18952Looks like I''m clean busted, do n''t it?
18952Mebbe a blast from my horn would reach him?
18952Now, Mr. Rollins, please tell me what it all means?

18952Say, how about it?

18952Solid ground, you mean, eh?
18952Suppose you try it, eh? 18952 Sure Seth, and what''s that to a husky lot of Boy Scouts, who''ve been through the mill, and wear merit badges all around?
18952That was Jo,muttered Mr. Rollins,"I seen his face plain as anything; but why would he be coming from the direction of town, instead of my place?"
18952The Beaver Patrol luck right in the start; did n''t I say nothing could hold out against that?
18952Then please follow directly after me; and Seth, you fall in behind Mr. Anderson, will you?
18952Then we''re going to start right away to try and find the middle of Black Water Swamps-- is that the idea, Paul?
18952Then you do n''t know?
18952Then you''ve noticed such a tree, have you?
18952Then you''ve thought of some one who might have known that you had three thousand dollars under your roof, is that it, sir?
18952Think I c''n lasso a bucking broncho? 18952 Was Jo working near the house then, can you remember, sir?"
18952We''ll show''em how we''ve climbed up out of the tenderfoot class; hey, boys?
18952Well, did you ever hear the beat of that, maw?
18952Well, do we make that start for home and mother and supper right now; or are we going to stay here till she gets plumb dark?
18952Well, we had our wish answered on the spot, did n''t we?
18952Well, what is it?
18952What d''ye mean, Paul, by sayin''that?
18952What is it, Jotham?
18952What might that be, Seth?
18952What say, shall we go, fellows?
18952What''s that about alligators?
18952What''s that?
18952What, you do n''t mean to tell me that you are something of a doctor as well as a leader of scouts?
18952What?
18952When was the last time you went up there to look at it?
18952Wherever do you suppose he came from, Paul?
18952Which spot, Paul?
18952Will it land near here, d''ye think, Paul?
18952Yes, and Paul, please let us know just how much further you expect to coax the leg weary bunch on today? 18952 Yes, go on; a week ago, you say?"
18952Yes, tell us what the scheme is?
18952You said as how you''d got all the stock out safe, did n''t you, Mr. Rollins? 18952 You seem to have a lot of money all of a sudden, Jo?"
18952Your money, I suppose you mean?
18952Ai n''t scouts got a right to live off the country as they hike through,''specially if they pay for what they take?"
18952Ai n''t you tried to buy it off me more''n a few times?
18952And Paul, had n''t we better be trying our luck some more now?
18952And about that Thatcher place, Jo, we''ll easy make terms, because nobody ai n''t going to have it but you and your maw, hear that?"
18952And he wants us to report that the_ Great Republic_ is down; Anderson, he said his name was, did n''t he, Paul?"
18952And looking back we have a right to feel a little proud of the record we''ve made, eh, fellers?"
18952Anderson?"
18952Anybody else feel milk thirsty?
18952But I do n''t believe it could have been a human being, do you, Paul?"
18952But if a piece of the bally old balloon fell right here, Paul, do n''t that tell us the wreck must a passed over where we''re standing now?"
18952But if not a cat, what was making that angry snarling?
18952But this will kill his old mother; however could he do it?

18952CHAPTER XII WHERE NO FOOT HAS EVER TROD"Now whatever do you suppose made that racket?"
18952CHAPTER XIII THE OASIS IN THE SWAMP"Was that another fish- eating bird like a crane, Paul?"
18952Did you stop long enough to see?"
18952Do you remember comin''outdoors on that night for anything, sir?"
18952Do you want to go to town, while the rest of us are searching the swamps for the aeronaut, Eben?"
18952Guess we have to follow one of these crazy little hummocks that run criss- cross through the place, eh, Frank?"
18952How about it, fellows?"
18952How about that, Jo?"
18952How about that, boys?"
18952How would three thousand sound to you, Jo?
18952How wouldt you feel if you rescued der argonaut, and lose your chump; dell me dot?
18952However did you know it, sir?"
18952In the drawer, you mean?
18952Is that about the figure now, tell me?"
18952Jo, my boy, my boy, what does he mean by saying that?"
18952Let me be, wo n''t you?
18952Louis?"
18952Paul, what had we ought to do?
18952Paul?"
18952Petter luck nexdt time, hey?"
18952Queer coincidence I''d call it now, would n''t you?"
18952Rollins?"
18952Rollins?"
18952Say, Paul, did you know about this camp site before; because it''s the dandiest place we''ve struck on the big hike?"
18952Scoutmaster?"
18952See here, if I tied a nickel or a dime in a piece of paper, and attached it to her horn, would n''t that be all right, Paul?
18952See here, sir, can you ever remember walking in your sleep?"
18952Subbose I want to make some squash pie down on der rocks?"
18952That''s plain, sir, ai n''t it?"
18952Wait here a minute, will you, please?"
18952Was Jo Davies, then, such a silly fellow as this?
18952Was the unfortunate aeronaut slowly bleeding to death, lying there amidst the bushes on that tongue of land?
18952What did I do?
18952What if he''s gone and broke his neck?"
18952Whatever d''ye think could a set the fire agoin''?
18952Why, it''s only a measly little twenty- five miles per day, and what d''ye think?"
18952Will we try for that last mile, boys?
18952Would the farmer find his missing wad snugly secreted in the old Dutch oven, as Paul so confidently suggested?
18952You moost some fun pe making when you say dot, Paul?"

18952did you ever see such a flock of the old caw- caws?"
18952do you really think so, my boy?"
18952look at all the crows flying over, would you?"
18952look at that, would you?"
18952that_ would_ be a joke on us now, would n''t it, if we made our way all over this beastly place, when there was n''t any aeronaut to help?
18952what d''ye think of that now; ai n''t she gone and done it though?"
18952what is that?"
18952what sort of help can reach him there?"
18952what''s that big thing rising up behind the tops of the trees over there?"
18952what''s the use of hurrying?"
18952why do n''t you gif me a handt?"
18952you do n''t say?"
38018''Do you wish to win fame and wealth thereby?'' 38018 ''Must I be kind to Spotted Bear?
38018About when will that be?
38018Ah, Omney-- see?
38018All 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?"
38018And the ladies?
38018Anything left in Pandora''s box for us poor creatures?
38018Are they having fits?
38018Are those the wolves we heard last night?
38018Are you the Indian maiden the guide was to meet to- day?
38018Art hungry? 38018 As it was impossible to''travel light''with two bears, is n''t it much better the way we arranged it, girls?"
38018As they are tried and trusty scouts, they are fit for any trial of courage or endurance-- is that enough?
38018Because we were_ on_ that one,--but which one was it?
38018But how did you manage to get down to the promontory, Julie?
38018But there_ was_ a flat meadow where we camped, was n''t there?
38018But what is there to put it in?
38018But where is Jolt?
38018Ca n''t Featherweight sit still?
38018Ca n''t we catch them and train them?
38018Ca n''t you stop it?
38018Can we find a better place for dinner than this grand cliff?
38018Dear, you will persuade Gilly not to lead us into such places?
38018Did any one hang up the saddles to- night?
38018Did you say he was standing upon his feet?
38018Did you think a dead one made those tracks?
38018Did you? 38018 Do n''t I always manage to get out of trouble again without causing any fatality-- only amusement for the Troop?"
38018Do 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?"
38018Eager-- what for? 38018 Gilly, how came these vast mountains here?"
38018Gilroy, 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?"
38018Got packs out, Tally?
38018Have you been there, yet?
38018Have you formed_ any_ idea of how we are going to travel to the Divide?
38018He and Mr. Gilroy seem to get on so wonderfully, do n''t they?
38018How can you be sure you have killed this demon?
38018How far is the Continental Divide from Loveland?
38018How long shall you folks want to use the horses?
38018How many canoes have you?
38018How many horses will you need?
38018How so?
38018I had thought of doing that, but the point at issue now seems Wyoming''to be or not to be?''
38018I wonder what sort of an outfit the guide will take?
38018If 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''?"
38018If five scouts dangle from my apron- strings, how can I scramble for myself?
38018If it blows this way, what must we do?
38018If we agree to tie ourselves to your apron- strings, Verny, will you feel resigned to our going?
38018If we are so near by, why ca n''t we visit them all?
38018Is Mr. Lewis going right back to Denver, did you say?
38018Is Tally back?
38018Is it named Gory, Gilly, because so many Red Men scalped the early settlers out here?
38018Is it the winter''s snow that piles up on mountaintops and freezes?
38018It''s a Sodom and Gomorrah for desolation, is n''t it?
38018Jo, is there anything wrong with my eyes? 38018 Julie, what_ do you_ mean?"
38018Must we go down any of them?
38018Now, Julie, do you still care to experience a hand- to- hand battle with a slide?
