So Douglas and Judith spent the day bringing in several stout horses from the range. On the morning following, before breakfast was finished, Scott Parsons hallooed from the corral. The family went to the door. Scott was leading Sioux and Whoop-la. "Found these in the old Government corral up on Lost Chief Mountain," he said laconically.
"And here's a bit of a breeze coming," said Will, suddenly, wetting his finger, and holding it up. "Whoop-la! She's coming! Let's give her the call!" And all the vigorous young lungs joined in a wild salute of "Wah-who-wah! wah-who-wah! Come, little breezes! wah-who-wah!" "I'll stop sculling, and eat in comfort now," said Will, shipping his oar, and taking a sandwich. "She's safe to come, now."
"Be careful, I tell you!" cried the general utility man. "Be careful! He'll run away with you!" But Andy was too light-hearted to pay heed to the warning, and soon he was well in advance of his companion. Then he sighted the carriage in the distance, and urged his horse to greater efforts. "Whoop-la! Here we come!" he yelled, and set up a great shouting. "It's Andy!" cried Pepper.
"Hurray!" cried Bert, tossing his hat into the air. "What are you 'hurrahing' about?" asked his father. "'Cause I'm going to be a cowboy on mother's ranch!" answered Bert. "Whoop-la!

Dear Reader, will you take my hand while I assist you to make a one year's leap. Whoop-la! There you are. A man and a woman approached Tony's news stand. You are quite right.
As he dealt the first card to Dan MacDonald, on his left, he called out: "Get down to the ground, you-all, Malemutes, huskies, and Siwash purps! Get down and dig in! Tighten up them traces! Put your weight into the harness and bust the breast-bands! Whoop-la! Yow! We're off and bound for Helen Breakfast!
Then come songs by paid singers, the pealing of the organ rise and sing, kneel and pray, entreaty, condemnation, misery, tears, threats, promise, joy, happiness, heaven, eternal bliss, decide now not a moment is to be lost, whoop-la you'll be a long time in hell!
But what other sound was that? Not from before, but behind them round the turn of the road some one was singing! In all the hurry of her flying thoughts Rita steadied herself to listen. "For it's whoop-la! whoop! Git along, my little dogies; For Wyoming shall be your new home! "What in the Rockies is going on here, anyhow?" Rita turned her head.
Judith jumped down from the fence and turned Whoop-la free for the night. Douglas sat staring at her, wondering whether or not to mention the subject of the trip to Mountain City. He was firmly resolved that unless Judith gave in to her mother on the matter, he was going with her and his father.
