16623	Is n''t that a sweet picture?
16623	Iss dat for why you iss paid?"
16623	It is strange, is n''t it?
16623	My house faces east and is built up against a side- hill, or should I say hillside?
16623	No?
16623	Now would n''t that little speech have made her welcome anywhere?
16623	Rather a dismal prospect, was n''t it?
16623	Shall I send them to you?
16623	She hobbled to the door and pounded with her poor twisted hands, calling all the while,"Cory, Cory Belle, what ails you?"
16623	Soon he asked,"Are you goin''somewheres or jist travelin''?"
16623	The branches had torn off the bag in which I had my bread, so it was lost in the forest, but who needs bread when they have good, mealy potatoes?
16623	Then he asked,"Air you spying around for one of them dinged game wardens arter that deer I killed yisteddy?"
16623	They suspected us of laughing at them, for Archie said to Aggie,"Aggie, lass, is it sport they are making of our love?"
16623	What d''e want to make it any worse for?"

16623	Winters, have you met Miss Em''ly?
16623	Wo n''t you make it easy to"''fess"so I may be happy again?
16623	You''d think I wanted you to homestead, would n''t you?
16623	he persisted,--"C.R., S.W., or H.C.?"
16623	he said;"are you goin''to camp here?"
37803	And I wonder if they''ll still be there when we get within range, if we ever manage it?
37803	And do you think it could be a grizzly?
37803	And now, do we pick out our trees, and squat in them waiting, for him to show up?
37803	And only a week back, you say, Tom?
37803	And so that scared''em off enough for you to get inside, where your gun was, did it?
37803	And the traps he said he had catched up here, do you reckon, now, they''ll be in decent condition, or rusted all to pieces?
37803	And what were you thinking of doing, then?
37803	And what''s in the wind then?
37803	And why did n''t you tell me about it, so I could look up too?
37803	Are you trying to throw a scare into me, Tom?
37803	Begins to seem like somebody lived here, eh?
37803	But I heard you shoot; did you get any fresh meat? 37803 But how about those horns?"
37803	But it''s smaller in the bargain,complained Tom;"do n''t you think you''d better let me have that one?"
37803	But we''ve got enough meat for awhile, have n''t we?
37803	But what are you going to do?
37803	But where d''ye suppose the beggar dropped to, and will we ever be able to get to him? 37803 But why?
37803	But you have n''t said a word to me about it; how long have you known?
37803	Did n''t you say he wanted you to try and lug the traps back, when we started for home again?
37803	Do n''t fancy the tune, perhaps?
37803	Do n''t mean to take any chances, eh?
37803	Do you expect to go up there, then, and have a look in?
37803	Do you mean, why did I fire those three shots?
37803	Do you think we can get down to where my fine old granddaddy buck fell?
37803	Give up the idea of that little hunt for today, Felix?
37803	Go on, and tell me about it; what did you see, the marks of his claws; or had he thrown a lot of bones out of his old den, to make room? 37803 Have you got our route all mapped out above here?"
37803	How about that cache?
37803	How d''ye make that out, Tom?
37803	How does it suit you?
37803	How far away do you live?
37803	How''s that?
37803	However do you expect we''re going to get up there?
37803	I got him, did n''t I, Tom?
37803	If he can stand that howl, he''s equal to anything,the latter remarked, as they finished;"see any signs of our friend yet, Tom?"
37803	Is that any better?
37803	Look at him shake his head, would you, Felix? 37803 Looky here, Tom, do you mean a grizzly?"
37803	Nice to have such a warm welcome, eh, when you get to your future snug home? 37803 Not taking time to bother with the hide tonight, then?"
37803	Say, what d''ye mean ashootin''our dawgs thataways?
37803	Seven all told, in sight, Tom?
37803	Shall we try one more? 37803 Sing?"
37803	Suits me fine; do you really mean it?
37803	That means climb a tree, I take it, eh, Tom?
37803	That would be sort of climbing up on our reverses, and making them pay a profit, would n''t it? 37803 That''s where he enters, is it?"
37803	Then I suppose you just opened the little window, and gave the sassy beasts one, two, three, eh, Felix?
37803	Then some party has been around here a short time ago? 37803 Then you''ve found out where he lives, when he''s at home?"
37803	Think so?
37803	Well, I do n''t suppose you could induce the grizzly to try that same thing; but if he did, you''d think it all right then to plug him, would you? 37803 What d''ye suppose we carried that rope along for if not to use it?
37803	What did I tell you, Felix?
37803	What for? 37803 What for?"
37803	What was it, Felix?
37803	What was that?
37803	Whatever do you suppose killed this deer?
37803	Why, what did you think it could be?
37803	You mean about his being home, or away I reckon?
37803	You said that Old Sol had n''t been up here for several seasons now, did n''t you, Tom?
37803	All ready, are you, Felix?"
37803	And what would Tom want to camp here for in front of the place?
37803	Any idea what sort of a man the hunter was?"
37803	Are cowboys braver than old hunters, that they take such chances?"
37803	Be careful, wo n''t you?"
37803	Besides, would he not have been torn to pieces by the fierce animals, only for his ability to handle that faithful rifle?
37803	Bet you his eyes are that full of smoke he ca n''t see as well as he might, and he''s rubbin''''em with his paws, would you believe it?
37803	But do you see anything that looks like that blessed old dugout?"
37803	Ca n''t you think of something else that has been on your mind more or less for a long time back?"
37803	Come on, tell me what you did, Felix?"
37803	D''ye mean to say they waylaid you there?
37803	Do you think there might be another inside?
37803	Excuse me for asking; but I''m that hungry for a bite of venison I''ll have to forget my manners, Tom?"
37803	Get that, Felix?"
37803	Have n''t found a wolf''s den, have you, with some cubs in it?
37803	He''d have us in a lovely hole now, would n''t he?
37803	How are we going to dislodge that cat, Tom?"
37803	How could a paper interest wolves?
37803	How does that agree with what you''re saying now?
37803	How is it now?
37803	However in the wide world did you keep them off till you grabbed up the gun?"
37803	I get that, all right, Tom; is there where you saw his head sticking out?"
37803	I''d hate to have any critter make way with it, after going to all the trouble I did, eh, Felix?"
37803	I''d like to meet him, would n''t you, Tom?"
37803	If only he could bring home a pail of delicious honey, what would Felix say?
37803	It sure does n''t seem like time for our noon lunch?
37803	Naturally they expected having a glorious time, as what boy, with a love for the woods and the chase, would not?
37803	No matter what it is, we want that shack, do n''t we, Tom?"
37803	Now, Old Claws, will you be good?"
37803	Now, what are you going to tell me?
37803	Now, what''ll we sing?"
37803	Shall we give it up, Tom?"
37803	So just skip out, please-- do you hear, you beggar?"
37803	That would be fine news, would n''t it, now?"
37803	That''s the ticket, Tom; smoke the old rascal out?"
37803	Think you own the earth, do n''t you?
37803	Tom nodded his head, and simply remarked:"What did I tell you?
37803	Trees would n''t figure in it that time, eh?"
37803	Want any help?"
37803	Was that a groan he heard; or did some wild animal give vent to a sound?
37803	What could he do to frighten the beast away?
37803	What d''ye mean upsetting it that way?
37803	What had we better do, Tom?"
37803	What if a howling storm should swoop down upon them, while they were away from the cabin and up here in this elevated eyrie?
37803	What would he not have been willing to pay for a little box of safety matches, that sell for a penny in town?
37803	Which tree do you want, Felix?"
37803	Which was it, Tom?"
37803	Who cares for you?"
37803	Why was it he had so poor a sense of direction, he could not say?
37803	You shot something, did n''t you?"
37803	but ai n''t he just a jim dandy, though?
37803	echoed Felix,"do you think that''s all it was?
37803	he exclaimed, pointing to one side;"what''s been going on, d''ye suppose?
37803	how about the day after tomorrow?"
37803	my, ai n''t he mad as hops, though?"
37803	then you made the discovery while we were coming down the mountain; is that it, Tom?"
37803	what did I tell you, old boy?"
37803	would you hear that, now?"
27522	''An angular person in a gray suit?"
27522	''Harriet, her given name?"
27522	''How much are the tickets?"
27522	''How-- how long would she be gone?"
27522	''The language?"
27522	''Whose child is that out there on the lawn?"
27522	''Why, what''s the matter?"
27522	''You really think,"asked Jess, a little worried in tone, I thought,"you really think it''s likely to be a job for life?"
27522	''Do you remember how, with cheers for St. Helen''s and groans for Athens, we bequeathed Greenie to the Ancient World last winter? 27522 ''The question before the assembly now was-- Should we or should we not visit the third trap?
27522	After all, it''s better to come away like this, is n''t it?
27522	Alec,she whispered,"the cherries on my bonnet?
27522	And which will you do?
27522	Apiece, you mean, or together?
27522	Are n''t the mountains way off there blue?
27522	Ca n''t we even come to call?
27522	Ca n''t you sleep, Vivian?
27522	Did n''t you never see one before?
27522	Did you ever see such queer people in your life?
27522	Did you really have a splendid time, Vivian?
27522	Do n''t you like it, Don?
27522	Do n''t you want us to homestead for you, Jean, while you''re away?
27522	Does n''t anything grow on those hills but little trees and sagebrush?
27522	Honestly, have n''t you-- all your life?
27522	How far is it to the nearest house?
27522	I never felt so important in all my life, did you, Virginia?
27522	If Donald thought we were n''t going to make it, why did n''t he camp here himself?
27522	Indians?
27522	Is n''t it fun?
27522	Is n''t it still?
27522	Is n''t it the loveliest thing in all the world for Dorothy to do?
27522	Is the Emperor old?
27522	Is this the way you receive my guests?
27522	It makes you feel like whispering, does n''t it?
27522	It would n''t be so bad to grow old if you could be sure of being like that, would it?
27522	It''s just like a secret, is n''t it, hidden away up here? 27522 It_ is_ sagebrush, is n''t it?
27522	Mary, what do you think? 27522 Mr. Hunter,"gasped Vivian when the new man had taken the horses,"do you know who he is?