38018Now, how do you s''pose? 38018 Now, what can that be?
38018O Julie, you''re not going daffy, are you?
38018Oh, a real live bear?
38018Oh, are they, really?
38018Oh, where? 38018 Oh, why did we ever come this way?"
38018Scout hear beaver work? 38018 See on limb dere-- where deer must go if she like to get out?"
38018Sha n''t we take our sleeping- bags, Verny?
38018Shall we camp here for luncheon?
38018Shall we follow that trail around the pond?
38018Tally, did you look after the leather?
38018Tally, shall we reach Boulder to- night?
38018Tally,called she, turning to beckon the Indian,"see if this is smoke, will you?"
38018Tell me, do ledge end in hole like dis- a- one do?
38018Then we ca n''t go through, can we?
38018Wad yuh tink, Omney-- do we try him?
38018Was ever cathedral so solemn, so beautiful, as this of Nature?
38018Was it big enough for rabbit pie?
38018Well, Tally, how about trekking northwards?
38018Well, Tally, what do you make it out to be?
38018Well, what of that? 38018 What do they intend doing with those they lasso, Gilly?"
38018What do you mean, Tally?
38018What do you mean, boys?
38018What do you mean?
38018What do you scouts intend doing with Snap and Yap when we start on the trail again?
38018What does that mean, Uncle? 38018 What for?
38018What is it afraid of, Tally?
38018What is it, Gilly?
38018What is it, Tally?
38018What is it-- a rattler?
38018What now, Tally?
38018What old man?
38018What was your next point of interest, had we gone over the pass as you had planned?
38018What''s that?
38018What''s the map for? 38018 What''s the matter with him?"
38018What''s the matter?
38018When can we start for the Rockies, Gilly?
38018When?
38018Where do you plan to go from here, Gilly?
38018Where is he now, Gilly?
38018Where? 38018 Why are you going this way, Julie-- why not stick to the shore line?"
38018Why ca n''t Mr. Lewis take back our pelts and the cubs, and express them home for us?
38018Why do n''t you take the money and deposit it for them in a bank?
38018Why do n''t_ you_?
38018Why do they build another pond when there is such a big one above?
38018Why not eat, Maiden? 38018 Why not have Verny and Betty, the two tender scouts of the troop, stay and strike camp?"
38018Why 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?"
38018Why stop there, then? 38018 Why, is n''t that funny?
38018Will you tell me what I want to know--_was there a meadow_?
38018Yes, Gilly, why are they not scattered impartially over the land?
38018Yes, 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?"
38018You do n''t think we shall be running any risks, do you?
38018You say you tak him?
38018You seem not to like our luxurious schooner?
38018You would n''t say that was a little fire, would you?
38018A fire in the forest?"
38018All that volume of sound?"
38018And why is n''t this old castle on the road- map, with a note telling tourists of the magnificent view from this height?"
38018Any change in plans?"
38018At such sounds, the girls would murmur sleepily,"Did you see any old trees near camp?"
38018Back out all along this narrow ledge?"
38018But she coyly asked,''What must I do to keep my word with you?''
38018CHAPTER ELEVEN ON TO FLAT TOP MOUNTAIN What would a trip in the Rockies mean without an Indian guide?
38018Can Messer Gilloy see much wind thoo glass?"
38018Could the latter be a descendant of this Medicine Man''s?
38018Did they not leap and run joyously without a sound?
38018Did you ever see them act like this before?"
38018Did you think I wanted to be left on a desert shore?"
38018Didst ever think of how Spotted Bear caused the child to suffer when it went down in the water?"
38018Do we have to cross it?"
38018Do you think the mule is all right?"
38018Don''you know dem bad rats eat all up?"
38018Every little while they asked,"_ Now_ how far are we from Boulder?"
38018Finally Julie cried, scornfully,"Can you find anything in that scene besides patches where food is grown?"
38018Hast aught to say to that?"
38018Have we lost him?"
38018Have we trailed along some other way?"
38018Have you ever felt like this before-- as if you could hike as far as the Continental Range without feeling weary?"
38018Here is a party with a number of canoes but no horses, and here are we with horses but no canoes-- see my point?"
38018How about it?"
38018How could the poor thing hope to escape from a panther and a lynx?
38018How do you like it?"
38018I fancy Tally knows horseflesh and would not be taken in by the dealers, eh, Gilly?"
38018Is n''t it awful to have had such freedom all summer and then return to prison cells again for feet and body?"
38018Is not this life in grand communion with Mother Nature better than the cliff- dwellers in great cities ever have?"
38018Julie began to question the wisdom of this reckless act of hers; but having come so far, how could she back out gracefully?
38018Julie made no demur, although she said, warningly,"Do n''t let go of the canoe for a second, will you?"
38018Later, as they sat about the campfire, Betty asked,"Gilly, what is it that makes a glacier?"
38018Losing half the scouts in a whirlpool because of a silly notion of Juliet''s?"
38018Mink Maiden was surprised, but when he spoke, saying,''I am waiting for you to be my bride-- will you come with me?''
38018More trouble?"
38018Mr. Gilroy suggested,"Can you two men spend the day with Mrs. Vernon and the scouts?
38018Now can you blame me for quickly abbreviating it to Tally?"
38018Now, how does that strike every one?"
38018Ruth then said,"I''ve heard a lot about Hot Sulphur Springs, Gilly, but what thrilling sight shall we find there?"
38018Shall I read it to you now?"
38018Shall us go?"
38018Shall we find any wild animals?"
38018Tally glared at Omney,"Why for you do dat?
38018Tally offered no protest, but removed the pipe from his lips and asked,"You like Blackfeet tale?"
38018Tally turned to Omney,"Did him fix harness?"
38018That effectually halted the others, who were so close behind him, and Mr. Vernon leaned over to ask,"What is it, Tally?"
38018That is the easiest part of all, but how will other tourists know that that particular peak is named for_ you_?"
38018The moment the canoes came near enough, the Captain gazed up, and asked,"How can you get down, Julie?"
38018The old man frowned at her fiercely, and mumbled,"Art obstinate?
38018Then she said,"Have you been in the Rockies long?"
38018Then the Captain will feel safer, and her responsibility will be less?"
38018This proved to be the fact, for he gazed searchingly at the girl, and then murmured,"Well?"
38018Vernon?"
38018What are those tiny cowboys doing to the cattle?"
38018What do you say, Captain?"
38018What new calamity was now at hand-- and mother lying there so still and helpless?
38018What say you,--shall we detour to give the scouts an idea of how they do it?"
38018What say you?"
38018What shall we do about it?"
38018What would you do next?"
38018When they met Tally, who was waiting at the place appointed, Julie asked,"Where do we go from here, Gilly?"
38018Why do n''t you fight?"
38018Why should this master want to breakfast with an Indian squaw-- for such he was expecting?
38018Why strike me for his crimes?"
38018With expert Indians to guide the crafts, why do you feel so timid about the trip?"
38018Would we be coming from the interior?"
38018Would 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?"
38018where?"
38018where?"
21842A mystery is there now, Carl? 21842 According to the law anybody is allowed to shoot dogs caught in the act of running deer, especially in the summer time; is n''t that right, Tom?"
21842All we wanted to do was to ask you if you had seen that paper? 21842 Along-- where to, may I ask?"
21842And did you see the tramps in camp cleaning things out then?
21842And why would hoboes want that to happen?
21842And you allowed them to go on past, you mean, sir?
21842And you kind of had an idea the paper might have blown out through that open window, was that it?
21842And you say the receipt disappeared from the table in your sitting room, without anybody knowing what became of it?
21842Anything gone wrong here Billy?
21842Anything more about that stolen paper?
21842Are we going to stand by and see that sport go on, boys?
21842Are you satisfied to accept Mr. Perkins''apology, boys, in the same spirit in which it is given?
21842Because his name was signed at the bottom, you mean, Tom?
21842But Tom, Amasa Culpepper was n''t in our house that morning?
21842But Tom, do you think we could get some supplies from him?
21842But do we have to carry them along with us like that?
21842But he let Dock stay in the house, you say?
21842But how about that fine big tree yonder, could n''t we take shelter under that?
21842But how are we going to climb up in the tree?
21842But how can you get along, I want to know?
21842But if it was the fault of the lawyer''s clerk why should n''t he be held responsible for the loss? 21842 But tell me how you escaped?"
21842But what are we going to do about this thing?
21842But what can we do for shelter?
21842But what would a feller like me want with your old paper?
21842But what would the boy want to do with that paper?
21842But with a family of children to bring up how are you going to live from now on, when before this happened you had barely enough? 21842 But you still limp, I notice, sir,"remarked Tom;"are you sure you can make it to- day?
21842But you wo n''t think of backing down about going on this grand hike over Big Bear Mountain, I hope?
