34229Is it any wonder then that so many want to know more about Steel Traps and Trapping?
34229Is it not as reasonable that they smell a trapper when on his rounds?
34229Now they do n''t appear to be afraid of human scent or iron in some places and around a trap they are, so now why should they know where to be shy?
34229Now, how does he know when to be afraid and when not?
34229She said,"Why do n''t you put salt around your traps?"

34063*** Comrades of the trap line, are you awake to the conditions under which we must work?
34063Admitting this to be the case, is not a good fox or mink skin worth ten times as much to the trapper as a partridge or rabbit is to the dollar man?
34063Another one of your jokes?"
34063Are we always careful when making our estimate to give a fair grade ourselves?
34063Are we careful that our furs are at least fairly prime and carefully cured and handled?
34063Bill asked,"Did you see it too?"
34063Bill brought his load up to where I was, and threw it down with the remark"I suppose that you did not think to bring along an extra lunch, did you?"
34063Bill replied rather sharp,"That''s our business, but what are you here for?"
34063But comrades, are not we, the trappers, partly to blame for this unfair deal?
34063But that is not all, if it is the pleasure of an individual to amuse himself with the traps, why should he be deprived of that pleasure?

34063He answered very short, saying,"If I had you would be likely to see something of it, would n''t you?"
34063He said,"Oh, you are a clever jade, ai nt you?"
34063How long I was going to be there?
34063I asked if there was any more sport in coon hunting in September than there was later in the season?
34063I asked if they did not think September rather early in the season to kill coon?
34063I asked this man why he did not let them go until fall or winter, as these dens were near his mill?
34063I asked,"What with, porcupines?"
34063I began to work Pont''s way and said,"has he gone that way?"
34063I pointed at the clump of yellow birches and said,"Do n''t you see him down in the gulch there?"
34063I remember well when Mr. Harris ordered fifty pounds of beans and asked me if I thought that would do?
34063I said,"Smoky, can you see a bee fly?"
34063I said,"Smoky, what day can you go?"
34063I said,"Smoky, what is it?
34063I said,"What is the harm of Pont going with me?"
34063I said,"Where do you expect the dog to go?"
34063I suspicioned what was coming and said,"Well, what kind of luck have you had?"
34063I would like to ask the old liners who have grown too old on the trail and trap line to follow it longer with profit and pleasure, if they keep bees?
34063If not, then why not?
34063Is it good?
34063Mart( that is an old liner who had come to my cabin to have a few days''hunt) came out of the cabin and I said,"old man, what are you thinking about?"
34063No?
34063Now, boys, ca n''t you see that the average fur buyer is awfully good to the poor trapper?
34063Say, boys, the question of pork and beans leads me to ask how many of you who have a fireplace in your camp have a bean hole?
34063Say, you wives, daughters or sweethearts of the trapper, do you stand for this kind of a deal?
34063See this hay wire that is fastened to the trap chain and which is fastened to that stone out in the deep water?
34063See this little sink in the log?
34063Smoky being given to much joking, I asked,"What have we got?"
34063Smoky laughed at my idea and said that bees always flew in a straight line-- does not everybody say as straight as a bee- line?
34063Smoky was amazed and said,"You blooming simpleton, what is the matter with you?"
34063The 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?"
34063Then the spokesman said,"Do you fellows pretend to own this camp?"
34063Uncle then spoke to him and said,"Amos, what is the matter, are you lost?"
34063Was I frightened?
34063Was this law enacted wholly for the benefit and pleasure of the dog man?
34063We waited until they came up to us and one man said,"What in blazes are you fellows doing on this bear''s track?"
34063Well what do you think you will do about it?
34063Well, boys, I suppose you are well pleased with the bounty law in this state,( Pennsylvania) as it now is?
34063What is it?
34063When I saw that Smoky would not talk, I said,"Well, Smoky, did you find the other bee tree?"
34063When this was done, Bill looked it over and said,"By gum, do n''t it look like living?"
34063When we get ready to set our traps about the first of November, let''s try to-- Oh, well, you kick, do you?
34063Where I was from?
