horses''heads?
45720	Do you see that white rock, the small one to the left of that sage- bush?
45720	Do you see there, near the top?
45720	Do you suppose any of those wild horses will throw Tony?"
45720	Do you think he''ll be very tough?
45720	Do you think we''ll get any game to- day?"
45720	Do you think you can do it?"
45720	Do you think you could carry it?
45720	Do you want to come down to the corral?"
45720	Do you want to take it with you or to leave it here?"
45720	Does n''t it?"
45720	Get it some meat?"
45720	Have they got tame yet?"
45720	He paused to relight his pipe, and Jack said:"But how did they know that these were the people who killed the emigrants?"
45720	He said to him:"Now, son, when we get near those antelope, who is going to do the hunting, you or me?"
45720	He thought for awhile, and decided that he must make a torch; but what could he make it of?
45720	How are you, my son?
45720	How could that be?
45720	How did ye do it?"
45720	How would that go with the berries, eh?"
45720	How''s the old man?
45720	I did forget all about that, did n''t I?
45720	I guess you did, and I do n''t believe you remember much about getting here last night, do you?
45720	I see that Hugh has caught your horse; do you think that you can catch his?"
45720	I''d rather do that than have any help,"said Jack,"Can I start now?"
45720	Is the horse lying on it?"
45720	Is there any other wild animal besides the coyote that catches them?"
45720	Is your gun loaded?"
45720	It bumped, did n''t it?
45720	It was a pretty sharp trick now, was n''t it?"
45720	It''s cold too, is n''t it?"
45720	Jack asked:"What is frightening the horses, Uncle Will?"
45720	Living up north, yet?
45720	Now, how do you suppose they do that, Jack?"
45720	Now, son, can you go back to where the horses are and bring them on, while Charley and I butcher?"
45720	Now, what do you expect that is?"
45720	Pointing to it, he said,"You kill it''''i m bear, Hugh?"
45720	Queer, is n''t it?
45720	Right after dinner?"
45720	Say,"he continued, as he rose to his feet and looked at the pack horse,"who saddled that horse?"
45720	See these presents?
45720	See''i m h''elk comin''h''up this side?"
45720	Son,"he continued, speaking to Jack,"do you want to go along?"
45720	Sturgis?"
45720	Suppose maybe you goin''back sem time my go?"
45720	That was a pretty big bird, but not as big as a sage hen, is it?"
45720	That''s queer, is n''t it?"
45720	Up on the mountain?"
45720	Was it a partridge?
45720	Well, well; how are you?
45720	Were you much scared?"
45720	What are they?
45720	What can it be?"
45720	What do you say?"
45720	What do you say?"
45720	What scared them?"
45720	When Jack reached him, Hugh said,"Well, you did n''t have no trouble, did you?"
45720	When he reached it Hugh said to him with a smile:"Where''s your bird?"
45720	When you goin''back there?"
45720	Where did the tide come from?
45720	Where''d ye hit it?"
45720	While they were attending to the horses, Jack said to Charley,"How are the wolf puppies getting along?
45720	Why you no make''em trap like H''ingin?"
45720	Will Sturgis, what have you done?
45720	Would you rather sit here till it is ready, or go out doors?"
45720	You have plenty of time before dinner, have n''t you?"
45720	You see this little hole?
45720	You see those two little blue dogs, the smooth ones, the two that are ahead?
45720	You take these little chickadees or these little brown ground birds; you never heard of them growing as big as an eagle or goose, did you?
45720	You took notice, did n''t you, how close that one that howled was to us?
45720	called Jack,"ca n''t I let him out?
45720	he called back,"There are thirteen eggs; ca n''t we take them along?"
45720	he said;"do you think we can get up to them?"
45720	or was it just the way the colts were killed?"
45720	said his uncle,"or shall one of us go first?"
10124	''Autocrat?'' 10124 A treat?"
10124	Always?
10124	And can you feel the rosy cheeks and bright eyes, too?
10124	And could n''t we visit the Moki Indian reservation?
10124	And do n''t you notice how well I walk, and how little use I have now for the crutches?
10124	And freeze to death?
10124	And which way do we go then?
10124	And who''s going? 10124 And why should she?"
10124	And you accepted such a condition?
10124	And you ca n''t break your bonds and escape?
10124	Are coyotes considered dangerous?
10124	Are such things expensive, sir?
10124	Are they all named Haggerty?
10124	Are we to have no choice in the matter of partners?
10124	Are you afraid, Major?
10124	Are you ready?
10124	Are you sure to leave to- morrow, Uncle John?
10124	But I do n''t mind it in the least, Beth; do you?
10124	But after this?
10124	But how can you arrange to carry so much, Uncle?
10124	But sometime? 10124 But what is the use?"
10124	But what''s the news?
10124	But who is to break the news to Myrtle?
10124	But why did you leave Chicago?
10124	Ca n''t Uncle John have an idea if he wants to?
10124	Can he manage to do that?
10124	Can we make her comfortable on a long ride?
10124	Can you nod guess?
10124	Can you put it on runners, like a sledge?
10124	Canned er fresh?
10124	Could anyone be more sweet or lovely?
10124	Could n''t Wampus throw us a rope?
10124	Could she ride so far in an automobile?
10124	Dan''l?
10124	Danger?
10124	Did you call him Mr. Jones, sir?
10124	Did you engage a carriage, Major?
10124	Did you ever see a palm tree waving in New York; or daisy bushes as tall as a man; or such masses of roses and flowering vines? 10124 Did you find it in your dreams, then?"
10124	Did your friend say anything about Hades Ranch?
10124	Dit ve say shtand still, or dit ve nod say shtand still?
10124	Do n''t you know his address?
10124	Do n''t you like him, Daddy?
10124	Do none of you ever reform?
10124	Do we go to Imperial?
10124	Do you believe there can be joy for me anywhere in the world?
10124	Do you mean to keep him?
10124	Do you really suppose we are on that man''s ground-- his ranch, as he calls it?
10124	Do you sometime gamble?
10124	Does Mr. Tobey own this place?
10124	Does he know you are coming?
10124	Eggs?
10124	Eh? 10124 Ever been in this town before, Wampus?"
10124	Fitted up?
10124	For that bit of rags and meat?
10124	Haggerty said--"Did n''t I give you Haggerty''s record, then?
10124	Haggerty says--"Is that a rabbit or a squirrel? 10124 Has he a large party, then?"
10124	Has he been in Leadville long?
10124	Have I overlooked anyone?
10124	Have n''t I?
10124	Have n''t you any manners? 10124 Have you come into my life?"
10124	Have you ever been overland to California?
10124	Have you ever driven an''Autocrat''car?
10124	Have you money?
10124	How about the brakeman he threw off the train?
10124	How long have you had him there?
10124	How would Ethiopia or Hindustan strike you?
10124	I follow you-- see? 10124 I go home unt say:''Who am I?''
10124	I wonder what the poor brutes would think if they were stuffed full for once in their lives?
10124	I wonder who he is?
10124	Is Mr. Jones rich, then?
10124	Is everything ready?
10124	Is it a big town playing peek- a- boo among those hills, Uncle John, or is this really all there is to the place?
10124	Is it so bad as that?
10124	Is it still to be California?
10124	Is n''t there any other road?
10124	Is this story true?
10124	Jones, and a miner?
10124	Oh; we''re not going to ride in it, then?
10124	Right?
10124	Rooms?
10124	Suppose he should be wandering now?
10124	Tell me, Mr. Jones,she said, turning to him as he sat beside her;"what have you found?"
10124	Tell me,she said;"why should you go to Leadville at all, now that you have no friend or relative there to care for you?"
10124	Tell me: did Haggerty recommend Wampus?
10124	Then where is she? 10124 Then you know the country?"
10124	Those things may be well enough in their way,observed the Major,"but is their way our way?
10124	Wampus,said the Major,"do you know the proper definition of a fool?"
10124	Want meat fer supper?
10124	Was n''t that enough?
10124	What are we to understand by this outrage?
10124	What are you doing there?
10124	What are you going to do?
10124	What do you mean by that?
10124	What do you mean by this infernal nonsense?
10124	What do you mean, sir, by this rebellious attitude?
10124	What do you mean?
10124	What do you think you will do?
10124	What do you think, my dears?
10124	What do you want?
10124	What is Uncle Anson''s other name?
10124	What is he doing?
10124	What is her uncle''s name?
10124	What is it, then?
10124	What is it?
10124	What is the Imperial road?
10124	What is your price?
10124	What kind of meat?
10124	What make him so? 10124 What make him, then?"
10124	What new idea has Uncle John conceived?
10124	What on earth is Mumbles?
10124	What would you propose doing?
10124	What would you suggest, Patsy?
10124	What''s his other name-- Anson?
10124	What''s the odds?
10124	What''s the programme, John?
10124	What''s the use? 10124 When did you arrive?"
10124	When do we start, Uncle?
10124	When you have Wampus, what more you want?
10124	Where''s the fiddle?
10124	Which way do we go?
10124	Who cares for danger? 10124 Who is Haggerty?"
10124	Who is he?
10124	Who is''he,''Wampus?
10124	Who told you so?
10124	Who''s Mumbles?
10124	Why did you not tell us?
10124	Why do you force me to be persistent?
10124	Why not take her to California with us?
10124	Why not to- morrow?
10124	Why not? 10124 Why not?
10124	Why not?
10124	Why not?
10124	Why not?
10124	Why were you not independent enough to earn your own living?
10124	Why were you sent here into exile?
10124	Why?
10124	Why?
10124	Will they continue this Grand Opera chorus all night?
10124	Will they wear their revolvers at the dance?
10124	Will we ever get back?
10124	Would we care to ask him?
10124	Would your English ladies at home consent to dance with armed men?
10124	You wo n''t mind being left alone, will you?
10124	You-- you are Mr. Jones, I believe, of-- of Boston?
10124	You?
10124	Air yeh prepared to pay fer thet order in solid cash?"
10124	Am I now great?
10124	And if I shed my gun what''s to prevent some one else getting the drop on me?"
10124	And that''s a beginning, is n''t it?
10124	And why should I do so?
10124	Any milk?"
10124	Are n''t they sweet, and do n''t they remind you of brides?"
10124	But he''s a fine driver, is n''t he?"
10124	But how about provisions?"
10124	But what''s to prevent more of those vermin from crawling into the tent during the night?"
10124	But why should it be?
10124	But wo n''t you take one of my friends, also?
10124	But your trouble is over now?"
10124	Ca n''t you all see the change?"
10124	Can you, John Merrick, sit there like a lump o''putty and do nothing, when your niece and my own darlin''Patsy is lost-- or strayed or stolen?"
10124	Could this young fellow have really merited his fate?
10124	Do n''t I know it?
10124	Do n''t you realize, my dear, that this accident has probably deprived you of the means of earning a livelihood?"
10124	Do you know, sir, I at first suspected you might be the missing uncle?
10124	Do you want Mumbles in your lap?
10124	Eh, Patsy?"
10124	Eh, boys?"
10124	Eh?
10124	Eh?"
10124	For what is wise?
10124	For what?"
10124	Grand?
10124	Has the trip tired you, girls?"
10124	Has your plan matured yet?"
10124	Have n''t I proved it?
10124	Have n''t they any gallantry?"
10124	How can we best assist her?"
10124	How did it get into your head, little one?"
10124	How do you like it, dear?"
10124	How was your own room, Wampus?"
10124	I said he was eccentric, did I not?"
10124	If it were, why should_ I_ come into your life just now?"
10124	Is n''t the joy or sorrow equally divided in life?"
10124	Is not Mister Algy his eye mos''beautiful blacked?"
10124	Iss i d nod a crime-- a vickedness-- eh?"
10124	It was beginning to grow dark, and Beth said, regretfully:"We must get back, girls, and dress for dinner-- an unusual luxury, is n''t it?
10124	It''s well enough to feed ourselves, but what if we ran short of the precious feed for the engines?"
10124	Jones?"
10124	Just we three?"
10124	Me?
10124	My child, why are you so persistent?"
10124	Not badly hurt, I hope, sir?"
10124	Now tell me, Wampus: if I employ you will you be faithful and careful?
10124	Now, my dears, what is it?"
10124	Perhaps, after all, we should be thankful it''s only-- what''s his name?"
10124	Rattlesnake soon eat Mumble up-- eh?
10124	Sir, do the Major swear sometime?"
10124	So the critic turned to his brother- in- law and asked:"Is it fully decided which way we shall go?"
10124	Such being the circumstances, what would you advise?"
10124	Then what am I to do?"
10124	Then why do I sleep in front seat of motor car?"
10124	Then, what_ shall_ I call you?"
10124	Uncle John approached him and said:"Can you tell me, Mr. Ross, who the gentleman is in the corner?"
10124	Vot I can do?
10124	Vot can I do?
10124	Vy nod?
10124	What does it matter if my income is n''t invested properly, or the bond coupons cut when they''re due?
10124	What else did Haggerty tell you?"
10124	What happen to him?"
10124	What is Mumbles doing?"
10124	What more could we ask to see from any one viewpoint?"
10124	What next, Major?"
10124	What right have we to intrude upon them, then?"
10124	What shall we do for Myrtle?
10124	Whatever kept ye out''til this time o''night, Patsy darlin''?"
10124	When do we make the start?"
10124	When do you intend to start?"
10124	Where did you find the thing so suddenly?"
10124	Where''s the Major?"
10124	Who is the host, Uncle John?"
10124	Why do n''t you step out bravely into the roses and sunshine of life, and find the joy that has been denied you?"
10124	Why not?
10124	Why not?"
10124	Why should I?
10124	Will you do this?"
10124	Wo n''t we, boys?"
10124	Would you like to undertake this engagement?"
10124	You stick violin bow in eye some day?"
10124	You''ll get a big touring car, wo n''t you, Uncle John?"
10124	exclaimed Wampus, nodding approvingly"You fight duel with him?
10124	said Uncle John;"how could you be arrested for speeding when the automobile was on a fiat car?"
45690	All right,said Jack;"I''ll go you; but we have n''t time to set the traps to- night, have we?"
45690	And what is a dead- fall?
45690	Are they just like the plains buffalo, Hugh?
45690	Are those beavers?
45690	Are those horses coming?
45690	Are you going to take a tent with you, Hugh?
45690	Are you willing to lend a hand to skin this bear?
45690	But how long will it take to build it?
45690	But what is this queer, half- bitter taste that it has, Hugh?
45690	But why do n''t those old logs that you were speaking about, rot and disappear?
45690	But, Hugh,Mr. Sturgis went on,"what''s the shortest way to get there; and how would you go?"
45690	But, is not the work very hard?
45690	By the way, Hugh,said Jack,"how much grub will we want to take with us?
45690	Could n''t find any birch?
45690	Did n''t you ever, back East, see a dog get between a woodchuck and his hole? 45690 Did you ever see one opened?"
45690	Did you fire that shot, my boy?
45690	Did you have any trouble with your traps, Hugh?
45690	Do rabbits ever have horns? 45690 Do you know, son,"he went on,"what the best thing in the world is to drag, if you want to make a trail around a trap to bring a bear to it?"
45690	Ever eat any in spring time?
45690	Get it?
45690	Good- evening,said Hugh,"wo n''t you light down and sit?"
45690	Great show, is n''t it, Henry?
45690	Have you any idea, Hugh, about what time the bears come here?
45690	Have you men just come from Rock Creek?
45690	He''s fat and in fine condition, is n''t he, Hugh? 45690 How came it you did n''t stop her with your first shot, son?"
45690	How do you mean ca n''t follow us, Hugh?
45690	How do you mean, Hugh? 45690 How do you mean, Hugh?"
45690	How is it, Hugh,he said,"that geese are found here as late in the season as this?
45690	How many packs do you intend to take, Hugh?
45690	How many young ones do the beaver have?
45690	How?
45690	Hugh,he went on, after a pause,"the Indians must have a great many beliefs and stories about birds and animals, have n''t they?
45690	Hugh,said Jack,"you told me to hang the beaver skin where the animals could not get at it, but what about that bear skin out there?
45690	I am sure I do n''t know, Hugh; what is it?
45690	I got my knowledge about that from the books, but I guess the books do n''t know everything?
45690	I say,he said,"do you live out here?"
45690	I suppose you have no more idea than I have how the fire got started?
45690	I suppose, Hugh, there is no great chance of our being able to shoot any of these animals while we are hunting?
45690	I''ll allow,answered Hugh,"that the geese ought to be on their breeding grounds by this time, but why do you say they ought to be up north?"
45690	I''ve asked that question, too,said Hugh,"and this is what old Saiyeh told me--""Saiyeh-- that''s Mad Wolf, is n''t it, Hugh?"
45690	In that case we ought to start just as soon as we possibly can, ought n''t we?
45690	Is there any other fur there?
45690	It does look fairly ship- shape, does n''t it?
45690	It goes better to- day, son, does n''t it?
45690	It will be quite a job, wo n''t it, Hugh?
45690	It''s a bully good camping place, is n''t it?
45690	It''s got the same old number four in it, has n''t it?
45690	Looks that way, does n''t it?
45690	More than you bargained for, eh, son?
45690	No use to think of hunting there, is there, Hugh?
45690	No,said Henry,"I do n''t think they would; but is there any danger?"
45690	No,said Hugh,"I had better do this part of the business myself, but do n''t you see these riggings have got to be fitted to the animals?
45690	No,said Jack,"that''s so, but I do n''t know enough to make those breast bands and breeching to help you, do I?"
45690	No,said Jack,"what is it?"
45690	Now tell me, Hugh, how do we go from here down into North Park?
45690	Now, Hugh,said Jack,"what do you think about our summer''s trip?
45690	Of course, Hugh, I understand, and I''m glad that you speak to me like this about it; but what do you mean by''a hog under an acorn tree''?
45690	Our skinning knives, Hugh?
45690	Tell me, Hugh,he added after a pause,"what other fur may we expect to see here?"
45690	That was a wonderful knife Mr. Clifford had, was n''t it, Hugh?
45690	Then you got the other cub, did you, Hugh?
45690	Then you think it was a cub that climbed up this tree?
45690	Then, when you get into the high mountains,said Mr. Sturgis,"you think you can get some beaver, do you?"
45690	There, son,he said,"do you see the philosophy of it now?
45690	There,said Hugh,"do you see that fur that grows next to the skin?
45690	Those fellows that have the big horns? 45690 Tired to- night, son?"
45690	Was n''t that a pretty sight, Hugh?
45690	Well, Hugh,said Jack,"what about trapping wolves?
45690	Well, Hugh,said Jack,"what are we going to do to- day?
45690	Well, Hugh,said Jack,"what particular place did you think of going to?"
45690	Well, I do n''t know,said Hugh;"there must be at least one; he makes plenty of noise, does n''t he?"
45690	Well, Jack,said Mr. Sturgis, as they sat at the table,"have you and Hugh had a consultation yet over what you are going to do?"
45690	Well, after that, Hugh, I expect those men had more respect for your advice, did n''t they?
45690	Well, how long ago were those mountains burned over?
45690	Well, son, what luck?
45690	Well, son,said Hugh, when the job of stretching the hide and shading it was ended,"do you feel pretty wolfish?"
45690	Well, where do they live?
45690	Well, why did you make that long ride?
45690	Well,asked Jack,"what''s the matter with trying them to- morrow morning before we got to the traps?"
45690	Well,said Hugh,"is that what you shot at?
45690	Well,said Hugh,"that little cuss rather played it on us, did n''t he?
45690	Well,said Hugh,"why do n''t you take him out and give him a lesson in shooting?"
45690	Well,said Jack to himself,"what sort of fools do these people think we are?
45690	Well,said Jack,"is there any reason why we should not start to- morrow?"
45690	Well,said Jack,"what do you suppose they do that for?
45690	Well,said Jack,"what do you want me to do?
45690	Well,said Jack,"what''s the matter with hunting him up and finding out?"
45690	Well,said Jack,"where do you want to hunt, and what are you going to hunt when you ca n''t see much more than arm''s length ahead of you?
45690	Well,said Jack,"you''ve worked pretty fast, Hugh, have n''t you?
45690	Well,said Mr. Sturgis,"when can you get ready to start?"
45690	Were there two calves with them?
45690	Were you ever snow blind?
45690	What animals are there, Hugh, that kill the beaver? 45690 What are they, Hugh?"
45690	What are those?
45690	What are you going to do to- day, Hugh?
45690	What are you going to do, Hugh?
45690	What became of the cubs, Hugh?
45690	What did the bob- cat do when the beaver dived, Hugh?
45690	What do you mean, Hugh?
45690	What do you mean?
45690	What do you suppose it was they saw, Hugh?
45690	What do you think about it, Jack?
45690	What is it, Hugh?
45690	What is the fisher, Hugh?
45690	What is this bird you call a rail, son?
45690	What sort of a gun is yours?
45690	What was the matter?
45690	What''s the Michigan, Hugh-- a place or a stream?
45690	When was that, Hugh?
45690	Where are you going now?
45690	Where are you going to look for that antelope, Hugh?
45690	Where do you mean, Hugh,said Mr. Sturgis,"down in the Parks of Colorado?"
45690	Where is he?
45690	Where was that, Hugh?
45690	Which do you think would be better, Hugh?
45690	Why is it, Hugh, that there are no trout in the Platte River?
45690	Why is that, Hugh?
45690	Why, Hugh,said Jack,"have you seen any sign?"
45690	Why, how''s that, Hugh? 45690 Why, yes, Hugh, that does seem queer; but where do the trout come from that are in the other Rocky Mountain streams?
45690	Why, yes,said Jack,"we can go on, but where do you want to go?"
45690	Why, you are pretty nearly what they call an''old timer''out here, are n''t you? 45690 Why,"said Jack,"did n''t you notice that she saw us and moved just as I fired?"
45690	Why,said Jack,"do n''t you know the wild mountain sheep?"
45690	Would you mind if I tried to help you?
45690	Yes,Jack went on,"I suppose they are, but is that what is going to happen to all the wild animals and birds in this country?
45690	Yes,assented Jack,"it does, of course; and what tremendous coats these horses get in this country, do n''t they?"
45690	You catch them with dead- falls, do you, Hugh?
45690	You did, eh?
45690	You do n''t have the name of Whiskey Jack for these birds out here, do you, Hugh?
45690	You have n''t wasted any time, have you? 45690 Your medicine, Hugh,"asked Jack,"what is that?"
45690	A lively place, is n''t it?"
45690	After a while Henry seemed to tire of this inaction, and said to Jack,"What are we going to do, Jack?
45690	After the talk had a little quieted down, and supper was being cooked for the boys, Jack asked Hugh,"Where does this meat come from, Hugh?"
45690	Are there other animals, the meat of which is affected by the touching of the hide?"
45690	Are they hard to catch, or is it not much trouble to catch young wolves?"
45690	Are they not worth trapping?
45690	As the two started on Jack looked at the sun and asked,"Do you know what time it is, Hugh?"
45690	As they were at work removing the animal''s entrails, Jack said,"Now, what shall we try to carry back?"
45690	At last he spoke to Hugh about it, and said,"How many of those coyotes do you think there are yelling out there, Hugh?"
45690	CHAPTER VII A TALK ABOUT BEAVER"Well, now, Hugh,"asked Jack,"what can you tell me about beaver trapping?"
45690	Ca n''t we go on?"
45690	Can you tell me if we''ll do that, because unless we do we better get back down onto the flat and hunt some other way across the mountains?"
45690	Clifford?"
45690	Could she have touched the bait and then jumped back while the log was falling?"
45690	Curious thing, is n''t it, son, that these little fawns do n''t give out any scent?"
45690	Did n''t you ever hear of that before?"
45690	Did you ever see a muskrat house back East?"
45690	Did you ever see anything like it?"
45690	Did you see more than the one as we came up, son?"
45690	Do n''t you know that is what the beaver feed on, and, of course, the flesh tastes of it?
45690	Do n''t you see there in that dam some green leaves sticking up?
45690	Do they store up food in that way and go back to it when they are hungry?"
45690	Do you expect to see any Indians, Hugh?"
45690	Do you know what sort of an axman Jones is?"
45690	Do you mind coming along?"
45690	Do you remember, Hugh, how crazy I was to go off on a war party with Joe and Bull Calf and some of that outfit, one summer up with the Piegans?"
45690	Do you want to take any of this meat along?
45690	Got everything ready?"
45690	Have n''t I ever told you about that wolf that Billy Collins killed three or four years ago at the ranch?"
45690	Have n''t you noticed something like smoke off to the west?
45690	Have you ever looked carefully at these dams?"
45690	Have you seen any of the Indians?"
45690	Have you thought of what you want to do?"
45690	Have you tried it at a target?"
45690	He put the shell in his pocket, and then asked,"Which way was your gun pointed?"
45690	How are you getting on on your side?"
45690	How are you going to know when you get an egg back East what bird it belongs to?"
45690	How did you get him?"
45690	How long are you going to be here?"
45690	How was he hit, Hugh?"
45690	I believe the best thing for us to do is to take up these traps, skin these bears and whatever beaver we get, and then to move along?"