21842But you would not be so cruel as to deprive my children of their bread simply because of a little technicality, sir? 21842 But you_ did_ leave him alone there, did n''t you?"
21842Ca n''t you get us out of here, fellers?
21842Can you see if_ he''s_ in there, Tom?
21842Cooled''em off, eh?
21842Did Mrs. Oskamp see me take anything?
21842Did n''t I see that dog take hold of you by the leg, Felix, at the time you struck him so hard on the head with your club?
21842Do I? 21842 Do n''t you think that it was a little careless, Carl, in your mother, to do that?"
21842Do you mean some rowdies tried to make trouble for you?
21842Do you mean there''s any chance for us to keep going, after our things have been taken in this way?
21842Do you mean try to find out what the sum is he asked Amasa to pay him?
21842Do you suppose Mr. Henderson has brought that stout rope along with the idea that it may be needed to pull any one out of the mud?
21842Do you think Mr. Culpepper could have hired Dock to_ steal_ the paper?
21842Does Amasa still drop in to call now and then?
21842First of all do you remember what that receipt made out by Mr. Culpepper looked like, Carl?
21842Going into the real- estate business, are you, Billy?
21842Have we passed that dangerous place you were telling us about, sir?
21842How about allowing dogs to roam the woods up here, Tom; is n''t it against the law in this State nowadays?
21842How about others who are lazy, and always wanting to put things off to another day? 21842 How about that, Josh; would n''t you call a bog a swamp, too?"
21842How did you get out?
21842How is everything now, Carl?
21842How long ago was it that the raid took place, Billy?
21842How long was it between the time your mother laid the paper on the table and the moment she missed it?
21842How''d I be able to help Mrs. Oskamp out, tell me? 21842 How, sir?"
21842I did n''t have any chance to ask you about the big oak?
21842I judge from what you say, sir, that you have had the misfortune to lose some of your poultry lately? 21842 I never heard you say anything about it before, Tom?"
21842I wonder how deep that mud is anyhow?
21842I wonder what he''s meaning to do?
21842I wonder what those other fellows are doing about now?
21842Is it then so dangerous?
21842Is n''t that our chum, Billy, waving his hands to us?
21842Is that what they do?
21842It''s all over for to- night then?
21842Just why did you frown on the scout movement, may I ask, sir?
21842Listen to it roaring, up on the mountain?
21842Listen to the row up there, will you?
21842Look over yonder between those bushes, sir; does n''t that seem to be about the kind of place you''re after?
21842Me? 21842 Meaning the fact that Dock Phillips is somewhere up there on the mountain; that''s what you''ve got in your mind, is n''t it, Carl?"
21842Meaning you believe you know who the fellows were?
21842Mr. Henderson do you expect to remain in town over night?
21842No one sick over at your house, is there?
21842Nothing can be done, I suppose, Carl?
21842Oh is that so?
21842Oh, am I?
21842Oh, is there any chance of a terrible storm dropping down on us, do you think?
21842Oh, why did n''t ye come last June? 21842 Say, did you feel anything then?"
21842Shall we get started right away, Tom?
21842She''s sure of that, is she?
21842So she laid it on the table, did she?
21842Stop and think-- who would like nothing better than to put us in a hole? 21842 Tell me what it is then; and can we start in to try it right away?"
21842Tell me, am I seein''things Bill Scruggs? 21842 That grocer''s boy is a fellow by the name of Dock Phillips, is n''t he?"
21842That was why I saw a light over in your room late last night, was it?
21842That would be apt to make him come to time with a jump, would n''t it?
21842That''s all true enough, Tom, but tell me what you mean by saying that in the way you did? 21842 The next thing for us to see about is how under the sun will we cook all these delicious bass Billy''s got ready?"
21842Then Mr. Witherspoon is willing to organize the Lenox Troop of Boy Scouts, is he, Tom?
21842Then it was struck by that terrible bolt, was it?
21842Then it''s different with a scout, is it, sir?
21842Then what else has cropped up to bother you, Carl?
21842Then you have lost one, have you sir?
21842Then you must know Ezra Brush, for he was born in the farm house he occupies to this day?
21842Tom, would it be right for me to have another talk with Dock, and make him an offer?
21842Tom, would it pay us to follow them right now?
21842Tom, you''ve studied your chart good and hard, let''s hope,commented Josh;"so we wo n''t run any chance of going past the place without knowing it?"
21842Two minutes would be plenty of time, would n''t it, Tom?
21842Was it about that tenement house she owns, and the rents from which comes part of her income?
21842We could n''t do anything, Tom, now our paper''s gone off on the current?
21842We ought to make that little lake by the afternoon, ought n''t we, Tom?
21842We wo n''t try to carry any tent, will we, Tom?
21842We''ll keep you only a few minutes at the most, Dock,continued Tom;"you take the orders for groceries for the store, do n''t you?"
21842Well, that was a queer happening, was n''t it?
21842What another irate farmer?
21842What d''ye think of that, fellows?
21842What did you do to them?
21842What did you do?
21842What did you hear?
21842What do you mean by saying that?
21842What has that got to do with your scheme?
21842What if they have gotten lost in that awful mud bog, and right now are stuck fast there, whooping for help?
21842What is it, Josh?
21842What is it, then?
21842What kind of a paper was it?
21842What luck, Tom?
21842What makes you think that, Josh?
21842What sort of trouble do you mean, George?
21842What will she do when you''re away with the rest of us on that ten day hike over Big Bear Mountain?
21842What would we have done without any skillet at all, Tom?
21842What''s gone wrong, Carl?
21842What''s happened?
21842What''s that you are saying?
21842What''s that?
21842What''s the matter with taking a log and straddling the same?
21842What''s this here?
21842What''s this you''re a- sayin'', Tom Chesney? 21842 What''s this you''re talking about?"
21842What, me? 21842 What, that old miser pay any real money out?
21842Whatever have the scouts been doing this time to raise trouble? 21842 When will you get busy on that copy, Carl?"
21842Where are you going, Tom?
21842Who would have dreamed such a blast could sweep down and take that paper off? 21842 Why do you believe that?"
21842Why should they bother when it was seven against one, Tom?
21842Why should we do that?
21842Why should we take water when we laid our plans first?
21842Why, how could that be?
21842Why, that lot of boys seems to be having a snowball fight, do n''t they? 21842 Wo n''t you tie up your dogs, Mr. Brush, and come and join us here before the fire?"
21842Would n''t it be a great thing if we did happen on a real bear while we were out on this hike?
21842Yes, but why pick out Big Bear Mountain,Felix wanted to know;"unless they meant to spy on the scouts, and give us all the trouble they could?"
21842Yes, but you have n''t told me what it is?
21842Yes, that''s just what they did state,added Felix;"you''ve got to have things authenticated-- wasn''t that the word the paper used?"
21842Yes, what did they do to you, Billy?
21842You do n''t say, mister?
21842You heard what he said about the meanness of his employer, did n''t you?
21842You mean Dock wants more than Amasa is willing to pay, is that it, Tom?
21842You mean about saying it was a paper that had been lost?
21842You mean we expect to push right up the mountain and begin exploring the country, do n''t you, Tom?
21842You spoke of hunting in the garden and around the outside of the house; why should you do that?
21842You want to know what I think of it, boys?
21842You''re worrying again because nothing has happened as we hoped would be the case, eh, Carl?
21842You''ve lived around here some time, I take it?
21842Anybody know of a pond that''s got a nice green coating of scum on the top?
21842Anybody with hoss sense could put them facts together, could n''t they?
21842Besides, how was I to know they would pay the slightest heed to anything I might say?
21842Besides, they were in no hurry; so what was the use of exerting themselves unduly?
21842Besides, what''d I want with a silly old scrap of paper, tell me?"
21842Brush?"
21842Brush?"
21842Brush?"
21842But what''s that the boys are saying?"
21842CHAPTER VIII SIGNS OF TROUBLE AHEAD"Was it about Dock?"
21842CHAPTER XXIII INTO THE BIG BOG"Is it worth our while to bother with that crowd, Tom?"
21842Carl, and you too Tom; what''s up?"
21842Culpepper?"
21842Do n''t we happen to know that Tony Pollock and his crowd are around here on Big Bear Mountain somewhere?
21842Do those same rules say''procrastination is the thief of time?''"
21842Do we have to start in fishing that early, or else go hungry?"
21842Do you think you could duplicate the receipt, Carl?"
21842Felix,"objected the boy mentioned,"you''re stretching things pretty wide, are n''t you?
21842Get that, fellows?"
21842Had n''t we better try it alone?"
21842Have n''t we hunted high and low for that paper, and wondered where under the sun it could have gone?
21842Horace, are you going to see this grand scheme fall through for lack of just a single name?
21842How do we know but that a glorious chance may come up and that you can win out yet?
