Big tam! Big tam! Never was so much fun in my house before!" "What's up?" asked Jack. "Big crowd comin' to-morrow!" replied the excited Johnny Gagnon. "Trackin' up rapids to-day. Send a fellow up ahead ask my wife bake plenty bread." "Who all is it?" Johnny counted them off on his fingers: "Bishop Lajeunesse and two priests. Every year come to marry and baptize. That's three. Four, Indian agent.

Bein' full of 'nitiative, like this fernologist states, Jack don't idle along ontil somethin's happened. Not much; he abates it in the bud. "Once when most of the outfit's over in Tucson, an' Jack is sorter holdin' down the camp alone, a band of rustlers comes trackin' in, allowin' they'll run Wolfville some. Which, that's where Jack's 'nitiative shows up big.

The light from that high up winder ain't good enough fer trackin' a bear." When the lantern was brought, Mike continued his detective operations, nose and eyes close to the floor, like a black tracker. "What's that, Ned?" he asked, pointing his finger at a dark brown spot on the boards. Carter crouched and scrutinized Mike's find. "Tobacco spit," and he gave a little laugh.

"You got to thank the scouts for a lot," said Archer; "forr trackin' an' trailin' " "'Tain't on account of them," said Tom, his voice breaking a little, "it's on account of her " And he kneeled again to arrange the corner of the cloth more neatly over the wrinkled, wounded face....

"This yere goes on for plumb a year, an' while things is cooler an' more distant between 'em, same as it's bound to be when two gents sleeps in different camps, still 'Doby an' Billy is trackin' along all right. One mornin', however, Billy goes down to the holes they's projectin' over, but no 'Doby shows up.

"It's long since I chewed a hunk of that." "All ready. Now pitch in.... Yes, thar's some buffalo left in here. Not hunted much. Thar's lots of elk an' herds of deer. After a little snow you'd think a drove of sheep had been trackin' around. An' some bear." Wade did not waste many words until he had enjoyed that meal. Later, while he helped his host, he recurred to the subject of game.

"If yer'll not object, Cap'n," said Lincoln, addressing me in a whisper, "I'd rayther go 'ithout kump'ny. Thar ain't two men I'd like, in a tight fix, better'n Rowl and Chane; but I hev done a smart chance o' trackin' in my time, an' I allers gets along better when I'm by myself." "Very well, Sergeant; as you wish it, go alone. We shall wait for you."

Followin' the nicker we comes surgin' in on our prey, an' it's over in a minute. Thar's two Mexicans, our criminal trackin' up with a pard that mornin'. But of course we-alls knows he's thar long hours back by the tracks, so it ain't no s'prise. "This yere second Mexican is downed on the run-in.

"Doby an' Billy, as time goes by, allers alloods to the infant as 'Willyum, so's not to get him an' Billy mixed; an' durin' the next two years, while Billy still goes shy so far as trackin' over to 'Doby's ranch is concerned, as soon as he walks, Willyum comes down the canyon to see Billy every day.

I wasn't worth it, all the love and kindness the town's give me. Now, Lettie, what else?" "Nothing except this. After what Dr. Hemingway said last night Springvale's gone crazy about Phil again. Just crazy, and he's sure to come back here. If he does" she broke off a moment "well, you know what you've been up to for four months, trackin' me, and tellin' things you don't know.
