"We got a new manager for the road, an Eastern man, who had some high notions about conducting railroad travel on what he called a modern basis. One of the first results of his management was a train, which he called the 'Mormon Flyer, running from Butte to Salt Lake, and scheduled on the time card to run forty miles an hour.
Some stand in the midst of ruined gardens, circled by high walls crumbling and white, and looking through a broken gateway I see a fountain splashing, but nowhere the inhabitants that correspond to these houses only a workwoman, a grisette, a child crying in the dust. The Butte Montmartre is full of suggestion; grand folk must at some time have lived there.
She ran through all his money, though, and in the th we looked upon her as the real cause of his break-down, especially after her affair with that sergeant who deserted. You've heard of him, probably. He disappeared after the Battle Butte campaign, and we hoped he'd run off with Mrs. Clancy; but he hadn't. She was there when we got back, big as ever, and growing ugly." "Do you mean that Mrs.
"Guess I got yourn," Hank leered "when stuck my gun in your back hair." "If any one's 'been usin' a high-power it wasn't on this butte," Joe growled.

Smith, glancing at her, perceived that there was no question of her interest now. "Here they come, the daily reports," he continued, "and we open them dailies from Chicago, San Antonio, Butte, Lenox, Jersey City, Tampa, Bangor. Dailies in English, a few in Spanish, quite a number in French, for a few of our Canadian agents speak nothing else.
It's the means to the end." "Plus the love of human flesh and blood for other flesh and blood. You've got it. I won't keep them at this. Too warm." It was late afternoon when Chakchak came into view. It appeared suddenly as they swung around the corner of a butte, lying below them, the emerald of its fields drenched with the gold of the sloping sun. "My kingdom!" said Casey. "Welcome to it!"
The sun went down beyond Sentinel Butte. It was dusk as we reached the turn that led to Dumont's place, and a deep-toned rolling howl came from the river flat below, followed by a number of higher-pitched howls in answering chorus. We could see nothing, but we listened hard. The song was repeated, the hunting-cry of the Wolves.