21842How do we know but that this raid on our stuff was made just to force us to give up our hike?"
21842How do you happen to know then it was a paper, Dock?"
21842How many are going along on the hike?"
21842How would we feel about it, knowing that we had had the chance given to us to stretch out a helping hand them, and had failed?"
21842I wonder what''s happened now?"
21842Is it the State Militia dropped down on us?
21842Is n''t that hard luck though, Tom?"
21842Is n''t that so, boys?"
21842Is n''t there a way?"
21842Is there a war on?"
21842It''s not a particularly lovely home for any fellow, is it?
21842May I, sir?"
21842Now what you drivin''at anyhow?
21842Now, what makes you look so glum, Josh?"
21842Of course you can show my name at the bottom of a receipt if that is the fact?"
21842Perkins?"
21842Perkins?"
21842Perkins?"
21842Perkins?"
21842Raidin''the farms up this way, are you?
21842That makes seven does n''t it?
21842Then he ended with an air of assumed dignity,"Horace, your country calls you; will it call in vain?"
21842Then would you advise me to try the plan I spoke of?"
21842Want to make me out a thief, do you?
21842What could Mr. Culpepper have to do with the vanishing of that paper?"
21842What do you think of the title, Tom?"
21842What for?
21842What if I did run across the chance to make Dock own up, and got him to give me that precious paper?
21842What if I do take orders; want to leave one with me for a commission, hey?"
21842What must I do if they take a notion to come back and threaten to eat me up?"
21842Which is it going to be?"
21842Why do you ask, Tom?"
21842Why pick me out above every one else for that?"
21842Witherspoon?"
21842Witherspoon?"
21842Witherspoon?"
21842Witherspoon?"
21842Would it be wrong in me?
21842Would they ever forget that supper?
21842am I?"
21842anything like compounding a felony?"
21842asked Rob;"without getting stuck in the mud ourselves?"
21842do you mean even to signing Mr. Culpepper''s name at the end?"
21842exclaimed Felix"Can it be a muskrat, Tom, do you think, swimming on top of the water?"
21842he cried, when his voice could be heard,"did n''t that sound right from where that magnificent big oak tree stood that I wanted to get under?"
21842is that so, Felix?"
21842listen to that, will you?"
21842questioned Tom;"and agree to hand it over to him just as soon as the stock of the oil well company can be sold, after your mother gets it again?"
21842sneered the man;"but tell me, who''s a- goin''to vouch for you, now?"
21842what d''ye mean by trespassin''on my ground?
21842what''s gone wrong now, Carl?"
12731A child?
12731A child?
12731After you''ve kicked a fellow so that he''s so sore he can scarcely move, do you expect him to do a vaudeville turn right away?
12731All that money?
12731And are you really going to- morrow night?
12731And now, what are we going to do?
12731And poor old Hinman was the client, eh?
12731And sandwiches? 12731 And so you decline our offer of ten dollars?"
12731And take it away from you?
12731And what has this young feller got to say or do about it?
12731And what have you got to say about his not going home?
12731And where were you going when we stopped you?
12731And--- have you had any fresh milk lately?
12731Another camping party?
12731Are n''t they a mucker looking outfit?
12731Are there any relatives to take care of this man?
12731Are we going to get any breakfast to- day?
12731Are we going to turn in, soon?
12731Are you afraid to trust banks with your money?
12731Are you anxious to keep us hungry girls away from our luncheon that much longer?
12731Are you content, Dan, to grow up and use your fine muscles in performing the duties of a day laborer?
12731Are you from Drake''s wife?
12731Are you going far, this trip?
12731Are you going to bring the man to consciousness, doctor?
12731Are you in a hurry to get somewhere, Darry?
12731Are--- are you from the building loan people?
12731At some farm house?
12731Be at the hotel by half- past five o''clock, wo n''t you?
12731Been tramping a bit, Prescott?
12731Before we pass sentence,proposed Dick,"wo n''t it be better to wait and find out whether he''s guilty of shirking this time?"
12731But I mean--- I mean------uttered Darry disgustedly,"how do you prepare bull- heads for cooking?"
12731But I wonder what''s wrong with him?
12731But how shall we judge the distance?
12731But suppose you do lose the nomination and ca n''t go to West Point--- what will you do then?
12731But the money?
12731But what are we going to do now?
12731But what on earth am I going to do with the horse and wagon, then?
12731But why did you sleep in the wagon? 12731 But why do you ask?
12731But why must Americans have a nervous vent?
12731But will that be work enough to make us as hard as nails?
12731By the way, Mr. Pollock,the sub- master went on,"what do you think of Dick''s latest feat?"
12731Ca n''t we hit up the pace a bit?
12731Ca n''t we offer you a cup of coffee, gentlemen?
12731Ca n''t you do it, sir?
12731Ca n''t you see me to- morrow?
12731Can you hold your tongue a minute?
12731Canned corned beef?
12731Cooler down by the road, is it?
12731Could we be of any service, sir?
12731Dick, why did n''t you tell us something about it last night?
12731Dick,suggested Darry, with some bitterness,"we''ll feel like princes in our flannel shirts and khaki leggings, wo n''t we?"
12731Did any of you fellows see him go away from camp?
12731Did n''t you ever see a horse eat fish?
12731Did those rascally tramps follow us and watch their chance?
12731Did we muss you up as much as that?
12731Did you ever see an Army or a Navy officer?
12731Did you feel or hear anyone prowling about, or searching your clothing?
12731Did you find any papers down there on the floor of the wagon?
12731Did you see anyone trying to get over the road with a vehicle?
12731Did you see the officers in uniform?
12731Do I hear you discussing money that is due my father?
12731Do any of you feel like taking an evening walk?
12731Do n''t I?
12731Do n''t you think you''d better steer off?
12731Do n''t you want to get anywhere in life?
12731Do we look as though we had loafed this summer?
12731Do you agree with Tom that dirt is the best stuff with which to decorate one''s clothing?
12731Do you expect to move on at all to- day?
12731Do you know what the greatest trouble is with the American people?
12731Do you know where they are now?
12731Do you mean that some villains have stolen the goods from your wagon?
12731Do you put Dick Prescott in the milk- sop class?
12731Do you think you can hike three miles and swim before breakfast in the morning?
12731Do you want to take a little walk down to the road, where we can get a better look at the sky?
12731Do you, Dick?
12731Does our appearance suit you, ladies?
12731Eh? 12731 Eh?"
12731Eh?
12731Eh?
12731Eh?
12731For a month''s use of the wagon? 12731 Glorious evening, is n''t it?
12731Going to take the lantern?
12731Has he a wife?
12731Have n''t, you forgotten something?
12731Have you any interest in him?
12731Have you been in this part of the country before?
12731Have you fellows lost anything?
12731Have you heard, this morning, how your father is?
12731Have you?
12731Here, what have you been doing to my friend?
12731His fine work over on the Tottenville road this afternoon?
12731Hold my horse, will you?
12731Home?
12731Honestly, now,demanded Hazy,"would n''t you enjoy just staying here and lounging today, Dick Prescott?"
12731How are you, father?
12731How did you ever come to have so much about you?
12731How do you cook bull- heads?
12731How do you expect us to catch you when you get the lead over us with your long legs and arms?
12731How do you stand, Harry?
12731How far from a swimming place this time?
12731How far shall we go?
12731How many?
12731How much was taken from you?
12731How--- how did you ever get here in time?
12731I drive it?
12731I guess we''ve won all we set out to get, have n''t we?
12731I wonder if any of you fellows feel the way I do to- night?
12731I wonder what Dan would like, anyway?
12731I wonder what the head waiter said to the rah- rah boys?
12731If Darry wants to move faster,suggested Hazelton,"why not tell him where to wait for us, and let him gallop ahead?"
12731If I let you go, can I depend upon you to keep right on going straight and fast, until you deliver a note to a doctor?
12731If the peddler should die,suggested Dave soberly,"do you believe that Timmy Hinman will be able to face the thought of going to work for a living?"
12731If you did n''t want to hire the wagon,asked Mr. Titmouse testily,"what was the use of taking up my time?"
12731Is Mr. Prescott in this party?
12731Is Prescott about?
12731Is Tom Drake in there?
12731Is he sober?
12731Is it a coming storm, or an optical delusion?
12731Is it?
12731Is n''t it true?
12731Is n''t this a free country, where a man may go home when he chooses?
12731Is our greatness due to ourselves, or to the fact that the United States embraces the greatest natural resources in the world?
12731Is this your little girl, madam?
12731It is n''t a roast, is it?
12731It would n''t be really wise, would it?
12731It''s late enough for us to go back to camp and turn in, is n''t it?
12731It''s likely I''d back out of anything that''s moving, is n''t it?
12731Just for pleasure?
12731May we pay you a proper price for the use of the firewood, sir?
