34063	Smoky being given to much joking, I asked,"What have we got?"
34063	Smoky laughed at my idea and said that bees always flew in a straight line-- does not everybody say as straight as a bee- line?
34063	Smoky was amazed and said,"You blooming simpleton, what is the matter with you?"
34063	The man drew his gun to his shoulder in the act of shooting and I exclaimed,"My God, man, you are not going to shoot that deer, are you?"

34063	Well what do you think you will do about it?
34063	Well, boys, I suppose you are well pleased with the bounty law in this state,( Pennsylvania) as it now is?
34063	What is it?
34063	When I saw that Smoky would not talk, I said,"Well, Smoky, did you find the other bee tree?"
34063	When this was done, Bill looked it over and said,"By gum, do n''t it look like living?"

32236	de snow, she go slide, slide, lak''de-- de gran''rapeed, see?"
32236	he asked thickly, fumbling with both hands,"what is done to my eyes?
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?"
28574	''Was you in the original Floradora Sextette?
28574	About how many marten do you think we ought to catch?
28574	After all that work setting them? 28574 Ai n''t they country enough to see here in Alaska?
28574	All right, lad,called the factor,"but what are ye goin''to do?
28574	And do you think it''s still there on the_ cache_--the fox skin and the collar?
28574	And where would the trapper have been and that woman and little baby? 28574 And why have n''t you got a fire?"
28574	And you ate all your grub raw?
28574	And, Waseche, where do you think''Merican Joe came from?
28574	Are they there now?
28574	Are you crazy?
28574	Are you hurt?
28574	Are you lying to me? 28574 Are you sure?"
28574	As long as you stay as stiff as that I could pick you up and carry you to the tent, but suppose you change your mind and think you''re a buzz saw? 28574 Beyond the big mountains?"
28574	Beyond the big river-- the Mackenzie?
28574	Big difference in men-- even in_ chechakos_, ai n''t there, Joe?
28574	But did n''t you tell McTavish about the fox you shot, and the one you trapped with the collar on?
28574	But suppose there is a lynx in one of those snares?
28574	But tell us how you got in, and why you ca n''t get out the same way?
28574	But the gold?
28574	But the one you trapped-- how do you know that it was the same one? 28574 But what in the name of Pat Feeney is he doin''over here?