34063Why?
34063You see that big mossy log laying on the bank over there?

32236de snow, she go slide, slide, lak''de-- de gran''rapeed, see?"
32236he asked thickly, fumbling with both hands,"what is done to my eyes?
45690All right,said Jack;"I''ll go you; but we have n''t time to set the traps to- night, have we?"
45690And what is a dead- fall?
45690Are they just like the plains buffalo, Hugh?
45690Are those beavers?
45690Are those horses coming?
45690Are you going to take a tent with you, Hugh?
45690Are you willing to lend a hand to skin this bear?
45690But how long will it take to build it?
45690But what is this queer, half- bitter taste that it has, Hugh?
45690But why do n''t those old logs that you were speaking about, rot and disappear?
45690But, Hugh,Mr. Sturgis went on,"what''s the shortest way to get there; and how would you go?"
45690But, is not the work very hard?
45690By the way, Hugh,said Jack,"how much grub will we want to take with us?
45690Could n''t find any birch?
45690Did n''t you ever, back East, see a dog get between a woodchuck and his hole? 45690 Did you ever see one opened?"
45690Did you fire that shot, my boy?
45690Did you have any trouble with your traps, Hugh?
45690Do 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?"
45690Ever eat any in spring time?
45690Get it?
45690Good- evening,said Hugh,"wo n''t you light down and sit?"
45690Great show, is n''t it, Henry?
45690Have you any idea, Hugh, about what time the bears come here?
45690Have you men just come from Rock Creek?
45690He''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?"
45690How do you mean ca n''t follow us, Hugh?
45690How do you mean, Hugh? 45690 How do you mean, Hugh?"
45690How is it, Hugh,he said,"that geese are found here as late in the season as this?
45690How many packs do you intend to take, Hugh?
45690How many young ones do the beaver have?
45690How?
45690Hugh,he went on, after a pause,"the Indians must have a great many beliefs and stories about birds and animals, have n''t they?
45690Hugh,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?
45690I am sure I do n''t know, Hugh; what is it?
45690I got my knowledge about that from the books, but I guess the books do n''t know everything?
45690I say,he said,"do you live out here?"
45690I suppose you have no more idea than I have how the fire got started?
45690I suppose, Hugh, there is no great chance of our being able to shoot any of these animals while we are hunting?
45690I''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?"
45690I''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?"
45690In that case we ought to start just as soon as we possibly can, ought n''t we?
45690Is there any other fur there?
45690It does look fairly ship- shape, does n''t it?
45690It goes better to- day, son, does n''t it?
45690It will be quite a job, wo n''t it, Hugh?
45690It''s a bully good camping place, is n''t it?
45690It''s got the same old number four in it, has n''t it?
45690Looks that way, does n''t it?
45690More than you bargained for, eh, son?
45690No use to think of hunting there, is there, Hugh?
45690No,said Henry,"I do n''t think they would; but is there any danger?"
45690No,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?
45690No,said Jack,"that''s so, but I do n''t know enough to make those breast bands and breeching to help you, do I?"
45690No,said Jack,"what is it?"
45690Now tell me, Hugh, how do we go from here down into North Park?
45690Now, Hugh,said Jack,"what do you think about our summer''s trip?
45690Of 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''?
45690Our skinning knives, Hugh?
45690Tell me, Hugh,he added after a pause,"what other fur may we expect to see here?"
45690That was a wonderful knife Mr. Clifford had, was n''t it, Hugh?
45690Then you got the other cub, did you, Hugh?
45690Then you think it was a cub that climbed up this tree?
45690Then, when you get into the high mountains,said Mr. Sturgis,"you think you can get some beaver, do you?"
45690There, son,he said,"do you see the philosophy of it now?
45690There,said Hugh,"do you see that fur that grows next to the skin?
45690Those fellows that have the big horns? 45690 Tired to- night, son?"
45690Was n''t that a pretty sight, Hugh?
45690Well, Hugh,said Jack,"what about trapping wolves?
45690Well, Hugh,said Jack,"what are we going to do to- day?