12731Mine? 12731 Money?"
12731More exciting than what you''ve been through tonight? 12731 Mother,"Laura went on,"are n''t you going to invite the boys to luncheon at the hotel tomorrow?"
12731Mr. Hinman, can you talk?
12731My camping wagon a joke? 12731 Now that I think of it,"Dick declared,"Phin is just another edition of Timmy Hinman, is n''t he?
12731Now, gentlemen,called Dick,"if you think your curiosity has been sufficiently gratified, do you mind clearing out and letting us alone?"
12731Now, suppose we make''em supply us with a little amusement?
12731Now, what do you think of anyone who would do a trick like that?
12731Now, which way are we going to look first?
12731Now, will four of you young men take hold of that cot, gently, and carry it out to my car?
12731Now, you begin to feel better, do n''t you, Reuben?
12731Oh, how can I thank you young men? 12731 Our old Drayne is just another Timmy Hinman of the regular kind, is n''t he?"
12731Per week?
12731Prescott, why on earth did you let us in for a dinner and dance to- morrow night?
12731Probably the thief thought the papers valuable, also, but they weren''t.-----"You were robbed--- when?
12731Robbed?
12731Say, what was that?
12731Seven? 12731 Shall we try the walk?"
12731Should n''t Lawyer Stark give me half of the ten he got from Bill Peterson?
12731Still, in that case, Mr. Trainer, why did n''t you camp nearer to a stream?
12731Ten dollars for the use of that fine wagon for a whole month?
12731The college boys?
12731The rah- rah hoodlums?
12731Their uniforms were nice and neat, were n''t they?
12731Then how were you hurt, sir?
12731Then it was all you had in the world, outside of your peddling stock and your horse and cart?
12731Then why did n''t you stay in?
12731Then why did you start it?
12731Then you do n''t think ten dollars a fair price?
12731Then you know him?
12731Then--- what''s the answer?
12731This piece is about Dick Prescott, and he does n''t sign patent medicine test-----"Dick Prescott?
12731Triumph?
12731Was he here long?
12731Was it all the money you had?
12731Was that why you did it--- accepted that dinner and dance invitation?
12731We wish to know, sir,Dick explained,"if you can tell us who owns the woods about a quarter of a mile back, at the right hand side of the road?"
12731We''d cause a sensation in the hotel, would n''t we?
12731Well, a little thing like breakfast, for instance?
12731Well, what are we going to the high school for?
12731Well, what is it?
12731Well, whose fault is it that you are not having your luncheon, here and now?
12731Well, you forgot your supposed starvation, did n''t you?
12731What about?
12731What about?
12731What am I going to do about it?
12731What am I going to do with this crazy old rattle- trap?
12731What are you going to do about it?
12731What are you going to do in life yourself?
12731What are you going to do when you come upon these fellows?
12731What are you going to do with the hobo?
12731What are you men doing here?
12731What child?
12731What do you men know about this?
12731What do you say, young man?
12731What has happened, sir?
12731What has that got to do with going back to Gridley?
12731What have you men been doing?
12731What makes you say that?
12731What shall we do next?
12731What shall we do with the food that''s left over?
12731What shall we have for the main thing to eat to- night?
12731What was that mob, anyway?
12731What was that?
12731What was the use?
12731What''s he doing out here at this hour of the night, and on foot?
12731What''s he up to now?
12731What''s that noise below? 12731 What''s that?"
12731What''s that?
12731What''s this about your going home, Drake?
12731What''s your best offer? 12731 What?"
12731What?
12731What?
12731Where are you?
12731Where did you find the wallet?
12731Where did you have the money?
12731Where does he live?
12731Where is that grinning monkey of a football player?
12731Where''s Dan?
12731Which one?
12731Who are you boys?
12731Who are you calling''that feller''?
12731Who asked you to speak?
12731Who can have done this deed?
12731Who could have done it?
12731Who gets the odd one?
12731Who has sore feet?
12731Who knows? 12731 Who sent you here?"
12731Who''s taking my name in vain?
12731Who--- who calls?
12731Whose help?
12731Why are we a great people?
12731Why ca n''t you?
12731Why did you do--- this?
12731Why, what about that other half? 12731 Why, where are the boys?"
12731Will you bring your cot, too?
12731Will you describe the woods a little more particularly?
12731Will you do me a great favor? 12731 Will you give us some, too?"
12731Will you keep quiet, for a moment, and let the other fellows hear, even if you have to take a walk in order to save your own ears?
12731Will you kindly take your leave?
12731Wo n''t my receipt do until my father is up and about once more?
12731Wonder what these animals are doing here?
12731Would n''t I be a funny- looking lamb in a midshipman''s uniform?
12731Would one of you boys accept a dollar to drive this over to Fenton, and put the horse up in my father''s barn? 12731 Would you like some?"
12731You boys have done some things in athletics, have n''t you?
12731You carried your wallet as conspicuously as that when traveling over lonely country roads?
12731You do n''t mean, doctor, that that big, healthy- looking fellow is supported by his father?
12731You fellows were in for a swim, were n''t you?
12731You had some dispute with that crowd, on the hotel porch to- night, did n''t you?
12731You have other clothing with you, have n''t you?
12731You searched the rags, and the surrounding parts of your wagon?
12731You wanted to see me?
12731You were?
12731You wo n''t do any damage to my woods, will you?
12731You''d rather be president of a big railroad company?
12731You''re fully conscious, Mr. Hinman, and know just what you''re saying?
12731You''re not going through Fenton, are you, Dick?
12731Young fellow, wot can you do in the entertaining line?
12731And where did you have the wagon?"
12731And, if it is a joke, why did you want to get it?"
12731Are any of you boys hurt?"
12731Are you man enough to take me up, and to make it worth my while to take you on?"
12731Bentley?"
12731But Dick answered, coolly:"What are we going to do?
12731But in the meantime, what of Dick and Dave?
12731By the way, Dan, what are you going to do in life?"
12731By the way, what''s your name?"
12731CHAPTER XV MAKING PORT IN A STORM"Did you ever see a blacker, more peculiar looking cloud coming than that one?"
12731CHAPTER XX IN THE MILKSOP CLASS?
12731CHAPTER XXIII TIMMY, THE GENTLEMAN, AT HOME"Oh, wo n''t life seem stale when we get back into the land of crowded business streets and schoolhouses?"
12731Can we help you in anything?"
12731Did you fellows bring a lantern with you?"
12731Did you notice how early in the fight his wind left him?
12731Do n''t you believe we had better stop here?"
12731Do n''t you imagine that all our kicking, many times every day of our lives, makes the need of nervous vent more and more pronounced?"
12731Do n''t you think so?"
12731Do you mean Mollie?"
12731Do you see?"
12731Drake?"
12731Drake?"
12731Enjoy the woods in your own way, wo n''t you?"
12731Had n''t we better stay here until to- morrow, and then break camp with our tent properly dry?"
12731He was going to take us into town to- night for a good time, and we were happy, were n''t we, baby?
12731Hinman?"
12731Hinman?"
12731How about supper?"
12731How many dances may I have the honor of claiming at the hop to- night?"
12731How old would you say Mr. Hinman is, Tom?"
12731How would you like to try it out?"
12731I wonder if it is that way, generally, in the United States?"
12731I wonder where my two girls are?"
12731I''ve just happened to think of something that I want to make sure about""What is it?"
12731In the Milksop Class?
12731Is n''t that baby worth a twenty- mile walk for any man to see when he knows she''s his own kiddie and waiting for him?
12731Just how long, Reade, do you think it is going to take us to fit on the new tire?"
12731Lost mother?"
12731Mollie, where are you?"
12731More of this talk was heard, until finally someone demanded thickly:"Well, why ca n''t we chase''em out of town?"
12731Or did you see them as you came up?"
12731Prescott?"
12731Prescott?"
12731Quick Expediter?"
12731Say, you do n''t play football with the Gridley High School eleven, do you?"
12731Shall we show you a few of them?
12731Then one of the eight, moving in advance of The others, called back:"Fellows, what have we here?"
12731Then, while Reade was gone, Prescott asked:"Mr. Hinman, why on earth did n''t you keep your money in a bank, and then pay by check?"
12731Tom, will you try the potatoes?"
12731Tragic?
12731Were you ever one?"
12731What do you want of them?"
12731What is it?"
12731What kind of men would you boys make if it came to the stern part of life?"
12731What''s the matter?
12731What''s the story?"
12731What?"
12731When do you reach Ashbury, Dick?"
12731Where, indeed, was Dalzell?
12731Who was going to be fool enough, anyway, to run blindly into a storm of flying green apples?
12731Who will go with me?"
12731Will you take the job?"
12731Wo n''t you all sit down and be our guests in a little ice cream feast that we have started?"
12731Wo n''t you do it--- please?