45690	I expect if we put a lash rope over them and pull pretty hard it will smash some of the eggs, wo n''t it?"
45690	I guess you are ready for supper, are n''t you, son?"
45690	I reckon I told you that I had shod both of them, did n''t I, when you said that you wanted me to go in for Jack?"
45690	I told Mrs. Carter that we would be gone for a couple of months; was that right?"
45690	I wonder if I could learn how to do it?"
45690	If we can get up pretty high we may see a sheep or possibly a bull elk, and I guess you''d like a shot at either one, would n''t you?"
45690	Is it so that the beaver will gnaw their feet off to get out of a trap?"
45690	Is n''t that so, Hugh?"
45690	Is that the same creature that the books speak of as the black cat?"
45690	Is there anything we can do for you?"
45690	Is there time enough for us to go down there now?"
45690	It was pretty hard hauling this afternoon, was n''t it?"
45690	It''s a great secret how it''s made, is n''t it, Hugh?
45690	It''s almost the whole width of the continent, is it not?
45690	Jack called back,"Did you hear that, Hugh?
45690	Jack touched Hugh, and when he bent down his head, whispered to him,"Could n''t we crawl up a little closer and watch them?"
45690	Johnson?"
45690	Just as Jack started out with Pawnee, to take him to the barn, Hugh passed by and said,"Does he know you, son?"
45690	May not some of the animals trouble that to- night?"
45690	Now what do you think the Indians up north say about these birds?"
45690	Now, shall I sit here and skin this bear, and leave you to go and pick up the traps, or will you skin the bear and let me go for the traps?"
45690	Now, what do you think?
45690	Of course, it may be a duck, but may it not be a beaver?"
45690	Shall we move, or shall we stop here one more night?"
45690	Suppose I had started from the ranch to trap beaver, and had come down here without any traps, what would you have thought of me?"
45690	Suppose my hand had been a heavy log and that it had fallen across the body of a mink, would n''t it have killed him?"
45690	That seems to me about the nicest trip one could make without going off far; what do you say to it?"
45690	That would mean, I suppose, weighing three or four hundred pounds, would n''t it?"
45690	They do n''t imagine that we are going to leave a good safe place like this and start off over the prairie, do they?"
45690	They''ll think that they''re right in it, wo n''t they; that they''re real old trappers?"
45690	We are learning a great deal in these last two or three days, are we not, Henry?"
45690	What are you going to do?"
45690	What did you see, Hugh?"
45690	What do they call it?"
45690	What do you know yourself about these people?
45690	What do you think?"
45690	What do you think?"
45690	What is a mastodon?"
45690	What is that swimming?
45690	What was it?"
45690	What was it?"
45690	What''s become of them all?"
45690	What''s that you''ve got-- a piece of antelope meat and a lion?"
45690	When Hugh had finished his pipe Jack said,"What shall we do this afternoon, Hugh?
45690	When he got back to camp, Hugh said to him,"Do you know, son, that last antelope you killed is pretty nearly gone?
45690	When they were in the saddle, Jack said to Hugh,"Did you see anything of my buck?"
45690	Where did you learn?"
45690	Where do you suppose you could take Jack this summer so as to give him a good time?
45690	Where do you think it is?"
45690	Where is your father?"
45690	Where were you on the road when it began to snow?"
45690	Why will you not come, Mr. Johnson, and teach me while Jack teaches my boy?"
45690	Wo n''t it be, or did you ever eat beaver when you were with the Blackfeet?"
45690	Would n''t mink go into a trap baited with beaver meat?"
45690	You have seen elephants, have n''t you?"
45690	You mean bighorns?"
45690	You say all they know about him is that they found his bones?"
45690	You see that little knoll over there on the prairie?
45690	and a thousand or fifteen hundred miles north and south?"
45690	asked Jack,"or are they different?"
45690	said Jack;"real horns, you mean, growing out of the head like an antelope''s horns or a cow''s horns?"
32354	A mine; what kind was it, Toby; who lost it; and why have n''t they been able to find it any more?
32354	A wolf is layin''behind them vines; did n''t you hear her give tongue like sixty? 32354 After snatching all you did too, when you went off?"
32354	Ai n''t it possible to creep up closer, Toby? 32354 Allan, is n''t he the young brave we saw hovering around our camp before, and who would n''t stop to be questioned?"
32354	And do n''t be long about passin''that same around, will ye? 32354 And how about your game limb, Giraffe-- was it the right, or the left you bruised so badly on the stones when you fell?"
32354	And just to think of his name being John Kracker; now, what boy could ever keep from twisting that around, and calling him a cracker- jack?
32354	And nobody has ever managed to locate it again, since that day so many years ago; is that what you mean, Toby?
32354	And so you boys have come away out here just to see what we''ve got in these Rockies, eh?
32354	And so, after you learned where he was, and how he came to be thar, I reckon now you boys started to climb up and rescue the other-- how?
32354	And that''s what brings you up here right now, I reckon; you mean to find that hidden mine, and claim it for your mother, and the girls?
32354	And that''s what you call finding the long lost silver mine, do you?
32354	And the chances are, they''ll want to drop in here, now that they know he''s taken up with us?
32354	And the hunting?
32354	And they left him there, did they?
32354	And what do I not owe to you, and the chums of the Silver Fox Patrol? 32354 And when we want to, we can crawl out ourselves, ca n''t we?"
32354	Are you satisfied, Fox, now that you''ve recovered your property-- if that is all he took from your home?
32354	As how? 32354 Boy Scouts, eh?"
32354	Bumpus, what in the wide world are you chuckling at, back there?
32354	But I can begin to see the figure of the wolf now; can you?
32354	But be_ aw_ful careful of that rope, wo n''t you, Thad?
32354	But how about our hunting?
32354	But if he is, how in the dickens could he get the fire to signal with; that''s what bothers me?
32354	But if that was so, how did it come that he never once asked us if we knew a boy by the name of Aleck Rawson?
32354	But the hunting ought to be fine, do n''t you think, Toby?
32354	But think what it''s been for me?
32354	But think what we''ve done since, will you?
32354	But we''re going in, Thad; ai n''t we; you wo n''t let that stand us off, after coming so far, will you? 32354 But what are you waiting for, Thad?"
32354	But what was Aleck doing up there; and where was he at the time?
32354	But what would he be praying for, tell me?
32354	But where''s the rattler?
32354	But why do n''t I see it, then?
32354	But you wo n''t let him get away, will you, Thad?
32354	Can this be him, then; has he been a prisoner all these years?
32354	Can we get up to where you are?
32354	Can you make them out, and is it a bear?
32354	Colonel Knocker did-- will you come and get me?
32354	Come at me again, will you? 32354 Course I am; what d''ye take me for, Toby?
32354	Did Allan send you in to tell me?
32354	Did you ever hear the equal of that?
32354	Did you get him, Thad?
32354	Did you think you heard a voice again?
32354	Do n''t you think we ort to let the rest know what we''re expectin''to do?
32354	Do you expect that this was the only whelp?
32354	Do you feel able to walk with us down into the valley to our camp?
32354	Do you mean Kracker?
32354	Do you mean the fire, Toby?
32354	Do you really think they have gone for good, Toby?
32354	Do you see that, Mr. Rawson, sir? 32354 Do you think we''re close enough, Thad?"
32354	Found what you were looking for?
32354	Get anything?
32354	Go on, then; what is it?
32354	Has he taken to growing a pair?
32354	Have you a bead on her head, Aleck?
32354	Having a hunt up here in the mountains, are you, boys?
32354	He''s just talking for the fun of hearin''himself, that''s what?
32354	How about it, Toby?
32354	How about some of those moonshiners down in North Carolina? 32354 How about that, Toby?"
32354	How about these wolves; shall we drag them out, and throw the carcases away in some hole?
32354	How d''ye expect they ever found that Aleck was no longer on the ledge?
32354	How d''ye suppose he did do it?
32354	How did you get there?
32354	How is that?
32354	How is the cripple crowd coming on these days? 32354 How long would it take us to get up there?"
32354	How much further do we have to climb, Toby?
32354	How much longer do we have to wait for grub?
32354	I do n''t see hide or hair of it, though, Toby?
32354	I was ready to back you up; but then what could you expect from a greenhorn? 32354 If that boy does know the secret, he''s going to open up while he''s got them scouts to back him, ai n''t he?
32354	If we only could warn them?
32354	Is that Sheriff Bob McNulty?
32354	Is that a fact?
32354	Just like I said, ai n''t it, Thad?
32354	Just the four of you?
32354	Kracker and his two men had caught Aleck; and unable to make him tell what they wanted, what do you think the cowards did? 32354 Kracker around here, is he?
32354	Look at Giraffe, would you?
32354	No danger of those fellows coming back to investigate, do you think?
32354	Now I wonder what next?
32354	Now what d''ye think of that? 32354 Now what sort of people could ever be guilty of such a horrible thing as that, I''d like to know?"
32354	Now what?
32354	Now, how''d he know that, Allan? 32354 Now, what d''ye say that for?"
32354	Other older man,--name Artemus Rawson.--Get that?
32354	P''raps, suh, he had a son?
32354	Perhaps it was the other cub, Thad?
32354	Praying?
32354	Rawson-- why, that was the name of the man who found the silver mine up in this country, was n''t it, Toby?
32354	Say looking for Aleck-- that he has robbed uncle-- headed down valley when left here-- Understand that?
32354	Say, Thad, is that agoin''to interfere with our startin''out on our little excursion?
32354	Say, you do n''t mean to tell me they shot a sheep?
32354	Seems to me we ought to see him, if he''s still there?
32354	Shall we go on, now?
32354	Show the old fraud to us, will you? 32354 Sounds to me like that Waffles?"
32354	That all?
32354	That must be the cubs; yes, listen to them growl, would you? 32354 The clue to the lost mine?"
32354	The original discoverer of the wonderful silver mine that has never been located since that time, so long ago?
32354	Then he must have guessed that we knew something about Aleck?
32354	Then it looks like he might a come out of them vines?
32354	Then it''s a she wolf?
32354	Then why''d you turn back, when we was all started for a place where we could git all the eats we wanted, with money to pay for''em?
32354	Then you think the old chap is in there now, do you?
32354	Then you''re of a mind that they have suspicions?
32354	Then you_ do_ know about that?
32354	Think what a guy I''ll be if so be ye do hit, and cut my pore ears off, jest in spite work?
32354	This was when?
32354	Up a place like this?
32354	We ai n''t, hey?
32354	Well, I got him, all right, did n''t I, tell me that?
32354	Well, if that does n''t beat anything?
32354	Well, just to think of it, here''s another Fox, all right?
32354	Well, listen to him, would you; he seems to be begging somebody not to hurt him? 32354 Well, was n''t I wise, then, in sayin''we had ought to snatch up some grub, to bite at on the way?"
32354	Well, why not?
32354	Whar d''ye reckon the critter kim from now?
32354	What are you goin''to do, Thad?
32354	What had we better do, stay around here, or try and work a little closer back to camp, to see what has happened there?
32354	What is it?
32354	What is it?
32354	What is that coming this way?
32354	What is the matter?
32354	What makes you say that last, Thad?
32354	What might that be, suh?
32354	What sort of a land- mark was it you saw?
32354	What sort of chance would we have, a lot of greenhorns who never yet saw a silver mine; against an old- timer like him? 32354 What under the sun does he mean by that talk, Thad?
32354	What was it?
32354	What was that last he said?
32354	What''s he doing now?
32354	What''s that to you?
32354	What''s that you say?
32354	What''s that?
32354	What''s this? 32354 When they took you a prisoner, they searched you, of course, hoping to find the valuable paper?"
32354	Where are you?
32354	Where is it right now, Giraffe?
32354	Who are you?
32354	Who asked you to put your finger in my business?
32354	Who is he; perhaps I might happen to know him?
32354	Who put you there?
32354	Why, what''s this mean, Toby; you a forest ranger camping with a parcel of kids?
32354	Why, you little imp, d''ye know what I''ve a good notion to do with you for this insulting talk?
32354	Why? 32354 Will you have Aleck hide himself?"
32354	Wonder if we''ll see anything more of''em again?
32354	Wonder what he thinks?
32354	You mean Aleck, I guess, do n''t you, Toby?
32354	You mean we''ll just have to work around, and get up there above the place where_ my_ big- horn lies, as dead as a door nail; is that it, Toby?
32354	You''re going to be some keerful, I take it?
32354	You''ve been sizing up the region all day in camp, and laying your plans, if the chance ever came to try them out; is n''t that so, Aleck?
32354	Your father, then, was Jerry Rawson, I take it?
32354	Aleck, are you here?"
32354	Allan hardly knew what to say; but boldly taking up the cudgels he presently remarked:"Well, Mr. Sheriff, what else could we do?
32354	And how under the sun could Thad be warned of the impending trouble?
32354	And now, do we start back to the fissure in the cliff, Thad?"
32354	Anymore?"
32354	Anything new at the camp?"
32354	But never mind about that, Toby; shall I shove this thing over now?"
32354	But seems to me we''ve gone about as close as we ought to, Aleck?"
32354	But what was there to be feared from a mere parcel of half- grown boys?
32354	D''ye reckon he tells the same way you would?"
32354	Do n''t you think so, Toby Smathers?"
32354	Do you expect this can be the silver lode, Thad?"
32354	Do you suppose they''ve gone, and had a falling- out among themselves, and the colonel is threatening to finish his man for running away?"
32354	Easy now with that rope back there; Step Hen, hold to the mule, and keep him quiet, will you?"
32354	First thing Smithy and me want to know is, what under the sun was it all about?"
32354	Fox, you sure must remember me, Aleck; and the good times we used to have, when I lived close to the Reservation?"
32354	Get that, Kracker?"
32354	Give me a hand, wo n''t you, please; I''m ashamed to say my legs seem so silly stiff at the knees I just ca n''t straighten''em out?
32354	Glad to meet up with you; and by the way are you Silver Fox, Red Fox, or Black Fox; though to be sure they all belong to one family?"
32354	Have you got a rope along with you?"
32354	Have you got your gun all ready to shoot, Aleck?"
32354	Have you loaded up again?"
32354	Here''s our camp, ai n''t it?
32354	Hope you''re not limping with that other leg, now?"
32354	How about it, boys?"
32354	How do?
32354	How''s that for a crowd, tell me; and did n''t we come out on top every time?"
32354	I b''lieve they''re weakenin''some, sure I do; but what about me?
32354	I suppose you are Colonel Kracker?"
32354	I wonder, now, has he seen me at work; does he think I''m a traveling photograph man, and wants me to strike him off, in his warpaint and feathers?"
32354	If these here mountings began to roll over on us, we''d be in a nice pickle, now, eh?
32354	Let me have the pleasure of knocking him over, and putting him out of pain?"
32354	Let''s clear out of here?"
32354	Meanwhile, how fared the ambitious big- horn hunters?
32354	Mebbe you would n''t mind tellin''me, to ease up the pain in my legs; while Waffles, he''s astartin''that ere fire?"
32354	Now what d''ye reckon that ere rumbling noise was, we all heard a while ago?
32354	Now where''s the warrant for arresting Aleck, your nephew?
32354	Now, I reckon more''n a few of you saw my service hat on my head just a little while ago; but tell me where it is now, will you?
32354	P''raps you''ve got a guide along with you, too?"
32354	Ready all the while, are you?"
32354	Say, this is what we''ve been lookin''forward to a long time, ai n''t it, fellers?"
32354	Scout Master, please?"
32354	See anything yet, Aleck?"
32354	So Aleck, he was to make himself scarce, was he?
32354	Somebody blow the fire, and make it cook faster, wo n''t you?"
32354	Step Hen asked, eagerly;"or might they just make believe, and hang around here to see if we had Aleck Rawson hidden away somewhere?"
32354	Step Hen, any more snake bites?
32354	Tell me how it can be done, wo n''t you?"
32354	Tell us why you do this?
32354	Thad, can_ you_ tell me where my hat is?"
32354	That old bear trap sure took a nasty grip on your leg, did n''t it, though?"
32354	Then what?
32354	Then, remember Si Kedge and Ed Harkness the game poachers we met later on; and how they were sorry they''d ever bothered with the Silver Foxes?
32354	There he goes now, and see him limp, will you, fellows?
32354	They brought their nerve along with''em I reckon, Toby?"
32354	Think I want to go to my own funeral in a hurry?
32354	Understand all that, Aleck?"
32354	Understand that, sir?"
32354	Was it a voice you heard, Thad?"
32354	We gave''em what they needed, did n''t we?
32354	We''ll keep his friends quiet meanwhile, eh, boys?"
32354	Well, it takes a lot of different people to make a world, do n''t it, fellers?"
32354	What d''ye suppose he did it for?
32354	What do you think, Thad?"
32354	What if these men stayed there until morning, how were the boys to leave?
32354	What might that be?"
32354	What''s this?"
32354	Whatever is that man doing?"
32354	When he had spelled a sentence he would almost invariably add the query,"understand?"
32354	Where come by?
32354	Who sneaked it off me, tell me that?
32354	Why, what was the world coming to, when mere boys began to hold the whip hand, and shape things as they pleased?
32354	With that he turned to the prisoner, and went on to say:"Can you understand; do you know what I am saying?"
32354	Would they mind what he said; or, thinking that orders from a mere boy were not to be taken seriously, would they insist on advancing further?
32354	You do n''t mean to carry the lantern lighted, do you, Thad?"
32354	You said Step Hen was wild to get a big horn, did n''t you, Allan?"
32354	You say the boy had fallen into their hands, and that you rescued him?"
32354	You say you saw me put it there?
32354	You tell the boys what I did, wo n''t you Toby; I''m feelin''kinder tired like?
32354	You understand what I''m saying, I guess, do n''t you?"
32354	asked Davy Jones;"will wolves be apt to rob Smithy of his hard- earned laurels?"
32354	demanded the other, quickly;"do you get a scent of it, too?"
32354	did you hear anything?
32354	do we abandon my big- horn, then?"
32354	do you mean men may be near us?"
32354	do you really mean it, Step Hen?"
32354	how can I ever thank you for getting me out of that scrape?"
32354	is that it sticking up there in the tree, Giraffe?
32354	once more you''ll have it, will you?
32354	please fix it for us, wo n''t you?"
32354	say you so, boy?"
32354	shrilled Smithy, wonderfully excited again;"It must be the sheep I struck with my bullet; see how the poor thing drags that leg after him?
32354	so_ you_ had a touch of the lost mine fever, too, did you?"
32354	that''s it, eh?
32354	was n''t that too cruel of him now, to just bound off on his horns like they were skies, and get on his feet again?
32354	what d''ye suppose ails him?"
32354	what white boy say?"
32354	who goes there?"
32354	you do n''t say?"
32354	you do, eh?
32354	you must mean that big cannon Kracker, and his two friends?"
20710	A what?
20710	Ai n''t seen any Big W cattle, back along the trail, have you?
20710	Ai n''t there nobody but Boy Scouts in these mountains?
20710	Ai n''t we ever goin''to move on?
20710	All ready?
20710	And you''ll take the flag? 20710 Any horses?"
20710	Are n''t you going to give it to us and make them let us go?
20710	Are n''t you going to untie our feet?
20710	Are you good for another pull?
20710	Aw, what difference does that make now?
20710	Aw, what do we care?
20710	Aw, what do you let that one- armed kid bluff you for?
20710	Bear?
20710	Because, see?
20710	Both of you?
20710	Brown eyes and big ears?
20710	But do n''t you think that we''d better find some place where we can take you?
20710	But is it sore anywhere else?
20710	But we have to put that message through, do n''t we?
20710	By way of Pilot Peak?
20710	Ca n''t you wait a little?
20710	Can they read Army and Navy wigwags?
20710	Can we catch her, all right?
20710	Can we get a saddle- horse here?
20710	Can we see him?
20710	Can you?
20710	Did he go, too?
20710	Did he take it out? 20710 Did you have on colored underdrawers?"
20710	Did you hear anybody called Bill?
20710	Did you see a one- armed boy?
20710	Do I have to make that extra ride?
20710	Do you feel sick?
20710	Do you give us your promise not to skip?
20710	Do you know this is the fourteenth day?
20710	Do you promise?
20710	Do you think we ought to do that? 20710 Do you think we''re on the right trail, still?"
20710	Do you want a flag?
20710	Do you want to ride, or try walking again, or shall we carry you?
20710	Do you, Mike?
20710	Do you, Tony and Bert?
20710	Does n''t your instep touch, when you stand up in them?
20710	Enemy?
20710	Fire out?
20710	Fishin''?
20710	Going far?
20710	Good place for beaver, is n''t it?
20710	Got a fire?
20710	Hand me my camera, will you, please?
20710	Have I?
20710	Have you looked for sign?
20710	He smelled that bear, did n''t he?
20710	Hear that?
20710	How about it?
20710	How are you?
20710	How big is yours?
20710	How did Fitzpatrick lose his arm?
20710	How did it start?
20710	How did it start?
20710	How did you get that packet?
20710	How do we know?
20710	How do you grip, then?
20710	How do you know?
20710	How far is Green Valley?
20710	How far is the cabin, please?
20710	How high is it?
20710	How is he? 20710 How is he?"
20710	How many in the party?
20710	How many?
20710	How you coming?
20710	How''d_ you_ get loose?
20710	How?
20710	Howdy?
20710	Howdy?
20710	Howdy?
20710	Hurt?
20710	I ca n''t, eh?
20710	If I could make it, could I stay there a little while?
20710	If we untie you will you fork it over or do you want me to search you?
20710	Is he all right?
20710	Is it over with?
20710	Is that the mines?
20710	Is that you, Fitz?
20710	Is that yours?
20710	Is the doctor here?
20710	Is the fire out?
20710	Is this meant for a report?
20710	It is n''t sour and burning, is it?
20710	It''s gone past, has n''t it?
20710	Never saw you before, did I?
20710	Now had n''t you better give us that message? 20710 Now what you going to do about it?"
20710	On a bay horse?
20710	One of us had better be catching the horses, had n''t we?
20710	Out fishing?
20710	Roan hoss branded quarter circle D on the left hip? 20710 Say, do I have to sit here all night while you chew the rag?"
