Other fellows would have thrown the bugle into the bushes, and called quits; but you kept right along splitting our ears with all them awful sounds you called music. And say, if you can show the same kind of grit on this long hike we're going to try, there ain't any doubt but what we'll win out."
"That means I've got to hike twelve miles over these mountains every time I want to talk to anybody on the telephone. I'm glad Mr. Marlin doesn't care much for talk. The telephone is all right, but compared to the wireless it's like a candle beside an electric light. Mr.
I wasn't expecting you for a week. To-morrow I was goin' to start on a hike for Miette. I been watching through my telescope from the mountain up there. I see Quade come in this morning on a hand-car. Twice I see him and Rann together. Then I saw Blackton hike out into the bush. I was worrying about you an' wondered if he had any word. So I laid for him on the trail an' I guess it was lucky.
"'Cause there was a prisoner escaped up yonder last night an' when I see the smoke comin' out o' yer flue contraption here I thought like enough he hit this shelter." "Up yonder?" Tom queried. "You're strangers, hey?" the man repeated. "We're on a hike," said Tom. "We're on our way to Haverstraw and " "Thence," prompted Pee-wee.
Really, some of the boys were beginning to believe that the strangest of happenings were always lying in wait, as if desirous of ambushing the members of the Beaver Patrol.

"Let's see if we can find any specimens fossils or the like," came from Cleo, who had lately developed a collecting fever. "Let's eat!" declaimed Grace. "I'm starved!"
At the same moment the machine leapt forward and Betty knew that he would get away again. Then it was the first miracle happened. Sergeant Mullins, out on a hike with some of the rookies from the camp, the sound of his approach deadened by the putting of the machine, appeared around the turn in the road, coming toward them.
"I shall be delighted to do so, if they will accept," replied Mrs. Bentley smiling. "We'd cause a sensation in the hotel, wouldn't we?" laughed Danny Grin, looking down ruefully at his dusty "hike clothes." "You have other clothing with you, haven't you?" asked Susie Sharp. "Nothing better than what we're wearing now," Greg replied. "Come, just the same, anyway," urged Mrs. Bentley.
"That's what I'd like to do to-night," said he, "and that's what I'll do, you can bet your sh boots, when all this silly mess is over and I'm a free man. I'll hike back to good old Broadway, and if ever you see any one trying to pry me loose from it again you can laugh yourself to death, because he'll never, never succeed.
