At last she turned, and said, "When do you think we shall sight them?" The man at the wheel shouted, "Somewheres towards midnight, Miss. We're a-goin' through it middling smart, and we can always draw on them." Then the girl went below into the warm glow of the saloon.

"That old Injun don't travel long trails. He's old. And all Injuns are lazy. They won't go hunting mineral like a white man. They know mineral when they see it and they have good memories and can go to the spot afterwards. Injun Jim prob-ly run across a pocket somewheres when he was hunting. Can't be much of it he'd bring in more at a time if there was, and be Injun-rich.

I had it out of there before they was half-way down stairs. I groped along up to my cubby, and hid it there till I could get a chance to do better. I judged I better hide it outside of the house somewheres, because if they missed it they would give the house a good ransacking: I knowed that very well.

Brother Bill Layne let on to me like maybe he'd overlook what cayn't be he'ped, and marry Nan anyhow. And that's another reason you got to keep away." "Let up on that," said Tom, stiffening again.

"How do you know he is from the East, Billy?" he asked, concealing his anxious interest with a smile at his little comrade. "Heard Uncle Will tell Phil and Kitty." "Oh, Kitty is at the house, too, is she?" Billy giggled. "She an' Phil's been off somewheres ridin' together most all day; they just got back a while ago. They was talkin' with the company when I left.

Then Diamond shut the door as he best could, and ran through the kitchen-garden to the stable.

It was nice to have a young officer somewheres about your own age ready for a lark. Poor old Mother Smithers, and that brown juice what do they call it cutch and gambia? as dyes things brown. The officers' clean shirts as was washed in that water haw, haw, haw! What's that?"