20710	Say, what''d I ever do to you? 20710 Say, you, what''s the matter with you?"
20710	See it?
20710	See that?
20710	See the chickens?
20710	Shall I make a talk, or will you?
20710	Shall we escape?
20710	Shall we go on?
20710	Shall we try it?
20710	Sharp? 20710 Smallish man?"
20710	Somebody hurt over there?
20710	Sore right under there?
20710	That so? 20710 The pelt''s no good, is it?"
20710	Then what have you got it in for me for?
20710	Think so?
20710	Think they''re in trouble?
20710	Think we''re still on the trail?
20710	Tired? 20710 Turn back and make for the creek; shall we?"
20710	Walking?
20710	Want any help?
20710	Was he a dark- complexioned man, with a small face and no whiskers or mustache?
20710	Was it you who was shooting and calling?
20710	Was one horse a bay with a white nose, and another a black with a bob tail?
20710	We could have climbed that other side, could n''t we?
20710	We''re good scouts-- ain''t we, Bat?
20710	We''re liable to wake those two fellows up, are n''t we?
20710	Well, I suppose you''ve been taught about the danger from camp- fires, then?
20710	Well, what of it?
20710	Were you there? 20710 What are you doing?
20710	What are you lads trying to do? 20710 What are_ you_ talking about?"
20710	What can we give him?
20710	What did they look like?
20710	What did they say?
20710	What did you hear?
20710	What did you shoot at?
20710	What difference does that make?
20710	What do you suppose started it?
20710	What do you think I am, anyhow?
20710	What do you want me to do? 20710 What do you want of it?"
20710	What do you want to keep me here for?
20710	What do you want with us?
20710	What for?
20710	What if we do? 20710 What if we do?"
20710	What is he doing now?
20710	What is it?
20710	What is it?
20710	What is it?
20710	What is it?
20710	What kind of Scouts do you think we are? 20710 What kind of a crowd had they?
20710	What kind of an ache is it, Tom?
20710	What makes you think your friend has appendicitis?
20710	What message?
20710	What message?
20710	What message?
20710	What ought we to do?
20710	What three kids?
20710	What were the brands?
20710	What''s that-- Boy Scouts?
20710	What''s that?
20710	What''s that?
20710	What''s the matter here?
20710	What''s the matter with the burro?
20710	What''s the matter with you, kid?
20710	What''s the matter? 20710 What''s the matter?"
20710	What''s the matter?
20710	What''s the matter?
20710	What''s the trouble?
20710	What? 20710 What?"
20710	What?
20710	When are you Red Foxes off?
20710	When?
20710	Where are you kids bound for, anyway?
20710	Where are you?
20710	Where''d you catch him?
20710	Where''s Henry?
20710	Where''s that?
20710	Where?
20710	Where?
20710	Where?
20710	Where?
20710	Whereabouts?
20710	Which one was he? 20710 Which way did he go?"
20710	Who are you kids?
20710	Who are you?
20710	Who are you?
20710	Who are you?
20710	Who are you?
20710	Who nearly filled you full of holes?
20710	Who said bear? 20710 Who said so?"
20710	Who shot them?
20710	Who were the two fellows?
20710	Who you got here? 20710 Who''s got it?
20710	Who''s got that message?
20710	Who''s got the message now?
20710	Who''s he?
20710	Who''s the enemy?
20710	Who?
20710	Whose orders?
20710	Whose trap?
20710	Why ca n''t we go along?
20710	Why did n''t you come on, then?
20710	Why not?
20710	Why not?
20710	Why so?
20710	Why, how are you, Jack? 20710 Why?"
20710	Why?
20710	Why?
20710	Why?
20710	Will it do?
20710	Will we get through?
20710	Will we make it?
20710	Will we make it?
20710	Will you pass me those shoes?
20710	Would I? 20710 Would n''t I?
20710	Would you get well quick if we leave you and take the message through, Tom?
20710	Yes; did n''t I say so?
20710	You are n''t going to tie us for all night, are you?
20710	You fellows going to sleep?
20710	You kids did n''t make the law, did you? 20710 You know how, do you?"
20710	You saw them start, did you?
20710	Ai n''t there a creek ahead?
20710	All aboard?"
20710	And Fitz answered, like lightning:"E-- l-- k.""What shall I say?"
20710	And now you''re holding Jack, are you?
20710	Are they the ones?"
20710	Are you those three kids?"
20710	Bad leg?
20710	Brass- bound stirrups?"
20710	Burns?
20710	But-- it was n''t any of our business, was it?
20710	Ca n''t we hit the pipe?"
20710	Ca n''t you do something?"
20710	Ca n''t you keep him from fussing about that message?"
20710	Camping?"
20710	Can we see him?"
20710	Can you ride?"
20710	Can you, Fitz?"
20710	Could n''t catch any, eh?"
20710	Did n''t I give you back that message, and tell you all I knew?
20710	Did n''t I help you out as much as I could?"
20710	Did you thank them?
20710	Do I get my shoes, or not?"
20710	Do n''t we, Jim?"
20710	Do n''t you, yours?"
20710	Do you want to go back with me?
20710	Ever hear of him?"
20710	Fitz only said quietly:"But if you have to quit, you''ll quit, wo n''t you, Tom?
20710	Have n''t seen any one pass through?"
20710	He never would have seen me if I had n''t spoken; but when he was n''t more than ten feet from me I said:"What''s the matter?"
20710	He tried to smile, and he said:"Did he?
20710	He was busy; and what do you think?
20710	Hear me?
20710	How did you know I was at any other camp?
20710	I reckon you Boy Scouts want to support the Government, do n''t you?"
20710	I suppose we can cook our own meat, ca n''t we?"
20710	Is n''t that so, boys?"
20710	Kit Carson and I saluted him, military way, because he represented the Government, and answered:"Howdy, sir?"
20710	Leave the general?
20710	Lie here for the rest of my life?"
20710	Motives count, in law, do n''t they?
20710	Not one of_ you_?"
20710	Now, are you coming, or will you sneak off with an excuse?"
20710	Now, why had he come down to the edge of the pond, on purpose, and looked at it and at us, and then turned up at a trot into the timber?
20710	Or steady?"
20710	Pass me the shoes, will you?"
20710	Savvy?"
20710	Savvy?"
20710	See his finger?
20710	See it?"
20710	See?
20710	See?
20710	See?
20710	See?"
20710	See?"
20710	See?"
20710	See?"
20710	See?"
20710	Set the timber afire?"
20710	Shall we move camp, or post sentries, boys?"
20710	Shall we vote on it?"
20710	Shall we, Tom?"
20710	Sick man?"
20710	Somebody hurt?
20710	Somebody hurt?"
20710	Sure?"
20710	That would be a chance for an honor, eh, Van?"
20710	The right words did n''t exist, somehow, and what was the use in exclaiming when we all felt alike, and could look and see for ourselves?
20710	Then--"Why?"
20710	There ought to be wild raspberries in this burnt timber; wild raspberries always follow a forest fire-- and that is a queer thing, is n''t it?
20710	They let you go, did they?"
20710	They made a pretty sight, but--"Frightened by the fire, are n''t they?"
20710	This is a free land, ai n''t it?"
20710	To ask"How old are you?"
20710	Want him?"
20710	Want to rest a second?"
20710	Want to see it?"
20710	Was it going to fly, or not?
20710	Was one wearing a big revolver?"
20710	Was that what was the matter?"
20710	We were n''t here to talk cattle, though; and Fitz spoke up:"Where''s the nearest ranch, or town?"
20710	Well, we untied you, did n''t we?"
20710	What did he look like?"
20710	What time is it?"
20710	What was the use?
20710	What you afraid of?
20710	What you doing?"
20710	What''s the matter with our going, too?"
20710	What''s the matter with you?"
20710	What''s the matter?"
20710	What''s the rumpus?"
20710	When is the enemy going to attack?"
20710	When they got us to the main camp Bill Duane walked up to General Ashley and said:"Where you got that message, Red?"
20710	Where are those things I used to call shoes?"
20710	Where are you bound for?"
20710	Where can we get a doctor?"
20710	Where did he go?"
20710	Where is Smith?"
20710	Where is it?"
20710	Where is the store?"
20710	Where you from?"
20710	Where''s your camp?"
20710	While they were approaching, Major Henry wigwagged:"All there?"
20710	Who are you fellows?"
20710	Who''s that?
20710	Who''s the boss?
20710	Why?"
20710	Why?"
20710	Will you, Fitz?
20710	Will you, or do you want me to pull trigger?"
20710	You are n''t judge of the law, are you?"
20710	You could n''t handle that man alone-- could you?"
20710	You see that strip of young timber running up over the ridge?
20710	You''re sure going, are n''t you?"
20710	You''ve given us your parole; see?"
20710	You?"
20710	[ Illustration]"Howdy?"
20710	the Indian would sign:"You,""winter,""number,""what?"
19120	A storm, you mean?
19120	A tame panther, you mean, Frank?
19120	About like a brakeman might swing his lantern if he was on a freight train in a black night, eh?
19120	About the panther, you mean?
19120	Ai n''t headin''toward home, are ye, Frank?
19120	And 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?"
19120	And did he?
19120	And do you know what I think?
19120	And if that did n''t work, what then?
19120	And it has to do with this misty feeling in the air; has it?
19120	And that was the chief himself?
19120	And who''s this with you-- your new chum; the boy from Kentucky?
19120	And you say you''re bound out now?
19120	And you tell me nobody knows what it is?
19120	Any chance of getting up the rocks, Frank?
19120	Any ordinary range rider might do that, even if he lost out,Peg went on;"but my game is along different lines; see?
19120	Are you coming on, Peg?
19120	Are 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?"
19120	But Frank, we do n''t believe in any such thing, do we?
19120	But 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?
19120	But do you take any stock in what Peg said about an avalanche?
19120	But 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?
19120	But if we''ve got to try it, Frank, what''s the use of waiting?
19120	But is it possible that some hermit is living in this cave?
19120	But look here, Frank, you''ve heard your dad talk about this Thunder Mountain business, I take it?
19120	But say, did you take notice of the way our horses acted while that thing was going on?
19120	But 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?
19120	But then, it may not come for hours yet?
19120	But 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?
19120	But 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?"
19120	But what I wanted to remark is this: you must have heard him give an opinion about this thunder sound?
19120	But what can I do?
19120	But 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?
19120	But what makes you say that, Nick?
19120	But why did n''t you tell me all this before?
19120	But would they be in danger in case of a storm- burst?
19120	But ye did n''t expect to take a turn thar when ye left home, did ye?
19120	But you do n''t feel disappointed, do you?
19120	But you do n''t mean to say Peg did that?
19120	But you do n''t want to go back just yet, do you, Frank?
19120	But you suspect they might have another reason, too?
19120	Ca n''t you think of some way we might get out of this? 19120 Cow punchers; or perhaps rustlers?"
19120	Did you find out what ailed him?
19120	Did you notice how he had a silk handkerchief bound around his head, regular Mex fashion?
19120	Did you say coffee?
19120	Do n''t you see that it''s only a little Mexican boy on that bag of bones of a horse? 19120 Do we go?"
19120	Do we need to hold the horses down any longer?
19120	Do you expect we''re going to have a peck of trouble with these miners?
19120	Do you know the old chief, then?
19120	Do you mean that you''ve guessed what makes all that frightful noise?
19120	Do you really mean you think we''ve come far enough for that?
19120	Do you think Joe had a torch?
19120	Do you think so?
19120	Do you think you could find that exact spot again?
19120	Do you? 19120 Does that mean this is the exact place where Joe had his little circus, Frank?"
19120	Even if it takes till morning?
19120	Even if you knew it was Peg Grant you''d treat me that way; would you? 19120 Feel the wind, will you?"
19120	Frank, do you think it''s going to reach up here?
19120	Frank, that roaring sound did n''t seem like the others we''ve been hearing; d''ye think it means anything has happened?
19120	Frank, you felt that wet sensation, like fine spray, did n''t you?
19120	Get him?
19120	Glad to do that same, Frank,the veteran cowman replied, and then added:"but jest why are ye headin''this way, might I ask?
19120	Got enough?
19120	Has the cloudburst arrived?
19120	He 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?"
19120	How about your leg, Joe; can you walk?
19120	How are ye, young Haywood?
19120	How is it, Senor Frank; can you get me out,_ camerado_?
19120	How''s this for a camping place?
19120	How?
19120	I can see something that seems blacker than the night itself; is that what you mean, Frank?
19120	I guess you did n''t notice something queer about that animal, then, Bob?
19120	I have four already; how do you stand?
19120	I''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?"
19120	In what way? 19120 Indians?"
19120	Is that all, Hank?
19120	It might happen here on Thunder Mountain, too, could n''t it, Nick?
19120	Listen to that, Frank?
19120	Looks easy, does n''t it, after we''ve run across a clue?
19120	Meaning at old Thunder Mountain?
19120	Meaning where I sniffed that smoke each time? 19120 Mighty little, Bob,"replied the other, dropping beside him;"how''s the water coming along?"
19120	Navajos, ai n''t they?
19120	No luck, eh?
19120	No telling what he may run up against there, eh?
19120	None of the boys on the ranch would go with you, then?
19120	Not brimstone and sulphur, I hope?
19120	Now what''s the programme?
19120	Now what?
19120	Now, I wonder did he mean that; or was he just bluffing?
19120	Now, what could it have been? 19120 Now, what do you mean by hinting in that way?
19120	Now, why did n''t somebody ever think of that before?
19120	Ready to go on, then?
19120	Recognize the rider, then? 19120 Rustlers, maybe?"
19120	Say, I do n''t suppose, now, you''d care to sell that animal, Archer?
19120	Say, do I?
19120	Say, look here, would you take me up if I proposed something right now?
19120	Say, now, what d''ye think of that, Bob?
19120	Say, what d''ye reckon anybody could want a lantern up there for? 19120 See that timber over yonder, where a stream runs?
19120	Silly? 19120 So that''s old Thunder Mountain, is it?"
19120	Suppose 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?
19120	Supposing the thing broke loose before we could find any place to climb out?
19120	Tell me why, wo n''t you, please, Frank?
19120	That a landslide is going to start things going on Thunder Mountain any time-- is that what you mean?
19120	That is, hang around until night, and wait to see if the grinding begins again, as it did when we were in camp below?
19120	That''s all right, Bob,replied his chum, quickly;"but are you ready to give the game up here and now?"
19120	That''s what you could call a close call; eh, Frank?
19120	The geyser has stopped beating against the inside of the mountain, has n''t it? 19120 The one we said was a lantern?
19120	Then it was a narrow squeak, was it?
19120	Then prospectors-- Lopez and his bunch?
19120	Then something_ did_ get hold of him; did n''t it, Frank?
19120	Then there wo n''t be no more racket, will there?
19120	Then they went on up that canyon, you believe?
19120	Then this thing has been going on forever, has it?
19120	Then what''s to hinder both of us going at it?
19120	Then ye mean to go into camp soon?
19120	Then you could recognize it; eh?
19120	Then you do n''t believe that little Lopez had anything to do with it, Frank?
19120	Then you think we''re going to get caught here, Frank?
19120	Then you wo n''t wait for us?
19120	There''s the sun coming up; and perhaps we''d better be getting a move on about now?
19120	Think you see signs of trouble from Peg and his bunch; or is it something else?
19120	Want me to light a torch too, Frank?
19120	Was it? 19120 Was there ever such a long night?"
19120	We must be getting down somewhere near the canyon, are n''t we, Frank?
19120	Well, does that strike you as silly?
19120	Well, how about it?
19120	Well, what are we going to do about it?
19120	Well, what d''ye think of that?
19120	What about it? 19120 What ails the beast?"
19120	What are you going to do?
19120	What are you sniffing about, Frank?
19120	What 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?"
19120	What do you mean by hitting me like that?
19120	What do you say?
19120	What do_ you_ mean, hurting that poor little Mexican girl?
19120	What does it matter to you, Frank Haywood, when I left the greenhorn class and moved up a pace? 19120 What have you discovered, Frank?"
19120	What is it?
19120	What is it?
19120	What makes you say that?
19120	What of that? 19120 What under the sun do we want to get inside the mountain for?
19120	What was that flash, Frank? 19120 What was the use, boss?
19120	What would cowmen be doing away off here, tell me that, Bob? 19120 What''s doing?"
19120	What''s on?
19120	What''s the matter now?
19120	What''s the matter, Frank?
19120	What''s the matter-- you did n''t cut yourself, I hope?
19120	What, that Mex boy? 19120 Whatever can have happened to him?"
19120	Which way, Frank?
19120	Who, me?
19120	Why do you think they left the trail, and made their horses climb up?
19120	Why not take a snack before we leave our base of supplies? 19120 Why, do you really believe the racket comes out of that hole?"
19120	Why, what did you expect?
19120	With a collar around his neck, too?
19120	Wo n''t they be apt to run over us?
19120	Yes, and how do we know but what this Mexican boy is hooked up with that Mendoza crowd?
19120	Yes?
19120	You do n''t believe, then, that there could have been some kind of storm up there; do you?
19120	You do n''t say? 19120 You go across mountains, eh?"
19120	You mean of course for to- night only, because you''d never think of such a thing as giving up the game so early, Bob?
19120	You notice we happen to be sheltered more or less down here, when she comes out of that same quarter?
19120	You understand that we are your friends, Lopez, do n''t you?
19120	You''re both going to pay dear for this little fun, hear that?
19120	You, Senor Frank?
19120	You-- would, eh?
19120	''Cause, I opine, ye wants me to carry thet same news back home; do n''t ye?"
19120	And if Spanish Joe, why not the other cowboy who was in bad repute among the ranches; yes, and Peg himself?
19120	And it worked too, did it?"
19120	And lugging along a bunch of extra mounts, too, in the bargain?
19120	And why was Peg Grant standing on the stoop of the tavern grinning as I rode past?
19120	And would n''t I hate to lose Domino the worst way; even if he does give me a raft of trouble at times?"
19120	And yet it does n''t seem to be a fire, does it?"
19120	Are you feeling better, Bob?"
19120	Are you ready for a shock?"
19120	Are you ready to turn the bend, Bob?"
19120	Besides that; what could there be to make trouble?"
19120	Bob 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?
19120	Bob, would you see what is coming out from among those loose rocks there?
19120	But I wonder, now could I find it?
19120	But Nick likes a joke as well as any cowboy; and who could keep a straight face after seeing what happened here?
19120	But do you know what kind of thorn this is?"
19120	But just think of a tenderfoot like Peg let loose on that fierce slope up yonder; will you?"
19120	But look here, what d''ye suppose they''re doing so far away from their reservation?"
19120	But now we''re in here, I hope we find out the truth soon, do n''t you, Frank?"
19120	But say, what''re you sniffing that way for, Frank?"
19120	But say, you said something about a hermit just now?"
19120	But see here, Frank, do white men-- cowboys, prospectors, and the like-- believe this mountain is haunted?"
19120	But see here, Frank, is this little affair going to force us to change our plans?"
19120	But 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?"
19120	But supposing this thing_ does_ turn out to be true; how''s it going to affect our little business, Frank?
19120	But tell me, why did he pick out_ my_ horse, instead of your Buckskin?"
19120	But what became of the little Mex?
19120	But what has that got to do with the measly old grumble of the mountain, tell me?"
19120	But what was so funny about him, Frank?
19120	But whatever would anybody up there be signalling for, and who to, Bob?"
19120	But where do you suppose Joe can be all this time?
19120	CHAPTER IX WHAT HAPPENED TO PEG"Then you think the same as I do, eh, Bob?"
19120	CHAPTER XI THE BLACK NIGHT"How does this suit you, Bob?"
19120	CHAPTER XIII THE SMOKE TRAIL"Are you sure of it?"
19120	CHAPTER XV SPANISH JOE DROPS A CLUE"Where can he be, Frank?"
19120	Can he have had a hand in this sudden crazy spell of the black?
19120	Can you see any swinging motion to the light Frank?"
19120	Could n''t I induce you to name a price on that black beauty, Archer?"
19120	Could you see any signs here to tell about that?"
19120	D''ye reckon it could be one of those rustlers; and would they try to hold us up so as to get our mounts?"
19120	Did he have a rubber neck, you mean?"
19120	Did he have only one eye; or was he three- legged?"
19120	Did n''t he come along this trail ahead of us?"
19120	Did n''t that knock the old chap silly, though?
19120	Did you ever smell sulphur burning?"
19120	Do I not know it?
19120	Do n''t you feel how the ground shivers?
19120	Do n''t you see the point?"
19120	Do n''t you see what I mean, Bob?
19120	Do n''t you think we''d better lie down till the worst is over?"
19120	Do n''t you understand that all that noise is coming_ out_ of this old thing?
19120	Do n''t you understand what that means, Bob?"
19120	Do they often have that sort of thing out here?"
19120	Do we take the dare; or stay out here and wait till the fuss is over before entering?"
19120	Do you think so, Nick?"
19120	Do you think this always happens when the old mountain breaks loose; or is this an extra big celebration?"
19120	Does n''t he look sleepy and tuckered out though?
19120	Frank replied; and then himself lowering his lips to the ear of Bob he went on:"What''s the matter with Peg and his crowd?
19120	Frank, 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?"
19120	Get it?"
19120	Get onto it, Bob?"
19120	Get that, Frank?"
19120	Get that, Nick?"
19120	Give me a whack between the shoulders, wo n''t you, Frank?
19120	Had I not been so tired and sleepy, perhaps even I might have shot the bear, who knows?
19120	Has he run away, or dropped over into one of those pits we saw on the way up here?
19120	Have 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?"
19120	Have you forgotten little Lopez, and how frightened he looked when we spoke about keeping him company?"
19120	Have you see an opening here, Bob?"
19120	How about it?
19120	How did you come out about the duffle you were carrying; any of it get lost?"
19120	How does that coffee look?"
19120	How long did you say now, Frank?"
19120	However in the wide world will we get out of this?"
19120	I 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?"
19120	I''m wet to the knees; and did you hear him thank me for it?
19120	If I was alone now, d''ye know what I''d likely be doing, Frank?"
19120	Is it a go, Bob?"
19120	Is it a go, Frank?"
19120	Is that it, Frank?"
19120	Is that so?"
19120	Is that the trouble now?
19120	It is n''t a great ways from dawn, is it, Frank?"
19120	Nick said so anyhow; did n''t he, Frank?"
19120	Now Bob, have you ever been up in the Yellowstone Park region?"
19120	Now, I reckon it might have been something about Lopez?"
19120	Now, I wonder if those riders hit it up this way?"
19120	Now, how''s that?"
19120	Now, what does it make you think of, most of all?"
19120	Only for you coming, where would I be right now?
19120	Peg was happy-- why?
19120	Remember that poor little girl Peg Grant was cuffing when you knocked him down?
19120	Say, do n''t he sing though, to beat all creation?
19120	Say, look at his strut, will you?
19120	Say, now, you did n''t see any feathers on their heads, did you?
19120	See him rear up, will you?
19120	Since when did you climb up out of the tenderfoot class, tell me?"
19120	The cave that Spanish Joe had found and entered-- could it have anything to do with the mystery of the mountain?
19120	The question is, have we the nerve to try it?"
19120	Then you think, now, it might have been a fire?"
19120	Then, again, how do we know but what it might be that Peg Grant lot?
19120	Think he''ll tackle us again?"
19120	Think it''s going to rain, do you?"
19120	Understand that?"
19120	We must do something to save him, Bob, but whatever shall it be?"
19120	What better could we ask, I''d like to know?
19120	What brings ye here, Frank?"
19120	What do you think about that yarn, Frank; did he meet up with anything; or was he just scared out of his seven senses?
19120	What was it like, Bob?
19120	What will we do now?"
19120	Whatever can it mean?"
19120	Whatever sort of power can it be that makes this noise and shivering sensation?"
19120	Where is it, Frank?"
19120	Who was it gave Peg his little tumble when he was striking that child?
19120	Why''d you let me come?
19120	Wonder what Peg will say when he runs across us out there in that lonely place?
19120	Wonder what he''d say if he knew Frank Haywood was here, so far away from the home ranch?"
19120	Would any fellow be so mean as to fasten some of those prickly sand burrs under his tail?
19120	Ye ai n''t stopping, are ye?
19120	You do n''t happen to glimpse anything queer around here, do you, Bob?"
19120	You notice, do n''t you, that the thunder now is about all natural?"
19120	You take little stock in that yarn; but, all the same, you think we ought to look into it, now we''re on the ground?"
19120	a greenhorn, eh?"
19120	asked Bob, eagerly;"footprints?"
19120	do you mean that the old geyser has turned into a river, and will keep on running like this right along?"
19120	do you mean you smelled smoke three separate times since you left me?"
19120	down there, air ye all safe?"
19120	exclaimed Bob, presently, as the sound of retreating hoofs began to die away;"what d''ye think of that, eh, Frank?"
19120	exclaimed Frank, when he was able to catch his breath again,"What d''ye think of that, now?
19120	let up on that kind of talk, will ye?"
19120	now, what''s the use botherin''?
19120	remarked Bob, elevating his eyebrows;"was that what forced you to take that header down the slope?
19120	say, I wonder if that crowd can have anything to do with the rumbling of the mountain?"
19120	say, Mr. Smith,"cried Bob,"have you lost a pet that wears a collar?"
19120	the Kentucky lad inquired;"something that I might lend a hand at?"
19120	then perhaps I''d better be keeping an eye out as we go along, and see how the land lies?"
19120	was that what I felt just now?"
19120	what brought you here, Frank Haywood, I''d like to know?"
19120	what does that mean?"
19120	what shall we do, Nick?"
19120	what ye a sayin''that for?"
19120	what''re you two fellers doing here on Thunder Mountain, anyhow?"
19120	what''s that moving there among those rocks just ahead?"
19120	what''s the matter Bob?"
19120	you do n''t say?"
19120	you''re thinking about that volcano business again, eh?"
19120	you''re thinking now of that demon Joe told about, eh, Frank?"
42014	''Well, Ma,''he says, turning to me,''what d''s''pose we''ve got here?'' 42014 After lunch can we get out the guns, Dan?"
42014	Ai n''t she a wet blanket?
42014	And the girls?
42014	And your grandson, mother?
42014	Are congratulations in order?
42014	Are n''t these little bedrooms the cunningest?
42014	Are n''t_ you_ also glad for me, Dan?
42014	Are they trying to tease us?
42014	Are you rested enough now to start down? 42014 Birthdays ought to be all gold and blue, had n''t they ought to be, Janey?"
