You got to thank her, Jake." Jake! Jake! The girl awakened to full understanding now. Jake what Jake? She looked, then stumbled forward with a cry. "Jake it was my Jake!" she faltered.

The jack-hammer crew gave us a line on where we might find Bruzinski, and I expect for a while there I led the way. After another ten-minute stroll, durin' which we dodged a string of coal cars being shunted down a grade, we comes across three miners chattin' quiet in a corner. One of 'em turns out to be the mine-boss. "Hey, Joe!" says Llanders. "Somebody wants to see you."
He resumed charge of affairs in his comprehensive way, and though the mine-boss, frightened and remorseful, was limp now, all his enthusiasm gone, Madeira's welled up again strong within him. They went back to their horses without loss of time, and, waving adieux to Throcker and some of his men who had gathered about, they were soon journeying back down the white road toward Joplin.

It's the easiest thing to weed out weed out " Hal never forgot the motion of beefy hands with which Alec Stone illustrated these words. As he went on, the tones of his voice did not seem so good-natured as usual.
The mine-boss tightened his arm round the girl's waist. "That's what I missed, through him and you, Jenny," he said. "What was you doing here, and not at Selby, Jake?" she asked.

"A man went from here with a letter to you three days ago," he said, "asking you to come down here and be married.
You got to thank her, Jake." Jake! Jake! The girl awakened to full understanding now. Jake what Jake? She looked, then stumbled forward with a cry. "Jake it was my Jake!" she faltered. The mine-boss caught her in his arms. "You, Jenny! It's you that's saved me!" Suddenly there was a rumble as of thunder, and a cloud of dust and stone rose from the Snowdrop Mine.
But the girl shook her head. She was thinking of a white petticoat in a little house in the mountains. "I'm not going to be married to-day," she said decisively. "Well, to-morrow," said the mine-boss. But the girl shook her head again. "To-day is tomorrow," she answered. "You can wait, Jake. I'm going back home to be married."

The strikers'll eat humble pie after to-day." "We'll be married to-day, just the same," the mine-boss said, as he gave some brandy to the girl. But the girl shook her head.

I suppose he got drunk, or had an accident, and didn't reach you. It had to be. I was needed here couldn't tell what would happen." "It has happened out all right," said Dingley, "and this'll be the end of it. You got them miners solid now. The strikers'll eat humble pie after to-day." "We'll be married to-day, just the same," the mine-boss said, as he gave some brandy to the girl.
