"There is a pan and water right here on the bench," she said.
This work too disagreeable." Gillis had just taken out a panful of dirt. "Bring one more pail, Sam," he begged. "Jim I won't do it. I'm-freezing." "Just one more pail, Sam!" Jim pleaded. "No, sir; not a drop not if I knew there was a million dollars in that pan." Gillis tore out a page of his note-book and hastily posted a thirty-day-claim notice by the pan of dirt.
I told him, for one thing, that Lane Fleming's death hadn't pulled his bacon off the fire, that I was going to start the same sort of action against him on my own account. But that isn't the point.

"I am informed that he has a good chance to live, and I have already despatched word to Miss Gillis regarding his condition. I expect her at any moment." "How very nice that was of you!

"Well," said Hopwood, "it it's about time I had a little luck." "That skate has got something besides luck with him to-day!" exclaimed the Kid. "I wonder now did he try a powder after all? But no, he was quiet enough on the way to the post." Seeing nothing ahead of him but mud and water, Jockey Gillis steered Last Chance toward the inner rail.