42014	Brother,the manner in which she interrupted the conversation was almost rude,"is n''t that the stage returning?
42014	But Dan has n''t a gun, has he?
42014	But I''d like to have a little cub, would n''t you, Julie, to fetch up for a pet?
42014	But how are we to get them?
42014	But how could he?
42014	But how?
42014	But was n''t your Aunt Belle terribly disappointed?
42014	But what could it mean? 42014 But where are the houses?
42014	But where are we going?
42014	Could n''t they stay until we return East next month?
42014	Dad,he said,"do n''t you need me here?"
42014	Dan, do you suppose Jane would mind if I went home this afternoon? 42014 Dan, what do you mean?"
42014	Dan,he said,"may I speak with you a moment?"
42014	Dan,she said in a low voice,"Jane does n''t know a thing about your long illness, does she?
42014	Dan,she said,"Julie and Jane are n''t much alike, are they?
42014	Dan,she said,"wo n''t you share your secret with me?"
42014	Dear girl, would n''t you rather have our father honest than rich?
42014	Dear,she said very softly,"you are n''t feeling well, are you?
42014	Dear,she said, slipping an arm about her friend,"you are regretting having taken my advice, are n''t you?"
42014	Did she say anything about havin''seen that skulkin''Ute? 42014 Did you say that we are to go next Sunday?"
42014	Did you three see a bear? 42014 Do n''t you remember that the terrible overseer from the Packard ranch is coming to take dinner with you today?
42014	Do n''t you think maybe we''d better keep that door closed when we''re eating?
42014	Do n''t you want to come with me to the hospital?
42014	Do you know where he hails from?
42014	Do you think it will, Mr. Packard? 42014 Do you''spect it''s the Utes?"
42014	Gee, sis,Gerald blurted out,"you do n''t like the West much, do you?
42014	Have n''t you any more patients?
42014	Have you a message from our father?
42014	Have you news to tell us?
42014	He loves mountain people, does n''t he?
42014	He''s a nice man, is n''t he, Dan?
42014	How can he be a neighbor if he lives fifteen miles away?
42014	How did you happen to learn how to cook?
42014	How do you do, Julie and Gerald?
42014	I have not been lovable, and so why should I expect to be loved?
42014	I wonder what they have seen?
42014	I''m awful hungry; are n''t you, Gerry?
42014	If we went to Redfords by the stage, how are we to get to the Packard ranch? 42014 If what, Dan?"
42014	If you never come back? 42014 Is Jean Sawyer coming?"
42014	Is he overseer of this cattle ranch?
42014	Is it quite safe for them out there alone?
42014	Is the rim- rock on the other side of our brook?
42014	Is this wretched log cabin place the only hotel?
42014	It does n''t look as though genius could be awakened here, does it?
42014	It is n''t safe under trees, is it?
42014	It''s a little beauty, ain''t-- I mean, is n''t it?
42014	Jane, dear, what has happened? 42014 Jane, do you mind riding back with me?"
42014	Julie, what is it, dear? 42014 Julie, will you see if Jane is awake?"
42014	Kinnikinick?
42014	Let us wait until morning and start at sunrise, shall we?
42014	Let''s make it a double wedding, Jane, ca n''t we?
42014	Love them?
42014	Marion Starr,he cried,"you wrote my father, did you not, telling him where you found me?"
42014	May I go get it, Dan? 42014 May I take the field glasses?
42014	Maybe, when it grew up, it would forget it was a pet bear, and maybe you''d get it cornered, and then what would you do?
42014	Meg,he said,"does n''t that alone prove that we are perfect comrades?
42014	Miss Heger,he cried, and his voice was tense with emotion,"how can I, how are we ever going to thank you for what you have done for us today?"
42014	Now,he said, as he put the key in the lock,"what do you suppose we''ll find on the other side of this door?"
42014	Of course, Gerry would n''t,the old lady replied emphatically,"for is n''t he your son, Daniel?"
42014	Oh, Dad, may I go?
42014	Oh, Danny,she suddenly exclaimed,"could n''t there be something terrible hiding in that crack?"
42014	Oh, Gerry,she said,"what if a bear should come again?
42014	Oh, Mr. Heger,she cried,"what do you suppose has happened to them?
42014	Oh, are n''t we having fun?
42014	Oh, are n''t you afraid a bear will devour you in the night?
42014	Oh, look- it, will you, Dan? 42014 Oh, look- it, will you?"
42014	Oh, what shall I do? 42014 Oh, would n''t they stain my hands terribly?"
42014	Ohee, is n''t this the jolliest? 42014 Only?"
42014	Say, Dan, there is a sort of mystery about that trapper''s daughter, is n''t there? 42014 Say, girls,"he began,"we ca n''t make it home tonight, can we?
42014	Sis, dear,he implored,"try to be brave, wo n''t you?
42014	Suppose we let Gerald practice today, and later, when you feel that you would like to try again, you may do so?
42014	Tell me, what do you mean?
42014	That was sort of an adventure, was n''t it?
42014	That''s splendid, Jane, is n''t it?
42014	Then the lost vein may still be here, who knows?
42014	Then why should you care whether or not I teach the Redford school?
42014	Then why was I not informed? 42014 There is going to be a wonderful moon tonight,"Mr. Packard said,"Why do n''t you young people climb the foothill trail and watch it rise?"
42014	There''s two things we''ve wished for lately that do n''t happen, are n''t there, Danny?
42014	Was it?
42014	Was n''t it a bear, or a wildcat, or anything?
42014	Was there ever a tree that lived a thousand years?
42014	Well, sonny, what kind of an adventure would you prefer?
42014	What are those great bundles that are hanging up there?
42014	What are you doing, kiddies, copying the entire menu?
42014	What boy does not?
42014	What boy likes me better than he does you?
42014	What can_ that_ mean?
42014	What did it mean? 42014 What do you say to that?"
42014	What do you suppose he''s watching for?
42014	What do you wish, Dan?
42014	What do you''spect it will be?
42014	What does Gerry mean, Janey?
42014	What does she mean?
42014	What if our cabin should slide right off this shelf that it''s built on?
42014	What is it, Gerry? 42014 What kind of a bank do you suppose it means?"
42014	What kind of a bird is it, Miss Heger?
42014	What shall we do this afternoon, or do you want to just rest?
42014	What shall we do, Mr. Packard? 42014 What shall you do, Jane, while we are learning to shoot?"
42014	What sort of a thing is that?
42014	What was that? 42014 What''s that noise?"
42014	What''s the matter, chick- a- biddie?
42014	What''s the rest?
42014	What?
42014	When did this all happen?
42014	Where are you going with that towel?
42014	Where is my father?
42014	Where''ll we go to look for it?
42014	Which way will we go?
42014	Who were they?
42014	Why did Bob do that? 42014 Why do n''t we shoot into that pine brush anyway?"
42014	Why do n''t you tell him, dearie? 42014 Why, Bob Starr,"she exclaimed,"how could you tell about it after you were all eaten up?"
42014	Why, Dan Abbott,she exclaimed,"whatever started you off in that way?
42014	Why, Gerald Abbott, where are we going?
42014	Why, Mrs. Bently, are you a miracle worker?
42014	Why, how come that?
42014	Why, what''s the matter? 42014 Will it be quite fair to Mr. Peterson to have Gerry leave his store without giving notice?"
42014	Wo n''t you come with us and watch the fun?
42014	You and Bob know Jean''s family?
42014	You are n''t expecting a bear to find out this soon, are you, that we have some supplies that he might wish to devour?
42014	You say the mountain lion was crouched to spring at you? 42014 You''re Dan Abbott''s son, ai n''t you?"
42014	You''ve got one of your dreadful headaches, have n''t you, Janey?
42014	_ Your father?_Jane and Merry exclaimed almost simultaneously.
42014	''Twasn''t anything I said, was it?"
42014	A beauty, is n''t he?
42014	After a few moments of ransacking, the lad looked up from a box as he asked:"Miss Jane, will you pare the potatoes?"
42014	Am I a mere infant to be kept in ignorance of facts like these?
42014	And yet, was it deserted?
42014	Are n''t they the most exquisite star- like flowers and the most delicate pinks and blues?"
42014	Are n''t you anxious about them, Dan?"
42014	Are n''t you the same family as she is, and should n''t your hands be kept just as white?
42014	Are you all ready?"
42014	Are you hurt?
42014	Are you three traveling alone?"
42014	At last he called:"Bob, have n''t you investigated enough?
42014	Be that as it may, almost without her conscious direction she heard herself saying:"I suppose, then, that you must be a great admirer of Meg Heger?"
42014	Ben''t they back yet?"
42014	Bob retorted:"Well, we had n''t invited you girls, had we?
42014	Brought a parcel of young folks along this trip?
42014	But Jane remarked rebukingly,"Julie Abbott, do you wish people to think that you have been starved at home?
42014	But do tell me who is the girl to whom you introduced me when I first arrived?
42014	But it was Jean who replied:"Do n''t you believe that some wounded animal may have dragged itself into the cabin to die?
42014	But there are three of us, so what shall we do?"
42014	But what could it mean?
42014	But why do you suppose Meg''s father remained at the camp after everyone else had left?
42014	Ca n''t we get away from the girls somehow?
42014	Ca n''t we go right over and hunt for it, Dan?
42014	Can I have a try now, Dan?
42014	Can I?"
42014	Can we help you?"
42014	Come in, wo n''t you?"
42014	Dan lifted Julie most carefully to the back of his horse as he said:"Meg, can you ride in front of this little miss and I will walk at your side?"
42014	Dan, do n''t you s''pose they make''em small enough for boys?"
42014	Did I know Danny Abbott?
42014	Did I know yer pa?
42014	Did n''t I say I''d shoot?
42014	Did n''t she care to make his acquaintance?
42014	Did you bring me anything?"
42014	Did you bring them?"
42014	Did you think for one moment that I, knowing how much you liked him, would even want him to care for me?
42014	Do n''t you know, Jane''s staying with Dan''cause she thinks he''s too weak to come out here?
42014	Do n''t you remember how we heard it roaring?"
42014	Do n''t you understand that I love you?
42014	Do n''t you want to see what''s on the inside of our cabin?"
42014	Do you s''pose Dad would let us come into this wild country without guns?
42014	Do you suppose he recognized our name as being the same as his father''s partner?"
42014	Do you suppose that the girls would care if Gerald and I go?
42014	Do you suppose that while I have a strong right arm I would let my little pal work in any of those drudgery ways?
42014	Do you suppose there''s bears in those mountains now?"
42014	Do you suppose they have been harmed?"
42014	Do you think Dan will get well?"
42014	Do you think Meg Heger will ever forgive me?
42014	Do you think Mr. Heger will let me?"
42014	Do you think he had some clue to the whereabouts of the lost vein?"
42014	Do you think it is a grizzly, and do you s''pose it''s that one Dad said came right down here to our ledge?
42014	Do you think she''d let me ride on her pony?
42014	Do you think that some day you might care for me if I regain my health and am able to make a home for you?"
42014	Do you want him to know just how dishonorable you were about the money?"
42014	Do you, Dan?"
42014	Does n''t it look to you as if it had been made with a pickaxe?
42014	Does she look like a young''un of that skulkin''old wildcat?''
42014	For a long moment Meg ceased reading and Dan, noting that her hands trembled, went to her side, saying with tender solicitude:"Dear girl, what is it?
42014	Gerald knew where you were going, did n''t he?"
42014	Get the cue?''
42014	Glad to git back to God''s country, ai n''t you now, Si?
42014	Glancing at Jean, he questioned:"Ought we to follow them?"
42014	Had she any right to use the tax money for a necklace?
42014	Has he been pesterin''her?
42014	Has that Slinking Coyote frightened you?"
42014	Have I been good today?"
42014	Have you and the children had more trouble?
42014	How can it be averted?"
42014	How can we ever thank her?"
42014	How could the other three be undesirable when one is so lovely?
42014	How did Meg know?
42014	How goes it?"
42014	How long are you going to stay?"
42014	How many tries do we each get?
42014	How old be yo'', Miss Jane?
42014	How- de- do?
42014	I adore mountain climbing, do n''t you, Miss Abbott?"
42014	I jest came down to ask if a big brown mare I found whinnyin''around my corral is the one Mr. Packard loaned ye?
42014	I like to be awful hungry when there''s something extra special to eat, do n''t you, Janey?"
42014	I mean not particularly well?"
42014	I wonder if Ma tol''you about that?"
42014	If I tell them I will pay it in two weeks, when my birthday money comes, wo n''t that do as well as now?"
42014	In a voice that sounded most unfeeling, she asked,"And just what may those changes be?"
42014	Is it from Jean?"
42014	Is it so hard for you to love them and be patient with their playfulness?
42014	Is n''t it a beauty?"
42014	Is n''t that the same thing?"
42014	Is n''t that what I am, Dan?
42014	Is something wrong?"
42014	It passes about one, does it not, on the way to Redfords?"
42014	Jane suggested:"Would it not be more natural to suppose it to be a New York bank, since that had been Mr. Giguette''s home for years?"
42014	Jane, can you care enough for me to promise to be my wife?"
42014	Julie chimed in with:"Yep, have n''t we?"
42014	Julie was not much interested in the length of a tree''s life and so she began eagerly:"Miss-- I mean-- do you want us to call you Meg?"
42014	Julie, upon hearing this, was about to blurt out her disappointment by saying,"How can she, if she''s going back East on Tuesday?"
42014	Let''s give it up, shall we, and go back to the girls?"
42014	Lifting a tear- stained face to the girl who was watching her, troubled and thoughtful, she implored:"Oh, is n''t there something I can do?
42014	May Gerald and I go up there tomorrow?"
42014	May I show it to your brother?"
42014	May I tell her our secret now-- tonight?"
42014	May I walk back to the house with you?"
42014	May I?"
42014	May n''t I go back to the cabin and put it on?
42014	May n''t I, Dan?"
42014	May we begin at once to call you Eulalie?"
42014	Maybe we''ll find that lost mine, who knows?"
42014	Meg, no longer able to keep silent, leaned forward, asking eagerly,"Bob, may I see the letter that my father left for me?"
42014	Merry, knowing that time alone could tell whether or not she was a prophet, changed the subject by asking:"From whom are your letters, dear?
42014	Mr. Packard will not be worried if you remain with us, will he?
42014	Mr. Peterson was so pleased that he asked Gerald about it one day, saying:''Do n''t you like candy, lad?''
42014	Nobody''s told her, has there?"
42014	Now who comes next?"
42014	Now, Gerald, just to be polite, shall we let Julie try first?"
42014	Now, is n''t this jolly?"
42014	Now, what is the menu to be?"
42014	Oh, boy, then wo n''t we have the time of our lives?"
42014	Oh, why had she said it?
42014	Oh, wo n''t you stay here and let me be the one to hunt?
42014	Packard?"
42014	Packard?"
42014	REDFORDS"Is that all there is to the town of Redfords?"
42014	See how comically they sprawl?
42014	Shall I go in it, Dan; shall I?"
42014	Shall we go back to the ranch house?
42014	Shall we, Julie?"
42014	Shall you mind if I postpone my departure until a week from Tuesday?"
42014	She did wish he would not look at her-- was it wistfully, yearningly or what?
42014	She does look sort of sick, does n''t she?"
42014	She is beautiful, is n''t she?"
42014	She looked to me very much like an Indian, did n''t she to you, Dan?"
42014	Some special occasion?"
42014	Stopping at their seats, he asked:"Are you Daniel Abbott, accompanied by Jane, Julie and Gerald?"
42014	Straddling a chair he blurted out,"Say, is n''t Jane a spoil- joy?
42014	Suddenly he said:"Jane, have you changed your mind about going East next Tuesday?"
42014	Taking both hot hands in her own, she cried, her blue eyes glowing,"Oh, Jane, dearest Jane,_ did_ you think that Jean Sawyer cared for me?
42014	That is n''t so very much, is it, Dad?"
42014	That, in itself, proved to him that the old Ute was not her father, but, if he were not, why did he pretend that he was?
42014	The beautiful girl looked from one to another of the group and seeing in each face a joyful expression, she asked:"What is it?
42014	The boy, who had been silently riding at Jane''s side whenever it had been possible, turned to ask:"Will you ride on ahead with me?"
42014	The situation was relieved by Jean''s asking:"May I prepare anything I can find?"
42014	Then Dad could pay the rest that he owes and be free from all worry?"
42014	Then Gerald blurted out,"Silly, he ca n''t see Meg Heger, can he, when you''ve put her right across from the bouquet?"
42014	Then Merry asked:"Meg, or may I say Eulalie, are you willing that I should wire my father all that we know?
42014	Then anxiously, and in his voice there was a note that was almost imploring, he asked:"Jane, dear, do n''t you think you can be comfortable in here?"
42014	Then glancing at his sister anxiously,"You did n''t like him, did you?
42014	Then he heard his questioning thought asking:"Is it possible that Meg''s real name is Giguette?"
42014	Then he queried:"Why do you say that he is terrible, Jane?
42014	Then she asked, a little anxiously:"Are n''t you skeered we might meet a wildcat or a lion or a bear?"
42014	Then taking Meg''s free hand, for Julie was clinging to the other, Jane said,"Wo n''t you turn about and take lunch with us at the inn?
42014	Then that persistent voice, deep within her, asked:"Did n''t you deserve it, Jane?
42014	Then to Bob:"Were there any banks of dirt near the cabin?"
42014	Then, as an afterthought, he cautioned,"Do n''t mention having seen him to Jane, will you, children?"
42014	Then, as she saw a sudden wearied expression in her brother''s face, she added:"You''re very tired, Dan, are n''t you?
42014	Then, as the clock was striking twelve, the lad suddenly inquired,"Jane, when did all this trouble with the children occur?
42014	Then, close to his ear, she asked clearly:"Could you tell me about my father?"
42014	Then, looking up inquiringly,"Did Ma tell you how she earned the money she''s savin''for her iddication?"
42014	Then, quite irrelevantly, the youth asked:"Would you mind if I call you Margaret?
42014	Then, turning to the younger girl, she invited:"Julie, dear, would n''t you like to set the table and make it look real partified?"
42014	Then, turning with a startled expression, Jane inquired,"Oh, do you suppose that Jean knows?
42014	They always_ do_ try to hide away when they are hurt, do n''t they, Meg?"
42014	They dashed in and out again, nor would they stop when we called to ask where they were going?"
42014	Three?"
42014	Turning back, she looked thoughtfully at the cabin, then said,"Dan, will you help me bar the door that no wild creature can get in?
42014	Umm, wo n''t they be glad when they see them?
42014	Was it large?"
42014	Was it the lost vein or some other treasure that he sought?
42014	Was she never to be through with hearing about Meg Heger?
42014	Was this innkeeper''s wife going to tell her that she had never seen but one other girl who was more beautiful?
42014	We''ll be as quiet as-- as----"Dan smilingly offered:"How would Santa Claus do?
42014	What are we to do next?"
42014	What can it mean?"
42014	What could be his reason?
42014	What could it mean?"
42014	What do you wish, Jane?"
42014	What has gone wrong?"
42014	What has happened?
42014	What has happened?"
42014	What have you seen to frighten you?"
42014	What is it, Miss Heger?
42014	What is the other unmaterialized wish, Gerry?"
42014	What kind of a bear is it?
42014	What right had their father to lose his fortune and bring disgrace and privation upon his family?
42014	What shall I do?"
42014	What was that?"
42014	What would Jane''s decision be?
42014	What would two weeks more or less matter?
42014	What would we do?"
42014	What''s that noise I hear?"
42014	What?
42014	When Merry asked if their search had taken them close to the tomb of the old Ute Indian, Bob had looked over at Dan and had asked,"Shall we tell?"
42014	When are we going down there, Dan?"
42014	When they had reached the last, Bob asked:"Is it a message telling where the box is?"
42014	When they joined the excited group on the front porch, Bob stood up, saying,"Shall we start now?"
42014	When they were alone, Merry whirled and caught Jane''s hands as she asked glowingly:"Can you guess what''s in the box?
42014	Where are they?"
42014	Where did they go and why?"
42014	Where do the townspeople live?"
42014	While Meg talked, she realized that Dan had still more to tell, and so she asked:"Where did you boys search, and did you find anything at all?"
42014	Who do you suppose he is?"
42014	Who will go with me and where shall we begin the search?"
42014	Will he hurt us?"
42014	Will that be all right?"
42014	Will you do that if I get the materials?"
42014	Without a word of greeting she said:"The children, have they been found?"
42014	Wo n''t Gerry be wild with joy?
42014	Wo n''t it, Dan?"
42014	Wo n''t that be high jinks, though?
42014	Wo n''t you ever grow up, and greet people in a more dignified way?"
42014	Wo n''t you give up all thought of going away and try once again to be that other girl?"
42014	Wo n''t you take the third?"
42014	Would n''t it be great if we could find the lost gold vein on our very own ten acres?
42014	Would n''t it have been easier for us to follow that?"
42014	Would n''t that be fun?
42014	Would n''t you rather read it to yourself?"
42014	Would this torture never end?
42014	Would you admire a girl who would fall upon your neck after you had been rude to her?"
42014	You are seventeen, now, are n''t you?"
42014	You never have cared for any girl yet, have you?
42014	You think it was about an hour after that?"
42014	You want them, do n''t you, Janey?"
42014	You will want to go with Dan to take care of him, wo n''t you, Jane?"
42014	You''d love me, would n''t you?"
6067	A man tied to a horse? 6067 A stone?"
6067	A-- a bob- cat?
6067	And 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?"
6067	And how about you, Master Stacy?
6067	And perhaps you may be able to tell us, also, where we may hope to find game?
6067	And that?
6067	And we can take them with us?
6067	And you still want a pony, do you, my son?
6067	And you will know what he means?
6067	And, by the way, are you sure you are right about this business, Walt?
6067	Any boy with those two things would n''t change places with a king, would he, fellows?
6067	Are the dogs dead?
6067	Are the dogs ready?
6067	Are there bears up here?
6067	Are we going to explore them?
6067	Are you all safe down there, Tad?
6067	Are you going to keep me in this suspense all night?
6067	Are you hurt?
6067	Are you hurt?
6067	Are you ready?
6067	Are you sure it is fools''gold, Professor?
6067	Are-- are bob- cats good to eat?
6067	Are-- are they for us-- for us to use?
6067	Bear cubs? 6067 Bears, did you say?"
6067	Been away, Ben?
6067	But Tad?
6067	But do n''t hit him, will you?
6067	But why should they wish to harm me? 6067 But you did not?"
6067	But, I guess he''s about right, eh, Walter? 6067 But, what happened then?
6067	But, what kind of a club? 6067 Call that a bed?"
6067	Can I get a horse anywhere around here?
6067	Chunky''s uncle is going to get him a pony?
6067	Club? 6067 D-- do-- down in that dark place?
6067	Did n''t I tell you I''d show you the biggest thing you ever saw in your life?
6067	Did not go with you? 6067 Did you ever try to find the Lost Claim?"
6067	Did you notice that everything in the Professor''s tent had been fairly turned inside out? 6067 Did you tell him what ailed Jinny?"