45690Well, Hugh,said Jack,"what particular place did you think of going to?"
45690Well, I do n''t know,said Hugh;"there must be at least one; he makes plenty of noise, does n''t he?"
45690Well, 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?"
45690Well, after that, Hugh, I expect those men had more respect for your advice, did n''t they?
45690Well, how long ago were those mountains burned over?
45690Well, son, what luck?
45690Well, son,said Hugh, when the job of stretching the hide and shading it was ended,"do you feel pretty wolfish?"
45690Well, where do they live?
45690Well, why did you make that long ride?
45690Well,asked Jack,"what''s the matter with trying them to- morrow morning before we got to the traps?"
45690Well,said Hugh,"is that what you shot at?
45690Well,said Hugh,"that little cuss rather played it on us, did n''t he?
45690Well,said Hugh,"why do n''t you take him out and give him a lesson in shooting?"
45690Well,said Jack to himself,"what sort of fools do these people think we are?
45690Well,said Jack,"is there any reason why we should not start to- morrow?"
45690Well,said Jack,"what do you suppose they do that for?
45690Well,said Jack,"what do you want me to do?
45690Well,said Jack,"what''s the matter with hunting him up and finding out?"
45690Well,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?
45690Well,said Jack,"you''ve worked pretty fast, Hugh, have n''t you?
45690Well,said Mr. Sturgis,"when can you get ready to start?"
45690Were there two calves with them?
45690Were you ever snow blind?
45690What animals are there, Hugh, that kill the beaver? 45690 What are they, Hugh?"
45690What are those?
45690What are you going to do to- day, Hugh?
45690What are you going to do, Hugh?
45690What became of the cubs, Hugh?
45690What did the bob- cat do when the beaver dived, Hugh?
45690What do you mean, Hugh?
45690What do you mean?
45690What do you suppose it was they saw, Hugh?
45690What do you think about it, Jack?
45690What is it, Hugh?
45690What is the fisher, Hugh?
45690What is this bird you call a rail, son?
45690What sort of a gun is yours?
45690What was the matter?
45690What''s the Michigan, Hugh-- a place or a stream?
45690When was that, Hugh?
45690Where are you going now?
45690Where are you going to look for that antelope, Hugh?
45690Where do you mean, Hugh,said Mr. Sturgis,"down in the Parks of Colorado?"
45690Where is he?
45690Where was that, Hugh?
45690Which do you think would be better, Hugh?
45690Why is it, Hugh, that there are no trout in the Platte River?
45690Why is that, Hugh?
45690Why, Hugh,said Jack,"have you seen any sign?"
45690Why, 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?
45690Why, yes,said Jack,"we can go on, but where do you want to go?"
45690Why, 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?"
45690Why,said Jack,"do n''t you know the wild mountain sheep?"
45690Would you mind if I tried to help you?
45690Yes,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?
45690Yes,assented Jack,"it does, of course; and what tremendous coats these horses get in this country, do n''t they?"
45690You catch them with dead- falls, do you, Hugh?
45690You did, eh?
45690You do n''t have the name of Whiskey Jack for these birds out here, do you, Hugh?
45690You have n''t wasted any time, have you? 45690 Your medicine, Hugh,"asked Jack,"what is that?"
45690A lively place, is n''t it?"
45690After a while Henry seemed to tire of this inaction, and said to Jack,"What are we going to do, Jack?
45690After 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?"
45690Are there other animals, the meat of which is affected by the touching of the hide?"
45690Are they hard to catch, or is it not much trouble to catch young wolves?"
45690Are they not worth trapping?
45690As the two started on Jack looked at the sun and asked,"Do you know what time it is, Hugh?"
45690As they were at work removing the animal''s entrails, Jack said,"Now, what shall we try to carry back?"
45690At last he spoke to Hugh about it, and said,"How many of those coyotes do you think there are yelling out there, Hugh?"
45690CHAPTER VII A TALK ABOUT BEAVER"Well, now, Hugh,"asked Jack,"what can you tell me about beaver trapping?"
45690Ca n''t we go on?"
45690Can 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?"
45690Clifford?"
