"Didn't I warn you off of my land last summer? You have no right to hunt here." "They have the deer!" put in Giles Faswig. Hang the luck anyhow." "Never mind, the deer belongs to us it was shot on my land," muttered Andrew Felps. "Certainly it is your deer if it was shot on your land," put in Vance Lemon. The four boy hunters listened to the talk in considerable dismay.
Many natives had caught sight of him, and at last the tales reached a little circle of trackers and hunters in camp on a distant range of hills. They did not work for Dugan Sahib, for Dugan Sahib was dead long since. They were a determined little group, and one night they sat and talked softly over their fire.
Mackenzie didn't and Fraser didn't! Nor do we want to go to any trading-post for supplies. We can get butter and eggs in the States if we want to, but we're hunters! You show us a grizzly to-morrow, Alex, that's all!" "All right," said Alex, smiling. "Maybe we can."
The hunter's fever was upon them, fierce and furtive. They came to the corn-field to find that the raccoons had paid their visit, made their meal, and got away at the first faint signal of the approach of danger. With an outburst of excited yelpings, the dogs took up the hot trail, and the hunters made straight through the woods for the sycamore-tree. It was a party of five.

She limped from one camp-fire to another; and all the rough men had a kind word or question or glance for her. Allie did not believe they were all honest men. Durade had employed a large force, and apparently he had taken on every one who applied. Miners, hunters, scouts, and men of no hall-mark except that of wildness composed the mixed caravan.
The hunters saw trees turned bottom upward, the roots exhibiting the marks of the elephant's teeth, and still wet with the saliva from his vast mouth. They saw broken branches of the mimosas giving out their odour, that had not had time to waste itself. They concluded the game could not be distant.