27522	Never-- been-- afraid-- of-- anything?
27522	Oh, Don,she cried,"is n''t it wonderful?
27522	Oh, are n''t they happy? 27522 Out of money?"
27522	Pedro,she said at last, her voice breaking,"I guess perhaps we''d better go home, do n''t you?
27522	Remember Eben Judd''s girl who kept the school last spring? 27522 Safe, Nan?
27522	Sha n''t I get your horse ready for you, ma''am?
27522	So much of a tenderfoot as that?
27522	Supplies is all right, deary,said she,"but who''s going to cook them?"
27522	The story, Aunt Deborah, about the Indian coming into the hut?
27522	Then you wo n''t go back to Cripple Creek?
27522	Was n''t she funny this afternoon when she said good- by, her hat on one side and her hair all falling down, and her eyes full of tears? 27522 Was you plannin''to ford, young ladies?"
27522	What child?
27522	What do you suppose they''re doing now?
27522	What does the paper say?
27522	What shall we do about the door?
27522	What was that?
27522	What''s that?
27522	What''s the matter?
27522	When is it dated?
27522	Where are they? 27522 Where shall I begin?"
27522	Who is he, Virginia?
27522	Why not invite us to supper?
27522	Why so quiet, Vivian?
27522	Will you stay or go away after it is yours?
27522	You New England folks are strong on crests and mottoes and that sort of thing, are n''t you?
27522	You do n''t feel you''re going to be-- too grown- up, do you?
27522	You do n''t know her, do you?
27522	You know who he is, do n''t you? 27522 You say she was your teacher?"
27522	You''re feeling better, are n''t you?
27522	Your German? 27522 Your garden?"
27522	A. W.''""Rustle?"
27522	Ai n''t afraid o''big boys, are you?"
27522	Ai n''t there a likely one among''em?
27522	And Mary?
27522	And is n''t the sky blue?
27522	And so you all come from away back East-- the place we used to call home?
27522	And you know Virginia Hunter?"
27522	And, oh, Don, is n''t this morning perfect?
27522	Are all the girls Vigilantes, Virginia-- Mary and Priscilla and Vivian?"
27522	Are n''t you, Aunt Deborah?"
27522	Are there many big ones?"
27522	CHAPTER VII THE VIGILANTES HOMESTEAD"John, do you really think it''s safe?"
27522	CHAPTER XIII ON THE MESA"Pedro,"said Virginia,"do you realize for one little minute what''s happened?"
27522	Could it be the meadow- lark of which Virginia had always spoken?
27522	Do Jack and Carver ride, do you suppose?"
27522	Do n''t you call that pretty good?
27522	Do n''t you call that pretty good?''"
27522	Do n''t you like it?"
27522	Do n''t you think so, too?"
27522	Do n''t you think that''s a fairly good explanation?
27522	Do you remember a year ago, Don?
27522	Do you think that fact would give Vivian an extra amount of courage if she said it over a thousand times?
27522	Does n''t it twinkle?
27522	Does n''t that make it a little easier, do n''t you think?"
27522	Does n''t that make the ending just perfect?"
27522	Everybody ready?
27522	Everything went all right up there, did n''t it, Virginia-- on the mountain, I mean?"
27522	Given insanity and a gun, what would be the demonstration?
27522	Had n''t we best go in for a moment?
27522	Had she discovered the trail which, like the Milky Way, led to them?
27522	Had the big Jarvis boy triumphed after all, and made Mary a prisoner?
27522	Had the school adjourned and gone for a picnic in the woods?
27522	He''s been queer ever since that night on the mountain-- last Tuesday, was n''t it?
27522	He''s not going to stay here after he has something to eat, is he, Mr. Hunter?
27522	How are you on arithmetic?"
27522	How would it seem, she wondered, to gallop alone through this country?
27522	I do n''t believe it can give the best kind of happiness, do you?
27522	I do n''t believe that any one could look at the mountains and the stars and ever be doubtful about-- God and-- and-- things like that, do you?"
27522	I guess we can see to undress by moonlight, ca n''t we?"
27522	I think Mary''s like the larkspur in the Valley, do n''t you?
27522	I wonder what Vivian''s like?
27522	Is it at the creek Carver''s going to meet you?"
27522	Is n''t he about your Aunt Nan''s age?
27522	Is n''t it splendid of him?
27522	It is still, is n''t it?"
27522	It''s most eleven, is n''t it?"
27522	It''s three o''clock now,"she continued, consulting her watch,"and I do n''t think it would be a bad plan to get settled and consider supper, do you?"
27522	Makes you sound about forty- five, does n''t it?"
27522	Oh, what are you going to do?"
27522	Oh, wo n''t it be the happiest time?
27522	Priscilla, why do n''t you take one of Jean''s rods and follow up the creek?
27522	Sagebrush Point, Don-- at the open place?
27522	Shall we drink a few more bugs?"
27522	Should one just stand still or walk back and forth, dragging the line after her?
27522	Should she hurry through four cars and tell the others that they might see him also?
27522	Should she send the porter?
27522	Signals all right?
27522	Tell me, Don, are you just as excited inside as I am?"
27522	The question was-- should she do anything more than wait?
27522	The sermon was on"Vigilance"--wasn''t that strange?
27522	There''s no difference any longer, is there, Virginia?"
27522	Was that your errand?"
27522	We gazed at one another blankly Money gone-- hope gone-- what should we do?
27522	Were one''s chances of success greater if she wiggled the rod?
27522	What are you doin''here, miss?
27522	What are you doing away up here anyway?
27522	What did they look like?
27522	What do you think, Alec?
27522	What do you think, John?
27522	What does it say?
27522	What relation will that make you and me?"
27522	What then must Aunt Deborah''s be?
27522	What was she to do?
27522	What were those best things, she wondered?
27522	What would Carver say when he knew?
27522	What_ would_ the Winthrop family say?
27522	Whatever shall I tell people who inquire?
27522	When do you suppose it will happen?"
27522	When will the others get home, do you suppose?"
27522	When will you be back?"
27522	Where are those girls anyway?
27522	Where had they all come from?
27522	Where is the next shady spot, Virginia?
27522	Where was everybody?
27522	Which will you do, ride or stay?"
27522	Who Goes There?
27522	Who at that joyous moment would have thought that she would again and so soon enter our lives?
27522	Who knew that there were not?
27522	Why are all the trees out here those tall cottonwoods?"
27522	Why did not Carver come?
27522	Why not one here as well as farther up the canyon where they had caught that monster from the sight of which she had not yet recovered?
27522	Why not pick some of the raspberries which grew in profusion near by, and cook a quart of them as winter preserves for the ranger?
27522	Why should Mr. Crusoe want to go to the root- cellar?
27522	Wo n''t they all just love it?
27522	Wo n''t you walk to the office and see Miss Green?
27522	Would you rather wait to hear it, Aunt Nan, until you''ve read your mail?"
27522	Would you take my quirt?
27522	Yes, Virginia, what is it?"
27522	You do n''t feel afraid, do you?"
27522	You do n''t think I will, do you?"
27522	You remember Horace upon his Sabine farm?
27522	You remember it, do n''t you?"
27522	You see, he''s been reigning twenty- five years, has n''t he, Don?"
27522	You think he''ll fit in all right, do n''t you, Virginia?
27522	You will, wo n''t you?"
27522	You''ll write from every large place, wo n''t you, Priscilla?"
27522	_ Where were the traps?
37271	Am I growling, Jack? 37271 And if I go wrong you''ll help me meet the consequences, even though you would rather I chose the other way?"
37271	And you do feel it your duty this time, do n''t you, Frieda?
37271	But I do n''t feel like a daughter to you, Jim, and never have, certainly not as a little girl, so why should I begin now? 37271 But are the men practicing lassoing this afternoon?
37271	But suppose I should want to do something? 37271 But suppose it would not do me harm, but bring me great happiness, what then?"
37271	But suppose they do n''t go well? 37271 But what do you desire then, Jacqueline Kent?
37271	But what is the great career to be?
37271	But you have n''t anything_ different_ to say, have you, Frieda, so why let us talk of it at all?
37271	But you will let me see you attempt it again? 37271 Can that be a herd of horses or cattle stampeding there toward the east, Jim?
37271	Do you suppose things quieted down as soon as I disappeared?
37271	Do you think we will know to- night without doubt?
37271	Do you think, Mrs. Kent, a fellow is apt to forget a girl who could ride and hunt and shoot better than nearly any young man in Wyoming? 37271 Frieda, in spite of all your sweetness, do n''t you realize that you are rather hard sometimes?
37271	Good gracious, Jack, is n''t that Ralph on his way here this instant? 37271 Has it given you more than most people, Jack?
37271	How do you think you are going to make yourself heard in Washington if you ca n''t be heard here?
37271	How far has the bargain gone?
37271	How long has she been ill and why have n''t you let me know?
37271	I have come to ask you, Jack, if there is any possibility of your accepting the offer which was made you to- day? 37271 I suppose I should not dare attempt to find if I have altogether lost my skill?"
37271	I wonder if you can tell me the name of the town where Jim was hurt yesterday?
37271	I wonder what there can be ahead for me, Ralph? 37271 Is that you, Jack?"
37271	Making an exhibition of yourself, Jack?
37271	May I, or may I not, Jim?
37271	No, Jim, and why should you?
37271	Nothing has happened, Frieda? 37271 Now tell me, did n''t you go over to the village on the day you were hurt because you heard I was to make a speech and there might be trouble?
37271	Oh, perhaps I may be your opponent some day, who knows?
37271	Olive had that same absurd attitude toward you as a girl, did n''t she, Jack? 37271 Olive, was there ever so much worldly wisdom possessed by any one person as by Mrs. Henry Tilford Russell?
37271	One is so glad to find something or some one to talk about in a small community, is n''t one?
37271	Perhaps it is a bit premature to talk of my running for Congress, Mrs. Kent, but if I do may I count on your support?
37271	Should she or should she not? 37271 So you are thinking of playing Lady Nancy Astor in the United States?
37271	Still, having done your duty, do n''t you think that after all I may be allowed to use my own judgment in this decision? 37271 Suppose I would have spoken first of being tired, although I am tired straight through, if things had worked out as we hoped?
37271	Tell me, Jim, is that Jimmie''s pony ahead of us? 37271 That is rather a tall order, do n''t you think, Frieda?"
37271	The blow on your head occasioned a loss of memory?
37271	Then why did n''t you let me hear this morning? 37271 Think I would not already have told you, Jean, if they were?"