45690Could she have touched the bait and then jumped back while the log was falling?"
45690Curious thing, is n''t it, son, that these little fawns do n''t give out any scent?"
45690Did n''t you ever hear of that before?"
45690Did you ever see a muskrat house back East?"
45690Did you ever see anything like it?"
45690Did you see more than the one as we came up, son?"
45690Do n''t you know that is what the beaver feed on, and, of course, the flesh tastes of it?
45690Do n''t you see there in that dam some green leaves sticking up?
45690Do they store up food in that way and go back to it when they are hungry?"
45690Do you expect to see any Indians, Hugh?"
45690Do you know what sort of an axman Jones is?"
45690Do you mind coming along?"
45690Do 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?"
45690Do you want to take any of this meat along?
45690Got everything ready?"
45690Have n''t I ever told you about that wolf that Billy Collins killed three or four years ago at the ranch?"
45690Have n''t you noticed something like smoke off to the west?
45690Have you ever looked carefully at these dams?"
45690Have you seen any of the Indians?"
45690Have you thought of what you want to do?"
45690Have you tried it at a target?"
45690He put the shell in his pocket, and then asked,"Which way was your gun pointed?"
45690How are you getting on on your side?"
45690How are you going to know when you get an egg back East what bird it belongs to?"
45690How did you get him?"
45690How long are you going to be here?"
45690How was he hit, Hugh?"
45690I 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?"
45690I expect if we put a lash rope over them and pull pretty hard it will smash some of the eggs, wo n''t it?"
45690I guess you are ready for supper, are n''t you, son?"
45690I 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?"
45690I told Mrs. Carter that we would be gone for a couple of months; was that right?"
45690I wonder if I could learn how to do it?"
45690If 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?"
45690Is it so that the beaver will gnaw their feet off to get out of a trap?"
45690Is n''t that so, Hugh?"
45690Is that the same creature that the books speak of as the black cat?"
45690Is there anything we can do for you?"
45690Is there time enough for us to go down there now?"
45690It was pretty hard hauling this afternoon, was n''t it?"
45690It''s a great secret how it''s made, is n''t it, Hugh?
45690It''s almost the whole width of the continent, is it not?
45690Jack called back,"Did you hear that, Hugh?
45690Jack touched Hugh, and when he bent down his head, whispered to him,"Could n''t we crawl up a little closer and watch them?"
45690Johnson?"
45690Just as Jack started out with Pawnee, to take him to the barn, Hugh passed by and said,"Does he know you, son?"
45690May not some of the animals trouble that to- night?"
45690Now what do you think the Indians up north say about these birds?"
45690Now, 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?"
45690Now, what do you think?
45690Of course, it may be a duck, but may it not be a beaver?"
45690Shall we move, or shall we stop here one more night?"
45690Suppose I had started from the ranch to trap beaver, and had come down here without any traps, what would you have thought of me?"
45690Suppose 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?"
45690That seems to me about the nicest trip one could make without going off far; what do you say to it?"
45690That would mean, I suppose, weighing three or four hundred pounds, would n''t it?"
45690They do n''t imagine that we are going to leave a good safe place like this and start off over the prairie, do they?"
45690They''ll think that they''re right in it, wo n''t they; that they''re real old trappers?"
45690We are learning a great deal in these last two or three days, are we not, Henry?"
45690What are you going to do?"
45690What did you see, Hugh?"
45690What do they call it?"
45690What do you know yourself about these people?
45690What do you think?"
45690What do you think?"
45690What is a mastodon?"
45690What is that swimming?
45690What was it?"
45690What was it?"
45690What''s become of them all?"
45690What''s that you''ve got-- a piece of antelope meat and a lion?"
45690When Hugh had finished his pipe Jack said,"What shall we do this afternoon, Hugh?
45690When he got back to camp, Hugh said to him,"Do you know, son, that last antelope you killed is pretty nearly gone?
45690When they were in the saddle, Jack said to Hugh,"Did you see anything of my buck?"
45690Where did you learn?"
45690Where do you suppose you could take Jack this summer so as to give him a good time?
