And Smoke knew he was right, for he had long since learned his comrade's phenomenal walking powers. "I've been holding back to give you a chance," Smoke jeered. "An' I'm plum troddin' on your heels. If you can't do better, let me go ahead and set pace." Smoke quickened, and was soon at the rear of the nearest bunch of stampeders. "Hike along, you, Smoke," the other urged.
And so, when the blizzard had passed he got out a small motor boat, and made ready for the journey. If he could reach a point several days' journey by boat to the southward, he could leave the boat and travel one hundred miles on foot overland to the railroad. This hike of one hundred miles, with provisions and equipment on his back, was a tremendous journey in itself.
James had been so well-behaved that morning it was only logical for her to anticipate that he was about to abolish at one fell stroke all his hard-earned merits. "About eating salads. We never used to put oil on our tomatoes. Sugar and vinegar were good enough." "Sugar and vinegar are not nourishing; olive-oil is." "We seemed to hike along all right before we learned that."
He got badly frozen when the Indians drove us an' our friends away, an' he never got over it. He died up there in th' ice, an' we buried him. I took th' map, an' when spring come, I made a hike out of that country. From then until now I've been plannin' how t' git t' that valley, an' th' only way I seen was an airship.
So fast was their hike that they were almost breathless when they arrived within sight of it. Calling a halt, Garry bade them get their breath back, and then proposed a council to see what was to be done. "I think it would be a good idea to try and pry off that window shutter. One of us can stand guard at the front door, the other at the rear, and the third can play with the window.
We all know it and want to help you, if we can. Come on out and have a snowball match." It was a glorious day, sharp and sparkling and the snow crunched under their feet as they walked. "This is the sort of weather when I long to go on a hike," said Shirley. "If it wasn't for this trouble we're having I'd suggest it." "Let's go tomorrow anyway!" exclaimed Bet impulsively.
What if he were suffering, if his back and side were paining him again? She recalled the exhaustion with which he had slept at noontime, and the long, weary hike that followed it, and her heart contracted within her. It was for her that he was doing this, so that she might see the show! One of the ladies in the seats before her leaned forward and exclaimed: "Didn't he look like Jimmie Abbott?

Indians talk by signs and numbers. It will take a smart fellow to tell what it means when you find your heap stone." "Don't worry, fellows. When you find it hike back an' ask Matty. He'll tell you."
"Well, I believe there is a branch railroad line about ten miles away," said Captain Clark, "and if we have to " "We can walk, of course!" interrupted Cleo. "That's a mere sprint. A ten-mile hike is a trifle." "Did you say triffle or truffle?" asked Grace. "Truffles don't grow here, nothing but mushrooms and toadstools," broke in Margaret. "All Girl Scouts ought to know that!"
"Ready for the hike?" demanded Will, as he came up with his chum. "We start in half an hour," replied Betty, in the front yard of whose house the others were gathered.