37271	Tired?
37271	Trying to run away into your beloved outdoors in the usual fashion, Jack?
37271	Trying, Billy? 37271 Vain of you, do n''t you think?"
37271	Want me to give up trying to manage the ranch, Jim? 37271 Well, what is the news?"
37271	What''s the trouble, Jean?
37271	What?
37271	Why a present for me? 37271 Why not you, Senator, if Mrs. Kent is elected to office from Wyoming?
37271	Why should I have been annoyed, Frieda? 37271 Will you bring Mrs. Kent''s horse back to the Rainbow lodge?
37271	Will you come in? 37271 Wo n''t you let some of the other little girls come down to the lodge and stay with me?"
37271	Would it bore the men dreadfully to have me take part, do you think? 37271 Yes?
37271	Yet, Frieda, you feel I ought to question Ralph when Jim, who is his dear friend, is unwilling? 37271 You are a Republican, are n''t you?"
37271	You are n''t going to turn poet, or painter, or actress, Jack, after displaying no fondness for the arts in all these years?
37271	You are not sleepy, are you? 37271 You do desire it, wish to give up your title and all it means in England, and even in the United States for that matter?
37271	You do n''t intend by any chance to be my opponent?
37271	You do n''t think I would be too great a bore? 37271 You will be the talk of the countryside, Jacqueline Kent, and who knows where else?"
37271	You wo n''t tell the family what I have done, will you, please, Jim?
37271	A woman without a country?"
37271	Absurd under the circumstances, yet Jack blushed furiously and then laughed:"Am I never, never to cease to hear of my ridiculous exploit?
37271	After all, why was Jack not at home to explain her own eccentricity?
37271	Afterwards what happened, Jim?
37271	Am I not the last person in the world you would ever have dreamed attempting a public speech?
37271	And after the rumpus began and Jimmie and I were safely on the way home did n''t you try to find out who was responsible for the discourtesy to me?
37271	And did n''t you arrive so late you felt it best not to tell me to go home, because I had already started to speak?
37271	And is it fair of you to blame me when I am unsuccessful?
37271	And suppose what I wanted to do should become my heart''s desire?
37271	Apologize for me, wo n''t you?
37271	Appreciating her own lack of knowledge and of training for the task ahead, why not decline at once and for all time ever to consider it?
37271	Are you more disappointed over that wretched election than you have been willing to confess?
37271	Are you not more willing to let me be of assistance to you until you are able to repay me?
37271	Are you staying in your own country because you wish to be a famous woman some day and the United States offers the best opportunity?"
37271	Are you very deeply disappointed?"
37271	Besides, if she were honest, frank, and open- minded, would it not be a wonderful experience?
37271	Besides, why worry?
37271	But I----""See here, do n''t you think you have said enough, John?"
37271	But do you think you will be happy, that is the main thing?
37271	But of course with Jim looking after the branding of the new calves this afternoon what chance have I of Jimmie''s being anywhere near?"
37271	CHAPTER XVI THE ELECTION"When do you think we will hear, Jack?"
37271	Do I hear correctly that you mean to resume your American nationality as soon as you can go through the necessary formalities?"
37271	Do n''t you suppose I have guessed the greater part of it?"
37271	Do n''t you think Jean has had a long enough period of agony and suspense?
37271	Do the others know?"
37271	Do they think me a kind of wild west show?
37271	Do you realize that if one is out of practice roping is a fairly dangerous sport, Mrs. Kent?
37271	Do you suppose you could speak to him?
37271	Does that not make a difference?
37271	From the first had she not warned her sister that public speech making would lead to something more disastrous?
37271	Goodness, is that one of our formidable neighbors approaching?
37271	Had she altogether forgotten her past prowess?
37271	Had she forgotten how exhilarating, how thrilling the lassoing was?
37271	Has Jim come back?
37271	Have I not warned her that she could never make a public speech?
37271	He ca n''t be anywhere near- by?"
37271	How dared you ride over the ranch alone when I have told you it was forbidden?
37271	I am not so impossible a person, am I?
37271	I presume you realize that if you accept you will be my opponent?
37271	I wonder if Jack is the beauty these days or Olive?
37271	I wonder if any one of us would be as courageous in her present circumstances?
37271	I wonder if life will ever teach you to be different?"
37271	I wonder if that is why life seems to find it necessary to give me so many knocks?"
37271	If Ralph were unable to return home as he had anticipated why had he not telegraphed?
37271	If she were elected to Congress would she ever be the old- time Jack again?
37271	Is Jim in his room, or has he gone with Jean and the little girls?"
37271	Is Peace very ill?"
37271	Is there any order you wish to give, or any message?
37271	Is there to be a contest?"
37271	It is all right, is n''t it?"
37271	It would not be pleasant to have Jim disappear as Ralph Merritt has, would it?
37271	Jacqueline Kent laughed:"Frieda dear, do n''t I always try?
37271	Jimmie ca n''t have ridden over here alone?
37271	Kent?"
37271	May I be introduced to the three men who are here, if they do n''t mind?"
37271	May an American woman who has married a foreigner after the death of her husband assume her former nationality if she so desires?"
37271	No one ever gives me a present any more, and who is it from?"
37271	Olive, what about you and Bryan?"
37271	Peace is all right, and Professor Russell and the others?"
37271	Politics seem to me a great career, perhaps the greatest of all careers, these days, so may I congratulate you?"
37271	Ralph has been away over a year, has n''t he, working always at the mine in New Mexico and writing regularly?
37271	Remember, Frieda dear, when you planned to be a florist and to rescue the family by selling violets?
37271	Remember, I believe firmly that we shall hear from Ralph within the next few days, or the next few hours, who knows?
37271	Shall we go indoors to enjoy her visit?
37271	She meant to win, else why the struggle and the fatigue and, more often than she confessed, the heartache?
37271	So why the present discussion?
37271	So why were you not the person, as Lady Astor was in England?
37271	Suppose we ask an old friend of yours, Peter Stevens, whether at present you are an American citizen or a British subject?
37271	Ten minutes later, leaning back in the car with her eyes closed, Jack demanded:"Were you pleased with me this afternoon, Frieda Ralston Russell?
37271	Then arriving there, how did you manage to get into the midst of a rough- and- tumble fight?
37271	Then may I borrow some one''s horse?
37271	Then she called softly,"Jean, Jean, what has become of everybody?
37271	Try it with me some day, wo n''t you?
37271	Want a career, Jacqueline Ralston Kent?
37271	Was there anywhere else in the world such a wide sweep of country, such plains and prairies and desert sands covered with sage brush and cacti?
37271	What do you suppose we ought to do about it, Jim?"
37271	What do you think I might be able to do, Jim?
37271	What does the boy himself wish to do, stay here at the ranch and learn to be a ranchman under my training, or go back to Kent House?"
37271	What influence do you suppose your sermons will now have among the cowboys?
37271	What is it you really think, Jean?"
37271	What is it?
37271	What is the news?"
37271	What is your heart''s desire, Jim Colter?"
37271	What will you do with yourself?
37271	Who ever heard of such a foolish title?
37271	Why did I ever think I could?
37271	Why should we be so much more conservative than England?
37271	Will you come indoors or shall we walk about among your old violet beds?
37271	Will you ride back to the lodge to dinner with me?"
37271	Wo n''t you at least promise me to talk to Jim Colter and to ask his advice before you leave?"
37271	Wo n''t you be my wife, Jack, and go with me to Washington in that capacity and not as my political adversary?
37271	Would her neighbors judge her action so harshly that it would interfere with their friendliness toward her?
37271	Would she actually need him more, or was it because he cared more for her need than for any possible human demand that could be made upon him?
37271	Would she or would she not?"
37271	Would you hate it if I should take an interest in politics?
37271	Would you withhold it from me, Jim?"
37271	Yet in what way had he been hurt and how serious was his injury?
37271	Yet on the other hand, had she the right to evade so wonderful an opportunity?
37271	Yet what does it matter, now you are at home?
37271	Yet you wo n''t desert me if the worst happens, Frieda?"
37271	You are sure you can not stay longer, not even for tea?"
37271	You ca n''t have everything, you know, be a public character and a----""And a human being?
37271	You feel sure you will not regret your decision?
37271	You would dislike the idea very much, would n''t you, Senator Marshall?"
34928	Are you glad I found you because you care for me, Jack?
34928	But has it ever occurred to any one of you where we are to put her? 34928 But we are getting all we can, are n''t we?
34928	But would n''t Frank have enjoyed this long ride with you this morning, Jack?
34928	But, Frieda, baby,Jack protested,"are n''t you and Professor Russell also out here, as you call it?
34928	Dear old Jack, was there ever anyone else in the world quite so generous or so absurd? 34928 Did Olive tell you to say that to me?
34928	Did n''t you hear a slight noise then?
34928	Do n''t you know that these jewels are heirlooms in the Kent family, that they always belong to the wife of the eldest son? 34928 Do n''t you think, Jim,"she asked,"that Ralph had better not go down to his old quarters to sleep tonight?
34928	Do n''t you?
34928	Do you, Jean?
34928	Frank,she asked more wistfully than she herself realized,"wo n''t you promise not to talk about your feeling for me for a time?
34928	Giovanni''s?
34928	Girls,said a reproachful voice suddenly,"is this the way you keep your sacred promise to me to rest until dinner time?
34928	Have I said that I had changed my mind about Merrit?
34928	Have you heaps of letters, Jack? 34928 How can I tell what a lot of crazy, obstinate men are going to do?
34928	I am right not to speak of this trouble Ralph Merrit is having with the men at Rainbow Mine, do n''t you think so, Jim?
34928	I do n''t see why you should be so glad, Ralph?
34928	I wonder if you could come somewhere with me for a little while, where we could talk without any one else seeing us?
34928	I wonder if you will tell me if you were happy in your married life? 34928 Is n''t everything all right, Baby?
34928	Is n''t our visitor to be Frank Kent?
34928	Jack dear, what has Carlos done or said?
34928	Jack, have you heard anything more about when Miss Winthrop and Olive are planning to come for their visit to us?
34928	Jean,Jack asked,"I wonder if you happen to know where Ralph Merrit is?
34928	Jean,the older woman''s voice had quite changed and was now both cold and stern,"I wonder what kind of a partnership you think marriage is?
34928	Jim,he asked,"may I make a promise to you?
34928	May I have a turn at guessing, please?
34928	Nothing has happened to Jimmikins since I have been away? 34928 Oh, do n''t you?"
34928	Oh, they say that, do they?
34928	Ralph? 34928 Sleep on the divan in the living room tonight, wo n''t you?
34928	Tell us about the new miners, wo n''t you please, Ralph,she asked,"their names and where some of them came from-- anything you know?
