A few minutes after their arrival Harry espied Dolph Gage's absent man galloping over to the Gage claim. "There would have been trouble, if we hadn't shown a few armed men here," muttered Hazelton. "There's some excitement in that camp, as it is," exclaimed Tom, who had a pair of binoculars at his eyes. "Gage, Eb and Josh are crowding around the new arrival. Take the glasses, Harry.

No one was more struck with Dolph's increasing merit, than his old master the doctor; and so forgiving was Dolph, that he actually employed the doctor as his family physician, only taking care that his prescriptions should be always thrown out of the window.

As the sturdy bush-beater sat in the twisted root of a tree, that served him for a kind of arm-chair, dealing forth these wild stories, with the fire gleaming on his strongly-marked visage, Dolph was again repeatedly perplexed by something that reminded him of the phantom of the haunted house; some vague resemblance, that could not be fixed upon any precise feature or lineament, but which pervaded the general air of his countenance and figure.

Past the cottage they streamed, down over the grassy cliff, and across the beach. 'Dolph, barking furiously by the edge of the waves, was caught and borne down by the first line of them borne down and rolled over into the water with no more ceremony than if he had been a log.

On the Turner raft, Dolph was at the bow, the school-master at the stern, while Rube who was cook and Chad, in spite of a stinging pain in one foot, built an oven of stones, where coffee could be boiled and bacon broiled, and started a fire, for the air was chill on the river, especially when they were running between the hills and no sun could strike them.

Perchance down this miraculous valley another noble stag would come coursing to his death; and next time 'Dolph would know how to behave, and would retrieve his reputation to which, by the way, no one had given a thought. But dogs can be self-conscious as men.

Here comes one of 'em!" Somebody was running toward them from the fish-house. A black figure suddenly loomed up, close at hand. "What's the trouble out there, Herb? Dolph and the cap are yelling like stuck pigs! Hear 'em! Guess I'd better go out to 'em in the other dory, don't you think? Shane can handle the Chinos " His voice shut off in a terrified gurgle.

Then, one after the other, the other members of Tom's party inspected the writing. "Much good may it do you!" jeered Dolph Gage harshly. "You'll find that this claim is ours!" "Look at what that cub is doing!" broke in Eb excitedly, pointing to Harry. Unobserved at first by others, Hazelton had slipped back of the crowd.

'Dolph heard, shook himself, wagged his tail, and padded forward into the gathering darkness; ran a little way and halted, until they overtook him. He understood. "If they catch up with us we must nip into a gateway," panted Tilda. But as yet there was no sound of wheels on the road behind. They passed the Hollys' cottage and stable, and braved the undiscovered country.

I've heard him telling, after any number of different dinners, what a feat it was for him to write A Portia of the Rockies when, for a fact, he never had been farther west than Toledo. But what is he going to do with you?" "Nothing. I called him off." Dolph nodded at the ankle he was nursing in both hands. "Grand work, that!" he said.