6067	Do n''t you distinguish a difference in the tone of one of the dogs''bark?
6067	Do 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?
6067	Do you know what lies there, less than ten rods away?
6067	Do you know where that long package marked''hard tack''is, Jose?
6067	Do you think we are going to desert you and leave you here, perhaps to be killed?
6067	Do you think we ever shall find them?
6067	Do you think you would like to go with the boys on their jaunt this summer?
6067	Do you want to sell Jinny?
6067	Do? 6067 Father did n''t care so much about them, did he?"
6067	Fix them so they ca n''t get away?
6067	Followed us? 6067 Gold?
6067	Got any charges left in your magazines?
6067	Got any sugar, Walter?
6067	Got hold of who?
6067	Got what?
6067	Got who?
6067	Got your life insured?
6067	Hang him? 6067 Has-- he--- gone?"
6067	Have we any lunch with us?
6067	Honey? 6067 How are we going to hunt?
6067	How far is it to Chillicothe, kid?
6067	How long would it take you to make the trip there and back?
6067	How much do you think you could get for her?
6067	How much will you charge?
6067	How much?
6067	How old is Jinny?
6067	How soon can you start?
6067	How''d you get it?
6067	How''s everything?
6067	How''s the boy?
6067	How?
6067	I said, do you want to sell your horse?
6067	I say, will ye git?
6067	I take it you would be very happy to be able to join them on their outings?
6067	I wonder if it is gold?
6067	I wonder where the guide is?
6067	I? 6067 I?
6067	If I thought you would n''t fall off----"I fall off?
6067	If we could catch a live bob- cat to go with them, would n''t that be great?
6067	Is Tad Butler going on that old skate of his?
6067	Is it old Jinny that you are speaking of, if I may ask?
6067	Is this more fools''gold?
6067	Is this the end of the cave?
6067	Is-- is he dead?
6067	Jam?
6067	Know what they are?
6067	Make an offer?
6067	Makes a fellow feel as if he were walking on air, does n''t it?
6067	May I come in?
6067	Mean to tell me you do n''t want a pony like this?
6067	My-- my-- mine?
6067	Need a comb, do n''t I?
6067	No; do you want to kill the dogs?
6067	Not much of a breakfast, is it, Jimmie? 6067 Nothing, except go down and pick him up----""But how?"
6067	Nothing? 6067 Now, what are we going to do, I''d like to know?"
6067	Off?
6067	Oh, you saw me, did you? 6067 One for each of us?
6067	Ponies? 6067 School?
6067	See anything?
6067	Shall we haul up?
6067	Shall we help ourselves?
6067	Shall we see any of them?
6067	Shall we take our guns?
6067	Splendid, is it not?
6067	Suppose we start with a race? 6067 Sure of what?"
6067	That''s all right, but where are we going to find any officers?
6067	The dogs?
6067	The man is a thief, you say, Thomas?
6067	The next question is, whom shall we have for president of the club?
6067	The penalty-- the penalty? 6067 Then it was a real gold mine?"
6067	Then what are we going to do? 6067 Then what do you say to our riding out and back with him, Walt?"
6067	Then, to what penalty do you refer?
6067	Then, 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?"
6067	They have no flesh on them at all, to speak of, now----"Will they bite?
6067	Thinking about what?
6067	To bed? 6067 Trouble?"
6067	Want to sell it?
6067	Warm, is n''t?
6067	Was that you shooting just now?
6067	We have not tried to make any like them yet----"Beds? 6067 We will call this our shooting day, eh, Thomas?"
6067	We''ll be real Indians now, wo n''t we?
6067	Well, now that you have her, what do you mean to do with her?
6067	Well, what do you think of that?
6067	Well, young man, how do you feel?
6067	Well?
6067	Wh-- wha-- what do you find?
6067	Wh-- what can we do?
6067	Wh-- where am I?
6067	Wha-- what is it-- bears?
6067	Wha-- what is it?
6067	What I want to know, is, when do we go hunting?
6067	What about the ponies?
6067	What are they after?
6067	What are they doing?
6067	What are you going to do when you get back, Tad?
6067	What are you going to do with her?
6067	What are you grinning at, you young ape?
6067	What are you looking for? 6067 What did you wake me up for?"
6067	What do they do with them?
6067	What do you advise doing with her?
6067	What do you propose to do with that fellow over there, guide?
6067	What do you reckon on shooting?
6067	What do you say, Professor?
6067	What do you think about it, Chunky?
6067	What do you think about it, Lige?
6067	What do you think has happened to him?
6067	What do you think we had better do, sir?
6067	What does this mean?
6067	What for?
6067	What for?
6067	What good are they when we have real rifles?
6067	What happened then?
6067	What happened to him finally?
6067	What have you discovered?
6067	What have you got?
6067	What is it? 6067 What is it?"
6067	What is it?
6067	What is it?
6067	What is it?
6067	What is it?
6067	What is the first thing this morning?
6067	What is the meaning of all this disturbance? 6067 What is the nearest railroad station to this place?"
6067	What is the pleasure of the meeting?
6067	What made you ask that question, Mother?
6067	What shall we call it? 6067 What shall we do with him now?"
6067	What time is it?
6067	What will you take for Jinny?
6067	What you going to do?
6067	What you got there, a skeleton?
6067	What''ll you give?
6067	What''s it all about?
6067	What''s that for?
6067	What''s that, younker? 6067 What''s that?
6067	What''s that?
6067	What''s that?
6067	What''s that?
6067	What''s that?
6067	What''s that?
6067	What''s the Lost Claim?
6067	What''s the matter with Chunky?
6067	What''s the matter with having Tad Butler for president? 6067 What''s the row?"
6067	What''s the trouble with her?
6067	What''s this? 6067 What''s this?
6067	What''s your hurry, sir?
6067	What?
6067	What?
6067	What?
6067	When do we go?
6067	Where are they?
6067	Where are you, Tad?
6067	Where are you?
6067	Where is Walt? 6067 Where is he?"
6067	Where is that pack train? 6067 Where-- is-- he?"
6067	Where?
6067	Which foot is he lame in?
6067	Which way did you see him go, Professor?
6067	While we run away?
6067	Who of you can pick up a hat on the run?
6067	Who''s no tenderfoot?
6067	Who, Tad?
6067	Whose ponies are they?
6067	Why ca n''t we skin the cat?
6067	Why ca n''t you go?
6067	Why do n''t you move the pony? 6067 Why do n''t you?"
6067	Why do you ask that? 6067 Why do you think that?"
6067	Why does n''t he say something?
6067	Why not go on by moonlight? 6067 Why not show us, then?"
6067	Why not, my boy?
6067	Why, do n''t you see? 6067 Why, what could you do with an old, broken- down animal like that?"
6067	Will they bite?
6067	Will you let me go out with my rifle to look for some game for breakfast? 6067 Will-- will there be bears and things there?"
6067	Wish you had him, do n''t you?
6067	Would n''t he do it?
6067	Yes, Tad; what is it?
6067	Yes, but what are we going to do about Tad?
6067	Yes, but what are you going to do? 6067 Yes, but what shall I do?"
6067	Yes, sir?
6067	Yes-- but-- but you, Mother?
6067	Yes; but what are we going to do?
6067	Yes? 6067 Yes?"
6067	Yes?
6067	Yes?
6067	Yet, how is he going to get one? 6067 You did n''t?
6067	You do n''t mean it?
6067	You say the old mare is unfit for further service, Jim?
6067	You 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?"
6067	You? 6067 And snakes?
6067	And you want to know where you are going?"
6067	And you wished my son to say nothing about it?"
6067	And, if anyoue did, why should he adopt such a peculiar way of attack?
6067	Any danger of that cougar jumping down on me here?"
6067	Are n''t you going to stop to tali with a fellow?"
6067	Are you all right?"
6067	Are you willing, fellows?"
6067	Believe me, I did----""Pinked him?"
6067	But I got him, did n''t I, Professor?"
6067	But did your father say he would get Tad a pony?"
6067	But 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?"
6067	But what are you getting at, Walt?"
6067	But, how are we going to get them to camp?"
6067	But, if he went that way, he did n''t follow you?"
6067	CHAPTER X THE LOSS OF THE PACK TRAIN"Feels good to be in the saddle again, does n''t it, Walt?"
6067	Ca n''t he talk, Thomas?"
6067	Can you make it out?"
6067	Can you slip it over your shoulders and under your arms?"
6067	Can you steer the car enough to keep it in the road, do you think?"
6067	D''ye hear?"
6067	Did he agree?"
6067	Did he bite me?"
6067	Did he go hack to bed?"
6067	Did n''t you find it?"
6067	Did you know that?"
6067	Do n''t you hear them?"
6067	Do you happen to know where there are any ponies for sale at this moment?"
6067	Do you know of any place where there is real gold in this part of the Rockies?"
6067	Do you know,"continued Walter after a moment of silence,"I never told my father that Tad did that for me?"
6067	Do you want to spoil our fun?"
6067	Does my uncle know about Tad''s old mare?"
6067	Dogs climb trees?"
6067	Eh, Tad?"
6067	Fine to have a doctor like that, is n''t it?"
6067	Got anything to suggest?"
6067	Got him?"
6067	Got that cat skin ye was talking about?"
6067	Hang him?
6067	Has any of you ever handled a gun before?"
6067	Have you seen Mr. Perkins to- day?"
6067	He 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?"
6067	Hear him squall?"
6067	Here?"
6067	How can you suggest such a thing?
6067	How do you feel, Chunky?"
6067	How''s the new pony, Chunky?
6067	I ca n''t think of any other name, can you?"
6067	I came near losing my life too, and----""A cave?"
6067	I do n''t see anything very fetching about Tad, do you?
6067	I guess you''ll all agree that it belongs to Tad Butler?"
6067	I remember when I was an officer in the German army----""Professor, may we go out and follow the trail of Chunky''s pussy cat?"
6067	I should think they might have located it in that way?"
6067	I suppose you know what they do with hoss thieves in this country, do n''t you?"
6067	I tell you, it''s mighty tough----""Yes?"
6067	I-- I-- what is it you wish me to do with the pony?"
6067	I----""Why do you ask, Tad?"
6067	Is it possible?"
6067	Is n''t he a beauty?"
6067	Is this the first time you have presided at a meeting?"
6067	It was just after I had lost my tent----""Over that way?"
6067	It would make a man very rich, would it not?"
6067	Jose bring me a box of those thirty- eights, will you?"
6067	Looks like it, does n''t it?"
6067	Mebby you think he''s having some sort of a picnic down there, eh?"
6067	More bear?"
6067	Mr. Chairman, will you please take the chair and call this meeting to order?"
6067	Now, would n''t that be great?"
6067	Say, Chunky, remember the time when the men from Texas had those ponies here-- brought them here to sell?"
6067	Say, did I get thrown then?"
6067	Suppose we ask him?
6067	Tackers?"
6067	The intelligent animals, after sniffing attentively at the articles, looked up at the guide as much as if to say:"Well, what about it?"
6067	Then you told him?
6067	They wo n''t be so fast to----""See here, Tad Butler, what do you take us for?"
6067	Thomas?"
6067	Thomas?"
6067	Thomas?"
6067	Thomas?"
6067	Was he dreaming?
6067	Was that some more fools''gold you picked up back there?"
6067	We''re not going to shoot the ponies, are we?"
6067	What are we going to do, Professor?"
6067	What are we going to do, Thomas-- how are we to rescue the boy?"
6067	What are you going to do?"
6067	What are you trying to do?
6067	What breed of tenderfoot do you think we belong to?"
6067	What did he say?"
6067	What did you give for him?"
6067	What do you mean by running away from me like this?"
6067	What do you say, Tad?"
6067	What do you say, fellows?"
6067	What do you think of it?"
6067	What do you think of that?"
6067	What do you think of that?"
6067	What do you think we elected you for?
6067	What does that mean?"
6067	What does this whirlwind arrival mean?"
6067	What for?
6067	What has been your experience, may I ask?"
6067	What has that to do with Walter?"
6067	What is it?"
6067	What is on your mind?"
6067	What is the meaning of this, sir?"
6067	What is your pleasure, gentlemen?''"
6067	What kind of a club?"
6067	What kind?"
6067	What would I do with it, if I had it?
6067	What''ll you give me to pull you in?"
6067	What''s this?"
6067	When will you return?"
6067	Where are we going?"
6067	Where are you?"
6067	Where did you find the second piece?"
6067	Where did you get her?"
6067	Where did your father say we were to ride to?
6067	Where is it that you think you see bushes?"
6067	Where is it?"
6067	Where''s my rifle?"
6067	Where?"
6067	Who wants to buy her?"
6067	Who would ever think of finding a cat up here?"
6067	Who''ll go into the cave with me?"
6067	Why does n''t he fall off?"
6067	Why not?"
6067	Why, Mr. Thomas, where did you get honey?"
6067	Why?"
6067	Why?"
6067	Will it be all right for me to swing myself?"
6067	Will you be the chairman, Ned?"
6067	Will you let me turn Jinny in the clover patch there, mother?
6067	Will you stay, Ned?"
6067	Will you take us over to explore it, in the morning, Mr. Thomas?
6067	Wo n''t the boys go wild when they see them?
6067	Would he ever have as much as that?
6067	You can not mean that Walter has come to any real harm?
6067	You do n''t want to go back, do you?"
6067	You refer to imprisonment, of course?"
6067	You surely do n''t intend to remain here?"
6067	You understand that, do n''t you, Tad?"
6067	You will understand me, wo n''t you?
33306	''We''?
33306	A closed door? 33306 A night guard?"
33306	Also, you were wearing it that other night, when you heaved a stone down on my office roof?
33306	Am I not your friend, too?
33306	And the Carson business: you were mixed up in that, too?
33306	And the distance to Jack''s Cabin?
33306	And the electric signal service system in the upper canyon is a part of the defence for the mine?
33306	And the family is Southern-- from what section?
33306	And you analysed it?
33306	And you have never sought for an explanation?--beyond the one which would stamp him as the vilest, the most inhuman of criminals?
33306	And you know who did it?
33306	And you say that Mr. Pelham knows this?
33306	And you say that the hoodoo has n''t got around to using high explosives yet, eh? 33306 And you think one of the stone- cutters went down from the camp to give Hoskins a jolt?"
33306	And you were wearing that rain- coat when you did it?
33306	Anybody I know?
33306	Anybody been over to- day?
33306	Are they frequent in the head basin of the Boiling Water?
33306	Are you still determined not to let me efface it for you?
33306	Are you sure of that, Aunt June?
33306	Are you? 33306 Around the office, you say?"
33306	At what time in that day?
33306	Beckwith with his game- bag?
33306	Been bearding the lion in his den, have you?
33306	Blood?
33306	Bromley? 33306 But first let me ask you, Bromley: What sort of a rifle marksman was Sanderson?"
33306	But to- day?
33306	But why should two, or a dozen of them, fire on us in the dark? 33306 Ca n''t the old fellow be conciliated in some way?"
33306	Ca n''t you see what would happen-- what is likely to happen if Mr. Wingfield sees fit to make literary material out of all these mysteries?
33306	Carload o''hosses?
33306	Cloud- bursts?
33306	Could n''t he swim?
33306	Did I not? 33306 Did he come here horseback?"
33306	Did n''t I tell you he is going to be_ my_ guest?
33306	Did n''t I? 33306 Did n''t you know it?"
33306	Did you kill Macpherson?--as well as Braithwaite and Sanderson?
33306	Did you or Mr. Bromley notice what bend o''the river that curve is at?
33306	Did you see them do it?
33306	Do n''t like the looks of it, do you?
33306	Do n''t need a chief, do you?
33306	Do n''t we always say that when the trouble is personal?
33306	Do you blame me, Loudon?
33306	Do you dare to repeat those stories to me?
33306	Do you expect me to tell you about it here and now?--with Mr. Wingfield sitting just three seats back of me, on the right?
33306	Do you happen to know where she is now?
33306	Do you know what you have done? 33306 Do you never change your plans suddenly, Mr. Ballard?
33306	Do you think I''m going to lie down and let these cattle- punchers ride rough- shod over me and the company I represent? 33306 Do you want to know how much I trust you?
33306	Elsa, dearest, can you look me in the eyes and tell me that you do not love_ me_?
33306	Father, are you asleep?
33306	For me? 33306 For purely commercial reasons, of course?
33306	Getting on your nerves, Jerry?
33306	Gold?
33306	Good load to- night, John?
33306	Had n''t you heard it? 33306 Has any one told you that Mr. Wingfield is making the studies for a new play?"
33306	Has nobody ever seen the inside of this Golconda of a mine?
33306	Have you?
33306	He was willing?
33306	Horse- play, is it?
33306	How about the cow- puncher-- Grigsby-- who brought my horse over and got my bag?
33306	How about your friend?
33306	How are you coming on with the work, Loudon?
33306	How are you getting on?
33306	How can the genial, kindly, magnanimous man we know, or think we know, be such a fiend incarnate?
33306	How can you question it?
33306	How could she be runnin''any way but forrards?
33306	How could there be?
33306	How could you know it? 33306 How could you reason your way around to that?"
33306	How did they manage to move the sick man?
33306	How do you know?
33306	How does he get the water up there to make all that greenery?
33306	How else would I get there?
33306	How is the bullet- gouge by this time?
33306	How long does it take you to really get acquainted with people?
33306	How long had your train been broken in two before the two sections came in collision?
33306	How long have you known this?
33306	How many men do you suppose Carson can muster for this cattle round- up?
33306	How much have you got of this?
33306	How?
33306	How?
33306	I suppose I do n''t need to ask if you can ride a range pony?
33306	I''m not vindictive: why should I be?
33306	I? 33306 If you did n''t break in two, what did happen?"
33306	If you were called in as an expert, what would you make of that?
33306	In the courts, you mean?
33306	Is Mr. Bromley to marry your widow? 33306 Is Mr. Bromley your boss?"
33306	Is he badly hurt?
33306	Is he truly Jack Forsyth''s successor?
33306	Is it always going to be''some time''? 33306 Is it going to bump those fellows off of our trail?"
33306	Is it loaded?
33306	Is that all?
33306	Is there anybody in your camp who knows the trail?
33306	Is your name Manuel?
33306	It was up to me, was n''t it, Colonel Craigmiles?
33306	It''s pretty bad, is n''t it?
33306	Let me have a look at it, will you?
33306	Looking for trouble with Manuel, you would say?
33306	Loudon, has it ever occurred to you that the colonel''s mine play is a very large- sized trump card? 33306 Loudon, what manner of man is this Colonel Craigmiles?"
33306	Meaning that I have found the man who is responsible for all these desperate and deadly doings? 33306 Meaning that I might let you go and dress for dinner?
33306	Meaning that this cow- boy cattle- thief tangle in the lower valley has made you_ persona non grata_ at Castle''Cadia? 33306 Meaning the broken formations?"
33306	More accidents?
33306	No? 33306 No?
33306	Not mention it?--to Bromley? 33306 Now, then, I want to know where you got that sample, Breckenridge?"
33306	Of what?
33306	Oh, I say, Loudon; has that canyon path been dug out again?--where the slide was?
33306	Oh; so there_ was_ a quarrel? 33306 On general principles?"
33306	Others?
33306	Out of Castle''Cadia? 33306 Perhaps you have met Miss-- er-- the daughter who comes and goes?"
33306	Really?
33306	Say, Mr. Ballard; what do you do when a horse bucks under you?
33306	Say; how many of you did it take to run this here little bluff on us?
33306	So it was you who hit Bromley on the head and knocked him into the canyon?
33306	Somebody''s private hotel?
33306	Strike work, you mean?
33306	Summing it all up, what is your conclusion, Wingfield? 33306 That is a very natural question; but does n''t it strike you, Mr. Ballard, that this is hardly the time or place to go into it?"
33306	That was Braithwaite''s notion, I suppose?
33306	That was almost tragic, was n''t it?
33306	That you, Loudon?
33306	The danger is immediate, then?
33306	The motive?
33306	The what?
33306	Then Billy Sanderson took it-- you remember Billy, in my year? 33306 Then Pelham and his people were interlopers?"
33306	Then you did n''t mean what you were saying?
33306	Then you doubtless know who is responsible for all the terrible happenings; the-- the_ crimes_?
33306	Then you entirely disregard the little type- written note?
33306	There is no connection between the two-- in your mind?
33306	There was no one hurt? 33306 There were witnesses, you say?
33306	There''s hope f''r the little man, Misther Ballard?
33306	They have left you alone?
33306	Think so? 33306 This is Mr. Ballard, I believe?"
33306	To get ahead of us, you mean?
33306	To- night?
33306	To-- to Wingfield?
33306	Very well.... Jerry, what we are talking about now is strictly between gentlemen: do you understand?
33306	Want me to come with it?
33306	Was that all?
33306	Was that before or after the opening of your father''s mine over yonder?
33306	Watch the dam?
33306	Well, what do you think now, Breckenridge?
33306	Well?
33306	Well?
33306	Well?
33306	Well?
33306	Were you near enough to identify the man if-- if you should see him again?
33306	What am I to look for?
33306	What are you going to do about it, Mr. Wingfield? 33306 What are you two young people plotting about over there?"
33306	What are your means of communication with the towns in the Gunnison valley?
33306	What do you believe?
33306	What do you know about it, Gardiner? 33306 What do you know about such things?"
33306	What do you know about the colonel''s house- hold, Loudon?
33306	What do you make of it, Loudon?--what does it mean?
33306	What do you suppose Mr. Pelham will say when he hears that you have really made love to the cow- punching princess?
33306	What does Hoskins say? 33306 What has happened?"
33306	What have you been doing all these months that you have n''t dug it out for yourselves?
33306	What is finer than true friendship?
33306	What is it, Bourke?
33306	What is it, Bourke?
33306	What is it, child? 33306 What is it, old boy?"
33306	What is it? 33306 What is the Mexican doing here?"
33306	What shall I do with it?
33306	What station was that we just passed?
33306	What was it?
33306	What was that?
33306	What was the story?
33306	What will you do?
33306	What would you do, O wise virgin of the market- place?
33306	What you did n''t do to Carson and his gang was good and plenty, was n''t it, Breckenridge?
33306	What''s that?
33306	What''s wanted?
33306	What''s your notion, Loudon?
33306	What? 33306 Where is he?"
33306	Where? 33306 Whereabouts does this here back trail end up-- for us easy- marks, Cap''n Ballard?"
33306	Whereabouts is your quarry?
33306	Which is another way of saying that we have bored you until you are sleepy?
33306	Which means that you''re not going to stay here and drive the stone and concrete gangs yourself?
33306	Which way did the Mexican go?
33306	Which way was she running when you jumped, John?--forward or backward?
33306	Who is this Manuel?
33306	Who is your father?
33306	Who was the third?
33306	Whose guest is he? 33306 Why are you waiting?
33306	Why do n''t you take a start and grow some?
33306	Why not?
33306	Why should n''t I tell you all of it?
33306	Why should n''t the colonel want to be present at his own funeral? 33306 Why?"
33306	Will you do now what I begged you to do at first?--throw up this cursed job and go away?
33306	Will you help me tie it up?
33306	Will you so regard us?
33306	Will youh shot- up arm sanction a day''s travel, Mistuh Ballard?
33306	Wo n''t I?
33306	Wonder if I c''d knock a two- bagger with that hat o''his''n without mussin''his hair?
33306	Would a hungry little dog eat his supper, Mr. Ballard? 33306 Yes; how_ do_ you know?"
33306	Yet you have often thought of Braithwaite''s drowning, when you have been rounding that particular curve? 33306 You are come to take poor Mr. Macpherson''s place?"
33306	You are nearly through?
33306	You are not going to keep Mr. Bromley at the camp, are you? 33306 You are not leaving?"
33306	You are trying to give it to me, are n''t you?
33306	You are waiting to see me?
33306	You brought Miss Craigmiles here? 33306 You did keep it?"
33306	You found my note last evening-- when you were returning with Sheriff Beckwith?
33306	You give- a the h- order in this valley, señor?
33306	You have heard?
33306	You have n''t seen young Carson in the last hour or so, have you, Patsy?
33306	You still believe there is no hope of a compromise?
33306	You stumbled?
33306	You think your father will win his law- suit and so break the market?
33306	You wo n''t tell me that you are in love with Wingfield?
33306	You''ll be ready to quit for the day when we get in, wo n''t you?
33306	You''ll come up and see me?
33306	You''ll go?
33306	You''re forgetting Miss Elsa''s fishing party to the upper canyon, are n''t you? 33306 You''ve been in the country house, then?"
33306	You''ve seen something?
33306	You-- you do n''t believe it? 33306 Your deductions, Professor?"
33306	_ You said that to Dosia?_There was something like suppressed horror in the low- spoken query.
33306	*****"Are you quite sure it was n''t all a frightful dream?"
33306	All strangers, so far?"
33306	All the same, if it is not her father she is trying to shield, who, in the name of all that is good, can it be?
33306	All this is very wearisome to you, is n''t it?"
33306	Am I making it cleah to you, Mistuh Ballard?"
33306	Am I making it sufficiently plain?"
33306	Am I right?"
33306	Am I safe in assuming so much?"
33306	Am I still cleah?"
33306	Am I still in time to be in at the death?"
33306	And I have?"
33306	And did it have any connection with that phrase in President Pelham''s wire:"We need a fighting man"?
33306	And how about that arm?
33306	And may I call it my discovery?"
33306	And the shots?"
33306	And then to Blacklock:"Are you in it, too, Jerry?"
33306	And then to his hostess:"Are you willing, Miss Craigmiles?"
33306	And then, with a note of constraint in her voice that was quite new to him:"You are not obliged to go back to Elbow Canyon to- night, are you?
33306	And you are Colonel Craigmiles?"
33306	And, as the company''s chief engineer, you could doubtless get in on the''ground floor''that Mr. Pelham is always talking about, could n''t you?"
33306	And, by the way, that reminds me: neither of you two youngsters is responsible for the foundations of that dam; is n''t that the fact?"
33306	Are n''t you delighted to see us?
33306	Are the orders other for me?"
33306	Are there any of youh ditch camps at present in the riveh valley below heah?"
33306	Are you listening?"
33306	Are you obliged to go back to your camp to- night?"
33306	Are you picketed?"
33306	Are you sure there was no one hurt?"
33306	Ballard?"
33306	Ballard?"
33306	Ballard?"
33306	Ballard?"
33306	Ballard?"
33306	Ballard?"
33306	Ballard?--if a man might be asking?"
33306	Blacklock, here, has seen this woman; but I''d like to ask if either of you two have?"
33306	Bromley?"
33306	Bromley?"
33306	But what do you know about it?--if I may venture to ask?"
33306	But what was the mystery hinted at in Lassley''s telegram?
33306	But would the contractor''s men consent to fight the colonel''s battle?
33306	But you''ll be lenient with us, wo n''t you?
33306	By the way, have there been any more visitations since I went out on the line last Tuesday?"
33306	By the way, this is the room, is n''t it?
33306	By the way, what was the matter with him while we were eating breakfast?
33306	Can you do it?"
33306	Could there be anything more than coincidence in these fatalities?"
33306	D''ye see?"
33306	Did n''t I hear Mr. Pelham say that the watchword-- your watchword-- was to be''drive,''for every man, minute, and dollar there was in it?"