12731Yet we''ve the years ahead to think of, have n''t we?"
12731You have n''t injured him, have you?"
20710A what?
20710Ai n''t seen any Big W cattle, back along the trail, have you?
20710Ai n''t there nobody but Boy Scouts in these mountains?
20710Ai n''t we ever goin''to move on?
20710All ready?
20710And you''ll take the flag? 20710 Any horses?"
20710Are n''t you going to give it to us and make them let us go?
20710Are n''t you going to untie our feet?
20710Are you good for another pull?
20710Aw, what difference does that make now?
20710Aw, what do we care?
20710Aw, what do you let that one- armed kid bluff you for?
20710Bear?
20710Because, see?
20710Both of you?
20710Brown eyes and big ears?
20710But do n''t you think that we''d better find some place where we can take you?
20710But is it sore anywhere else?
20710But we have to put that message through, do n''t we?
20710By way of Pilot Peak?
20710Ca n''t you wait a little?
20710Can they read Army and Navy wigwags?
20710Can we catch her, all right?
20710Can we get a saddle- horse here?
20710Can we see him?
20710Can you?
20710Did he go, too?
20710Did he take it out? 20710 Did you have on colored underdrawers?"
20710Did you hear anybody called Bill?
20710Did you see a one- armed boy?
20710Do I have to make that extra ride?
20710Do you feel sick?
20710Do you give us your promise not to skip?
20710Do you know this is the fourteenth day?
20710Do you promise?
20710Do you think we ought to do that? 20710 Do you think we''re on the right trail, still?"
20710Do you want a flag?
20710Do you want to ride, or try walking again, or shall we carry you?
20710Do you, Mike?
20710Do you, Tony and Bert?
20710Does n''t your instep touch, when you stand up in them?
20710Enemy?
20710Fire out?
20710Fishin''?
20710Going far?
20710Good place for beaver, is n''t it?
20710Got a fire?
20710Hand me my camera, will you, please?
20710Have I?
20710Have you looked for sign?
20710He smelled that bear, did n''t he?
20710Hear that?
20710How about it?
20710How are you?
20710How big is yours?
20710How did Fitzpatrick lose his arm?
20710How did it start?
20710How did it start?
20710How did you get that packet?
20710How do we know?
20710How do you grip, then?
20710How do you know?
20710How far is Green Valley?
20710How far is the cabin, please?
20710How high is it?
20710How is he? 20710 How is he?"
20710How many in the party?
20710How many?
20710How you coming?
20710How''d_ you_ get loose?
20710How?
20710Howdy?
20710Howdy?
20710Howdy?
20710Hurt?
20710I ca n''t, eh?
20710If I could make it, could I stay there a little while?
20710If we untie you will you fork it over or do you want me to search you?
20710Is he all right?
20710Is it over with?
20710Is that the mines?
20710Is that you, Fitz?
20710Is that yours?
20710Is the doctor here?
20710Is the fire out?
20710Is this meant for a report?
20710It is n''t sour and burning, is it?
20710It''s gone past, has n''t it?
20710Never saw you before, did I?
20710Now had n''t you better give us that message? 20710 Now what you going to do about it?"
20710On a bay horse?
20710One of us had better be catching the horses, had n''t we?
20710Out fishing?
20710Roan hoss branded quarter circle D on the left hip? 20710 Say, do I have to sit here all night while you chew the rag?"
20710Say, what''d I ever do to you? 20710 Say, you, what''s the matter with you?"
20710See it?
20710See that?
20710See the chickens?
20710Shall I make a talk, or will you?
20710Shall we escape?
20710Shall we go on?
20710Shall we try it?
20710Sharp? 20710 Smallish man?"
20710Somebody hurt over there?
20710Sore right under there?
20710That so? 20710 The pelt''s no good, is it?"
20710Then what have you got it in for me for?
20710Think so?
20710Think they''re in trouble?
20710Think we''re still on the trail?
20710Tired? 20710 Turn back and make for the creek; shall we?"
20710Walking?
20710Want any help?
20710Was he a dark- complexioned man, with a small face and no whiskers or mustache?
20710Was it you who was shooting and calling?
20710Was one horse a bay with a white nose, and another a black with a bob tail?
20710We could have climbed that other side, could n''t we?
20710We''re good scouts-- ain''t we, Bat?
20710We''re liable to wake those two fellows up, are n''t we?
20710Well, I suppose you''ve been taught about the danger from camp- fires, then?
20710Well, what of it?
20710Were you there? 20710 What are you doing?
20710What are you lads trying to do? 20710 What are_ you_ talking about?"
20710What can we give him?
20710What did they look like?
20710What did they say?
20710What did you hear?
20710What did you shoot at?
20710What difference does that make?
20710What do you suppose started it?
20710What do you think I am, anyhow?
20710What do you want me to do? 20710 What do you want of it?"
20710What do you want to keep me here for?
20710What do you want with us?
20710What for?
20710What if we do? 20710 What if we do?"
20710What is he doing now?
20710What is it?
20710What is it?
20710What is it?
20710What is it?
20710What kind of Scouts do you think we are? 20710 What kind of a crowd had they?
20710What kind of an ache is it, Tom?
20710What makes you think your friend has appendicitis?
20710What message?
20710What message?
20710What message?
20710What ought we to do?
20710What three kids?
20710What were the brands?
20710What''s that-- Boy Scouts?
20710What''s that?
20710What''s that?
20710What''s the matter here?
20710What''s the matter with the burro?
20710What''s the matter with you, kid?
20710What''s the matter? 20710 What''s the matter?"
20710What''s the matter?
20710What''s the matter?
20710What''s the trouble?
20710What? 20710 What?"
20710What?
20710When are you Red Foxes off?
20710When?
20710Where are you kids bound for, anyway?
20710Where are you?
20710Where''d you catch him?
20710Where''s Henry?
20710Where''s that?
20710Where?
20710Where?
20710Where?
20710Where?
20710Whereabouts?
20710Which one was he? 20710 Which way did he go?"
20710Who are you kids?
20710Who are you?
20710Who are you?
20710Who are you?
20710Who are you?
20710Who nearly filled you full of holes?
20710Who said bear? 20710 Who said so?"
20710Who shot them?
20710Who were the two fellows?
20710Who you got here? 20710 Who''s got it?
20710Who''s got that message?
20710Who''s got the message now?
20710Who''s he?
20710Who''s the enemy?
20710Who?
20710Whose orders?
20710Whose trap?
20710Why ca n''t we go along?
20710Why did n''t you come on, then?
20710Why not?
20710Why not?
20710Why so?
20710Why, how are you, Jack? 20710 Why?"
20710Why?
20710Why?
20710Why?
20710Will it do?
20710Will we get through?
20710Will we make it?
20710Will we make it?
20710Will you pass me those shoes?
20710Would I? 20710 Would n''t I?
20710Would you get well quick if we leave you and take the message through, Tom?
20710Yes; did n''t I say so?
20710You are n''t going to tie us for all night, are you?
20710You fellows going to sleep?
20710You kids did n''t make the law, did you? 20710 You know how, do you?"
20710You saw them start, did you?
20710Ai n''t there a creek ahead?
20710All aboard?"
20710And Fitz answered, like lightning:"E-- l-- k.""What shall I say?"
20710And now you''re holding Jack, are you?
20710Are they the ones?"
20710Are you those three kids?"
20710Bad leg?
20710Brass- bound stirrups?"
20710Burns?
20710But-- it was n''t any of our business, was it?
20710Ca n''t we hit the pipe?"
20710Ca n''t you do something?"
20710Ca n''t you keep him from fussing about that message?"
20710Camping?"
20710Can we see him?"
20710Can you ride?"
20710Can you, Fitz?"
20710Could n''t catch any, eh?"
20710Did n''t I give you back that message, and tell you all I knew?
20710Did n''t I help you out as much as I could?"
20710Did you thank them?
20710Do I get my shoes, or not?"
20710Do n''t we, Jim?"
20710Do n''t you, yours?"
20710Do you want to go back with me?
20710Ever hear of him?"
20710Fitz only said quietly:"But if you have to quit, you''ll quit, wo n''t you, Tom?
20710Have n''t seen any one pass through?"
20710He 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?"
20710He tried to smile, and he said:"Did he?
20710He was busy; and what do you think?
20710Hear me?
20710How did you know I was at any other camp?
20710I reckon you Boy Scouts want to support the Government, do n''t you?"
20710I suppose we can cook our own meat, ca n''t we?"
20710Is n''t that so, boys?"
20710Kit Carson and I saluted him, military way, because he represented the Government, and answered:"Howdy, sir?"
20710Leave the general?
20710Lie here for the rest of my life?"
20710Motives count, in law, do n''t they?
20710Not one of_ you_?"
20710Now, are you coming, or will you sneak off with an excuse?"