34928	Then why wo n''t Frieda ride with us?
34928	Well, why not?
34928	What are you talking about, Ralph Merrit?
34928	What could Olive''s words mean? 34928 What do you suppose that a man who dabbles in Egyptology for an amusement would send as a bouquet to a baby?"
34928	What right have you anyhow to consider that my feeling for you has any connection with Frank Kent? 34928 What''s the trouble with me, Raines, as a boss?"
34928	Whatever are you doing out here? 34928 Where is Jack, Olive?"
34928	Who is it you are going to send for to come to the ranch?
34928	Who is that thin man over there all by himself in the blue overalls and old hat? 34928 Why did n''t I tell you at once?
34928	Why should n''t a fellow like a compliment as well as a girl?
34928	Why, Jean, where have you come from? 34928 Will Jack Ralston ever learn to be less reckless about her riding, Jim?"
34928	Wo n''t you wait a minute, please?
34928	You are glad, are n''t you?
34928	You are not disputing that statement, are you?
34928	You believe that Jack really cares for me?
34928	And if it is true, dear, do n''t you feel that we have been close enough to each other to have you make me your confidant?"
34928	And if she had found no answer to them, how could any one else?
34928	And since he had a confession to make, why not begin with her to whom it would be hardest to say it?
34928	And was it not for her sake that Carlos had left his own tribe and taken upon himself many of the ways of the white man?
34928	And where are you going to find a place for any one else at Rainbow Lodge?"
34928	Because if she were, what was standing in the way of their engagement?
34928	Besides, did she not really wish to let Ralph know just how she felt about him?
34928	Besides, had she not had many joys in the past and Olive for many years so few?
34928	But I do n''t see just why he should be so specially severe upon girls?"
34928	But afterwards what should they do?
34928	But dear me, what does he mean by coming in at the front door without knocking?"
34928	But do you happen to have anything in your pocket more substantial than beef tea?
34928	But in any case, girl, do n''t you see I have got to go down before the others?
34928	But what could have happened, what caused the explosion?
34928	But what has become of him recently, for now I think of it I have not seen him before for several days?"
34928	But what is all this mystery about anyway?
34928	But what was making Jacqueline so unusually quiet?
34928	But where is Ralph?
34928	But you brought me home safely after all, did n''t you, Carlos?"
34928	CHAPTER XII TWO CONVERSATIONS"JACK, you have not played fair with me; what is it that has happened?"
34928	CHAPTER XV AN UNFORTUNATE DISCUSSION"BUT why wo n''t either Jean or Frieda come with us?"
34928	Can you guess of any possible obstacle to Jack''s feeling for me?"
34928	Colter-- Ruth?"
34928	Could it be possible that Ralph Merrit''s difficulties were graver than they suspected?
34928	Could it be possible that she was going to marry solely for position?
34928	Could n''t you ask him to tell you?
34928	Could she ever really be happy with this thought in the back of her mind?
34928	Did he say whether he was going to have dinner with us tonight or with the men at the Ranch House?"
34928	Did she really and truly seem to mean it?"
34928	Do let me have him do it, Jack darling, please?
34928	Do n''t you see that I just ca n''t think about anything else now?"
34928	Do you care for him, Jean?"
34928	Do you suppose that I have no pride and no self- respect?"
34928	Do you think it would make any difference if I go and talk to him for a few moments?
34928	Do you think that when men go into business together that one brings everything to the firm and the other nothing?
34928	Does it bore you so dreadfully to have only me as a companion?
34928	For did she not have health, youth, plenty of money and an adoring family?
34928	For goodness sake tell me what ever induced a sensible, level- headed fellow like we all believed you were to do such a stupid thing?"
34928	For had she not merely succeeded in mortifying her friend without arriving one bit nearer the truth which she sought?
34928	For he had written: MY LADY OF THE LONE TRAIL: Are you not weary of the life and the ways of the white women and men?
34928	For in the light of her present revelation had she not at last felt a weight lifting itself from her own heart and a clear vision come to her mind?
34928	For was not Jack''s recent question to her the keynote of the whole puzzling situation?
34928	For what in heaven''s name had become of Jacqueline Ralston at this critical moment?
34928	For whatever had inspired Frieda to dress up as she had?
34928	For why did Jack fail to return Frank''s affection?
34928	Gracious, girls, who is that knocking?
34928	Had Jack been under some cruelly false impression?"
34928	Had she ever seen her cousin more animated or more interested?
34928	Had she not actually shed tears in secret?
34928	Had she not at one time seemed to be an Indian like himself?
34928	Had she not been raised among the Indian people and did she not comprehend their shy, proud natures?
34928	Had she not lived among them, eaten their food and spoken their speech?
34928	Had they ever felt or shown any difference between her and themselves in the right to everything they possessed?
34928	Has n''t she manners enough to say''howdy''to two fellows who have nearly ridden themselves to death?"
34928	Have I not stayed quietly here waiting and watching for you, learning many things which I have hated, that we might not fail to understand each other?
34928	He has not cut a tooth or anything, has he, Ruth?"
34928	He is taught to read and write, and he asks''for what?''
34928	How can she make up her mind to marry a foreigner instead of an American?
34928	How could she truthfully present the situation to Frank, as it appeared to her, without putting Olive in an impossible position?
34928	How often have Mr. Colter and I told you that you were never to do it?
34928	I could n''t exactly propose to you, could I, dear?"
34928	I received your letter and you want to know what I think of it?"
34928	I wonder if Jim knows him?"
34928	I wonder if it can be the far- away guest and friend, who arrived this afternoon by the iron trail of the prairies?"
34928	I wonder if they can be dissatisfied with Ralph''s management?
34928	I wonder if they will be back in time for dinner?"
34928	I wonder just what Giovanni would receive in exchange for all he has to give?"
34928	I wonder what the boy''s exact reason is?
34928	Is it because you have had a better position offered you?
34928	Is n''t it dreadful that you are going away so soon, Jack, dearest, after all our work and planning?
34928	Is n''t the room as lovely as you expected?"
34928	Is there any other girl in America who would not care more than you do for Frank''s splendid position and all the rest of it?
34928	It is a pity she did not have a son, is n''t it?
34928	It is a queer and interesting state of things, is n''t it?"
34928	It seemed almost cruel to force her jaded horse at such a pace through the loose sands; yet how else could she ever hope to catch up with her escort?
34928	Moreover, did they believe that she would miss Olive''s home- coming?
34928	Must she ask Jack if this were true?
34928	Now may we go to meet him?"
34928	OLD FRIENDS AND SOMETHING MORE 254 LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, RALPH MERRITT?"
34928	Oh, children, what made me fall in love with an Englishman and one who may inherit a title?
34928	Russell?"
34928	Ruth, you and Jim would want Jack to have the place after she marries and has children, would n''t you?
34928	She asks if she may bring Miss Winthrop along with her for a visit?"
34928	Should she take a walk now, or go down to Rainbow Mine to see if anything was going on?
34928	Suppose by some miracle Jean should in time learn to care for him, what would he have to offer her?
34928	Tell us, please, what has happened to Ralph?"
34928	The Prince, your husband?"
34928	The three girls were seriously annoyed and Jack spoke sharply:"Carlos, what do you mean by entering our room without asking permission?
34928	Then perhaps in answer to the thought in the mind of every person in the room Jim ended abruptly:"Where''s Jack?
34928	Then since Jack Ralston''s return to the ranch had she not resolutely refused to let Frank Kent come to see her until Olive was also at the Lodge?
34928	Then why had he recently become so disheartened and dissatisfied?
34928	Then would she have the courage to rush out to his defense as Jack undoubtedly would have, no matter what overtook her?
34928	Was Jack in love with Frank?
34928	Was this a big wax doll about to take her place next him?"
34928	We do like Frank better than any one we know, do n''t we?
34928	What a hopeless, horrid puzzle it all was and of all persons was not Jacqueline Ralston the most inadequate for straightening it out?
34928	What annoying freak had possessed Carlos to ride off with her horse without offering any explanation?
34928	What could have been the matter with her?
34928	What could she do to amuse herself?
34928	What could she say?
34928	What could the miners be wishing with Ralph that they must see him at once, now when they knew that Jim Colter was not on the ranch?
34928	What do you think I beheld our baby doing the other day?
34928	What does Frank mean to me?"
34928	What else was there to wish for?
34928	What has become of Frieda lately anyhow-- I almost never see her except at meal times?"
34928	What has happened to put you in so evil a mood?"
34928	What in the world was that?"
34928	What is going on down at the mine?
34928	What might not happen to him?
34928	What more does it teach him of the woods and the fields, of the beauty and imagery of nature, of all that he cares to know?
34928	What on earth did the boy have in mind to do?
34928	What was the matter with her?
34928	What would Frank have had to say in the matter?"
34928	When would Ruth teach Jim that he was not to tease the Ranch girls before strangers just as if they were tiny children?
34928	Who had made a mistake?
34928	Who is he, Ruth, a stranger or an old friend?
34928	Who would ever have suspected the Professor of such exquisite taste?
34928	Why ca n''t you ever ask a young man''s advice, Ralph Merrit-- you are young yourself?"
34928	Why did she continue to treat him with such disregard and yet keep him lingering on at the ranch?
34928	Why do you consider that an Italian is different from other men?
34928	Why had Jim brought up two of the wounded men and left the third, their oldest friend, still in the depth of Rainbow Mine?
34928	Why had Merrit not warned him of what he would have to endure?
34928	Why had Ralph Merrit not said what he intended saying before now?
34928	Why has n''t he come up with the others?"
34928	Why have n''t you understood in these last few months?
34928	Why is n''t he with the others who are being introduced to Jim and Frank and Jack?
34928	Why on earth did Jack not send the men after the stock?"
34928	Why should he read of the American life he lives apart from?"
34928	Why should he study what Jim Colter and the girls wished him to learn?
34928	Why should her appearance create so much comment?
34928	Why should she talk in this absurd fashion?
34928	Why stay awake longer when she understood the state of things perfectly?
34928	Will you tell me, please, whether Mr. Colter is at home or whether I may be apt to find him anywhere about the ranch?"
34928	Wo n''t it be splendid for you to have her with you again, Jack dear?
34928	Wo n''t you come back to Mrs. Colter with us?"
34928	Wo n''t you just stay on here with us at the Rainbow Ranch as you used to do and let us have a happy time together?