28574	But where did you get the dog-- or wolf-- or whatever Leloo is?
28574	But, how about breakfast?
28574	But, how about the Kuskokwim?
28574	But, why did he bring the other sled? 28574 But, why would n''t it be just as easy to figure it in dollars?"
28574	But, ye''re goin''to hurry over there, ai n''t you? 28574 But-- what is it-- out there?
28574	By the way, did you tell anyone your name around here?
28574	D''ye know him?
28574	Did Dutch Henry an''Black Jack Demeree tell yo''that, too?
28574	Did dey talk?
28574	Did he have any fits? 28574 Did the other one get away?"
28574	Did you bring the mail over?
28574	Did your partner have any dogs with him?
28574	Do n''t count your chickens before they''re hatched, eh?
28574	Do n''t you keep any ahead, nor any kindlings?
28574	Do you think there''s a good chance to prospect over there? 28574 Do?"
28574	Five hundred dollars?
28574	Go out where?
28574	Go out?
28574	Gold?
28574	Good skin,assented''Merican Joe,"Wan''ver''big beaver...""How much?"
28574	Had n''t we better put a line on Leloo?
28574	Had n''t we better wait till tomorrow and bring the heavy rifle?
28574	Have you?
28574	Hello,said Connie,"what do you want?"
28574	Here, where you going?
28574	Hey, where you goin''?
28574	How about bringing in a stamp mill and turn your hill into a regular outfit?
28574	How can you tell?
28574	How did it happen?
28574	How did you get in?
28574	How far is it from here?
28574	How far?
28574	How he git in dere?
28574	How long has he been sick?
28574	How long will it take you to make Fort Norman travelling light?
28574	How long you be''n here?
28574	How many of you are there?
28574	How many traps are we going to put out?
28574	How much debt do they get?
28574	How you lak him, eh?
28574	I wonder what his heart is?
28574	If we go roun''de hill an''ain''fin''no track, den we hit for de cabin?
28574	Is he yours?
28574	Is it a good skin?
28574	Is it snowin''?
28574	Is it wolf, or dog, or part wolf and a part dog?
28574	Is n''t there any other opening to the cave?
28574	Is that good for bait?
28574	It''s about time we went down and looked at those fox traps, is n''t it?
28574	Know him, do you? 28574 Look here, who do you think you''re talking to?
28574	Look, what''s that?
28574	Me an''Leloo, we ain''need no gun, do we, Leloo?
28574	Naw, I ai n''t hurt but ca n''t you pick out no smoother trail? 28574 Never can tell what you''re going to get?"
28574	No, it would spoil the cave an''besides where would me and the foxes go? 28574 Now what do we do with''em?"
28574	Now who''s growling about the loss of a skin? 28574 Oh, jest like that, eh?
28574	Opening to the cave? 28574 Or is he a dog?
28574	Sir?
28574	Snow fer a week?
28574	So you think I''m still with the Mounted do you?
28574	Still playin''a lone hand, eh? 28574 Still up to your old crookedness, are you?
28574	Suppose we do catch this one?
28574	Talk English?
28574	That do n''t look much like we''d finish that fellow, does it? 28574 That''s funny,"whispered Connie"Why did n''t he grab that fox?"
28574	The next question,he muttered to himself,"is where do I go from here?
28574	Thought you''d kind of slip one over on me, did you?
28574	W''at you care''bout dat? 28574 W''at you care''bout de man?
28574	W''at you mean-- chicken hatch?
28574	W''at you mean-- de bottom of de fox- hole?
28574	W''at you t''ink''bout Leloo, now?
28574	W''at you t''ink''bout dat?
28574	W''en you go?
28574	Want anything to eat?
28574	Was it a white man?
28574	Was it canned milk? 28574 Well, it paid, did n''t it?"
28574	Well, now it''s come, what yo''goin''to do with it?
28574	Well, son, what is it?
28574	Well, what do you think of that?
28574	Well, what in thunder would anyone want to_ cache_ that stuff''way out here for? 28574 Were you goin''?"
28574	What I want is the dope on this Rainy-- how did he come to swipe the kid''s milk? 28574 What are we going to do when we finish up this trap line?"
28574	What are ye doin''back here-- you? 28574 What are you doing that for?"
28574	What are you packing those heads for?
28574	What d''you mean-- learn? 28574 What did McTavish make of it?"
28574	What did he do it for?
28574	What did he send me alone for? 28574 What do you leave the black fox skins out there for, they''re worth a lot?"
28574	What do you make of it?
28574	What do you mean by a lot?
28574	What do you mean by a skin?
28574	What do you mean-- finish him?
28574	What do you mean? 28574 What do you mean?"
28574	What if I have?
28574	What in thunder are you doing?
28574	What in thunder is the meaning of this? 28574 What is it?"
28574	What is the name of that lake?
28574	What kind of a collar?
28574	What kind of bait? 28574 What marten?
28574	What then?
28574	What was I to do? 28574 What will we do with him?"
28574	What would my dad have done? 28574 What''s on yo''mind?
28574	What''s that?
28574	What''s the matter with it?
28574	What''s the matter with it?
28574	What''s the matter with you?
28574	What''s the matter with you?
28574	What''s the matter, son, bad news?
28574	What''s what?
28574	What''s your name--_kahta mika nem_?
28574	What-- pancakes?
28574	What-- what year is it?
28574	Where did you come from? 28574 Where did you get him?
28574	Where did you trap him? 28574 Where does the bait go?"
28574	Where is he?
28574	Where is your partner?
28574	Where is your window?
28574	Where would_ you_ have been if I did n''t?
28574	Where you headin''for?
28574	Where''s the ax?
28574	Where''s your firewood?
28574	Who be you, an''what d''ye want? 28574 Who giv''um den?"
28574	Who is this party, an''what''s he doin''over in that country himself?
28574	Who says so?
28574	Who''re you?
28574	Who''s going along?
28574	Whur you goin''?
28574	Whur''s my marten?
28574	Why ca n''t we take a few fox traps with us? 28574 Why do n''t he come?"
28574	Why do n''t they go after caribou?
28574	Why do n''t you fasten the chains to the big log, instead of to those light clogs?
28574	Why do n''t you rip him up the belly like you did the bear?
28574	Why then do we follow this man''s trail? 28574 Why''s that?"
28574	Why, no, sir----"No what?
28574	Why, you''re going to get a fox, if you''re lucky, ai n''t you?
28574	Why?
28574	Why?
28574	Will you sell Leloo?
28574	Wo n''t there be an other one along in a day or two, so we''ll have to do it all over again?
28574	Yes, Mr. Demeree----"You mean Black Jack?
28574	Yes, and what if we run on to another one of your little black bears that do n''t like to fight? 28574 Yes, are ye goin''to sell out, or fight''em?"
28574	Yes,agreed Connie,"but how about using paper money?"
28574	You do n''t believe there''s any gold there?
28574	You have seen him, too-- the fox that yells?
28574	You knew of that-- of my threats?
28574	You looking for_ hooch_, too?
28574	You meaning trading with the Indians-- free trading?
28574	You say you''ve been over east of the Mackenzie; is there gold over there?
28574	You sure git back, pret''queek?
28574	You''d run him down in five minutes-- but when you did-- what then?
28574	You''ve got to learn a lot, have n''t you?
28574	_ Iktah mika tika?_But still the man did not answer so the boy turned him over to''Merican Joe who tried out several dialects and gave it up.