33306	Did n''t Mr. Lassley telegraph you not to go to Arcadia?"
33306	Did n''t you find him all the things I said he was-- and then some?"
33306	Did n''t you say something about being hopeful because I was aware of the existence of an America west of the Alleghanies?"
33306	Did some one tell me it was a fever?"
33306	Did you come aboard with that party at Omaha?"
33306	Did you embroider it for her?
33306	Did you have a hand in that?"
33306	Did you hear the sick baby?"
33306	Do I bring the gun here?"
33306	Do I know any of your sight- seers, besides Mrs. Van Bryck?"
33306	Do I make myself cleah?"
33306	Do n''t you believe it?"
33306	Do n''t you find it so?"
33306	Do n''t you see?"
33306	Do we hike out now?--right away?"
33306	Do you blame him so very much?"
33306	Do you know a little sand creek in the hogback called Dry Valley?"
33306	Do you know who made the attempt?"
33306	Do you see that black streak out there on the shale, just about at the path level?
33306	Do you think Mr. Wingfield really cares anything for me?
33306	Do you-- do you know how your father died, Breckenridge?"
33306	Does n''t he ever play for you?"
33306	Does none of these things move you?"
33306	Does that clear another of the horizons for you?"
33306	Does that clear the horizon for you?"
33306	Does that patch in the ceiling cover the hole?"
33306	Had any of them been seen in the vicinity of the outpost camp?
33306	Had n''t you suspected?
33306	Had you thought of that?"
33306	Has this emotional insanity you are talking about anything to do with the old cattle king''s objection to being syndicated out of existence?"
33306	Have either of you two imagination enough to help me out?"
33306	Have you arrived at that conclusion, also?"
33306	Have you ever seen any of it before?"
33306	Have you forgotten that to- day-- a few hours ago-- another attempt was made upon your life?"
33306	Have you fully made up your mind to leave me here while you go on down to the railroad?
33306	Have you lost him?"
33306	Have you really decided that it is quite safe to trust yourself in the camp of the enemy?"
33306	Have you seen anything to make you believe that these fellows have a tip from the big house in the upper valley?"
33306	He is som''where on da camp?"
33306	How are you coming on?
33306	How could they know whether we were friends or enemies?"
33306	How did you know?
33306	How do I know?"
33306	How far is it-- six miles, or thereabouts?"
33306	How long did you say the colonel had lived in Arcadia?"
33306	How long will it take us to get in?"
33306	How many drinks did you take in those two hours?"
33306	How the dickens did you manage to hear of it?"
33306	How''s Bromley?
33306	Huccome you to get lef'', Cap''n Boss?"
33306	I assume that he has a name, like other men?"
33306	I put it to you as man to man; would you have disappointed her?"
33306	I suppose it is n''t necessary to ask who tripped you?"
33306	I wonder if I can get Bromley?"
33306	I wonder if I could see him for a few minutes, before I go back to camp?"
33306	If not, who was the murderer?--and why was the colonel''s daughter so evidently determined to shield him?
33306	In Cuba?"
33306	Is he better?"
33306	Is it Mr. Wingfield now?"
33306	Is it because I''m only one of many?
33306	Is it true that the Colorado irrigation scheme has blotted out three of its field officers?"
33306	Is n''t it pathetic?"
33306	Is n''t it so?"
33306	Is n''t this the Denver car?"
33306	Is that all?"
33306	Is that the colonel''s country house up yonder in the middle of our reservoir- that- is- to- be?"
33306	Is the arm hurting like sin?"
33306	Is there annything I can do?"
33306	Is your anxiety-- the trouble you refuse to share with me-- any lighter?"
33306	Let me see; how many is that?"
33306	Macpherson?"
33306	May I come again to Castle''Cadia?"
33306	Must you go now?
33306	My resignation goes in to- morrow morning, and I take it yours will?"
33306	Nothing serious, I hope?"
33306	Now that is settled, will you take a little walk with me?
33306	Of course, you''ll get yourself recalled to New York at once?"
33306	Oh, for pity''s sake ca n''t you think of some way to stop him?"
33306	Or are you all Mrs. Van Bryck''s guests?"
33306	Or are you to figure as the consolation prize for his widow?
33306	Or is it your attitude toward all men?"
33306	Or, rather, what is at the bottom of it?"
33306	P.?"
33306	People will be eager to buy it-- won''t they?--with the work all done, and everything in readiness to tap the stream of sudden wealth?"
33306	Say; you do n''t happen to have an extra spark- plug about your clothes, either of you, do you?
33306	Shall I have Otto bring the car and drive you around to your camp?"
33306	Shall I run him off the riservation?"
33306	She leaned over the arm of the driving- seat and searched his eyes pleadingly:"Please tell me: how much did Mr. Wingfield find out?"
33306	Silence again for a little space; and then:"There is no doubt in your mind that he has hit upon the true solution of all the little mysteries?"
33306	Suppose you ask him?"
33306	Tell me frankly, is there any good reason why I should n''t?"
33306	Tell me, Elsa, dear: is your father always fully accountable for his actions?"
33306	Tell me: was Sanderson more than casually interested in the details of Braithwaite''s drowning?
33306	That means nothing to you-- does it also mean nothing that your life was imperilled within an hour of your arrival at your camp?"
33306	That''s simply ripping good stuff-- worlds of possibilities in a thing like that, do n''t you know?
33306	The vital question, under such abnormal conditions as those presenting themselves in your canyon, is, What kind of rock was it?"
33306	Then he asked the question for which Ballard was waiting:"How did Mr. Pelham take the new grief?"
33306	Then suddenly:"What brought you here-- so late?"
33306	Then, abruptly:"Loudon, who uses the path that goes up on our side of the canyon and over into the Castle''Cadia valley?"
33306	Then, lowering his voice again:"Is the boy trustworthy?"
33306	Then, remembering Bromley''s report of the empty ranch headquarters and corrals:"You think there is danger?"
33306	Then:"Will Mr. Pelham come out to the formal and triumphal opening of the Arcadian Irrigation District?"
33306	Then:"You''re going to walk?"
33306	There was a little space for action, but what could be done?
33306	They''ll probably shoot at you, but you wo n''t mind that, with six or eight feet of granite for a breastwork, will you, Jerry?"
33306	Want to dodge''em?"
33306	Was Macpherson''s death purely accidental?--or Braithwaite''s?
33306	Was it possible that the three violent deaths were not mere coincidences, after all?
33306	We drove it all right, though, did n''t we, Colonel?
33306	What about that?"
33306	What are we going to do about that undermined hill?"
33306	What could have induced her to substitute a summer in Colorado, travelling under Mrs. Van Bryck''s wing?
33306	What do you heah?"
33306	What do you say?"
33306	What do you want me to do?"
33306	What does he know?--more than we know?"
33306	What does it mean?"
33306	What has happened?"
33306	What has upset you so?
33306	What if he had overheard the talk in the office?
33306	What is the attraction over here?--a summer- resort hotel?"
33306	What is the other half, Breckenridge?"
33306	What is the reason, the only reason, why Colonel Craigmiles should resort to all these desperate expedients?"
33306	What made you lose your head?"
33306	What was it you said to me about''two sheer accidents and a commonplace tragedy''?
33306	What was it you told me once about the high plane of men- friendships?
33306	What was the motive behind the hurled stone which had so nearly bred a tragedy on his first evening at Elbow Canyon?
33306	What was the mystery so evidently enshrouding the tragedies at Elbow Canyon?
33306	What will they do to him?"
33306	What will you do with Hoskins?"
33306	What will you do with this po''scoundrel of mine, Mistuh Ballard?"
33306	What would the most peerless Arcadia be without its shepherdess?
33306	What''s next?"
33306	When is it to be?"
33306	Where is father?"
33306	Where is he?"
33306	Where is she now?"
33306	Where is your father now?"
33306	Who ever tries to make a record of after- dinner fictions?
33306	Why did n''t you say something?"
33306	Why had Elsa Craigmiles changed her mind so suddenly about spending the summer in Europe?
33306	Why had Manuel gone out of his way to stop at the mine?
33306	Why have n''t you had him arrested and tried and condemned, like any other common murderer?"
33306	Why is it?
33306	Why should he expect it?
33306	Why should he try to kill you one minute and move heaven and earth to save your life the next?"
33306	Why should there be a''gentlemen''s agreement''to exclude your father?
33306	Why?
33306	Why?"
33306	Will you pardon me if I say that it seems to have its compensation in the law of recurrences?"
33306	Will you permit me to suggest that it was taking rather a long chance?--your bringing him down here?"
33306	Will you send Otto in the car to see if there is anything we can do?"
33306	Will you tell Mr. Pelham about the rotten tooth-- to- night, I mean?"
33306	Wingfield?"
33306	Wingfield?"
33306	Wingfield?"
33306	Wingfield?"
33306	Wingfield?"
33306	Wo n''t you be merciful and try me again?"
33306	Wo n''t you go along?"
33306	Wo n''t you please tell me the worst, Breckenridge?"
33306	Would Blacklock be one of the three?
33306	Would it pass without its tragedy?
33306	Would n''t that jar you?"
33306	Would the nerve- shattering mysteries never be cleared away?
33306	Would you call that a joke?"
33306	Yet do you know you have never once gone back of your college days in speaking of yourself?
33306	Yet he was quite unprepared for her grave and frankly reproachful question:"Why are n''t you going to Cuba?
33306	You are quite sure you were followed, you and Mr. Ballard, on the day before the dynamiting of the canal?"
33306	You are sure it was the colonel who fired at me?"
33306	You are tarred a little with the superstitious stick, yourself, are you?
33306	You do n''t care to go to the foot of the pass with one of the trains, do you?"
33306	You have been waiting some time?
33306	You say Wingfield is recovering?
33306	You took their word for these little details?"
33306	You were saying----?"
33306	You will excuse me if I go at once?
33306	You''ve had the open door, first, last, and all the time, have n''t you?"
33306	Youh-- youh name is Ballard-- Breckenridge Ballard, is n''t it?"
33306	are you hit?
33306	do you hear that, Jerry?"
33306	or did she put in the little hemstitchings for me?"
33306	said Bigelow, breaking the silence in which they had been riding for the greater part of the three hours,"what''s this we are coming to?"
33306	she asked; adding:"Some time when you are fit?"
33306	what have I done?"
33306	will he never saw it off and let us get that stone set?"
33306	with all the three- sheet- poster evidence staring you in the face?
30028	''What''s the use anyway?'' 30028 A few for rest perhaps, but scenery?
30028	Ah, yes, did you hear anything said as to whether he was coming this way?
30028	Ah, your business?
30028	Ah,said Houston,"how did you hear of that?"
30028	Ah,said his brother, quietly,"and what of the younger lady?
30028	All these mines will be owned and controlled by the New York company, will they not?
30028	Am I in time? 30028 And did you recognize it as the face of your dreams?"
30028	And do you think my own parents are now living?
30028	And have they never made any inquiry for her?
30028	And how are the ladies?
30028	And me and Bud, we''re to watch out for the boss?
30028	And was it a success?
30028	And what are these dreams, dear? 30028 And what may that reason be?"
30028	And what would be your solution?
30028	And when will she learn your secret? 30028 And who is stopping here with you?"
30028	And who is the man called''Jack,''who works with the Irishman?
30028	And you are left out in the cold?
30028	And you have never spoken to Jack about the picture since?
30028	And you say you have had this dream always?
30028	Any special engagements for this summer?
30028	Anything else I''m not to let him know?
30028	Anything serious?
30028	Are they the only miners living by themselves?
30028	Are you from the east?
30028	Are you in need of money?
30028	Are you looking backward or forward, to- night, Lyle?
30028	Arthur,he asked rather abruptly,"how soon do you go east?"
30028	Been down to the mines this morning?
30028	Boys, where are you going?
30028	Bud sent me,answered Jake;"he said to tell ye they''ve gone into the Lucky Chance, and what do ye be thinkin''o''that?"
30028	But Jack,said Lyle anxiously, going to him and laying her hands in his,"this will not put you in danger, will it?
30028	But can we not even know where we are going?
30028	But how can either of them know anything regarding my work here?
30028	But how can you prevent it, dear? 30028 But how did I ever come to live here with these people?"
30028	But how did you discover this?
30028	But how is it Ned did n''t know you? 30028 But what about the question of heredity?"
30028	But what will they do about their intended examination of the mines? 30028 But who was there to say anything prejudicial?
30028	But whose face is it, Lyle?
30028	But why do you believe this?
30028	But why do you bother to take them around with you all the time, like that?
30028	But why has Jack never told me of this, and of my mother? 30028 But you certainly would not include all women in such an assertion?"
30028	But you have a sweet voice,said Houston,"will you not sing for us?"
30028	But, Jack, I never saw it, did I?
30028	Could you assume the Irish dialect, on an occasion like this, Mr. Van Dorn?
30028	D''ye see the tenderfoot?
30028	Did I understand you to say that Mr. Cameron was in Chicago?
30028	Did Jack show you the picture?
30028	Did you care so much for him?
30028	Did you hear her say that, Miss Gladden?
30028	Did you not once tell me, Everard, in the old college days, that Mr. Cameron had lost a son also?
30028	Do you know the man who runs this house?
30028	Do you mean,asked Houston sternly,"that from this time there will be no more insinuations against ladies, and no innuendoes in their presence?"
30028	Do you never sing, Miss Maverick?
30028	Do you think so?
30028	Do you think,asked Miss Gladden, after a pause,"that it would be wise to give Lyle a hint of our suspicions?"
30028	Does Mr. Blaisdell try to impress his better half with a sense of his intellectual superiority, as he does the rest of his fellow mortals?
30028	Does he live alone?
30028	Does n''t she know who you really are?
30028	Does the mining company own the Yankee Boy?
30028	Everard, of what are you thinking so deeply?
30028	Fear of his wife, did you say, Miss Gladden? 30028 Getting up another article on the application of electric force?"
30028	Going to do what?
30028	Granting the parents and present life,said Houston,"is that any argument that she will always be''tied down here''as you say?"
30028	Guess the conversation was pretty much all on one side, was n''t it?
30028	Guy?
30028	Had Lyle any idea of what she meant by it?
30028	Has he many children?
30028	Has no one ever told you you could sing?
30028	Has she or Mr. Houston heard you sing?
30028	Has this gulch where we are, any such euphonious title?
30028	Has your cousin Humphrey been annoying you again?
30028	Have there been any camping parties yet?
30028	Have ye found''i m?
30028	Have you found the right one, yet?
30028	Have you talked with Jack, and does he think as you do?
30028	He does not call them her parents,thought Miss Gladden,"does he know she is not their child?"
30028	He is; do you know him? 30028 He used to,"replied Morgan,"but he do n''t do any more underground work, he--""Does n''t he?"
30028	He will be likely to remain here some time, then, will he not?
30028	High? 30028 Hold on a minute; say, Morgan, you do n''t suppose that they caught on to our deal, do you?
30028	How about Mr. Rutherford? 30028 How are you, Houston?"
30028	How are you, Ned?
30028	How did you ever get such a picture? 30028 How do you account for it?"
30028	How do you do, Miss Maverick? 30028 How do you know?"
30028	How do you pleasure seekers intend to spend the day?
30028	How has he succeeded in love- making?
30028	How is that?
30028	How long will they remain?
30028	How many are employed there? 30028 How so, my dear?"
30028	How soon is this blasting to begin?
30028	How will you manage it? 30028 How''s that?"
30028	Huh?
30028	Hullo, Billy,said Morgan, addressing the old miner,"what do you know to- night?"
30028	I beg your pardon,he said, in deep, musical tones,"I supposed myself alone with my own thoughts; am I intruding?
30028	I do n''t know just how late I may be detained,he answered, smiling,"Why?
30028	I do not understand you, Everard; you surely do not allude to the property?
30028	I do not understand you, Jack; why do you speak as though you could no more be to me the friend and counselor that you have been?
30028	I refer to the Lucky Chance mine; are you familiar with that property?
30028	I suppose, for a sufficient consideration, you would come out here on business for us, at any time?
30028	I suppose,said Rutherford, addressing his companion rather hesitatingly,"I suppose you will remain in Silver City for some time?"
30028	I will explain that a little later; what is the next in order?
30028	I''m not sure whether this is going to interfere with our arrangements or not; what do you think, Everard? 30028 If the supposition mentioned a moment ago were correct, how would she be here, amid such surroundings?"
30028	In what direction are you interested, if I may ask?
30028	In what direction is the drifting to extend?
30028	In what respect have I exceeded my authority?
30028	Indeed we will,added Houston cordially,"what time do you expect to be here, Ned?"
30028	Int''restin''? 30028 Is Helen here with you?"
30028	Is he interested in mines?
30028	Is he really in love with her, do you think?
30028	Is he still living?
30028	Is it any good?
30028	Is it in any way connected with the Sunrise mine of recent fame?
30028	Is it possible?
30028	Is it?
30028	Is old Cameron comin''out here?
30028	Is that so?
30028	Is that story still believed here?
30028	Is that the reason he has asked me so often regarding my early life?
30028	Is there a ghost story connected with the gulch, Miss Maverick?
30028	Is this her home?
30028	It is really true, and I have not been dreaming?
30028	It looks like Haight,said Miss Gladden,"but why is he creeping along so cautiously?"
30028	Jack,said Lyle earnestly,"can you tell me anything about my relatives?
30028	Jack,she said earnestly,"you have always appeared rather peculiar regarding Mr. Houston; tell me candidly, are you his friend, or his enemy?"
30028	Jim, in what shape is the powder in those mines? 30028 Keeps you pretty busy, I suppose?
30028	Love is come with a song and a smile, Welcome love with a smile and a song; Love can stay but a little while: Why can not he stay? 30028 Lyle, are you not rather severe?
30028	Lyle, what is the matter? 30028 Lyle, when are you going to take me to call on your friend, Jack?"
30028	Lyle, you gypsy, where are you going?
30028	Lyle,said Houston,"how did you ever think of this?
30028	Lyle,said Miss Gladden suddenly,"how old is this man whom you call Jack?"
30028	May I inquire whether those whom you consider her true parents are still living?
30028	May I inquire,said Jack, addressing Miss Gladden,"at what time you expect to return east?"
30028	Miss Gladden,said Houston very earnestly, but with great tenderness,"will you not let me help you to make a reality of your ideal?"
30028	Miss Gladden,said Houston,"why have we not been favored in this way earlier?"
30028	Morgan, how did you get that eye?
30028	Morgan,called Houston,"where are you going?"
30028	Mort Rutherford, of old college days? 30028 Mr. Van Dorn,"he said in his blandest tones,"may we have the pleasure of your company in our boat?"
30028	My boy, are you hurt?
30028	No one; do you think I need a guardian, or a chaperon?
30028	No, did they fight?
30028	No, very far from that; did you notice the young girl who came into Guy''s room to- night?
30028	No,answered Miss Gladden,"I can see no reason for such a belief as that; but why do you ask?"
30028	No,replied Lyle,"it is across the lake; you remember the landing I showed you among the rocks?
30028	No?
30028	Not for years? 30028 Of course,"answered Lyle,"what else are my eyes and my small stock of brains for, but to study everybody and everything that comes in my way?
30028	Of you, my dear child? 30028 Off?
30028	Oh, Walter, is there no hope?
30028	Oh,he replied with a sneer,"so you was settin''out there waitin''for the new clerk to come home, was n''t you?"
30028	On whose experience do you base your highly original remark, your brother''s or your own?
30028	Pardon me,said Miss Gladden,"but are your parents living?
30028	Say, Bull- dog, can you wash windows?
30028	Say, old boy,said Rutherford,"had n''t I better go down with you?
30028	Shall I send a team down?
30028	She shall be our own daughter, shall she not, Walter? 30028 So you knew of his habits and offered him money?
30028	Spell- bound? 30028 That so?"
30028	That''s right,said Haight,"now what object would he be likely to have in getting information from Jack?"
30028	That,said Jack,"is evidently the famous phantom of Spotted Horse gulch, but who has originated the idea?"
30028	That?
30028	The boss? 30028 The secretary?
30028	Then ought we not,said Miss Gladden thoughtfully,"both for her sake and theirs, to let them know that she is living, and help them to find her?"
30028	Then you will look out for him, and help him, will you not?
30028	Then, if he was in difficulty or danger, and needed help, you would help him, would you not?
30028	Then, if her identity could be proven beyond a doubt, would there be any one to give her such a home as she ought to have?
30028	Then, what in hell are you back here for?
30028	There are no strangers within hearing at present, Leslie,he replied,"but is n''t it nearly time for this crowd to take its departure?"
30028	There is a man,he soliloquized,"my equal, if not my superior, in birth, in education, in intellectual ability; how came he here?
30028	There seems to have been a great deal of mysterious consultation about this affair,remarked Rutherford,"what is the program for to- morrow?"
30028	They''ll have their own expert with them, I suppose?
30028	Think you could get it all done at noon, while the men are away?
30028	Thinks he''s goin''to boss us, does he? 30028 To bring the light?"
30028	To what mine do you refer?
30028	Very glad to see you, my dear boy,said Van Dorn, heartily,"but the mystery to me is, how do you happen to be here?"
30028	Very well, now listen; you are to get everything ready so that it will be nothing but''a touch and a go,''as soon as I say the word, understand? 30028 Wait till you see his eyes,"said Rutherford, then inquired,"By the way, did you see the old mining chap anywhere?"
30028	Was that in the days of the vigilantes?
30028	Well then, what in thunder,--if I may ask the question,--are you doing out here with this confounded Buncombe- Boomerang mining company?
30028	Well, Everard, old boy, how are you?
30028	Well,said Miss Gladden,"for one thing, we must have plenty of music; have neither of you gentlemen any musical instruments with you?"
30028	Well,said Morgan, as Houston overtook him,"what do you think of a''genuwine minin''camp,''as Billy calls it?"
30028	Were you there?
30028	What did he say of your voice?
30028	What did they say of your voice?
30028	What did you say was her name?
30028	What do I care for difficulty or danger?
30028	What do you mean by that last threat?
30028	What do you mean?
30028	What does he do?
30028	What girl?
30028	What instrument do you use?
30028	What is he doing there?
30028	What is her motive for wishing to see me?
30028	What is his object? 30028 What is that, boy?"
30028	What is that, my dear?
30028	What is the machine anyway?
30028	What is the meaning of this?
30028	What is the origin of all this mirth?
30028	What is the trouble, Everard?
30028	What is this, Houston?
30028	What makes you think so?
30028	What name did you say?
30028	What the divil do they think they''re givin''us?
30028	What was it about?
30028	What will you charge me for washing these four?
30028	What would be the best course for me to take?
30028	What would you advise me to do now?
30028	What''s his business here?
30028	What''s that girl Lyle tricked out in such finery for?
30028	What''s the matter now?
30028	What''s the matter with your eye, Morgan?
30028	What''s the matter, my boy?
30028	What''s the matter? 30028 What''s the use of beating about the bush?
30028	When did you reach Silver City? 30028 When will he get here?"
30028	When will the mines be reopened?
30028	When? 30028 Where is the child going?"
30028	Which company do you mean?
30028	Which way are you going?
30028	Who are his enemies?
30028	Who has given any orders for this powder to be brought here?
30028	Who in hell is that new feller you''ve got up here?
30028	Who is this?
30028	Who was there to put''em onto anything?
30028	Who were they?
30028	Who''s that new feller out there?
30028	Who''s that? 30028 Why do n''t you come to the point, Blaisdell?"
30028	Why do you always insist upon it so strongly that you have never known any other life than this?
30028	Why have n''t you ever told me before? 30028 Why might it not be possible?"
30028	Why must you know?
30028	Why so?
30028	Why so?
30028	Why so?
30028	Why, Miss Maverick, what will you do?
30028	Why, has he money?
30028	Why, have you seen them?
30028	Why, how is that?
30028	Why, how''s that?
30028	Why, man,said Houston indignantly,"what are you talking about?
30028	Why,asked Houston,"is he considered dangerous?"
30028	Why,said Houston, in surprise,"Blaisdell is quite well off, is n''t he?"
30028	Why?
30028	Why?
30028	Why?
30028	Why?
30028	Why?
30028	Would he let me come and see him?
30028	Ye do n''t mean for to do''i m up, do ye Pete?
30028	Yes; you probably know he and Morton are intending to stop here on their return?
30028	You are sure there is no one to hear us?
30028	You bet I do, and I''ll do a damned good job, too,Maverick replied, with a grin;"but what''s the signal, boss?"
30028	You do not expect Mrs. Cameron here with her husband?
30028	You have not heard any bad news, have you?
30028	You interest me very much are you willing to tell me how you arrived at this knowledge of which you speak?
30028	You live in New York, I suppose?
30028	You remember my uncle, do n''t you?
30028	You remember,she began,"the evening you passed our house?"
30028	You seem to have a''corner''on this part of the northwest?
30028	You spoke of some reasons on Lyle''s part for your conclusions; what were they?
30028	You think she was stolen?
30028	You will remain here until I come back?
30028	You would have cut me, would you?
30028	You''ll be here this evening, wo n''t you Van?
30028	''D ye hear''bout that fight that him''n Morgan had?"