34928	Would Ralph be forced by the miners into advising them to buy more machinery before he knew just what should be done?
34928	Would n''t it be splendid if they came to us on their wedding trip?"
34928	Would this not perfectly explain her attitude toward him since the beginning of his love- making?
34928	Would you mind telling me why?"
34928	Yet had she not borne a good deal already that day and for several weeks beforehand in Olive''s indifference and critical air toward her?
34928	You are n''t going to a ball later on this evening, are you, and forgotten to mention it?"
34928	You did not see anybody, did you, on your way from the house?
34928	You do n''t mind, do you, dear?"
34928	You knew he had been wanting to come for a long time, did n''t you?"
34928	You men are n''t loafing with the work?"
34928	[ Illustration:"SHE HAD HEARD THAT MASTERFUL TONE BEFORE"]"Have Miss Ralston and Mr. Colter told you that they wanted me to quit?"
61767	''Have you fellows got so that you can listen to a white man at last?'' 61767 All ready with that gun down there?"
61767	All ready with that gun?
61767	All ready with that other gun? 61767 An apple?"
61767	And are you going to do it?
61767	And he gave it to you to save your life?
61767	And you are going outside to shoot them, and the Sioux all around you?
61767	Anybody killed?
61767	Are there any persons here asleep?
61767	Are they coming now behind you?
61767	Are you all ready to start now?
61767	Are you aware that the Sioux are very hostile, and have you any idea what they will do if they capture you?
61767	Are you going out in the face of the Sioux after the narrow escape you had?
61767	Are you going out when the time comes?
61767	Are you going to try the letter on again?
61767	Are you going to try them again?
61767	Are you not going to pick up your shotgun?
61767	But did they never make an attack on our folks on a dark night like this, sir?
61767	But do n''t you know that the soldiers are the bulwarks of civilization? 61767 But how is it going to do that?
61767	But something is always happening to take you away from us,said Winged Arrow,"and what do you suppose it was that saved your life this time?"
61767	But what are you going to do this time? 61767 But what was your object in selecting ME to warn ME of the massacre?
61767	But why did you not take the sense of the nation on it? 61767 But why do n''t they show themselves?"
61767	But why do n''t we follow them up and whip them? 61767 But, Cyrus, how do you know that the letter will prove an advantage to you?"
61767	But, Guy, did you really see an Indian and converse with him?
61767	By the way, do any of you see Winged Arrow?
61767	By the way, who is your father?
61767	Come to their death? 61767 Could you see the Sioux?"
61767	Cyrus, you mean to see the commanding officer of Fort Robinson before you see us again, do n''t you?
61767	Cyrus?
61767	Did he shoot at you?
61767	Did n''t they leave enough of you to finish your tale?
61767	Did that Sioux really give you a letter, sir?
61767	Did the Colonel have anything to say about my signaling?
61767	Did they kill their ponies on purpose?
61767	Did they read the bogus one?
61767	Did they whoop and yell as the storybooks tell about?
61767	Did we not make a treaty with some of your big men to have the right of way through this country?
61767	Did you know Cyrus, sir?
61767	Did you know that this massacre was coming before you came here?
61767	Did you see Red Cloud while you were a prisoner among them?
61767	Did you see any Sioux?
61767	Did you see it?
61767	Do any of you know English?
61767	Do any of you want to change places with me?
61767	Do n''t I wish that I had half the pluck that that man has?
61767	Do n''t you see those feet hanging out over the side of that horse that is just going over the hill?
61767	Do n''t you think you are in big business to help the Indians to clean out the whites?
61767	Do you find that fellow here?
61767	Do you know that to be a fact?
61767	Do you know where the Indians are?
61767	Do you mean Winged Arrow''s letter? 61767 Do you not think so, Major?"
61767	Do you pretend to say that there are some Indians watching me now?
61767	Do you really think my letter had anything to do with that?
61767	Do you see any men in company D there, sir?
61767	Do you see that little tuft of grass up there on the hill? 61767 Do you see that?"
61767	Do you think he has got through in safety, sir?
61767	Do you think they are going to attack us to- day?
61767	Do you think we are going to have another massacre?
61767	Do you think you can get that letter?
61767	Does that mean that I am to get ready for the stake?
61767	Fred, old boy, how are you?
61767	Halloo, Preston, where are you going now?
61767	Have I done what I could, Sergeant? 61767 Have you a needle and thread?"
61767	Have you an apple about you?
61767	Have you found such a thing?
61767	Honor bright?
61767	How did that Winged Arrow manage to get you off on this letter?
61767	How do you make that out?
61767	I do n''t suppose that a bullet or an arrow could stretch your Tom out dead while you were running away from them?
61767	Is it Cyrus?
61767	Is it a Sioux or a white man?
61767	It does not seem as though there were any Sioux around here, does it, sir?
61767	It is very likely that a Sioux would tell you that, is n''t it now? 61767 Kendall is the officer of the day, is he not?"
61767	Know it? 61767 Must I send men, who have been with me so long through thick and thin, out to be massacred by those thievish Sioux?
61767	No matter whether we whip them or not?
61767	Now how was it brought about? 61767 Now where is your letter?"
61767	Now will you bid me good- by, Perkins?
61767	Now, have you got the other dispatch ready?
61767	Over the ridge?
61767	Shall I go now sir?
61767	That Sioux was a friend of yours, was he not?
61767	That is so; you did not see him, did you? 61767 The massacre?"
61767	There are our boys alone in that tower--"And you want to go out and inform them that they are not forgotten by the garrison, do you? 61767 There were more chickens out here when I looked over the palisade at them, and where are they now?
61767	They are retreating, sir?
61767	They were retreating?
61767	They would not come out just to follow us up, would they?
61767	To warn me?
61767	To you?
61767	Was it that letter that you gave to Guy Preston?
61767	Well, Cyrus, you ran plump into their hands, did you not?
61767	Well, then, what difference will it make by saving one or two lives? 61767 Well, what is it now?"
61767	Well, what of that? 61767 What about?"
61767	What are they going to do to me?
61767	What chance had he to learn English?
61767	What did he say?
61767	What did that bogus dispatch do?
61767	What do you fellows intend to do with me?
61767	What do you make out of it?
61767	What do you mean by that?
61767	What do you mean, sir, by coming into the Fort as if all the Sioux were close at your heels?
61767	What do you think will happen then?
61767	What do you want to kill the soldiers for? 61767 What good will it do to signal to them now?"
61767	What is it intended to represent?
61767	What is it, Billings?
61767	What is the reason the Colonel will not let one of us go out and knock over a few of them for dinner?
61767	What is the reason they did n''t shoot me down or make a prisoner of me? 61767 What is the reason you were not in it?
61767	What other?
61767	What signals?
61767	What sort of a looking chap was he? 61767 What was his other name?"
61767	What was in that letter he gave you?
61767	What was it?
61767	What was it?
61767	What''s up?
61767	When is it coming off?
61767	Where did you find this letter, sir?
61767	Where have you been to learn so much?
61767	Where is the letter?
61767	Where shall I sit down?
61767	Where''s your letter?
61767	Where, where?
61767	Which way?
61767	Who are you?
61767	Who was that letter directed to?
61767	Why did not one of them change places with me?
61767	Why do n''t they shoot lower?
61767	Why do n''t they signal to me?
61767	Why do n''t we fall in and go away from here?
61767	Why do n''t you run off with that? 61767 Why is that, sir?
61767	Why, how is that? 61767 Why, how would it do that?"
61767	Why, you do n''t expect to fall into the power of the Sioux, do you?
61767	Why-- why did not Cyrus take it with him, sir?
61767	Will you change places with me?
61767	You are not an Indian?
61767	You do know it? 61767 You just bet that I will keep out of it, if I can; but if I should be ordered to be in it-- then what?"
61767	You saw it all, did you not?
61767	You say he was a smart chap?
61767	You would shoot yourself before you would be taken prisoner? 61767 A PRISONER AT LASTSo this is scouting for Indians, is it?"
61767	A frightened lot of teamsters and soldiers went by him after a while, but where was Guy''s salute this time?
61767	And I rode within twenty feet of that tuft of grass when I came down,"stammered Guy,"What had I better do?"
61767	And what had caused this Red Cloud to go on the warpath?
61767	And what is the reason Cyrus would not take it with him, sir?
61767	And where was Guy Preston during all this time?
61767	And why should not the whites be cleaned out?
61767	Are they all gone?
61767	Are you going now?
61767	But where is Guy?"
61767	CHAPTER V. THE REPRIMAND"What luck have you had?"
61767	Did they know that they were going to their death?
61767	Did you not answer all the signals?"
61767	Do n''t you think it is about time to hear from Cyrus, sir?"
61767	Do n''t you think the Colonel would give it up if you asked him?"
61767	Do you have to go out?"
61767	Do you remember it?"
61767	Do you think they can go there without another fight?"
61767	Do you understand?"
61767	From the day on which you left Fort Robinson in Nebraska--""Have you followed us all the way from there?"
61767	Guy, will you get the letter for me?"
61767	Has anybody seen Cyrus to speak to him since he came back?"
61767	Have you a drink of water about you, sir?"
61767	Have you been out after any more sage hens?"
61767	Have you ever seen the prairie?
61767	Have you forgotten Mike and Tony?"
61767	Have you told this boy what you think of him for going over the other side of the ridge?"
61767	He had protested against the sending out of help, and he would do it again under the same circumstances; but at what cost?
61767	How long would it be before such would be his fate?
61767	How many do you suppose there are watching you night and day?"
61767	How was he dressed?"
61767	I had an eye on that black horse which that Lieutenant rides-- What did you say his name was?"
61767	I suppose the Colonel gave you orders before you left?"
61767	I wonder if you have anything to eat in the house?
61767	I wonder what will be the next move the Sioux will make?
61767	I would look pretty being the slave of a sneaking Sioux warrior, would I not?"
61767	In response to the signals"How goes the battle?"
61767	Is it going to happen out here on the plains?"
61767	Is that flag all ready?
61767	Is there not one left?"
61767	It is awful, is it not?
61767	Now and then signals came from the Fort,"How goes the battle now?"
61767	Of course it was easy enough to capture the Fort, but what should be the next move on their part?
61767	Oh, why did not the whites stay in their own country?"
61767	Say,"he added in a lower tone,"Who was that officer who went out hunting day before yesterday?
61767	Shall I break ranks, sir?"
61767	So I cut loose with my rifle--""Do you mean to say that you shot while the Indians were all around you?"
61767	That will be the time for me to get a letter through; do n''t you think so?"
61767	The prairie is broad, and why could you not build a road somewhere else?"
61767	The two young officers, for whom he cherished an affection of which some brothers might have been proud were gone and why should he be left?