28574	_ Know him!_ Know him, did you say? 28574 _ Kumtux Boston man nem James Dean?_"The Indian fidgeted uneasily, and glanced nervously, first toward one window and then the other.
28574	_ Morgan_, did you say? 28574 A pack of double the size was lashed to the sled, and the boy turned to''Merican Joe with a grin:Decide to take a chance?"
28574	Ai n''t I eighty?"
28574	Ai n''t you never comin''?
28574	Aloud, he asked innocently:"What''s the matter with the free traders?"
28574	An'', say, do n''t you want to buy some moose meat?
28574	An''did n''t he bring in four of the orneriest cusses that ever lived when they busted the Hart River_ cache_?
28574	An''did n''t he fetch in Notorious Bishop, whilst all the rest of you was tearin''out the bone out in the hills a- huntin''him?"
28574	An''do n''t ye ken ye''re two weeks ahead of time for the tradin''?"
28574	An''how comes it you''re trappin''way over here?
28574	An''what you doin''trailin''this time o''night, anyway?"
28574	An''where is the lad that was with ye?
28574	An''you, Pierre Bonnet Rouge, where is the rest of your band?
28574	And how did you come to be out of grub?"
28574	And how does he catch them?
28574	And how does it come there are so many of them and they are so easy to trap?"
28574	And if you hang back or quit, I''m going to wind this walrus hide whip around you till I cut you in strips-- do you get it?"
28574	And suppose we found a lynx in one of those snares?"
28574	And the foxes that wore the collars?"
28574	And they obey us-- why?
28574	And what had happened to the wolf that lay dead in the snow?
28574	And what if we should see a caribou?
28574	And where are you are going?
28574	And where do we get it?"
28574	And where is he heading for?
28574	And why did he stand there sniffing the air?
28574	And, you''ll sure go with me?
28574	Another opening?
28574	Are you crazy?"
28574	Are you going with me?"
28574	At the hole that goes under the rocks?"
28574	But what are threats between brothers?
28574	But what can he do now?
28574	But, son-- what''s the matter?
28574	But, what in time do yo''want of him?
28574	But,"she leaped to her feet and regarded Connie with a tense, eager look,"can it be that you are a doctor?"
28574	Connie glanced at the big officer curiously:"Do you know who the other one was?"
28574	D''ye mind I told ye I''d heard they was a free trader over in the Coppermine country?
28574	D''you think I''m bluffin''?
28574	Dan McKeever''ll be wantin''to know, when he comes along?"
28574	Did he run up a high fever?"
28574	Did he vomit?
28574	Did n''t I tell you he''d out- guess''em?
28574	Did n''t I tell you, Mac?
28574	Did n''t he round up Bill Cosgrieve an''his Cameron Creek gang?
28574	Did n''t the kid serve a year with me over in B Division?
28574	Did n''t you see him lay holt of your wolf- dog?"
28574	Did you an''Waseche Bill go broke?
28574	Did you not see the plague flag?
28574	Did you save the collars?
28574	Do n''t you know that you ai n''t only got a few hours to live-- mebbe only a few minutes?"
28574	Do n''t you never feel a hankerin''to be back in the service?
28574	Do n''t you remember the other_ tamahnawus_--that turned out to be a man in a moose hide?
28574	Do you expect me to sit here and believe any such rot as that?
28574	Do you hear?
28574	Drawn by Frank E. Schoonover]"Was drounded when he tried to shoot them Pelly Rapids about three jumps ahead of the police boat, was he?
28574	Getting rid of Ton- Kan gets the odds down to two to one against me, but what will I do?
28574	Glancing into the pale face, he asked abruptly:"Sick-- lunger?"
28574	Go find him, ca n''t you?
28574	Had the great brute understood that Connie and the Indian were at outs and had he struck out on the trail to settle the matter in his own way?
28574	Have you got any more of''em?"
28574	How about the free trader that wo n''t handle liquor?"
28574	How about them?"
28574	How could he possibly have answered as soon as that?"
28574	How he git t''rough de ice an''sit on de snow, eh?''
28574	How kin I?
28574	How long is your trap line, and where does it run?"
28574	How many lynx are we going to get?"
28574	How you goin''to cut firewood without you hold it with yer foot?"
28574	I want you to tell me, though, what became of James Dean?
28574	I wonder what became of him?"
28574	I wonder who built that_ cache_?"
28574	If dat is rope she goin''out pret''queek, ain''it?
28574	If dey got mooch-- w''at you call_ tenas- man_?"
28574	Is he fool enough to think I ai n''t a- goin''to bump him off?
28574	Is he mixed up in this?"
28574	Is he workin''with a pardner, that he expects''ll git here''fore mornin'', or what?
28574	It seemed incredible that the brute had caught his scent against the wind, and yet, if not, why had he halted so suddenly?