45690Where do you think it is?"
45690Where is your father?"
45690Where were you on the road when it began to snow?"
45690Why will you not come, Mr. Johnson, and teach me while Jack teaches my boy?"
45690Wo n''t it be, or did you ever eat beaver when you were with the Blackfeet?"
45690Would n''t mink go into a trap baited with beaver meat?"
45690You have seen elephants, have n''t you?"
45690You mean bighorns?"
45690You say all they know about him is that they found his bones?"
45690You see that little knoll over there on the prairie?
45690and a thousand or fifteen hundred miles north and south?"
45690asked Jack,"or are they different?"
45690said 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?
28574About how many marten do you think we ought to catch?
28574After all that work setting them? 28574 Ai n''t they country enough to see here in Alaska?
28574All right, lad,called the factor,"but what are ye goin''to do?
28574And do you think it''s still there on the_ cache_--the fox skin and the collar?
28574And where would the trapper have been and that woman and little baby? 28574 And why have n''t you got a fire?"
28574And you ate all your grub raw?
28574And, Waseche, where do you think''Merican Joe came from?
28574Are they there now?
28574Are you crazy?
28574Are you hurt?
28574Are you lying to me? 28574 Are you sure?"
28574As 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?"
28574Beyond the big river-- the Mackenzie?
28574Big difference in men-- even in_ chechakos_, ai n''t there, Joe?
28574But did n''t you tell McTavish about the fox you shot, and the one you trapped with the collar on?
28574But suppose there is a lynx in one of those snares?
28574But tell us how you got in, and why you ca n''t get out the same way?
28574But the gold?
28574But 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?
28574But where did you get the dog-- or wolf-- or whatever Leloo is?
28574But, how about breakfast?
28574But, how about the Kuskokwim?
28574But, why did he bring the other sled? 28574 But, why would n''t it be just as easy to figure it in dollars?"
28574But, ye''re goin''to hurry over there, ai n''t you? 28574 But-- what is it-- out there?
28574By the way, did you tell anyone your name around here?
28574D''ye know him?
28574Did Dutch Henry an''Black Jack Demeree tell yo''that, too?
28574Did dey talk?
28574Did he have any fits? 28574 Did the other one get away?"
28574Did you bring the mail over?
28574Did your partner have any dogs with him?
28574Do n''t count your chickens before they''re hatched, eh?
28574Do n''t you keep any ahead, nor any kindlings?
28574Do you think there''s a good chance to prospect over there? 28574 Do?"
28574Five hundred dollars?
28574Go out where?
28574Go out?
28574Gold?
28574Good skin,assented''Merican Joe,"Wan''ver''big beaver...""How much?"
28574Had n''t we better put a line on Leloo?
28574Had n''t we better wait till tomorrow and bring the heavy rifle?
28574Have you?
28574Hello,said Connie,"what do you want?"
28574Here, where you going?
28574Hey, where you goin''?
28574How about bringing in a stamp mill and turn your hill into a regular outfit?
28574How can you tell?
28574How did it happen?
28574How did you get in?
28574How far is it from here?
28574How far?
28574How he git in dere?
28574How long has he been sick?
28574How long will it take you to make Fort Norman travelling light?
28574How long you be''n here?
28574How many of you are there?
28574How many traps are we going to put out?
28574How much debt do they get?
28574How you lak him, eh?
28574I wonder what his heart is?
28574If we go roun''de hill an''ain''fin''no track, den we hit for de cabin?
28574Is he yours?
28574Is it a good skin?
28574Is it snowin''?
28574Is it wolf, or dog, or part wolf and a part dog?
28574Is n''t there any other opening to the cave?
28574Is that good for bait?
28574It''s about time we went down and looked at those fox traps, is n''t it?
28574Know him, do you? 28574 Look here, who do you think you''re talking to?
28574Look, what''s that?
28574Me an''Leloo, we ain''need no gun, do we, Leloo?
28574Naw, 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?"
28574No, it would spoil the cave an''besides where would me and the foxes go? 28574 Now what do we do with''em?"