61767	Then what have you those clothes on for?"
61767	Was he richly dressed?"
61767	Was not your Company ordered out?"
61767	Was that medicine strong enough to help him?
61767	We have often heard that hostile Indians find refuge there when badly pressed by the troops, but how do they appear and in what shape are they?
61767	Were his captors going to scalp him alive?
61767	What did I tell you?
61767	What did you promise your father?"
61767	What do you fellows want out here anyway?
61767	What has become of the balance?"
61767	What have you done with that letter I gave you?"
61767	What is the meaning of that?"
61767	What was the reason he had not asked him his name in Indian when he met him there on the plains?
61767	What would they have said about it?"
61767	What''s your name?
61767	When you have killed a man, why do n''t you let him alone?"
61767	Where''s the Colonel?"
61767	Where''s the Colonel?"
61767	Why ca n''t they go away and let us alone?"
61767	Why did Cyrus not take out his letter when the Sioux caught him?
61767	Why did n''t you obey the Adjutant''s orders, and come in when your game flew off over the ridge?"
61767	Why did not the Colonel remember this?
61767	Why was it that the Colonel was so anxious to have him leave the Fort without being seen by anybody?
61767	Why, where have you been?"
61767	You are not afraid of a hundred Indians, are you?"
61767	You do not believe in such things, do you?"
61767	You do not intend to be a prisoner in the hands of those fellows, do you?"
61767	You have nothing to do but to look out for the Sioux, I suppose?"
61767	You say that there were Sioux watching you all the time?"
61767	You will be safe up there in the signal tower--""And suppose the Sioux get whipped?"
11337	''And how does your leg tell you?'' 11337 And I ask what reason you have for such belief; why did he bid us good- by and ride away?
11337	And I ask you again, why do you come here after him? 11337 And are you and your mother alone?"
11337	And go up in flame and smoke?
11337	And how yours?
11337	And if you are?
11337	And may I inquire the distance to that spot?
11337	And suppose we_ do_ surrender, after making the best fight we can-- what are likely to be the terms offered?
11337	And what good will they do you?
11337	And what will they do with you, my boy?
11337	And why looking for me?
11337	And why?
11337	And yet you propose to stay in Wyoming and have it out with them?
11337	And you will go with me?
11337	Anything new?
11337	Are your eyes better than the others''?
11337	But I seen him, and he got the drop on me-- how''s that?
11337	But how soon do you intend-- that is, how soon do the rest of your folks intend to attack the cowmen?
11337	But how will it end?
11337	But suppose they recognize you?
11337	But suppose you should be their next victim?
11337	But the saddle?
11337	But there''s rustlers, and where''s the ch''ice?
11337	But what about his threat to burn the building?
11337	But what can it all amount to?
11337	But what is proposed to do with him and Sterry?
11337	But what reason can she have for believing Vesey will favour her plan?
11337	But what shall we do? 11337 But where is he?
11337	But why should he be in advance of the rest?
11337	But, Larch, suppose, when you set fire to the house, as I heard your folks intended, our people rush out and attack you?
11337	But, surely,continued Sterry,"they do not mean to burn the building while Mrs. Whitney and her daughter are within?"
11337	But, where are they?
11337	But,continued the wondering Monteith,"how could she do it when she was at your side?"
11337	But-- but were any of our people injured?
11337	Can it be that she intends to ride away for help?
11337	Can it be?
11337	Did Vesey say anything about me?
11337	Do they intend to do that?
11337	Do you imagine it is far from the river?
11337	Do you know Mont Sterry?
11337	Do you know whether they will begin by shooting or trying to set fire to the building?
11337	Do you know,inquired Sterry,"how soon it is contemplated making the attack?"
11337	Do you mean to tell me he is n''t in the house?
11337	Do you recognize it?
11337	Do you think he will make the attempt, Budd?
11337	Do you think so?
11337	Do you think they will do that, when they know a couple of women are inside?
11337	Does he know Sterry?
11337	Does she contemplate walking the half- dozen miles or so to the camp of the cattlemen?
11337	Exactly; who was that friend?
11337	Fired at you? 11337 Fred, what do you think of my coming back to you in this fashion?"
11337	Grizzly, when your leg warns you like that, does it speak plain enough to tell you the sort of danger that''s coming? 11337 Halloo, who''s that?"
11337	Have they learned anything about last night''s doings?
11337	He is unaware of what Miss Whitney has done?
11337	How are you, Hendricks?
11337	How bad? 11337 How could it do anything''cept help tote him around when he wanted it to?"
11337	How could that be when it was in plain sight? 11337 How did it happen?"
11337	How do you know that?
11337	How does she seem to be?
11337	How far back does that tributary reach?
11337	How far is that?
11337	How far, Larch, will it be necessary for me to ride so as to be sure-- mind you, sure-- of being out of the way when this awful business opens?
11337	How happens it that you are afoot at this time of night?
11337	How is it you were allowed to join us?
11337	How should I know? 11337 How was that?"
11337	How''s that, Larch?
11337	How''s that?
11337	How?
11337	I appreciate your kindness, Hawkridge; how did you know the right direction?
11337	I think I see Fred coming,she said, with some agitation;"will they do him any harm?"
11337	I wonder if anything can have happened to them?
11337	I wonder if we are on the right track, Queenie?
11337	If the creek extends for several miles, that is with enough width to give her room, she will outspeed them; but how is she to get back?
11337	Is it understood, Duke,asked the younger,"there''s a truce between you and me?"
11337	Is n''t some one coming up stream?
11337	Is that the mistake you refer to?
11337	Is that you, Jennie?
11337	Is the ice firm and strong?
11337	Is your name Whitney?
11337	It has come,was the comment of the parent,"and who shall tell the result?"
11337	It is not mine to answer for the present; he may be better mounted and is coming for-- for--"For what?
11337	It is; what can I do for you?
11337	It''s I, Smith; who are you?
11337	It''s agreed, then,remarked Sterry,"that we will go to Wolf Glen, and then, and then--""And then what?"
11337	Larch, is that you?
11337	No, you may help me, but what is it to be?
11337	No-- why, yes; is it possible?
11337	No; to what do you refer?
11337	Nothing, so long as I remain a model prisoner; but how are you fixed for defence?
11337	O, I know it will be dreadful; I want to go as far away as I can-- do you blame me, Larch?
11337	On foot or horseback?
11337	On what grounds?
11337	Pretty well done, I''ll own,he said, with a forced laugh;"but what good is it going to do you?
11337	Probably within a couple of hours?
11337	Shall I bring chairs for you? 11337 Suppose mother and I refuse to leave?"
11337	Suppose we catch sight of some one stealing up?
11337	Take no thought of the morrow; but what worries me is the question of water-- how about that?
11337	Thank fortune for that; have you any extra cartridges?
11337	That is n''t it; rather, what sort of friend would I be, thus knowingly to place you and your mother and sister in danger? 11337 That may be; but why do n''t they show themselves?"
11337	That was foolish,said her brother, reprovingly;"suppose the ice had given away when you struck it again?"
11337	The meaning of what?
11337	Then do you wish me to stay here?
11337	Then father and Fred were not hurt?
11337	Then he is n''t badly injured?
11337	Then it is the intention to attack as soon as the ladies are fairly out of the way?
11337	They will not be likely to give you a chance?
11337	They''re running off some of the cattle; where''s the hosses?
11337	To what do you refer?
11337	Wal, I reckon; what sort of a chap do you take me for?
11337	Wal, what made you take me for him? 11337 Was anybody-- hurt?"
11337	Well, Duke, what is it?
11337	Well, Mont, what are you going to do about it?
11337	Well, my dear, what would you like to do?
11337	Well, where do you want to go, sister?
11337	Were you alone before we came up?
11337	What are his terms?
11337	What can it mean?
11337	What do you advise?
11337	What do you mean by troubling me?
11337	What do you mean? 11337 What do you mean?"
11337	What do you mean?
11337	What do you propose to do about it?
11337	What does that mean?
11337	What has become of her?
11337	What is it, Budd?
11337	What is it?
11337	What is it?
11337	What is that?
11337	What is that?
11337	What is that?
11337	What is that?
11337	What is the meaning of that?
11337	What need that she should? 11337 What of it?
11337	What particular profession can she fill by dashing over the country in that style?
11337	What reason have you to fear their repetition?
11337	What set you to hunting me so hard?
11337	What shall we do?
11337	What sort of friends do you take us to be?
11337	What terms do you offer?
11337	What will be a satisfactory response?
11337	What''s the matter, Fred?
11337	What''s the use of supposing what could not take place?
11337	What''s to be done? 11337 What''s up?"
11337	What-- what of my husband?
11337	When do you expect the return of Fred?
11337	Where are you to place mother and me?
11337	Where is Weber?
11337	Where is it? 11337 Where is the proof, Larch Cadmus, of what you say?"
11337	Where''s Fred?
11337	Where''s your horse?
11337	While I was talking a few seconds with you some person slipped out of the back door; do you know anything of it?
11337	Whitney, as I suppose it is, are you accustomed to sit out here alone?
11337	Who are they?
11337	Who can it be? 11337 Who is your friend?"
11337	Who was it?
11337	Who-- who-- how was it? 11337 Why did n''t he bring the message himself,"continued the sister,"instead of sending it?"
11337	Why did n''t she consult with me?
11337	Why did n''t you follow?
11337	Why do you come here?
11337	Why do you speak that way?
11337	Why does n''t Cap hurry?
11337	Why not keep on to Boston and call on my folks?
11337	Why not?
11337	Why not?
11337	Why, Larch, why should I blame you?
11337	Why,replied Hawkridge,"what does it mean, indeed?
11337	Why?
11337	Why?
11337	Will they do him harm?
11337	Will they pursue him?
11337	Wo n''t you be willing to share the risk with me?
11337	Would you like to make a call on him?
11337	Yes, brother; have they gone?
11337	Yes; as clear as I can have; why do you ask?
11337	You could not identify it?
11337	You have a horse in the stable, have n''t you?
11337	You have everything clear in your mind?
11337	You have recognized him?
11337	You ignore the services of Miss Whitney?
11337	You simply demand our surrender, as I understand it?
11337	And now he announced his intention of departing at once, riding out into the night-- whither?
11337	And what of Monteith?"
11337	Are we to set here on the ground and wait for it?
11337	As she paused the amazed Sterry asked:"But why did she think I would venture unless I got the sign from Vesey?"
11337	Asbury and the rest feel hopeful of beating off the rustlers?"
11337	Asbury called out:"Who''s there?"
11337	Asbury wheeled and demanded:"Who''s there?"
11337	Asbury?"
11337	Asbury?"
11337	But whose?
11337	But you ca n''t stand there all night with your Winchester p''inted at me, and bime- by I''ll git tired; ca n''t we fix the matter up some way?"