30028	A moment later he asked,"Does Miss Gladden know what you are doing out here?"
30028	A pleasure trip, I presume?"
30028	Accept it?
30028	Am I not perfectly neutral?
30028	Answer at once; is everything ready?"
30028	Are my grandparents living?
30028	Are we not strangers?"
30028	Are you two fellows out here incognito making love to rustic maidens?
30028	As she and Lyle walked homeward together, the latter asked:"What do you think now of my friend, Miss Gladden?"
30028	At last he said, very pleasantly:"This is a favorite resort of yours, is it not, Miss Maverick?"
30028	But say, boss, what''s all this racket about, anyhow?
30028	But say, old fellow, is n''t this going to be a pretty nasty piece of business for you about that time?"
30028	By the way, have you ever been down to the quarters?"
30028	Can this be Edna''s child?"
30028	Can you give us the hotel where he was stopping?"
30028	Can you love me enough to share my life and home, whatever it may be, as my wife?"
30028	Consequently, the question arises,''What are you doing here?''"
30028	Could I see the photograph which you allowed Lyle to see?"
30028	Could she trust herself to sing that song to- night?
30028	Dear Jack, why could you not give up this lonely life, and go with us to the east?
30028	Did n''t you ever see him when you visited Mort?"
30028	Did the silently- waving pinions of the angel who"troubled the waters"give any hint of his beneficent approach?
30028	Did you devise this masquerade?"
30028	Did you ever have any business with him personally?"
30028	Did you know all the time who he was?"
30028	Do coming events cast their shadows before?
30028	Do you not believe that your life had a beginning elsewhere than here, and under far different conditions?"
30028	Faintly, as though sounding far in the distance, she heard Houston''s voice as he exclaimed:"Can it be possible?
30028	Finally he growled,"What was you doin''out so late last night?
30028	Glancing inquiringly at Houston, as he advanced to meet him, he asked anxiously:"Is he worse?"
30028	Got a wire from the boss?"
30028	Had I not better go home with you?"
30028	Had he passed heart- whole through all these sieges, only to fall a victim, here and now?
30028	Have you been well?"
30028	Have you found any one whom we can trust to help us?"
30028	Have you found what you hoped to find?"
30028	Have you noticed that fellow lately, Mr. Houston?
30028	Having given a searching glance around the room, she turned toward Jack, saying wistfully:"Am I asking too much?
30028	He has n''t such a surplus of children and wives, has he?"
30028	He must have made considerable money, what has become of it?"
30028	Hello there, Van Dorn, how do you do?
30028	Houston appeared very unconscious of Rutherford''s meaning, as he inquired,"How does Lyle herself regard your attentions?
30028	Houston continued,"have you told him?"
30028	Houston laughed;"How about the Englishman?"
30028	Houston smiled;"How would you like a trip out into the part of the country where I am going?
30028	Houston, are those statements and tracings all ready?"
30028	Houston, old boy, when can we look for you?"
30028	Houston?"
30028	Houston?"
30028	How about that other man, Rivers?
30028	How are you, Van Dorn?"
30028	How long would it take to get everything ready for action?"
30028	Is Jack-- my Jack-- is he my mother''s brother?"
30028	Is he also dead?"
30028	Is he here now?"
30028	Is n''t he a friend of yours, too?"
30028	Is n''t it glorious?"
30028	Is our boy still living?"
30028	It was easy to sing when love had come to another''s heart, but could she sing it now that he had come to her own?
30028	Jack had laughed heartily over Bull- dog''s description of the scene; now he asked:"What was the fight about?"
30028	Jack was the first to speak, as he asked in a low tone,"You have met the young men I spoke of the other evening?"
30028	Jim,"he continued in a lower tone,"what would you think two fellows like Houston and Van Dorn would want with that old chap, Jack?"
30028	Just what would that drama be, he wondered, would it be comedy or tragedy?
30028	Look at the majority of your''western stories,''as they are called; how much is there in them of scenery?
30028	Look here, old woman,"he added, in a lower tone, but which Lyle could hear,"have you been tellin''that girl anything?
30028	Looking at him rather archly, she asked:"Do you expect to remain out as late to- night as you did last night?"
30028	Lyle looked slightly surprised,"Very well,"she answered, in a tone of assent, adding,"You are his nephew, are you not?"
30028	Lyle rose, her eyes flashing with scorn and indignation, as she replied,"Why should Mr. Houston give them any information?
30028	Maverick?"
30028	Miss Gladden laughed;"Did you see any very rough people to- day at dinner?"
30028	Mister Houston, they call him?"
30028	Morgan shrugged his shoulders;"Have you seen old Rivers yet?"
30028	Mr. Rutherford glanced at the surrounding mountains;"Were you, too, trying to fathom the mystery of the eternal hills?"
30028	Oh, Leslie, tell me, is this true?"
30028	On the way to the boarding house, Van Dorn managed to walk with Houston, and exclaimed in a low tone:"Good heavens, Everard, what does this mean?
30028	Or would he be able, like Mr. Houston and Miss Gladden, to overlook her hateful and hated environment, and help her rise above it?
30028	Or would his keener insight, his superior perception discern her true position?
30028	Perhaps she is not your style, either?"
30028	Pretty time''twas when you come in, where''d you been?"
30028	Rutherford?"
30028	Seems strange, does n''t it?
30028	She had not seen it for months, or was it years?
30028	She shall be to us just what Edna was?"
30028	Some o''them eastern chaps comin''out here?"
30028	Still it haunted him; could there have been a real resemblance?
30028	The boss himself is n''t coming up, is he?"
30028	The parties send on money for development work, but do you suppose it is used in developing the mines?
30028	Then observing something peculiar in Houston''s manner as he closed the door, he asked:"What is it, my boy?"
30028	Then, as he remained silent, she queried:"You would be here, would n''t you, Jack, where I could find you?"
30028	There is a conspiracy somewhere; what do you know?
30028	Was it possible his secret was known?
30028	Was that the reason for his interest in her?
30028	Well, in the first place, what possessed you to leave us in the way you did?
30028	Well, what were her earliest recollections?
30028	What are the indications here?"
30028	What are you fellows going to do about it?"
30028	What are you masquerading around in this style for?"
30028	What could it have contained?
30028	What d''ye want?"
30028	What do you suppose that means?"
30028	What do you think of it?"
30028	What do you think, that she was stolen?"
30028	What has wrecked his life?"
30028	What in hell do you want?"
30028	What is the meaning of this?"
30028	What letter have you there?"
30028	What matter if her life had been cramped and restricted, since she was soon to rise above it into the life for which she had been created?
30028	What matter now, how mean or debasing her surroundings, since no taint from them could attach itself to her?
30028	What must you think of us?"
30028	What proof have you of this?"
30028	What under heaven is he doing out here?
30028	What''s this Haight''s been telling me about one of those fellows coming out here with some mining machinery?
30028	Whatever fuss there is you''ve kicked up yourself, with your own smartness, so what are you whining about?"
30028	When''s he comin''?"
30028	Where are the boys?"
30028	Where are you going?"
30028	Where did you get them, Lyle?
30028	Where is Morgan?"
30028	Where was it now?
30028	Where will you be?"
30028	Which one is it, that English dude?"
30028	Who is that?"
30028	Who''s going down to meet that fellow and his contraptions?"
30028	Why have I never thought of it before?
30028	Why, Everard,"he exclaimed, as a new thought occurred to him,"you certainly do not think this Edna''s child, do you?"
30028	Will you fix an evening for this conference of ours?"
30028	Winters?"
30028	Winters?"
30028	Would her narrow, restricted life seem so small and poor to him, with his superior attainments, that he would altogether ignore her?
30028	Would it exist in the mind of the elder brother also?
30028	Would n''t that be to your interest?"
30028	You are probably aware that the claim adjoins the Yankee Boy?"
30028	You are sure the affairs of the company are all right?"
30028	You are sure they said nothing of the mine, or that Mr. Houston gave them no information?"
30028	You deserve to be kicked like a dog; come out from there and fight, why do n''t you?"
30028	You do n''t mean to say you are the same?
30028	You had a mother once, you do not mean to traduce her memory?"
30028	You look surprised; did you consider Mr. Houston one of the''lilies''?"
30028	You remember Morton Rutherford?"
30028	You will of course accompany us?"
30028	You will telegraph at once for Mr. Cameron, will you not?"
30028	and had my parents brothers or sisters?"
30028	and say, do n''t you know how to spell out here?"
30028	and w''at in the deuce is he doing out''ere, among such a beastly lot?"
30028	and what class of men are they?"
30028	and what have you been doing since last Easter?
30028	and when did you get it?"
30028	and where are Helen and her husband?"
30028	and where?"
30028	and whin did I iver know ye to make frinds with ony of owld Blaisdell''s men befoor?"
30028	answered Houston scornfully;"Mr. Rivers,"he added, advancing toward that gentleman,"why do n''t you discharge me?
30028	answered Morgan,"if you did n''t want trouble, why did n''t you hold your tongue?
30028	any blasting to be done?"
30028	are you associated in business with that man?"
30028	are you going that distance as late as this?"
30028	are you keeping a watchful eye upon me?"
30028	asked Houston,"does he work in the mines?"
30028	asked Jack, in a tone of surprise,"Is he going to remain there?"
30028	asked Mr. Cameron quickly,"Who is she?"
30028	asked Rutherford,"there must be bad blood there, when and where would it make its appearance?"
30028	asked Van Dorn wonderingly, having more practical knowledge of mines than of miners,"Were the men frightened?"
30028	coming here among the mountains?"
30028	did the old man say?"
30028	do they have such women as those out here?"
30028	do you think you can try to scare me?
30028	do you wish to see me?"
30028	echoed Mr. Blaisdell,"Why not?
30028	exclaimed Haight, with a slight start, and wondering at Maverick''s appearance,"What do you know about him?"
30028	exclaimed Houston, in surprise,"Is it possible that my eastern friends are known to you, and that some one of them has written you?"
30028	exclaimed Houston,"what kind of an apparition is this?"
30028	exclaimed Jack, in surprise,"may I ask why?"
30028	exclaimed Lyle,"what would my life have been without you?"
30028	exclaimed Miss Gladden in surprise,"do you think Mr. Houston will fail after all?"
30028	exclaimed Mr. Blaisdell, who prided himself upon his youthful appearance,"why, how old do you take me to be?"
30028	exclaimed Mr. Cameron, hastening toward him,"are you sure you have escaped without serious injury?"
30028	exclaimed Mr. Cameron, in tones vibrating with suppressed emotion,"what is it?
30028	exclaimed Mr. Cameron,"are you sure you are correct?
30028	exclaimed Van Dorn,"my dear boy, do you think the world was made in one day?
30028	exclaimed the latter, catching a glimpse of his friend,"when did you come?
30028	exclaimed the latter, rubbing his hands,"this seems a little wintry, does n''t it?
30028	gasped Maverick, with a terrible oath, and growing fairly livid,"How''d ye get onto that?"
30028	has she already told you?"
30028	he asked, in a low, laughing tone,"Are you spell- bound?"
30028	he exclaimed a few moments later,"Van Dorn, what do you think of that for a mining proposition?"
30028	he exclaimed angrily,"what does this mean?
30028	he exclaimed in surprise, stopping before her, and looking into her earnest face, with a smile,"How should I be either?
30028	he exclaimed, drawing a long breath,"is n''t this refreshing after the stifling heat and dust of the journey out here?
30028	he exclaimed,"are you sure you are correct?"
30028	he exclaimed,"what metamorphosis is this?
30028	he inquired eagerly,"Is he down there with the boss?"
30028	how did you ever come out here?
30028	inquired Houston, with much interest,"to what do you refer?"
30028	inquired Lyle, a new fear dawning in her eyes,"do you suppose they were hired to take me?"
30028	interrupted Rutherford, brusquely,"What difference does it make?
30028	interrupted Van Dorn,"little Ned?
30028	is that you?"
30028	not until the closing scene of the last act?"
30028	or shall I reserve them until my return?"
30028	or that anybody put''em onto it?"
30028	or was it only a hallucination of his own?
30028	or what are you doing?"
30028	questioned Lyle,"How did you ever think of it?"
30028	said Maverick, rather stupidly,"what are ye drivin''at?"
30028	said Miss Gladden,"after such warm weather as this?"
30028	said Mr. Blaisdell, pausing in his walk up and down before the house, and extending his hand,"How''s the work progressing?"
30028	said Rutherford,"is he a Mormon?"
30028	said the first speaker,"who''s said anything''bout Jack and Mike?
30028	she asked quickly, in surprise,"did Jack tell you that it was I who asked him to help you?"
30028	she cried eagerly,"Did you say Guy Cameron?
30028	she cried, rising with outstretched arms, and clasping Lyle to her breast; then turning toward her husband, she asked:"What does this mean, Walter?
30028	she exclaimed,"why have you been hiding when you should have been helping me entertain the new guests?"
30028	she repeated,"I do n''t understand your meaning, why would you advise that?"
30028	she suddenly exclaimed,"have I made you suffer by my thoughtlessness?
30028	so it was my little girl after all, up to her old tricks; but, child, how came you out here, in such a place as this?"
30028	that we have lived on earth before, only amid different surroundings?"
30028	then are you going on farther west?"
30028	they exclaimed,"where is that?"
30028	well, I should say so; what about him?"
30028	what does the fool want of me?"
30028	what does this mean?
30028	what is he sneaking around here for?"
30028	what is this?"
30028	where is that thing anyway?"
30028	who asked you to say anything?
30028	who says so?
30028	whom do you mean?"
30028	why I should not shpake me own mither tongue?"
30028	will the company''smell a rat''anywhere?"
30028	yesterday?"
42119	A horse?
42119	A necklace?
42119	About a month, I think?
42119	About whom, then?
42119	Ah?
42119	All is explained to me now,he said:"look at that piece of bark: it is pressed and broken as if a rope had been round it, I think?"
42119	Am I a child, then?
42119	Am I not near you?
42119	Am I not?
42119	And I, too,the squatter said;"what of that?"
42119	And are you going to lead me far?
42119	And for you?
42119	And learned nothing?
42119	And my son has found one?
42119	And now?
42119	And the others?
42119	And the second?
42119	And those two reasons are?
42119	And when can I go to it, father?
42119	And where did he take the wounded man?
42119	And who is that friend?
42119	And who is this man?
42119	And why so, pray? 42119 And you have, you say, in your possession the means of destroying Fray Ambrosio?"
42119	And you, Ellen,he asked her;"will you not keep a few of these skins for yourself?"
42119	And you, dear child?
42119	And you?
42119	And-- he is not wounded?
42119	Answer, yes or no,the ranger said, roughly;"do you know where he is?"
42119	Are there mothers in the great island of the whites who do not love their child?
42119	Are we going to breakfast?
42119	Are we off?
42119	Are you going?
42119	Are you not afraid,Don Pablo answered,"of remaining thus alone in the desert, exposed to innumerable dangers, so far from all help?"
42119	Are you speaking seriously?
42119	Are you sure of the fact?
42119	As soon as it is night,Valentine replied;"but where is Curumilla?"
42119	At what hour will they come to fetch us?
42119	Be off, that is the safest; you can understand that the squatter is now on his guard?
42119	Bloodson?
42119	Bloodson?
42119	But how?
42119	But if that be the case, why did you not give me the papers sooner?
42119	But suppose it is treachery?
42119	But the other tribes are far more numerous than yours?
42119	But we shall not be able to stir down there?
42119	But what are you doing here?
42119	But what use is it to speak thus?
42119	But you, my child?
42119	But you?
42119	But your sister, girl, your sister, what became of her?
42119	By what chance are you hunting in the forest at this time of night?
42119	By what right do you make yourselves the instruments of divine justice?
42119	By whom?
42119	Can I thus leave a friend, before his body is placed in the ground?
42119	Can Koutonepi be an enemy of my father?
42119	Can anything have happened?
42119	Can they have discovered our track?
42119	Can we have found what we are looking for?
42119	Caspita, you are as clever as I am,the monk exclaimed, blushing the while;"what need have we to humbug one another?"
42119	Come, come, Niña,the monk remarked, tranquilly,"why lull us with foolish hopes?
42119	Come, come,the girl said with a laugh,"your memory is short, master: what, do you not remember White Gazelle?"
42119	Come, come,the latter continued,"this is far more amusing than I at first fancied; and how are you indispensable to me?"
42119	Come, lad,he said to Nathan,"are you ready?
42119	Come,he said in a gentle tone,"we can not stop here all night; can you walk?"
42119	Come,he said, in a softer key,"why should old friends quarrel?
42119	Did I not tell you it had eaten too much?
42119	Did I say Red Cedar?
42119	Did my brother speak with Koutonepi?
42119	Did not my father ask hospitality of the sachem?
42119	Did you fancy that I ran any danger?
42119	Did you not hear me?
42119	Did you not hear, then, what the man said to me?
42119	Did you not notice it before today, father?
42119	Do you also owe Fray Ambrosio a grudge?
42119	Do you believe it, señor?
42119	Do you consider our situation a bad one?
42119	Do you fancy I have not guessed it?
42119	Do you know any other appellation more correct than that?
42119	Do you know any other road, demon?
42119	Do you know the contents of these papers, then?
42119	Do you know what Heaven may reserve for you between this and then?
42119	Do you know where he is?
42119	Do you know where we are?
42119	Do you not eat with us, child?
42119	Do you perceive that the mountain is perpendicular here?
42119	Do you suppose, Excellency, that I have had that coffer in my possession for six months, without discovering its contents? 42119 Do you think so?"
42119	Do you think so?
42119	Do you think so?
42119	Do you think you are strong enough to undertake a journey of fifteen leagues?
42119	Do you think, then, child, I took the trouble to read it? 42119 Does Nathan take us for children,"she said,"that he tries so clumsily to deceive us?"
42119	Does Sunbeam love me?
42119	Does my brother think, then, that Unicorn is a child, who can not recognise an animal?
42119	Does my daughter love her child?
42119	Does my father know him?
42119	Does my father know it?
42119	Does my mother feel better?
42119	Does my son,the chief continued, in an insinuating voice,"know the palefaces who are entrenched on the hill of Mad Buffalo?"
42119	Does not my daughter feel grieved at being away from her husband?
42119	Does not my mother wish to hear the news I have to tell her?
42119	Does your father go away often?
42119	Don Valentine,the young man exclaimed, in grief,"would you render that angel responsible for the crimes of a villain?"
42119	Ellen, my child,he asked her, in an affectionate voice,"do you feel strong enough to follow us?"
42119	Ellen,he said to her kindly,"will you not sit down with us?"
42119	Farewell, Don Pablo, the storm is bursting; who knows if you will reach your friends''bivouac safe and sound?
42119	Father Seraphin?
42119	Father,he muttered,"would you teach me how to make the sign of the cross?"
42119	For long?
42119	For the last time, will you drink or not?
42119	For what good, father? 42119 For what good?"
42119	For what good?
42119	For what reason?
42119	From what the señora has just said to me, you fancy you have in your hands the means of destroying Red Cedar?
42119	Good news?
42119	Good, I am willing to believe him,the latter went on;"but when did the Comanches begin to take their squaws with them on the war path?"
42119	Good; will my brother soon be there?
42119	Hang it, what would you have? 42119 Has Red Cedar never spoken about him before you?"
42119	Has Spider pledged his word to my daughter?
42119	Has he done so long?
42119	Have you discovered anything?
42119	Have you guessed, then, what I was about to ask of you?
42119	Have you killed him?
42119	Have you lost your courage too, or discovered any suspicious trail?
42119	He has seen my son?
42119	He was really wounded?
42119	Help for whom, my poor girl?
42119	Here I am,she said, with a laugh;"how do you find me?"
42119	Here?
42119	Hospitality is granted even to an enemy in the desert; is my father ignorant of the customs of the prairie, that he asks it of me?
42119	How are you, brother?
42119	How are you?
42119	How do you know? 42119 How do you know?"
42119	How does that concern you, scoundrel?
42119	How is he called?
42119	How is it that my son, who seems to me a prudent warrior, should have halted here, when so near his chief?
42119	How is it,White Gazelle interrupted him,"that you have thus deserted Red Cedar?"
42119	How so, caballero?
42119	How so? 42119 How so?"
42119	How so?
42119	How so?
42119	How so?
42119	How so?
42119	How so?
42119	How so?
42119	How to help her?
42119	How to save poor Ellen? 42119 I am as convinced of that as you are; but into whose hands has it fallen?
42119	I do not believe it; however, what do I care? 42119 I do not claim any right,"he said quietly,"to control the acts of warriors for am I not a man of peace?"
42119	I do see,he replied, and addressing the American, he asked--"Is my brother a warrior in his nation?"
42119	I need not tell you, I fancy, the fate that awaits you?
42119	I see it-- what next?
42119	I should think so; in which direction are we going?
42119	I was right, father, was I not? 42119 If I did not, should I have come to you?"
42119	If my daughter were separated from her child, what Would she do?
42119	If this man was guilty, who tells that repentance has not come at this hour to wash the stains from his soul?
42119	In order that our pursuers may lose our trail?
42119	In what direction do we go?
42119	In what way?
42119	Is Spider a chief?
42119	Is it far from here?
42119	Is it for today, my child?
42119	Is it not my duty to do so, father?
42119	Is it not?
42119	Is it true?
42119	Is my brother a chief?
42119	Is my brother going down?
42119	Is my brother returning to his nation?
42119	Is my brother satisfied?
42119	Is my mother satisfied?
42119	Is my son on the hunting path?
42119	Is my son returning to his village?
42119	Is not my son with you, chief?
42119	Is that all that troubles you?
42119	Is that the señorita''s opinion also?
42119	Is the chief satisfied with his son?
42119	It is miraculous,Don Miguel at length exclaimed;"then you believe Red Cedar went off by that tree?"
42119	It is possible,Unicorn muttered;"but what is to be done in the darkness?"
42119	It is settled then; you swear that the man on whom the lot falls, will obey without hesitation, and accomplish his task honourably?
42119	It is true,the monk coolly replied,"what next?"
42119	Koutonepi is wise and intrepid,he said;"loyalty dwells in his heart, but he can not resist-- how to help him?
42119	Life is scarce opening for you; then how do you dare to judge the actions of a man?
42119	Listen,he said presently,"there is perhaps one way--""What is it?"
42119	Look there, warrior,she said, pointing a little to the left"does that look like a man marching?"
42119	Look,he said;"what do you see down there?"
42119	Must I go alone?
42119	My daughter is welcome,he said;"does she ask hospitality of the Apaches?"
42119	My father is travelling?
42119	My mother knows the contrary,she said;"why does she not place confidence in me?
42119	My paleface brother is welcome among his red friends,he said;"has my brother had a good hunt?"
42119	My sister wishes to save the palefaces, is it not so?
42119	My son is a warrior of the terrible queen of the prairies?
42119	No more of this,she went on;"we are going, you said, I think, father?
42119	No,he said,"it is not that, but something else; what I feel is not natural: my chest is oppressed, I am choking, what can be happening?"
42119	No,she answered, frankly,"what good would it do me?
42119	No; for two days, three at the most; is that too long?
42119	Nonsense, Don Miguel, how can you say when I have seen you engaged in a hand- to- hand fight with tigers?
42119	Nonsense,the girl said, with a laugh;"do you believe it?"
42119	Not all,the squatter answered;"did you not hear that accursed Valentine?"
42119	Nothing; how does it concern me?
42119	Now,she said,"not a word more: we understand one another, I think?"
42119	Of course you are aware that Red Cedar and the Trail- hunter had a fight?
42119	Off-- where to?
42119	Oh, Excellency, that is very simple; you do not know what has become of Red Cedar?
42119	Oh, oh,Red Cedar said, with a frown;"what is to be done in that case?"
42119	Oh,White Gazelle asked,"what is that?"
42119	Oh,he murmured,"who calls me thus?"
42119	Oh,the chief said,"what fortunate accident brings my father to my camp?"
42119	On my honour I do not think there is; but,he added, with a mocking accent,"why do you not roast the meat?
42119	Once again I ask, what is to be done?
42119	One hundred?
42119	Our bargain holds good?
42119	Panther is a wise chief; what can a man do with life when he grows a burden to others? 42119 Pardon you, why?
42119	Perhaps so,Valentine, who was reflecting, answered;"where is Red Cedar?"
42119	Perhaps you do, Excellency; and if I did not fear appearing impudent to you, I would even say--"What?
42119	Poor woman, what do you want here? 42119 Shall we soon arrive?"
42119	Since the period of which you speak, then, no sign, no information however slight, has reassured you as to the fate of him you mourn?
