If they took your head off, you'd put up with it! How would you like your wig flung away in the sight of a whole street?" "I don't wear one," answered Hamish, laughing.

From Five Finger Rapids the traveller goes six miles below, down the Lewes, to the Rink Rapids. On going through the Rink Rapids, he continues on the Lewes River to Fort Selkirk, the trading post of Harper and Ladue, where the Pelly and Lewes, at their junction, form the headwaters of the Yukon.

Beneath them spread the valley with the band of the river winding tenuously through the bottoms of the Harper farm. About that green bowl the first voices of the coming storm were already rumbling with the constant growl of thunder. "Thar's ther house and thar's ther big tree in front of hit," said Rowlett.
"Such as which?" asked the Yankee, with a twinkle. "There were two kinds." "But, o-oh! sir!" exclaimed the trio, when Miss Harper waved them to forbear.
