"That's so," agreed Bob Rose, "why, often a lot of strange chaps will share their grub with you, but I never knew 'em to hook it! Must be an awful mean crowd." "Well, all the same," said Bert, "what are we going to do for lunch? I rousted out at sunup, and to be sure, I had my breakfast, but it's forgotten in the dim past."
Do you think we could manage it between us, by taking all manner of care?" "Sure thing, Jack. Here, let me hold him some while you climb out. Hang that awful smoke, it makes the tears blind you!" A shout arose from the anxious crowd below.
"The morning we left for the mountains," she began, "two letters came for me by mail but I didn't read them until I got on the train.

He had the same zest of living as Sidney, but with this difference the girl stood ready to give herself to life: he knew that life would come to him. All-dominating male was Dr.