28574Now who''s growling about the loss of a skin? 28574 Oh, jest like that, eh?
28574Opening to the cave? 28574 Or is he a dog?
28574Sir?
28574Snow fer a week?
28574So you think I''m still with the Mounted do you?
28574Still playin''a lone hand, eh? 28574 Still up to your old crookedness, are you?
28574Suppose we do catch this one?
28574Talk English?
28574That 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?"
28574The next question,he muttered to himself,"is where do I go from here?
28574Thought you''d kind of slip one over on me, did you?
28574W''at you care''bout dat? 28574 W''at you care''bout de man?
28574W''at you mean-- chicken hatch?
28574W''at you mean-- de bottom of de fox- hole?
28574W''at you t''ink''bout Leloo, now?
28574W''at you t''ink''bout dat?
28574W''en you go?
28574Want anything to eat?
28574Was it a white man?
28574Was it canned milk? 28574 Well, it paid, did n''t it?"
28574Well, now it''s come, what yo''goin''to do with it?
28574Well, son, what is it?
28574Well, what do you think of that?
28574Well, what in thunder would anyone want to_ cache_ that stuff''way out here for? 28574 Were you goin''?"
28574What 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?"
28574What are ye doin''back here-- you? 28574 What are you doing that for?"
28574What are you packing those heads for?
28574What d''you mean-- learn? 28574 What did McTavish make of it?"
28574What did he do it for?
28574What did he send me alone for? 28574 What do you leave the black fox skins out there for, they''re worth a lot?"
28574What do you make of it?
28574What do you mean by a lot?
28574What do you mean by a skin?
28574What do you mean-- finish him?
28574What do you mean? 28574 What do you mean?"
28574What if I have?
28574What in thunder are you doing?
28574What in thunder is the meaning of this? 28574 What is it?"
28574What is the name of that lake?
28574What kind of a collar?
28574What kind of bait? 28574 What marten?
28574What then?
28574What was I to do? 28574 What will we do with him?"
28574What would my dad have done? 28574 What''s on yo''mind?
28574What''s that?
28574What''s the matter with it?
28574What''s the matter with it?
28574What''s the matter with you?
28574What''s the matter with you?
28574What''s the matter, son, bad news?
28574What''s what?
28574What''s your name--_kahta mika nem_?
28574What-- pancakes?
28574What-- what year is it?
28574Where did you come from? 28574 Where did you get him?
28574Where did you trap him? 28574 Where does the bait go?"
28574Where is he?
28574Where is your partner?
28574Where is your window?
28574Where would_ you_ have been if I did n''t?
28574Where you headin''for?
28574Where''s the ax?
28574Where''s your firewood?
28574Who be you, an''what d''ye want? 28574 Who giv''um den?"
28574Who is this party, an''what''s he doin''over in that country himself?
28574Who says so?
28574Who''re you?
28574Who''s going along?
28574Whur you goin''?
28574Whur''s my marten?
28574Why ca n''t we take a few fox traps with us? 28574 Why do n''t he come?"
28574Why do n''t they go after caribou?
28574Why do n''t you fasten the chains to the big log, instead of to those light clogs?
28574Why do n''t you rip him up the belly like you did the bear?
28574Why then do we follow this man''s trail? 28574 Why''s that?"
28574Why, no, sir----"No what?
28574Why, you''re going to get a fox, if you''re lucky, ai n''t you?
28574Why?
28574Why?
28574Will you sell Leloo?
28574Wo n''t there be an other one along in a day or two, so we''ll have to do it all over again?
28574Yes, Mr. Demeree----"You mean Black Jack?
28574Yes, 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?"
28574Yes,agreed Connie,"but how about using paper money?"
28574You do n''t believe there''s any gold there?
28574You have seen him, too-- the fox that yells?
28574You knew of that-- of my threats?
28574You looking for_ hooch_, too?
28574You meaning trading with the Indians-- free trading?
28574You say you''ve been over east of the Mackenzie; is there gold over there?
28574You sure git back, pret''queek?
28574You''d run him down in five minutes-- but when you did-- what then?
28574You''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?"