11337	But, Grizzly, have you noticed there''s been several guns shot off around the country to- night?"
11337	Can there be any objection to such a course, or is she likely to suffer on that account?"
11337	Could there be any ulterior purpose in all this?
11337	Do I look like him in the moonlight?"
11337	Do you know anything about Mont Sterry?
11337	Do you know why I hope Fred will decide to return to the East with you and your mother?"
11337	Does it say what hour; where the trouble is to come from, and who them that make the trouble will be?"
11337	Forgetful of the savage brutes, Monteith Sterry slackened his pace, and in a scared voice demanded:"What has become of her?
11337	He had perhaps walked fifty feet, when some one advanced from the gloom and called, in an undertone:"Halloo, who is that?"
11337	He looked up at me in his pleasant way and asks,''What makes you think so, Grizzly?''
11337	How much worse?
11337	I hope I did right, did I not, sister?"
11337	I ought to go two or three times as far as that; you wo n''t object, will you?
11337	I suspect that some other firing will take place about that time-- eh, boys?"
11337	I wonder if they''ve stolen him?"
11337	I wonder whether he has scented our trail?"
11337	If the situation of your mother and sister is so sad because of the loss of the head of the household, what will it be if you should be taken?"
11337	In the middle of one of her snatches of song she abruptly paused with the question:"Did you hear that, mother?"
11337	Is mother asleep?"
11337	Is n''t that he?"
11337	It was the mother who now spoke:"Suppose Jennie and I decline to leave the house?"
11337	Larch Cadmus''idea of 24 hours''notice do n''t go down with this crowd, eh?"
11337	Let me ask, Duke, whether this treatment is guaranteed to all of our folks?"
11337	Look closely, Jennie; do you see no others?"
11337	Mont, what made you leave us so abruptly to- night?"
11337	Now, Mrs. Whitney, we have enough rations with us to last, in a pinch, for three or four days; how are you fixed?"
11337	One party was beaten off, but which?
11337	Said I was that chap?
11337	She might find it in the course of a day or two, but this affair will be over before daylight-- I beg pardon, what was it you said, Jennie?"
11337	That surely was not he?"
11337	The best of it was, it seemed to satisfy the other, who, without announcing his own, asked:"What are you doing?"
11337	The countenances became grave, and turning to Sterry, on her right, Jennie asked, in a low voice:"Is it safe to promise that?"
11337	The words of Monteith Sterry were uttered jestingly, but they caused a pang to the affectionate parent as she asked:"What could happen, Monteith?"
11337	There will be some of the rustlers beyond him, and how can he pass them unchallenged?"
11337	Was it not likely that he had received permission from Inman to end the suspense by shooting the captain of the stockmen?
11337	Was she mistaken, or was that the faint sound of a horse''s hoofs in the distance?
11337	What do you suppose she meant by that, boys?"
11337	What has become of him?"
11337	What help can we give them?"
11337	What in the mischief are you driving at?"
11337	What is the meaning of all this?"
11337	What might be its nature?"
11337	What reason can she give that will induce him to aid her to pass beyond the camp?"
11337	What shall I answer?"
11337	What will become of her?"
11337	What will he think of me on learning what I have done?
11337	What would be the result?
11337	What''s up, Miss Jennie?"
11337	What_ can_ we do?"
11337	When do you suppose the fight will open?"
11337	Where is she?"
11337	Which is the best course for me to take?
11337	Who could reply unfavourably to this question?
11337	Who is he?"
11337	Why do n''t they take to the woods?"
11337	Why do n''t you change your course?"
11337	Why do you ask for him now?"
11337	Why do you make such a remark?"
11337	Why do you remain where you are a marked man when there is no need of it, and where your personal danger is certainly as great as mine?"
11337	Will you hand it to him the next time you meet him?"
11337	Without noticing this penetration of his disguise, the rustler turned and spoke to the nearest of his companions:"Spark Holly, how was it?"
11337	You do n''t imagine that she knows of any larger force anywhere in the neighbourhood?"
11337	You know who them two thieves were, do n''t you?"
11337	asked the startled Cadmus;"where can she get it?"
11337	called one of the trio,"where from and where going?"
11337	concluded the youth,"he must have noticed my voice, for, not knowing Smith, how could I imitate it?"
11337	demanded Mrs. Whitney, stepping so close that she laid her hand on the knee of the sturdy horseman;"tell me quick; and what of Fred, my son?"
11337	do you think so?
11337	exclaimed the nearest,"how is this?"
11337	he exclaimed, coming forward;"how is it you are alone?"
11337	he exclaimed;"is that you, Mont?"
11337	is the alarmed response;"are there no more?"
11337	repeated the other;"where is it?"
11337	replied the other, contemptuously;"how could a fellow''s leg do that?"
11337	said Mrs. Whitney in a scared voice;"what can it mean?"
11337	was the response;"why do you say that?"
11337	was the surprised question;"what chance have you of succeeding, when every side of the house is watched?"
11337	why should it be he, and neither my husband nor son?"
20223	Allow what?
20223	Am I to stay here, Motoza?
20223	And what if they could? 20223 And who knows but that it contains valuable gold or silver mines?
20223	And whom can your father trust before_ us_? 20223 Are all red men as bad as that?"
20223	Are there any more of these animals left in the neighborhood?
20223	Are they left wholly to themselves?
20223	Are you afeard to do it?
20223	Are you following a straight course to the ranch?
20223	Are you looking for any one?
20223	At what are you engaged just now?
20223	Brothers want more?
20223	But I know mine struck him somewhere,was Fred''s desperate exclamation;"could it have taken the same course as yours?"
20223	But I s''pose you hain''t any''bjection to my giving the laugh to Bill?
20223	But the father of the other boy-- the one that''s missing-- he''s rich too, ai n''t he?
20223	But what awoke you?
20223	But what good will that do? 20223 But what made that wound?"
20223	But what of the agreement you would have to make before he gave me up?
20223	But what''s the use of kicking?
20223	Could not Motoza be made to swear against him?
20223	Did n''t he admit as much to you?
20223	Did you ever see the smoke of a camp- fire act like that?
20223	Did you give him my message?
20223	Did you go on to California?
20223	Did you hear me?
20223	Did you hear that?
20223	Did you hurt him?
20223	Did you notice where it landed?
20223	Do n''t I look a little pale, Jack?
20223	Do n''t you see that he had to make the ch''ice atween doing nothing at all or tackling the younker? 20223 Do you intend to stay on that side of the canyon?"
20223	Do you know I had forgotten all about that? 20223 Do you know what he means, Bill?"
20223	Do you mean to kill him, Hank?
20223	Do you see him?
20223	Do you see that crag that juts out from the side of the lower part of that peak?
20223	Do you see that?
20223	Do you still hold to that resolve?
20223	Do you suppose he was frightened when he found there were two instead of one to face?
20223	Do you suppose it was Hank, who wanted to have some fun with us?
20223	Do you think I acted right, Fred?
20223	Do you think he shot Fred?
20223	Do you wish Fred and me to part company?
20223	Do you wish he had n''t done so?
20223	Hank,said Jack,"why did Motoza give us any of the venison?"
20223	Have you ever seen the Eastern panther?
20223	Have_ you_ thought of it?
20223	He could have slain poor Fred in some other way, but do you believe he has done so?
20223	He gib heap money fur_ you_, eh?
20223	He gib thousand-- gib ten thousand-- hundred thousand-- million dollar-- eh?
20223	He must have known I had n''t a mouthful of food?
20223	He would n''t, eh? 20223 How about his revolver?"
20223	How about_ me_?
20223	How am I to spend the time?
20223	How are we going to reach the other side?
20223	How can we help it?
20223	How can we know he''ll give up the younker after he gits the money?
20223	How can you know that?
20223	How did you find that out?
20223	How do you make that out? 20223 How does Bowman''s ranch compare with others in Central Wyoming?"
20223	How is he to learn, when he wo n''t go near it? 20223 How is it you are awake?"
20223	How is it, Hank, that you do n''t keep any dogs?
20223	How many months can you stay in Wyoming?
20223	How many months?
20223	How shall we make sure?
20223	How should I know?
20223	How should you know anything about it anyway?
20223	How so?
20223	How''d I know if I had n''t heard it?
20223	How?
20223	Howdy, brother?
20223	Howdy, brother?
20223	Howdy?
20223	I do n''t know nothing''bout it; what are you driving at? 20223 I do n''t s''pose he made any objection-- that is, he gave you his gun without making a kick?"
20223	I s''pose you mean that laugh? 20223 I suppose you know that Mr. Dudley, the father of my friend, owns half the ranch?"
20223	I wish it were,was the honest exclamation of Jack Dudley;"but how was it he came to form his partnership with Motoza?"
20223	I wonder if he sees us?
20223	I wonder where Hank is; can it be that he, too, is watching in the neighborhood and has seen Motoza come out as I saw him? 20223 I wonder whether anything will happen to you?
20223	I wonder whether he knows I have n''t got a firearm about me? 20223 I wonder whether he sees us?"
20223	I wonder whether we would have done any better if we had brought a dog with us?
20223	I wonder, Jack, whether there''s any risk of your falling asleep?
20223	I wonder, now, if somebody has been there and stolen them?
20223	If you want something to eat, why did you not come forward openly and ask for it?
20223	In what direction?
20223	Is he fiercer than the gray one?
20223	Is that so?
20223	Is the younker in there?
20223	Is there any other way to talk?
20223	It ca n''t be to_ us_?
20223	It does n''t look as if you would; but what is your business? 20223 It will as soon as we find Fred,"said Jack, with a faint smile;"but what about yourself?"