28574	Me-- I''m a- goin''to set right here an''see that yer figgerin''do n''t''mount to nothin''--see?"
28574	Mostly, when you get there you''re disappointed-- but suppose you are?
28574	Now, what about this Rainy person that stole the little kid''s milk?"
28574	Oh, he ca n''t get in here, can he?"
28574	Or Dan McKeever?
28574	Or any of the boys?
28574	Or be you goin''to leave me here''cause I burnt them pancakes?"
28574	Or whether the chemist uses peroxide of magentum, or sweet spirits of rawhide, so he gits the gold?
28574	Or, suppose the riverman very conveniently dropped the piece into the water where he could recover it again?
28574	Pierre Bonnet Rouge lapsed into silence, and at length Connie asked:"But the_ cache_?
28574	Say,''w''at you Injun goin''do?''
28574	She ca n''t mak''de big fire?''
28574	Suppose one of these pieces were dropped overboard by one of the none too careful half- breed rivermen?
28574	Suppose we were compelled to ship silver dollars back and forth between here and Edmonton?
28574	Surely he would know enough to go down hill to the creek, and follow it to the river, would n''t he?"
28574	Tell me quick, son-- what''s the matter?"
28574	Tell me, did not the good God tell you to come to me-- to save the little baby''s life?"
28574	Tell me, is dere any God?"
28574	That sound came from that high hill, did n''t it?"
28574	The man shuddered:"It''s done by this time, an''--why do n''t he come?
28574	Their attitude in regard to the troubles of others was the attitude of''Merican Joe when he had shrugged and asked,"W''at you care?"
28574	Then, where''d we be?
28574	Think you I would accept pay from my own brother?"
28574	Thought we would n''t know Constable Morgan, of the Mounted, did you?
28574	Thought you could fool us, did you, with yer lies about trappin''?
28574	Thought you was some stuff, did n''t you?"
28574	W''at dat mak''you mad som''wan sell Injun de_ hooch_?"
28574	W''at you care you call um cat-- dog-- pig?
28574	W''at you t''ink I''m keep''em out on de_ cache_ for?
28574	W''ere you t''ink de stick go w''at we fix on de snare?"
28574	Was not René a great boaster?
28574	Was you born in servitude?"
28574	Waseche appeared interested:"An''did they say he was as big as a cabin an''a ruff on him like the mainsail of a whaler?"
28574	Waseche continued to glare as the newcomer addressed him:"Is this Mr. Antrim?
28574	We will suppose that the beaver are becoming scarce around here; what do we do?
28574	Well, it got you at last, did n''t it?
28574	What did I throw in with him fer?
28574	What does the free trader care?
28574	What else could it be?"
28574	What law have you broken?"
28574	What makes you think it''s smallpox?"
28574	What put it in your head to trap on the Coppermine?"
28574	What was in that dark patch of brush?
28574	What would Waseche do?
28574	What would any men be doing up here?"
28574	What would he have to charge for them?
28574	What''re you standin''there fer?"
28574	What''s the formation?"
28574	What''s the matter with that?
28574	What''s the matter with you anyhow?"
28574	What''s the matter with you?"
28574	What''s yourn?"
28574	When I''m dead you can have the hill-- but you''ll look after them foxes, wo n''t you, boy?"
28574	When can you start?"
28574	Where you goin''?"
28574	Where''s your nerve?"
28574	Who be you?"
28574	Who ever heard of anyone goin''''leven hundred miles into nowheres for to have fun?
28574	Who is out here in the hills tying ermine collars on black foxes-- and why?
28574	Who is there to tell?
28574	Who talks of pay?
28574	Who told you it was the red death?"
28574	Who was it?"
28574	Why are there many suns?"
28574	Why do n''t Moran come?
28574	Why do you always take upon yourself the troubles of others?"
28574	Why had the great leader stayed until the snapping of the limb had frightened him away?
28574	Why had the wolves burst from it in terror?
28574	Will you go?"
28574	Yo''mean kill him?"
28574	You ain''see no track w''ere de stick drag, eh?"
28574	You did n''t come through from Fairbanks in them things?"
28574	You got nuff for de stake?"
28574	You know all''bout English?"
28574	You savvy?
28574	You was some big noise on the Yukon, couple years back, was n''t you?
28574	You were expecting me, sir?"
28574	_ Connie Morgan?_"''Merican Joe nodded vehemently.
28574	exploded the man,"what ails you anyway?