28574Ai n''t I eighty?"
28574Ai n''t you never comin''?
28574Aloud, he asked innocently:"What''s the matter with the free traders?"
28574An'', say, do n''t you want to buy some moose meat?
28574An''did n''t he bring in four of the orneriest cusses that ever lived when they busted the Hart River_ cache_?
28574An''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?"
28574An''do n''t ye ken ye''re two weeks ahead of time for the tradin''?"
28574An''how comes it you''re trappin''way over here?
28574An''what you doin''trailin''this time o''night, anyway?"
28574An''where is the lad that was with ye?
28574An''you, Pierre Bonnet Rouge, where is the rest of your band?
28574And how did you come to be out of grub?"
28574And how does he catch them?
28574And how does it come there are so many of them and they are so easy to trap?"
28574And 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?"
28574And suppose we found a lynx in one of those snares?"
28574And the foxes that wore the collars?"
28574And they obey us-- why?
28574And what had happened to the wolf that lay dead in the snow?
28574And what if we should see a caribou?
28574And where are you are going?
28574And where do we get it?"
28574And where is he heading for?
28574And why did he stand there sniffing the air?
28574And, you''ll sure go with me?
28574Another opening?
28574Are you crazy?"
28574Are you going with me?"
28574At the hole that goes under the rocks?"
28574But what are threats between brothers?
28574But what can he do now?
28574But, son-- what''s the matter?
28574But, what in time do yo''want of him?
28574But,"she leaped to her feet and regarded Connie with a tense, eager look,"can it be that you are a doctor?"
28574Connie glanced at the big officer curiously:"Do you know who the other one was?"
28574D''ye mind I told ye I''d heard they was a free trader over in the Coppermine country?
28574D''you think I''m bluffin''?
28574Dan McKeever''ll be wantin''to know, when he comes along?"
28574Did he run up a high fever?"
28574Did he vomit?
28574Did n''t I tell you he''d out- guess''em?
28574Did n''t I tell you, Mac?
28574Did n''t he round up Bill Cosgrieve an''his Cameron Creek gang?
28574Did n''t the kid serve a year with me over in B Division?
28574Did n''t you see him lay holt of your wolf- dog?"
28574Did you an''Waseche Bill go broke?
28574Did you not see the plague flag?
28574Did you save the collars?
28574Do n''t you know that you ai n''t only got a few hours to live-- mebbe only a few minutes?"
28574Do n''t you never feel a hankerin''to be back in the service?
28574Do n''t you remember the other_ tamahnawus_--that turned out to be a man in a moose hide?
28574Do you expect me to sit here and believe any such rot as that?
28574Do you hear?
28574Drawn by Frank E. Schoonover]"Was drounded when he tried to shoot them Pelly Rapids about three jumps ahead of the police boat, was he?
28574Getting rid of Ton- Kan gets the odds down to two to one against me, but what will I do?
28574Glancing into the pale face, he asked abruptly:"Sick-- lunger?"
28574Go find him, ca n''t you?
28574Had 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?
28574Have you got any more of''em?"
28574How about the free trader that wo n''t handle liquor?"
28574How about them?"
28574How could he possibly have answered as soon as that?"
28574How he git t''rough de ice an''sit on de snow, eh?''
28574How kin I?
28574How long is your trap line, and where does it run?"
28574How many lynx are we going to get?"
28574How you goin''to cut firewood without you hold it with yer foot?"
28574I want you to tell me, though, what became of James Dean?
28574I wonder what became of him?"
28574I wonder who built that_ cache_?"
28574If dat is rope she goin''out pret''queek, ain''it?
28574If dey got mooch-- w''at you call_ tenas- man_?"
28574Is he fool enough to think I ai n''t a- goin''to bump him off?
28574Is he mixed up in this?"
28574Is he workin''with a pardner, that he expects''ll git here''fore mornin'', or what?
28574It seemed incredible that the brute had caught his scent against the wind, and yet, if not, why had he halted so suddenly?
28574Me-- I''m a- goin''to set right here an''see that yer figgerin''do n''t''mount to nothin''--see?"
