"You're made of the right stuff, child, and I'm glad we had this little fallin' out, we had such a good makin' up time. I like you all the better. I wish Betsy Pryor hadn't been there to see it, though never mind, I'll make her pay dearly for the satisfaction she enjoyed over it. I'll be your fast friend from this time forward, and I ain't one of the kind to say a thing that I don't mean."

"How's her head?" "South and by east sir," answered the man at the wheel. "Keep her away two points. Look alive lads.

And to the closest questioning he had always one answer, and no enlightenment could they drag out of him. "The stage goes, boys," he told them. "An' personal, I ain't scairt a cent's-worth of James an' his gang. Though, to see the way you'se fellers are fallin' over yourselves to make trade with me, I guess I know some folks as is."

"I've been pumping the organ." Paul's reply was half-apologetic. "You don't think about much except music, do you, Paul?" "Isn't music all right?" For once the lad spoke almost aggressively in defense of his single enthusiasm.
"We'll all soon have to move out of this camp, anyway," said McLean, unstrapping his coat from his saddle and drawing it on. "It gets chill now in the afternoons. D' yu' see the quakin'-asps all turned yello', and the leaves keeps fallin' without no wind to blow 'em down? We're liable to get snowed in on short notice in this mountain country.