20223	Jack, what about the feelings of Motoza_ now_?
20223	May I ask your errand thither?
20223	Never; have you?
20223	No; but I wonder whether we are going to stumble over them at every step?
20223	Not soon enough, though, to keep you from obsarving what we''ve been talking about?
20223	Now tell me who this man Tozer is?
20223	O Jack, are you sure he bit you?
20223	Of course it would spoil the enjoyment of Jack unless he could take Fred with him, but what excuse shall we make, Doc?
20223	One of them young tenderfeet is missing, eh?
20223	One of you stood guard last night while the other slept?
20223	S''pose you bring him, and then I''ll ask his folks if they want to make you a present of five thousand dollars-- how''ll_ that_ work?
20223	Say a Winchester rifle and a revolver apiece, with the proper ammunition; what sort of supplies did you think I meant?
20223	Seems to keep it up, eh?
20223	Since the fear of our testimony restrained him, why did he not seek to remove_ us_ in the same manner, when he has had more than one opportunity?
20223	So that scamp is in the mountains? 20223 So you seen me, did you?"
20223	Suppose I catch sight of one of the animals you name, or a dog Indian-- what shall I do?
20223	Suppose I should convince him on that point, how about_ you_?
20223	Suppose all does n''t go well?
20223	Suppose something happens that will prevent my ever seeing them?
20223	Suppose that danger comes in the form of an Indian; what would he care for half a dozen fires?
20223	Suppose we are separated, and there is only one of us in camp?
20223	Suppose_ you_ suggest something?
20223	Sure there is n''t any mistake about that?
20223	That''ll see us through till morning,said Jack,"but how about to- morrow and the next day?"
20223	That''s the name I gin''rally go by; which one of you is Jack Dudley?
20223	The younker has been here, but what the mischief has become of him?
20223	Then it''s safe to set Motoza down as a friend?
20223	Then one has to stand watch?
20223	Then t''other one is Fred Greenwood, eh?
20223	Then the canyon can not be as extended as we thought?
20223	Then you came up the canyon from the break and went back again?
20223	Then you have no doubt that Motoza is the cause of it all?
20223	Then you intend to leave us?
20223	Then, Hank, you''ll leave matters with me till I see you again?
20223	There are other kinds of bears in Wyoming?
20223	Wal, now, to git down to bus''ness, as you say; s''pose Doctor Greenwood sends word that he wo n''t or ca n''t raise the money you ask-- what then?
20223	What about the black bear?
20223	What about_ you_?
20223	What are we likely to see?
20223	What do those letters mean?
20223	What do you make of it, Jack?
20223	What do you mean by a maverick?
20223	What do you mean by supplies?
20223	What do you mean by treating Motoza right? 20223 What do you mean?"
20223	What do you mean?
20223	What do you suppose he was after?
20223	What do you want with me, Motoza?
20223	What does the scamp mean by doing that?
20223	What give you that idee?
20223	What good will it do us, so long as it is_ there_? 20223 What in the name of wonder is he doing down there?"
20223	What is it?
20223	What made you fire your gun''bout two hours ago?
20223	What makes you so afeard he''ll hear us?
20223	What other kinds of game are we likely to meet?
20223	What should we do for our meals? 20223 What tribe does he belong to?"
20223	What was the meaning of it?
20223	What will Hank think, when he goes to camp to meet us?
20223	What''ll you do?
20223	What''s that?
20223	When did you feel that bite?
20223	When will that be?
20223	When?
20223	Where did you git your breakfast?
20223	Where you hit him?
20223	Where''s the younker?
20223	Which way do you wish me to travel?
20223	Who said there was only one of the imps?
20223	Who, then, could it be?
20223	Why are you so sure about Motoza?
20223	Why both of them?
20223	Why do you call them''dog Indians?''
20223	Why not fall back on what we first talked about?
20223	Why not?
20223	Why not?
20223	Why not?
20223	Why of''_ us_?''
20223	Why should he go back? 20223 Why would you wish to do that?"
20223	Why?
20223	Why?
20223	Will he pay the money?
20223	Will you keep your appointment with Tozer?
20223	Wonder how it was with him?
20223	Yes; who would have thought of such a thing?
20223	You ca n''t, eh? 20223 You could n''t make it any too strong; how did he take it?"
20223	You know how curious they are? 20223 You mean that he has forgotten where the stairs lead up to the top?"
20223	You mean that we are to spend each night in this place?
20223	You shot a buck, eh? 20223 You will, eh?
20223	Your story begins with the first sight of the antelope; what happened afore that?
20223	And did n''t Hank Hazletine"give him the laugh?"
20223	And where, all this time, was old Ephraim?
20223	Are we to give you the money afore you produce the younker?"
20223	At the same moment that it was observed, a tiny point of light shone through the gloom, and some one called to them:"Is that you, Hank?"
20223	Bok- kar- oo told me what you had told him; it''s queer business, is n''t it?"
20223	But how about breakfast?"
20223	But what are you waiting for?"
20223	But what of it?
20223	But what''bout Hank Hazletine?"
20223	But what''s the use of one of us keeping guard here?"
20223	Can it be Motoza has had anything to do with it?"
20223	Could he believe his senses?
20223	Could it be he would have to abandon his effort after making so fine a start?
20223	Could it be possible?
20223	Could it be possible?
20223	Despite his own fixity of gaze, Hank noted what they were doing, and turning abruptly toward them, asked:"Do you obsarve anything''tic''lar?"
20223	Did n''t you hear it?"
20223	Did you hear that?"
20223	Do you comprehend?"
20223	Do you observe, young man, that the forenoon is well along and we have n''t had a sight of any game?"
20223	Do you remember what that old settler told us on the train, a couple of days ago?"
20223	Do you suppose I would allow you to spend a month in that wild region without a companion to look after you?
20223	Does a football- player mind a little thing like that?
20223	Fred was thoughtful a moment, and then asked:"Hank, what do you mean to do about Tozer?"
20223	Hardly was he a hundred feet from the couple when Hazletine asked:"What''s up, Bill?"
20223	Have you been to breakfast?"
20223	Hazletine?"
20223	He advanced with the same lengthy step and extended his hand with his hearty"Howdy?"
20223	He might tramp back and forth for nights and days, but with no success, for Fred Greenwood was gone-- whither?
20223	How does that strike you?"
20223	How long would they have left me there without bringing me anything to eat?"
20223	How much money will Motoza ask to produce the younker?"
20223	How was it you knew where to look for me?"
20223	How was it?"
20223	How''s that appetite of yours?"
20223	Howdy?"
20223	I am not afraid to make the leap; are you?"
20223	I can feel it all through my body; and do n''t you see that my ankle has begun to swell?"
20223	I s''pose the Sioux will want the money afore he turns over the younker?"
20223	I wonder if that can be brought about?"
20223	I wonder whether Hank is ahead of us?"
20223	I wonder whether anything can have befallen him?"
20223	I wonder whether he believes I intend to idle my time till night and then go back to headquarters and wait for him?
20223	I wonder whether, if we stayed out here a few years, our feelings would change?"
20223	Jack and Fred laughed, too, until their sides ached; and who shall deny that there was not full cause for their merriment?
20223	Meanwhile, where was Fred Greenwood?
20223	Must he pick his way down the side of the canyon, again, to the cavern, and there meekly resume the torture of waiting for death from starvation?
20223	Need it be said what followed?
20223	Now, do n''t you think he will feel some gratitude for that?"
20223	Now, if Doctor Greenwood has word by telegraph that he must pay five thousand dollars to git his younker back agin, what''ll he think?"
20223	Now, why did n''t he go back?"
20223	On the first of October you will start for Wyoming----""Alone?"
20223	R.''?
20223	R.''strike you?"
20223	Rather is he not proud of his scars and bruises, which attest his skill and devotion to his own club?
20223	Shall you or I unfold our brilliant scheme?"
20223	So you made a trade with the young man?"
20223	Suppose Jack reminds you of the fact?"
20223	The elder took off his hat and called:"Are you ready?"
20223	The guide slowly turned his head and looked fixedly at the youth before replying:"Would n''t you''ve heerd his gun?"
20223	Then Jack asked, in an awed voice:"Did you see his face when he turned toward you just before walking away?"
20223	Then he became cool again and asked:"Is it possible?"
20223	Then with a voice and expression of scornful contempt, he asked:"What do you think of Motoza''s love for you and Fred?"
20223	They listened, unconscious of the passage of the hours, until he abruptly asked:"What time is it?"
20223	This was to be the prison of Fred Greenwood until when?
20223	Turn back or keep on?
20223	Wal, I s''pose you''re ready to start for the ranch, younkers?"
20223	Was it safe to wait a minute or two longer?
20223	What do you think of it, Hank?"
20223	What do you think of it?"
20223	What does that mean?"
20223	What have you to say to_ that_?"
20223	What more likely, therefore, than that he was conducting him to some remote place, where his body would never be found?
20223	What reason, then, has he fur saying Bill had anything to do with the bus''ness?"
20223	What should he do?
20223	What was the ultimate intention of the Sioux?
20223	What would have been the course of Hazletine had he seen Motoza, not doubting, as he did, the guilt of the miscreant?
20223	What''s frightened the ponies?"
20223	What''s the next step?"
20223	When was he to be released, or was he not to be released at all?
20223	Where''s your baggage?"
20223	Why did n''t you shoot the chap?"
20223	Why did you let him have any of it?"
20223	Why do you steal into our camp like a thief of the night?"
20223	Why does n''t he stay with us?
20223	Why had he not searched there before?
20223	Why not climb the side of the canyon?
20223	Why, then, should they place themselves in such great danger when they had nothing to gain and all to lose by doing so?
20223	Why, therefore, should not mercy be shown to him?
20223	Wo n''t he feel cheap?"
20223	Would you wish to harm the emblem of our country?"
20223	You call Motoza tief, eh?"
20223	You did n''t kill any Injins?"
20223	_ Do you hear?_"The demand was made in a loud voice and accompanied by a threatening step toward the Indian, who showed no fear.
20223	can it be?"
20223	demanded Jack, his face flushed, and his anger greater than before;"did n''t you hear me ask for my gun?"
20223	he exclaimed to himself;"what can have become of him?"
20223	he said, with ludicrous dismay;"there ai n''t nothing wrong in_ that_, is there?"
20223	howdy, brother?
20223	repeated the wondering Jack Dudley;"what do you mean by that?"
20223	you fader hab heap money, eh?"
