"Diana!" cried Enoch, making no attempt for a moment to step from the boat. "Oh, what has happened!" exclaimed Diana, putting a hand under Milton's head as he struggled to raise it. "Just a broken leg, Miss Allen," he said, his parched lips parting in a smile. "Have Forr and Hard turned up?" "No! And Curly and Mack aren't here, either! O you poor things! Here, let me help!
"Don't make a mountain out of a mole hill, Forr," said Milton. "If you fellows aren't careful you'll have a real quarrel, and that's the last thing I'm going to stand for, I warn you." "Very well, Milt," replied Forrester, "if you don't want trouble make Harden keep his tongue off me." "The fault is primarily yours, Hard," Milton went on.
But toward noon, as the boats rounded a curve, a reef presented itself with the water of the river boiling threateningly on either side. As the Canyon walls offered no landing it was necessary to make one here and Forrester volunteered to jump with a rope to a flat rock which projected from the near end of the reef. "Leap just before we are opposite the rock, Forr," directed Milton.
To our surprise, Curly wanted to go along, as soon as he found we were later going into Mexico to an old stamping ground of his. Well, we had a great time on the Border. It wasn't so bad until the hombres began to get nasty, and as you may recall, neither Curly nor my now good pal Forr stand well under sniping.
A few moments of silence again ensued, which Abe broke by saying, "Sally, haa would the' loike to see me wi' a black face?" "What's 'ta say?" "Haa w'd th' loike to see me wi' a black face?" repeated Abe. "What art ta going to blacken thee face forr doesn't th' like thee own colour? what does ta mean?" inquired Sally looking at him.
"He's only showing what all of us felt on our maiden trip," chuckled Milton. Then he added, quickly, "Listen, Forr!" Above the splash of the oars and the swift rush of the river rose a sound like the far roar of street traffic. "Our little vacation is over," commented Forrester. "Easy now, Forr! We'll land for observation before we tackle a racket like that. Let the current carry us.
But I anticipate nothing worse than that." Milton sighed and was silent, for a time. Then he said, "I could have managed Forr and Harden better, if I'd been willing to believe they were the pair of kids they proved to be. As it is " "As it is," interrupted Enoch, firmly, "both chaps are learning a lesson that will probably cure them for all time of their foolishness."
The Big Chimney men assented, but with sudden misgiving. "What was that job ye said ye were wantin' me forr?" "Oh, Maudie's got a friend of hers to fix it up." "Fix what up?" demanded Potts. "Little postscript to my will." Mac jerked his head at the nurse. With that clear sight of dying eyes the Colonel understood.
With this purpose he stopped at a cottage, where he obtained the means of making up the ring in a sealed packet like a petition, addressed, Forr his hounor the Yerl of Glenllan These.
It got so finally that we had to stand watch over our outfit at night, and Curly got a bullet in his bladder. He bled so we couldn't move him and Forr went out, thirty miles, after a doctor. While we waited, Curly got me to set down the stuff I am sending you under separate cover. He also made his will and left you his mining claims, all merely prospects so far.
