But at last they halted, dropping their heavy baggage on a flat surface of rock that was not visible from the big white house. Then up a little higher the now unencumbered engineers trod. When they halted they could see far and wide over this strange country. "Now, what?" asked Hazelton. "Luncheon, if I had my choice," muttered Tom. "But that's out of the question, I fear."
The year 1908 witnessed some notable trips and patrols. In order to wind up all matters connected with the Peace-Yukon trail Inspector A. E. C. Macdonnell was instructed by the Commissioner to proceed from Fort MacLeod via Calgary, Vancouver and the Skeena River to Hazelton in British Columbia to dispose of stores that were there and bring the horses back to Fort Saskatchewan.
"Here are my engineers, gentlemen," smiled Don Luis, "and at least three of your number, I believe, are well acquainted with Messrs. Reade and Hazelton." Tom ascended the steps, feeling rather weak in the knees. Then the young engineers received one of the severest jolts of their lives. Three of the gentlemen in that group, both young men knew well.
With the dynamite we brought up from the Bright Hope on this sled we can fire a blast that will starve and drive Reade and Hazelton away from the Indian Smoke Range for good and all!" "Yes, if we don't blow ourselves to kingdom come in the effort," growled the man known as Josh. "You're talking bosh!" grunted Dolph. "Why should we blow ourselves up? Is this the first time we've used dynamite!"
"Now, just stay here," whispered Tom, then strode into the house. He entered his partner's room, gripping the slumber-seized Hazelton with a strong clasp. "Oh, quit your fooling!" protested a sleepy voice from the pillow. "Time to get up, you slant-eyed rations stealer!" muttered Tom gruffly. "Come on. You're needed, and there's no time to be lost. Up with you!"
The other eleven who boarded the train with Marion, the holiday hostess, were Ruth Hazelton, Ethel Zimmerman, Ernestine Johanson, Hazel Edwards, Azalia Atwood, Harriet Newcomb, Estelle Adler, Julietta Hyde, Marie Crismore, Katherine Crane, and Violet Munday. Miss Ladd, the Guardian, also was one of Marion's invited guests.
Don't try to talk, now. We're taking good care of you, and we'll keep on the job day and night. You've had some medicine, though you didn't know it. Now, try to sleep, if you can." But Hazelton couldn't sleep. He tossed restlessly, his face aflame with fever. Jim Ferrers came back with the supper, but Reade could eat very little of it. Alf Drew did not return.
Why, Harry, this hillside averages an eight and a third grade, yet Black's field notes show it to be only a three per cent. grade. Hang it, the fellow must have played the trick purposely!" "Yet why?" pressed Hazelton. "I'll admit that I can't understand. Unless, well -unless " "Say it!"
They did not see Marian Hazelton again, and Katy wondered at it, deciding that in some things Marian was very peculiar, while Wilford and Bell were slightly disappointed, as both had a desire to meet and converse with one who had been so like a second mother to the little dead Genevra.
"They must be," Dick responded. "Who ever knew Hen to tell an untruth?" "Say, stop your fooling, won't you?" begged Toby. "What did Hen actually do out in the forest." "Why, he ate at least his share," asserted Tom. "And got his share of sleep," Darrin added. "He also did his full share of housework," Hazelton supplied, with a grin. "We're glad he had such a good time," Dick went on politely.