42119	Sit down, father,he said to him,"you are very hot; will you take some refreshment?"
42119	Sleep,the bandit said,"can I sleep?
42119	So long as anyone is here to hold the branch, of course it will remain bent; but when we are up and you remain alone, how will you follow us? 42119 Soon?"
42119	Soul of my life,he said,"why have you left the village?
42119	Still remaining on the trees?
42119	Suppose I did, what do you conclude from that?
42119	Suppose they spared your life, would you not reveal where your father, brother, and that excellent Fray Ambrosio are?
42119	Suppose we sleep here?
42119	Take it or leave it,the squatter went on;"do you prefer being captured?"
42119	Thanks, child,he said,"you are a good creature; where are we?"
42119	That is Curumilla''s signal,said Valentine;"what the deuce can he be up to?"
42119	That is better than sleeping, eh?
42119	That is possible,the monk answered impudently;"but if we have changed our parts, whose fault is it, pray, mine or yours?
42119	That is really strange,the squaw muttered and became serious;"but are you quite sure of what you assert?"
42119	That is true,Don Pablo remarked;"but what is to be done?"
42119	That is true,he exclaimed;"what was I thinking about?
42119	That is true,the Indian said, with a bow;"will my sister set out?"
42119	That is true,the chief went on;"what does my father desire?"
42119	That is true; but what is to be done?
42119	That is true; but you still have, I suppose, the desire to avenge yourself on Fray Ambrosio?
42119	That is true; it is easy for us, but how will you join us?
42119	That will do,Valentine said, as he turned his head away, not to let the emotion he felt in spite of himself, be noticed;"suppose we feed?
42119	The Master of Life protected me, in permitting me to arrive so opportunely; who is the chief about to die?
42119	The man is mad,he said, with a shrug of his shoulders, and, turning to his men, added--"where the deuce was your head when you brought him to me?"
42119	The sachem can only be the bearer of good news to me; what has he to tell me?
42119	The tiger, when attacked in its lair, turns on the hunters,the girl went on, without displaying any emotion;"why do you not follow their example?"
42119	Then why does he remain?
42119	Then you confess you are not an Indian sorcerer?
42119	Then you know where he is?
42119	Then your opinion is to grant the meeting?
42119	Then, he is coming?
42119	Then, why is he going away?
42119	Then,Don Miguel said, with a shudder,"you are resolved to make this mad attempt?"
42119	Then,Valentine continued, addressing the Indian chief,"I can entirely dispose of your young men?"
42119	Then,she continued,"you are about to fly-- fly forever?"
42119	Then,she continued,"you will let us fall into the hands of our enemies?"
42119	Then,she said,"we will draw nearer to the civilised frontier?"
42119	Then?
42119	They will be devoted to me?
42119	To what tribe does my son belong, then?
42119	True again; but you do not know the proverb, eh?
42119	Truly?
42119	Valentine,he said,"what are you about, my friend?"
42119	Very good,the girl exclaimed, with a smile;"then how will you manage that your vengeance does not slip from you?"
42119	Very good; that is what we will do; you see that enormous branch jutting out about thirty feet above our heads?
42119	Was it now, Excellency? 42119 Was she alone?"
42119	Was their great chief Unicorn with them?
42119	Well, chief, what is it?
42119	Well, do you not understand?
42119	Well, gossip,he said,"I suppose we are condemned to spend some time here?"
42119	Well, so am I; what is there so amazing in that?
42119	Well, then?
42119	Well, what does my brother think?
42119	Well, what then?
42119	Well,Don Miguel asked,"your opinion is that the bear--?"
42119	Well,Valentine said,"what is that?"
42119	Well,he said to them,"what do you think of that?"
42119	Well,he said to them,"you see it is finished; now we must continue our journey; are you ready?"
42119	Well,said Don Pablo, pursuing his idea;"what became of Ambrosio?"
42119	Well,said the latter with a smile,"do you fancy this a comfortable place for a gossip?"
42119	Well,she asked her father,"what are we doing here?
42119	Well,she exclaimed,"was it fancy?
42119	Well,the monk asked him,"how do you feel now?"
42119	Well;Valentine said to them,"shall we be off?"
42119	Well?
42119	Well?
42119	Well?
42119	Well?
42119	Well?
42119	Well?
42119	Well?
42119	Well?
42119	Well?
42119	Well?
42119	Well?
42119	Well?
42119	What I want, gossip? 42119 What about?"
42119	What accident has brought you here?
42119	What animal do you think we have to deal with?
42119	What are we to do now?
42119	What are we to do now?
42119	What are you about, girl?
42119	What are you about?
42119	What are you about?
42119	What are you about?
42119	What can I do? 42119 What can I say that my father does not know?"
42119	What can there be in common between us?
42119	What can those leaves teach you?
42119	What did he?
42119	What do I care for that scurvy monk?
42119	What do I care for that?
42119	What do I forget?
42119	What do I know? 42119 What do these words mean?"
42119	What do you desire?
42119	What do you fear?
42119	What do you mean, chief?
42119	What do you mean, father?
42119	What do you mean, my friend?
42119	What do you mean, uncle?
42119	What do you mean? 42119 What do you mean?
42119	What do you mean?
42119	What do you mean?
42119	What do you mean?
42119	What do you mean?
42119	What do you mean?
42119	What do you mean?
42119	What do you say, Valentine?
42119	What do you want here?
42119	What do you want to arrive at? 42119 What do you want, chief?"
42119	What do you want, my girl?
42119	What do you want?
42119	What does my brother say?
42119	What does my father desire?
42119	What does my sister say? 42119 What does that mean?"
42119	What does that prove?
42119	What does the people say?
42119	What good is it?
42119	What has happened, father? 42119 What have I to fear from these men, to whom I never did any harm?"
42119	What have I to fear-- am I not armed?
42119	What have you there, chief?
42119	What horsemen do you allude to, general I where do you see them?
42119	What is happening now?
42119	What is he going to do here? 42119 What is it, father?
42119	What is it, then, father?
42119	What is it, then?
42119	What is it?
42119	What is it?
42119	What is it?
42119	What is it?
42119	What is its nature?
42119	What is that?
42119	What is the matter, Valentine?
42119	What is the matter?
42119	What is there now?
42119	What is to be done, then?
42119	What is to be done?
42119	What is to be done?
42119	What is to be done?
42119	What is to be done?
42119	What is to be done?
42119	What is to be done?
42119	What is to be done?
42119	What is to be done?
42119	What is your business with me?
42119	What is your opinion?
42119	What is your plan?
42119	What makes you suppose it?
42119	What makes you suppose so?
42119	What makes you think so?
42119	What matter?
42119	What mean these words?
42119	What must she have endured?
42119	What of that?
42119	What other?
42119	What reply have you to this?
42119	What shall I do?
42119	What shall we do?
42119	What then?
42119	What to do with him?
42119	What use is experience?
42119	What use is it, dear child?
42119	What would I do?
42119	What you have to say to me must be very important?
42119	What''s the matter with you, and how did you come here?
42119	What''s the matter?
42119	What, across here?
42119	What, again?
42119	What, am I a prisoner, then?
42119	What, are you tired already, señor Padre?
42119	What, you do not understand?
42119	What,Red Cedar went on,"are you all silent?
42119	What? 42119 What?"
42119	What?
42119	What?
42119	What?
42119	When did you notice its disappearance?
42119	When shall we start?
42119	When?
42119	Where are you going to at that rate, my friend?
42119	Where are you going, then?
42119	Where are you taking me to, my son?
42119	Where are you?
42119	Where can we go at this advanced season of the year? 42119 Where could provisions be found in this fearful region?"
42119	Where do you propose going then?
42119	Where is Nathan?
42119	Where is he? 42119 Where is my father going?"
42119	Where to?
42119	While now?
42119	Who are the men about to join you in a few hours?
42119	Who are the persons who have charges against Red Cedar?
42119	Who are those who compel you to fly today?
42119	Who are you, then,he said,"who know me so well, and yet I do not remember ever having met you?"
42119	Who goes there?
42119	Who is that?
42119	Who knows, Niña, whether we are not destined to travel in company since I have met you?
42119	Who knows, madam? 42119 Who knows?"
42119	Who tells you that I wish to defend it?
42119	Who the deuce have we here?
42119	Who told you I was going, warrior?
42119	Whom can you be waiting for at this advanced hour?
42119	Whom did you allude to, then?
42119	Whom do you allude to?
42119	Whom do you mean? 42119 Why cheat ourselves with a wild hope, Don Pablo?
42119	Why deceive me, father?
42119	Why did you leave the village? 42119 Why did you seize me and bring me here?"
42119	Why do you ask this of me?
42119	Why do you not sleep, my child?
42119	Why false?
42119	Why feign longer? 42119 Why go down?"
42119	Why have you made us perch on this rock like squirrels?
42119	Why jest, chief?
42119	Why not? 42119 Why not?"
42119	Why not?
42119	Why should I, father? 42119 Why so?
42119	Why so?
42119	Why so?
42119	Why so?
42119	Why so?
42119	Why so?
42119	Why so?
42119	Why so?
42119	Why so?
42119	Why so?
42119	Why waste time in accusing me, and making this mockery of justice?
42119	Why, Caspita, what I say is very easy to understand; without going further, your father, who pledged his word never to desert us--"Well?
42119	Why, in misery, think of past joys?
42119	Why, you must be mad to annoy me so,he said furiously;"has anything fresh happened?"
42119	Why--?
42119	Will it quench the thirst that parches my throat?
42119	Will my brother listen to the words of a friend?
42119	Will my brother remain some days with his red friends?
42119	Will my father see?
42119	Will you answer yes or no?
42119	Will you have it?
42119	Will you have my honest opinion?
42119	Will you leave us, already, father?
42119	Will you undertake it in my stead?
42119	Would you assert that it is not true?
42119	Would you hope to succeed in what men like myself and my friends, and aided by numerous warriors, could not achieve?
42119	Would you make her your wife, then?
42119	Yes, it is I,the bandit went on;"does that astonish you, Niña?
42119	Yes, what then?
42119	Yes, what would you have? 42119 Yes,"she murmured,"but will he believe me?"
42119	Yes-- do you know him?
42119	Yes; but in what way shall we consult chance?
42119	Yes; but why all these questions?
42119	Yes; you see that this dead tree seems, as it were, welded to the mountain?
42119	You accept, then?
42119	You alarm me, my friend; has anything new occurred?
42119	You are an ass,Red Cedar answered with contempt;"do I not risk as much as you?
42119	You are not deceiving me?
42119	You are not lying?
42119	You bear a grudge against Red Cedar, I think?
42119	You believe so too, father? 42119 You desire it?"
42119	You doubtless remember,Bloodson went on,"the compact you made when I admitted you into my cuadrilla?"
42119	You have a horse?
42119	You hear?
42119	You know him as well as I do, señorita?
42119	You know the villain killed his daughter?
42119	You love me, then?
42119	You love the squatter''s daughter?
42119	You owe this man a heavy grudge?
42119	You remember you expressed a desire some time back to live in the prairie?
42119	You still wish me to go?
42119	You swear it?
42119	You think so?
42119	You will do that?
42119	You wish to know the names of the assassins of my father, you say, uncle?
42119	You wish to save her?
42119	You,he said;"did you write to ask me here?"
42119	You?
42119	Your great warrior has seen my son?
42119	Your word is enough; but may I at least know what you intend doing?
42119	_ Caramba_, you are not mistaken?
42119	A frightful thought then occupied the young man; suppose his friends, despairing of saving him, had abandoned him?
42119	Am I mistaken, or has it really formed its nest beneath the thick foliage of the oaks or pines in this valley?"
42119	Am I not a friend of the Apaches?"
42119	Am I not born to sorrow?"
42119	And are you not afraid to hurt your first- born son?"
42119	And can you tell me the name of the other?"
42119	And do you know what causes that dust?"
42119	And in what direction shall we proceed?"
42119	And when was this extraordinary change effected?"
42119	And why did you not carry out that idea, scoundrel?"
42119	And yet, shall I confess it to you?
42119	Are not the buffaloes sufficiently numerous?
42119	Are you afraid lest your enemies should escape?"
42119	Are you convinced?
42119	Are you speaking seriously, gossip?"
42119	Are you still angry with Red Cedar?"
42119	As you see, I display no self- esteem; but what would you have?
42119	Black Cat no longer counts the scalps he has taken from his enemies-- what is the reason that renders him sad?"
42119	But how has he escaped?
42119	But in what state is the sign, chief?"
42119	But what can I do alone?"
42119	But what were these reasons?
42119	But, is it an interesting sport?
42119	Can He exist?"
42119	Can I be mistaken?
42119	Can the redskins be beginning the attack already?"
42119	Can we, without cruelty, compel her to follow us on the trail of the villain we are pursuing?
42119	Come, chief, are you ready?"
42119	Come, reflect, gossip; had not this priest an insult to avenge?"
42119	Did I not warn you that we were surrounded?
42119	Did he meet the great paleface hunter?"
42119	Did he not share with me as a brother the firewater of his gourd, to give me strength to sit my horse, and rejoin the warriors Of my tribe?
42119	Did not the pale chief enable me to escape the death that awaited me in the Comanche village?
42119	Did you not say we had not a moment to lose?"
42119	Do I find, you again after so many years?"
42119	Do you ever forgive anybody?
42119	Do you fancy I should desert my old companion so?"
42119	Do you fancy that we have not known your retreat for a long time?
42119	Do you see them?"
42119	Do you think this the proper moment for jesting?"
42119	Do you understand me now?"
42119	Do you want any more?
42119	Do you wish to inflict fresh tortures on me?"
42119	Does He exist?"
42119	Does a night in the woods frighten you so, when your whole life has been spent in the desert?
42119	Does he bring me the number of young men I asked of the nation?"
42119	Does my son hope to deceive a great medicine man, that he utters such word before him?"
42119	Does that suit you?"
42119	Does that suit you?"
42119	Don Miguel exclaimed;"What, at this elevation?"
42119	Don Miguel objected;"but how shall we reach the platform to which you allude?"
42119	Don Pablo asked;"Have you seen anything suspicious?"
42119	For what reason?
42119	Fray Ambrosio muttered;"why not go all together?
42119	General Ibañez suddenly asked;"Why do you stop?"
42119	Hang me, as no one has yet told you so, I feel very much inclined to do so; what''s your opinion, eh?"
42119	Has my brother met the young men of his tribe?"
42119	Has not this life been ever mine?"
42119	Has she ever found me unkind?"
42119	Has the Wacondah troubled her mind?"
42119	Have I not guessed aright, gossip?"
42119	Have I suffered enough?
42119	Have we found the tiger''s lair?"
42119	Have you among them any in whom you can trust?"
42119	Have you forgotten France entirely, Valentine?"
42119	Have you the courage to try it?"
42119	Have you these proofs?
42119	He has come here on a particular mission?"
42119	He therefore went up to her, and bowing courteously, said in a gentle voice--"Why remain thus aloof?
42119	How can they be saved?"
42119	How could he suppose that two men of such different character and position should be working together?
42119	How could you commit so unworthy an action?"
42119	How did she come hither?
42119	How many warriors have you down there?"
42119	I can count on you, my lads, and on you, Fray Ambrosio?"
42119	I presume you never had a thought of making Ellen your mistress?"
42119	I suppose you are anxious to be off?"
42119	If our friend wished to confess, was not I enough?
42119	In a word, surrender your own will for a few hours only to follow me?
42119	Is Sunbeam a mother?"
42119	Is it so or not?"
42119	Is not the prairie large enough and wide enough for us?
42119	Is that agreed, eh?"
42119	Is the measure now full?
42119	Is your place among the warriors?
42119	It was evidently one of the missionary''s messengers; but what news did he bring?
42119	My poor child, why insist on leading this life of danger and fatigue?
42119	My son is positively sure that Koutonepi is entrenched on the top of the hill?"
42119	Nathan remarked,"to roast this meat, we must enlarge our fire; and how about our pursuers?"
42119	Nathan replied;"Does he take me for a child, or does he fancy I am disposed to put up with his insults?
42119	Nathan sharply objected,"Are you mad, or did you pretend to save my life, merely to deliver me to our enemies with your own hands?"
42119	No, not one of you, I feel convinced, would give me that advice; but what is to be done?
42119	Of what can she think but her son?"
42119	Of what use should I be in a town among people whose habits or characters I should not understand?"
42119	Oh, why am I but a woman, and can do nothing for them?
42119	Or was it a farce played by this perverse man to deceive his saviour, and by these means escape the numerous enemies that sought his death?
42119	Ought the wife of a chief to join him on the war trail without permission?"
42119	Our retreat is discovered, we must fly; that is what you wish to tell me?"
42119	Red Cedar has come here, as this mark proves; but you will ask me why he did so?
42119	Red Cedar said, suddenly making up his mind,"Why should I make a secret of what concerns you as much as myself?"
42119	Reflect ere replying; my friends, are you firmly resolved to follow me, and obey me in all I order, without hesitation or murmuring?
42119	Rise, father, and set Nathan free; and you, brother, give me your knife-- should such a contest take place between father and son?"
42119	Ruin me, you mean,"Don Pablo continued, with a smile of contempt;"do you fancy me so foolish?
42119	Since I have succeeded in deceiving this man, why should I not do the same with the others?"
42119	Since daybreak he has left us to go-- the deuce alone knows where?
42119	Speak then, Valentine: what is to be done?
42119	Still, you will permit me to remark that it is an extraordinary thing your father has not yet returned?"
42119	Suddenly a rough hand was laid on her shoulder, and a mocking voice muttered in her ear:--"Hilloh, Niña, what are you doing so far from the camp?
42119	That is my second reason, Don Miguel; what do you think of it?"
42119	That is not asking too much I suppose?"
42119	That''s a strange question: do n''t you know it as well as I do?"
42119	The maiden was only half duped by this falsehood: but how did it concern her?
42119	Then, in your opinion, there is no hope?"
42119	There is not a man on the prairies who has not a terrible account to settle with that vile bandit?"
42119	There was a long silence, which Sunbeam at last broke by saying, with a meaning smile--"My mother had something to ask of me?"
42119	Thus, it is as plain to you as it is to me, that Red Cedar came here?"
42119	To what occupier do you allude?"
42119	Unicorn said with astonishment,"What is my brother doing there?"
42119	Unicorn said, to whom White Gazelle had whispered,"What was Red Cedar''s son doing in the camp of the Comanches?"
42119	Valentine answered;"Who knows whether this scrap of paper may not contain the salvation of all of us?"
42119	Valentine asked, with a smile:"Can it be food?"
42119	Valentine said in surprise;"What to do?"
42119	Valentine said,"Can the bear be at any tricks?"
42119	Was it jealousy or base envy?
42119	Was the evil angel defeated?
42119	Well, chief, to what does that sign belong?"
42119	Well, what have you to say to us?"
42119	What do I care for life if I may never see you again?
42119	What does my mother wish to do?"
42119	What had he to fear in being killed?
42119	What happened then?
42119	What has happened?
42119	What is that?"
42119	What is there dearer to a mother than her child?"
42119	What is your son''s name?"
42119	What more?
42119	What name will you give to your conduct save that of a traitor?"
42119	What shall I do to reach her?"
42119	What the deuce sets you roaming about at this time of night, at the risk of having an unpleasant encounter?"
42119	What warrior could contend with him on the prairie?"
42119	What will become of her, if you die?"
42119	What would you have?
42119	What, Nathan, would you strike your father?
42119	What, is my brother one of the Ministers of the Great Turtle?"
42119	When all was ready, the sachem placed himself by the head of the corpse, and addressing the company, said:"Why do you weep?
42119	Where am I?"
42119	Where can he have fled?"
42119	Where is he going?
42119	Where shall I find you again?"
42119	Where the deuce do you come from?
42119	Which way do you think my son will come, father?
42119	Who can hope to escape discovery in the desert?
42119	Who doubts it, my dear general?"
42119	Who knows what awaits them on turning from the road they are now following so peacefully?"
42119	Who knows?
42119	Who knows?"
42119	Who will sacrifice himself to save his comrades?"
42119	Whose turn next?"
42119	Why do we not start?
42119	Why do you lament?
42119	Why do you weep?
42119	Why have you come in such haste?"
42119	Why should we not be friends?
42119	Will not my mother receive the necklace her son sends her?"
42119	Will not the sun soon set?
42119	Will you play with me again?"
42119	With such signs, I ask my sister can a man be deceived?"
42119	Yes, you are very pretty, Niña, do n''t you know it?
42119	You are quite convinced of this, I fancy?"
42119	You do not love me?"
42119	You know how my friend Don Miguel Zarate suffered through Red Cedar, I think?"
42119	You know that as well as I do, I think?"
42119	You must fancy yourself very near death to be so frightened?
42119	You must think me very foolish to tell you all this, father: but of what can a mother speak, save of her son?
42119	You understand me, I think?"
42119	You will consent then, father, to accompany us to the frontier?"
42119	Your life is in my hands-- what do you say?
42119	_ Viva Dios!_ you were giving me a fine character in my absence; is that the way in which you understand Christian charity, gossip?
42119	he asked on seeing her,"What news?"
42119	he continued, tenderly;"What do you remember of your youthful years?"
42119	he exclaimed anxiously,"Can she be dead?
42119	he exclaimed,"What is left me now?"
42119	he exclaimed;"Can it be possible?
42119	he muttered in astonishment;"What serious reason can bring him here, at such an hour and in such haste?"
42119	he said in a hollow voice,"Is that you, old squatter?
42119	he said, speaking to himself in a low hoarse voice;"Can I be approaching the consummation of the object to which I have devoted my life?"
42119	he said, with horror,"Can you have such thoughts?
42119	he shouted;"How does it concern you whether your sister eats or not?
42119	it is really you?
42119	said Red Cedar,"That is a lucky find; where did you steal that, lad?"
42119	said Stanapat,"And what has my son seen which his brothers did not discover?"
42119	said the hunter, as his face brightened;"how many warriors have you?"
42119	said the sachem;"my son is not mistaken; he has recognised the trail?"
42119	she asked in a trembling voice;"Are you going to leave me?"
42119	she asked;"My child is myself, is it not my flesh and blood?
42119	she continued, with a sigh,"Am I not your daughter, and must undergo the consequences of the life you have chosen?"
42119	she continued,"Instead of, then yielding to despair, why not pray, brothers?
42119	she exclaimed,"what means that word on your lips?"
42119	she repeated, in surprise, not understanding what the woman meant;"What am I to do with it?"
42119	she said"What can I feel afraid of?"
42119	she said, hurriedly, as she gave her a piercing glance;"has my son arrived?"
42119	she said, shaking her head mournfully;"Why should I tell you of these things-- you, above all, who are my direst enemy?
42119	she said, with an accent of soft reproach,"We should be so happy there; why not return at once?"
42119	she said,"What charge have you to bring against that worthy man?"
42119	she said,"What means this?"
42119	that is not very probable; your father and brother are in the vicinity through the same accident, I suppose?"
42119	the Frenchman said, with astonishment;"Are you not here, like all the members of your nation, to seize my friends and myself?"
42119	the Indian said in surprise;"Where does my father come from, then?"
42119	the chief said;"Can that be true?
42119	the first speaker interposed,"What is that you are saying?
42119	the gambusino said,"Canelo, where is my rifle?
42119	the general objected;"Do you think they are coming in this direction?"
42119	the girl exclaimed, as she writhed her hands in despair,"Am I not sufficiently punished, Don, Pablo?
42119	the hunter asked in astonishment;"is Red Cedar your enemy?"
42119	the monk exclaimed gleefully,"How did you discover this hiding place?"
42119	the monk remarked with a growl;"Is this young woman so sacred, that you should fire up at the slightest word addressed to her?"
42119	the monk said, as he peered down into the hole, which was dark as pitch;"Have we got to go down there?"
42119	the monk whispered Sutter,"did I not tell you the demon was on our side?
42119	the old lady said, carelessly, seeing that Sunbeam stopped;"and where is the chief at this moment?"
42119	the other muttered, with a movement of terror;"But what is happening fresh?"
42119	the ranchero asked quickly;"we are comfortable together, then why should we separate?"
42119	the squatter suddenly asked;"has he fallen off?"
42119	the squatter yelled, as he bounded like a panther and seized Fray Ambrosio by the arm,"What did you say, monk?"
42119	the young man shouted, as he uncocked his pistols, and returned them to his holsters;"What the deuce are you doing here, Don Valentine?"
42119	what does my brother suppose, then?"
