"Then the iron hunter the man who look for metal in the wood he look some other place. Beside," and Ba'tiste looked almost admiringly at a spike-filled tree. "Eet is a good job. The spike, they are driven deep in the wood, they are punched away in, so the bark, eet will close over them.
True, she had always been near in time of trouble and it was only natural that now "Of course," came his answer. "Come, I'll have you made comfortable in the cottage." Then, as he started away, "May I see you, Ba'tiste, sometime to-night?" "Ah, oui." The Canadian was moving toward his wagon and the waiting dog. "In the cabin."
Present one broken to-day through crystallization. "That's one of 'em." Houston grunted the words, rather than spoke them. "That was meant for me all right humph!" The second one was before him now, longer and far more interesting to the man who bent over the telegraph file, while Ba'tiste kept watch at the door.
If they could not make good on their contract, the other mill was ever ready to step in. "Eet all depen'," said Ba'tiste more than once during the snowy, frost-caked days in which they watched every freight train that pulled, white-coated, over the range into Tabernacle. "Eet all depen' on the future. Mebbe so, we make eet. Mebbe so, we do not. But we gamble, eh, mon Baree?"
They're going to open another fellow's road, for the publicity and the good will that's in it." A grin came to Houston's lips, the first one in weeks.

The gaze of Ba'tiste Renaud was strained as he asked the question, his manner tense, excited. Through sheer determination, Barry forced a smile and pulled himself back to at least a semblance of composure. "Maybe you know the reason already through Thayer. But if you don't Ba'tiste, how much of it do you mean when you say you are a man's friend?"
And it was with the same glad light in his eyes that three months later Ba'tiste Renaud stood on the shores of Empire Lake, his wolf-dog beside him, looking out over the rippling sheen of the water. The snow was gone from the hills now; the colors were again radiant, the blues and purples and greens and reds vying, it seemed, with one another, in a constantly recurring contest of beauty.
It still is possible for me to obtain lumber, but to get it to the mill necessitates a flume and rights in the lake. I've lost that. We've been hoping, Ba'tiste and myself, that we would be able to induce you to lease us your portion of the lake and a flume site. Otherwise, I'm afraid there isn't much hope." "As I said, that doesn't become my property until late spring, nearly summer, in fact."
"Nor, pardon, the practice of politeness. Ba'teese will not need your help." "Whether you need it or not, I'll come back when you're through with this infernal horseplay. "Ba'teese choose his guests." "You mean " "Ba'teese mean what he say." "Very well, then. Come on, Medaine." The girl, apparently without a thought of the air of proprietorship in the man's tone, rose, only to face Ba'tiste.
First of all, the railroad didn't go to Salt Lake and in the second " "The new road will," said the French-Canadian. "Peuff! When they start to build eet, blooey! Eet will be no time." "The new road? I didn't know there was to be one." "Ah, oui, oui, oui!" Ba'tiste became enthusiastic. "They shall make eet a road! Eet will not wind over the range like this one.