20710Now, 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?
20710Or steady?"
20710Pass me the shoes, will you?"
20710Savvy?"
20710Savvy?"
20710See his finger?
20710See it?"
20710See?
20710See?
20710See?
20710See?"
20710See?"
20710See?"
20710See?"
20710See?"
20710Set the timber afire?"
20710Shall we move camp, or post sentries, boys?"
20710Shall we vote on it?"
20710Shall we, Tom?"
20710Sick man?"
20710Somebody hurt?
20710Somebody hurt?"
20710Sure?"
20710That would be a chance for an honor, eh, Van?"
20710The 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?
20710Then--"Why?"
20710There 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?
20710They let you go, did they?"
20710They made a pretty sight, but--"Frightened by the fire, are n''t they?"
20710This is a free land, ai n''t it?"
20710To ask"How old are you?"
20710Want him?"
20710Want to rest a second?"
20710Want to see it?"
20710Was it going to fly, or not?
20710Was one wearing a big revolver?"
20710Was that what was the matter?"
20710We were n''t here to talk cattle, though; and Fitz spoke up:"Where''s the nearest ranch, or town?"
20710Well, we untied you, did n''t we?"
20710What did he look like?"
20710What time is it?"
20710What was the use?
20710What you afraid of?
20710What you doing?"
20710What''s the matter with our going, too?"
20710What''s the matter with you?"
20710What''s the matter?"
20710What''s the rumpus?"
20710When is the enemy going to attack?"
20710When they got us to the main camp Bill Duane walked up to General Ashley and said:"Where you got that message, Red?"
20710Where are those things I used to call shoes?"
20710Where are you bound for?"
20710Where can we get a doctor?"
20710Where did he go?"
20710Where is Smith?"
20710Where is it?"
20710Where is the store?"
20710Where you from?"
20710Where''s your camp?"
20710While they were approaching, Major Henry wigwagged:"All there?"
20710Who are you fellows?"
20710Who''s that?
20710Who''s the boss?
20710Why?"
20710Why?"
20710Will you, Fitz?
20710Will you, or do you want me to pull trigger?"
20710You are n''t judge of the law, are you?"
20710You could n''t handle that man alone-- could you?"
20710You see that strip of young timber running up over the ridge?
20710You''re sure going, are n''t you?"
20710You''ve given us your parole; see?"
20710You?"
20710[ Illustration]"Howdy?"
20710the Indian would sign:"You,""winter,""number,""what?"
17865About what do you wish to speak with me?
17865All our stuff gone; we''ll have to go back, wo n''t we?
17865All right? 17865 And behind that large boulder?"
17865And who are you, sir?
17865Anything else, Miss?
17865Anything wrong?
17865Are thethe the hillth?
17865Are we attacked?
17865Are we near the other end, or has the miserable old bridge turned around since we started? 17865 Are you all right, Tommy?"
17865Are you all right, Tommy?
17865Are you hurt, darlin''?
17865Are you safe?
17865Are you the Meadow- Brook Gals?
17865Are you the man who wished to speak with Miss Elting?
17865Are-- are the hortheth running away?
17865But do n''t you think you are just a little bit foolhardy?
17865But how could they?
17865But shall we have time to carry them across?
17865But we agreed not to fight any more, did n''t we?
17865But what about the blanket? 17865 But what if Mr. Grubb is in trouble?"
17865But why did you do such a foolish thing?
17865Ca n''t you see we are all just perishing with curiosity?
17865Can you hold her?
17865Can you lift?
17865Can you swing her a little without dropping her?
17865Can you tell me who the man with the goggles is?
17865Collins? 17865 Daylight?
17865Did I fall gracefully?
17865Did I find thomething?
17865Did Mr. Grubb catch the man again this time, too?
17865Did he speak to you?
17865Did n''t you find her?
17865Did the man wear green goggles?
17865Did they get them themselves, or did somebody do it to them? 17865 Did thomebody fall down, Harriet?"
17865Did you not say that our equipment was perfectly safe here?
17865Did you really fail for once, Harriet?
17865Do n''t you know what that is?
17865Do n''t you understand? 17865 Do ye deny it?"
17865Do you know Janus Grubb?
17865Do you know a man named Collins?
17865Do you know where they met, young ladies?
17865Do you live here?
17865Do you mean that, really and truly?
17865Do you really wish to see?
17865Do you recognize it?
17865Do you see where you''re getting to? 17865 Do you think it safe?"
17865Do you think you can go to sleep?
17865Do you want to drop clear to the bottom?
17865Do you want us to tell you what to do?
17865Does Crazy Jane McCarthy ever fail to get what she goes after? 17865 Does n''t look that high, does it?"
17865Does your nose hurt you much, Margery?
17865Dynamite?
17865Eh? 17865 Either you threw the stuff in, or somebody else did, and we know you did n''t, so what''s the answer?
17865For what?
17865Gals?
17865Had n''t you better not sit down, darlin''?
17865Harriet went down there, and----"Eh? 17865 Harriet, are you nervous or tired?"
17865Harriet, shall we go join the game?
17865Harriet, what are you doing?
17865Harriet, what is it?
17865Harriet, what_ do_ you mean?
17865Hath Buthter broken her nothe?
17865Have n''t we had trouble enough for one night without your suggesting anything else?
17865Have we got to climb up there?
17865Have you forgotten your troubleth, Harriet?
17865Have you two sleuths finished your work?
17865He wore a long, black beard, and--"You are positive of this?
17865How can I?
17865How far is it?
17865How far shall we have to climb?
17865How many legs do birds ordinarily have?
17865How much farther have we to go?
17865How much?
17865How so?
17865How-- how long must I hold it?
17865I suppose I can reach you here at Compton?
17865I wonder if he did push Tommy over?
17865I wonder what his grievance is?
17865I wonder who liketh uth tho much that he wanth to knock our headth off?
17865If not, what do you propose to do?
17865In the river?
17865Is Margery seriously hurt?
17865Is Mr. Grubb badly hurt?
17865Is n''t it hard enough to climb this skating rink without being bothered by you?
17865Is n''t that strange?
17865Is that all? 17865 Is that all?"
17865Is there any wood?
17865Is there any? 17865 Is there anything more we can do for you?"
17865Ith that what maketh Buthter tho uppithh thith afternoon?
17865Ith thith a fairy thtory, or a really- truly thtory?
17865Ithn''t that nithe?
17865Ithn''t that too bad? 17865 Jane, will you please shave some of the smoked beef?
17865Janus Grubb? 17865 Let go?"
17865Look at that, will ye?
17865Matter?
17865May I ask your name?
17865May I go and help?
17865May I make a suggestion?
17865Mountain climbing is something like work, eh?
17865No bones broken, I trust?
17865Now, had n''t we better strap Hazel to the litter?
17865Now, what could have frightened a pair of horses enough to make them so blind they could n''t see a tent? 17865 Now, where do you want to go first?"
17865O, where is it?
17865Of what are you thinking, dear?
17865Oh, Harriet, do n''t you know?
17865Oh, Mr. Grubb, who of our party has brass- headed tacks in his boot heels?
17865Oh, am I up?
17865Oh, but is n''t this the fine ride?
17865Oh, girls, are you hurt?
17865Oh, girls, what am I going to do with you? 17865 Oh, is n''t it nice and cosy in here?"
17865Oh, my dear, are you hurt?
17865Oh, then it is the guide? 17865 Oh, what has happened?"
17865Oh, why did I leave her? 17865 Read it in the McCarthy party''s letter to Jan.""What are they going to do up in the hills?"
17865Run into the tent? 17865 Saw something?"
17865Saw what?
17865Shall I ask some one if Mr. Janus Grubb is here?
17865Shall I carry Miss Holland?
17865Shoot me?
17865Sit down and allow some outlaw to rob us at every turn?
17865Speaking of water, that reminds me: Where are we to get our water for the coffee?
17865That means the strangers have heard and understood, does it not?
17865Then how do you explain this?
17865Then, what do you say if we make Mount Chocorua first?
17865Tommy, how did you come to get over the edge?
17865Tommy, why will you be so careless? 17865 Tommy, would you like to have a biscuit?"
17865Was any one hurt? 17865 Was any one hurt?
17865We are n''t afraid of getting wet, are we, Jane?
17865We did,he replied very gravely,"and we are not going to, are we?"
17865Were you thrown directly through the opening?
17865Wha-- at is it?
17865Wha-- at?
17865What I should like to know is how those things got in the river?
17865What about it? 17865 What about supper?"
17865What am I going to do?
17865What are we going to do?
17865What are you doing there?
17865What did the thief do with our supplies?
17865What did you conclude from what was said?
17865What did you find?
17865What do you mean?
17865What do you mean?
17865What do you mean?
17865What do you suppose has happened to her?
17865What do you think?
