A stampede will often involve a week's weary scouring of the prairie. Just as Jim Bowley was about to ride up to the camp, Nat fired a question which he had been some time meditating.

'Was that Solo, do you think? he asked. 'Dead cert' replied the Californian. 'Them's his playful ways. 'If you guessed it, why didn't you give a hint? 'Not knowin', can't say; but it's just pawsible I ain't pushin' myself forward as a target this spring.

There's that steward's boy, Tins, going into my room this minute. I've a suit of clothes there that have never been put on, and he'll have them for a cert if we don't look quick."
"You're lucky," said the A.O. "I had one of my periscopes hit clean by a bullet this morning. Fritz must be having a nap, or he would have had you for a cert." "Anyway," I replied, "it gives me a comparatively clear view now." Time was drawing near. I prepared my camera by clothing it in an old piece of sacking, and gently raising it on to the tripod I screwed it tight.
'Well, even if they didn't, the Old Man would be frightfully sick if he got to know about it. I'd lose my prefect's cap for a cert. 'You might, certainly. 'I should.
