"Wait!" cried Franklin. "I know this hole! I've been here before. The team's come here for shelter " "Oh, it's the White Woman breaks why, sure!" cried Sam in return. "Yes, that's where it is. We're less than half a mile from the house. Wait, now, and let me think. I've got to figure this out a while." "It's off there," said Sam, pointing across the coulee; "but we can't get there."
Jimmie's team's a peach, an' so's his sled; but Jim drives like a like a girl," finished Mr. Kelly scornfully, with the tone of one who disposes of that contestant effectively and finally. "For looks an' style, I can tell you, George, there ain't any of 'em that's a patch on my team. Some Pupmobile!"
He longed for the time when he, like Allen, would be swinging a whip over the horses of a stage, rambling down a steep mountain, or walking up at the team's head to take off some weight. Where the stage line stopped in Beaulings the railroad began.
Dan felt behind him for Hillas and shoved the reins against his arm. "I'll get him up or cut leaders loose! If I don't come back drive to light. Don't get out!" Dan disappeared in the white fury. There were sounds of a struggle; the sled jerked sharply and stood still. Slowly it strained forward. Hillas was standing, one foot outside on the runner, as they traveled a team's length ahead.
In a few seconds she would be leaning comfortably on the broad shoulder next her. Without interrupting the team's even trot, Scott leaned down, fished another blanket from under the seat and arranged it on the back of the seat between them just in time to receive Polly's sleepy head, so that she rested half on the blanket, and half on his own steady bulk for the rest of the trip.

In the hospital, or in the quietness of a college room, or on trips, the trainer is a friend and adviser. Go and talk to the trainer of the football team if you want to get an unbiased opinion of the team's work or of the value of the individual coaches. Some of our trainers know much about the game of football the technical side and their advice is valuable.
I'm servin' notice right now that Dave and me have come to collect." Dave opened his eyes upon a world which danced hazily before him. He had a splitting headache. "Wha's the matter?" he asked. "You had a run-in with a bunch of sheep wranglers," Bob told him. "They're going to be plumb sorry they got gay." Presently Shorty returned. "That team's hooked up," he told the world at large.
But his greater claim to importance, in the opinion of most of the boyhood of Toronto, lay in the fact that for years he had held the refreshment privileges in the baseball park. After a few preliminaries, William said, "The team's due next week, ain't they?"
Another five would be passed at the first clear water. But allowing for the team's faster gait when they were headed for home, and for twelve miles of downgrade, they should not take more than four hours to reach the bend. Twilight would be settling then. Dallas figured the return thus but it was soon plain to her that sunset would find them miles from the shack.