17865What does it mean, Miss Elting?
17865What has happened?
17865What is it, dear?
17865What is it, dear?
17865What is it, girls? 17865 What is it, honey?"
17865What is it? 17865 What is it?
17865What is it? 17865 What is it?"
17865What is it?
17865What is it?
17865What is it?
17865What is it?
17865What ith the''Thlide''?
17865What kind of a looking feller was he?
17865What of the horses?
17865What shall it be, girls?
17865What sort of looking man was he, Hazel?
17865What thhall we do?
17865What time will you be ready to start?
17865What was he doing out there?
17865What would you advise us to do?
17865What''s the matter now?
17865What''s the matter with you, Margery?
17865What, that way?
17865What- for- looking man was he?
17865Whatever are we going to do without a frying- pan?
17865Where do you feel bad?
17865Where is he? 17865 Where is he?"
17865Where is it? 17865 Where ith it?"
17865Where ith the camp?
17865Where?
17865Where?
17865Who are these girls, and what do they think they''re goin''to do up here?
17865Who are they?
17865Who are you and what do you want here?
17865Who is it?
17865Who would like a bite to eat with her coffee?
17865Why do you think that?
17865Why not, dear?
17865Why not? 17865 Why, where did Mr. Grubb go?"
17865Will some one bring a rope, please?
17865Will you listen to her?
17865Will you listen to her?
17865Will you look into that pack and see what you find? 17865 Will you stop that?"
17865Will you swim, or will you drown?
17865Wondering what?
17865Would it better the situation were any of you girls to get into the same difficulty? 17865 Would n''t Buthter make a fine toboggan?"
17865Yes?
17865Yeth? 17865 You are going into the mountains?"
17865You are looking for a guide, Miss?
17865You could n''t recognize in him the man we saw on the station platform at Compton the night of our arrival, could you, Hazel?
17865You did n''t throw them in the river, did you, Jim?
17865You did?
17865You do n''t say?
17865You have arranged for us at the hotel for to- night, have n''t you?
17865You knew there was some one about some time before you got up and walked away, did n''t you?
17865You know who it is?
17865You know?
17865You mean about the fellow who tried to make you believe he was I?
17865You saw it, sir?
17865You think you know?
17865An instant later she cried out,"Will you look at that?"
17865Anything wrong there?"
17865Are they always like they have been this time?"
17865Are you all asleep?"
17865Are you feeling badly again, dear?"
17865Are you going to stop that screaming and do something for yourself, or are we to let you hang there until to- morrow morning?"
17865Are you he?"
17865Are you ready?"
17865But I did n''t fall into the tree thith afternoon, nor out of it either, did I?"
17865But how can you get back with your horses?"
17865But perhaps you have forgotten our telling you that the man wore goggles?"
17865But-- what are we to do for food?"
17865CHAPTER III THE START THAT CAME TO GRIEF"Who do you think it is, Harriet?"
17865CHAPTER VII HORSES GIVE THE ALARM"Will you tell me where you placed the first packs when you came ashore with them?"
17865Ca n''t you see it?
17865Ca n''t you see, we are hardly able to believe that it is really you?"
17865Can it be that some one is shooting at us?
17865Did I furnithh you with exthitement enough for one night?"
17865Did n''t anything fall on us?"
17865Did n''t you hear me laugh when I wath down there?"
17865Did ye pull me down?"
17865Did you find something?"
17865Did you hear the shots?"
17865Did you hurt yourself?"
17865Do n''t you know?"
17865Do n''t you think tho?"
17865Do we stay here all night, or are we to go on?"
17865Do you find anything up there, Harriet?"
17865Do you know anything about Jan Grubb?"
17865Do you know of a good place to make camp for a little while?"
17865Do you recall the little experience we had on the station platform at Compton on the evening of our arrival?"
17865Do you see that, girls?"
17865Does any of you know where Mr. Grubb is?"
17865Does your head pain you?"
17865Find anything?"
17865Funny name, eh?"
17865Funny not to know me, was n''t it?"
17865Girls, are you ready for the last pull?"
17865Git them of you?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Grubb?"
17865Harriet, are you cold?"
17865Harriet, can you help me?"
17865Have you got it, Harriet?"
17865Have you two been croaking there all night?"
17865Have you your belts on?"
17865Hazel is n''t much injured, is she, Miss Elting?"
17865He would n''t thay hith little girl wath lathy, would he?"
17865How about our supper?"
17865How about you?"
17865How could you ask such a thing?
17865How did you know?"
17865How do we get to the mountains?"
17865How do you feel?"
17865How do you like being towed, darlin''?"
17865I did it, too, did n''t I?
17865I fooled you that time, did n''t I?"
17865I wonder how much would have been left of Tommy had she fallen down there?"
17865I wonder who this fellow is?"
17865I-- will you look at that?"
17865If he did not carry it away with him, what could he have done with it?"
17865If not too long a story, will you relate it now?"
17865Is n''t it too bad?"
17865Is n''t she a beauty?"
17865Is n''t she good- natured, and so early in the morning, too?"
17865Is there water down there?"
17865Jane, will you please start the fire?
17865Januth?"
17865Jim, what do you think about that?"
17865Miss Elting, how would you like to take a nice, cool morning swim?"
17865Miss Elting, will you look after them while I go to hunt a stick?"''
17865Mr. Grubb, is that you?"
17865Mr. Grubb, wo n''t you please see what you can do with the tent?
17865Now, can you blame them for running away and taking the tent down?
17865Now, shall we move along?"
17865Now, what could poor Jane do under such circumstances, except to swallow hard?"
17865Now, what if one of the horses should fall down?
17865Now, what will you have?"
17865Now, will you be good?"
17865Oh, what is it?"
17865Oh, what shall I do?
17865Oh, why did n''t I think of it before?"
17865Otherwise, what''s the use in stealing?"
17865Our enemy wore whiskers, did n''t he?"
17865Please, may we go up and have another slide?"
17865Say, what do you young women need of a guide?
17865See any one about these parts?"
17865See him?
17865Shall I use them all?"
17865Shall we go ahead or go back, Miss?"
17865She leaped to her feet, crying out,"What is the matter now?"
17865Six letters?"
17865Suddenly Jane McCarthy cried out sharply,"Who''s that?"
17865Suppose the wall should fall in?"
17865That will make Margery feel well again, wo n''t it, dearie?"
17865Then we will have something to be thankful for, wo n''t we?"
17865Thomebody better thave me?"
17865Thought of it?
17865Want to quit?"
17865Was any of you hurt?"
17865Was it you, Jane?"
17865We are used to thtaying awake all night, are n''t we, Jane?"
17865We do not know but there may be more shots, though we are n''t going to be afraid, are we, girls?"
17865What are we going to do?"
17865What are you trying to do, darlin''?"
17865What did you find, or did n''t you find anything at all?"
17865What did you shoot at?"
17865What did you wish?"
17865What do you mean?"
17865What do you mean?"
17865What do you want to do now?"
17865What is all the excitement about?"
17865What is the quickest and best thing to be done?"
17865What now?"
17865What of it?"
17865What reason do you suppose he could have for coming to me in this manner?
17865What shall I do?"
17865What shall I do?"
17865What was it?"
17865What, the tent down?"
17865What-- wha-- at?"
17865What?"
17865When they coming to town?"
17865Where are the bedding packs?"
17865Where is Jane going?"
17865Where would you suggest?"
17865Where''d you find them?"
17865Where''d you think we were?"
17865Where''s the lantern?"
17865Who do you think it could have been, sir?"
17865Who is coming first?"
17865Who is he?"
17865Who says Jan Grubb ca n''t build a fire when there is n''t anything to build with?"
17865Why did I not insist on Harriet''s leaving that awful place with me?"
17865Why did n''t you tell Mr. Grubb in time, so he could look after this fellow?"
17865Why do n''t you do something?
17865Why do n''t you get them out?"
17865Why not use some of the dry pitch pine roots that you gathered?"
17865Why should I throw the old stuff in the river?"
17865Why should they do that?"
17865Why should we be?
17865Why?"
17865Will that do?"
17865Will you please come away from there?"
17865Will you promise to be more careful in future?"
17865Will you tell me that?"
17865Wo n''t we, Buthter?"
17865Would n''t it be fine were we to find our canned supplies down here, Jane?"
17865Would n''t that be funny, Mith Elting?"
17865You are all here, are n''t you?"
17865You are shivering, are n''t you"?
17865You did get a bump, did n''t you?"
17865You fell down, did n''t you?
17865You heard what he just said?"
17865You know how wet, burnt wood smells?
17865You ladies live in this state, do n''t you?"
17865You mean a guide, I suppose?"
17865gasped Miss Elting,"what has happened to her?"
17865shuddered Tommy,"ithn''t it exthiting?"
17865what is the matter?"
