Who can say what is the meaning of the question, 'Does God exist? There is always a multitude of reasons both in favour of doing a thing and against doing it. The art of debate lies in presenting them; the art of life in neglecting ninety-nine hundredths of them. How beautiful is a rapid rivulet trying to clear itself from stirred-up mud.
A shrill whistle came ringing out of the stirred-up dust ahead, then the roar of wheels grew louder, rolling back repeated and magnified from the rocks above, while half-seen through the mist that rose from a river spectral pines reeled by, and an icy blast lashed my cheeks like a whip as, with throttle wide open and the long cars bouncing behind, the great mountain locomotive thundered down a declivity.
This information led to new excitement in the camp, and the Frenchman danced up and down in his wrath as he ordered the blanket wagon searched again. But his excitement did not greatly interest Scott and his party. They went their way and camped at some distance down the creek from their stirred-up neighbors. Hawk and Bob Scott sat in the moonlight after the troopers had gone to sleep.
The dense clouds of smoke, as they rose, wave upon wave, added still more to the wonderment of the rustics....

It looks like a piece of hose-pipe," I exclaimed. Moro, way up on the buffalo's neck, heard me and laughed: "He can't reach me with his rubber tail."
Startled, he looked away, and said: "Of course not." She shivered, and went into the house. But he stayed, staring at the chart with a dreadful stirred-up feeling of shame and irritation, pity, impatience, fear, all mixed. What had he done, said, lost?