28574Mostly, when you get there you''re disappointed-- but suppose you are?
28574Now, what about this Rainy person that stole the little kid''s milk?"
28574Oh, he ca n''t get in here, can he?"
28574Or Dan McKeever?
28574Or any of the boys?
28574Or be you goin''to leave me here''cause I burnt them pancakes?"
28574Or whether the chemist uses peroxide of magentum, or sweet spirits of rawhide, so he gits the gold?
28574Or, suppose the riverman very conveniently dropped the piece into the water where he could recover it again?
28574Pierre Bonnet Rouge lapsed into silence, and at length Connie asked:"But the_ cache_?
28574Say,''w''at you Injun goin''do?''
28574She ca n''t mak''de big fire?''
28574Suppose one of these pieces were dropped overboard by one of the none too careful half- breed rivermen?
28574Suppose we were compelled to ship silver dollars back and forth between here and Edmonton?
28574Surely he would know enough to go down hill to the creek, and follow it to the river, would n''t he?"
28574Tell me quick, son-- what''s the matter?"
28574Tell me, did not the good God tell you to come to me-- to save the little baby''s life?"
28574Tell me, is dere any God?"
28574That sound came from that high hill, did n''t it?"
28574The man shuddered:"It''s done by this time, an''--why do n''t he come?
28574Their attitude in regard to the troubles of others was the attitude of''Merican Joe when he had shrugged and asked,"W''at you care?"
28574Then, where''d we be?
28574Think you I would accept pay from my own brother?"
28574Thought we would n''t know Constable Morgan, of the Mounted, did you?
28574Thought you could fool us, did you, with yer lies about trappin''?
28574Thought you was some stuff, did n''t you?"
28574W''at dat mak''you mad som''wan sell Injun de_ hooch_?"
28574W''at you care you call um cat-- dog-- pig?
28574W''at you t''ink I''m keep''em out on de_ cache_ for?
28574W''ere you t''ink de stick go w''at we fix on de snare?"
28574Was not René a great boaster?
28574Was you born in servitude?"
28574Waseche appeared interested:"An''did they say he was as big as a cabin an''a ruff on him like the mainsail of a whaler?"
28574Waseche continued to glare as the newcomer addressed him:"Is this Mr. Antrim?
28574We will suppose that the beaver are becoming scarce around here; what do we do?
28574Well, it got you at last, did n''t it?
28574What did I throw in with him fer?
28574What does the free trader care?
28574What else could it be?"
28574What law have you broken?"
28574What makes you think it''s smallpox?"
28574What put it in your head to trap on the Coppermine?"
28574What was in that dark patch of brush?
28574What would Waseche do?
28574What would any men be doing up here?"
28574What would he have to charge for them?
28574What''re you standin''there fer?"
28574What''s the formation?"
28574What''s the matter with that?
28574What''s the matter with you anyhow?"
28574What''s the matter with you?"
28574What''s yourn?"
28574When I''m dead you can have the hill-- but you''ll look after them foxes, wo n''t you, boy?"
28574When can you start?"
28574Where you goin''?"
28574Where''s your nerve?"
28574Who be you?"
28574Who ever heard of anyone goin''''leven hundred miles into nowheres for to have fun?
28574Who is out here in the hills tying ermine collars on black foxes-- and why?
28574Who is there to tell?
28574Who talks of pay?
28574Who told you it was the red death?"
28574Who was it?"
28574Why are there many suns?"
28574Why do n''t Moran come?
28574Why do you always take upon yourself the troubles of others?"
28574Why had the great leader stayed until the snapping of the limb had frightened him away?
28574Why had the wolves burst from it in terror?
28574Will you go?"
28574Yo''mean kill him?"
28574You ain''see no track w''ere de stick drag, eh?"
28574You did n''t come through from Fairbanks in them things?"
28574You got nuff for de stake?"

28574You was some big noise on the Yukon, couple years back, was n''t you?
28574You were expecting me, sir?"
28574_ Connie Morgan?_"''Merican Joe nodded vehemently.
28574exploded the man,"what ails you anyway?
