"It was wicked to let that beauty go," he said, gazing ruefully into the pool. "He was the king of them all." "Yes, but just see what you accomplished," Betty said at his elbow, softly. "What you did to-day is worth a million fish." "Yes, and there are plenty more where that came from," he added, smiling down at her. "Now let's hike along home I am getting hungry."

The man who had opened the pot dropped out. "Enough's a-plenty. Me, I got no business trailing along with you hyenas," he explained. "Different here," commented the boy. "My cards look good enough for another hike." Culvera examined his hand carefully, met the raise, and picked up the deck. The Mexican with the scar interposed. "But one moment, señor. Let us make it a good pot."

If he chose later to take a hike out of town on p.d.q. hurry up business I ain't to blame. And I reckon you'll find a jury will agree with me." She had to admit to herself that he made out a plausible case. Not that she believed it for a moment. But very likely a jury would.

"That's a great scheme, Tom, and it makes my mouth fairly water just to talk about it. Sounds like an army foraging, only instead of taking things we'll expect to pay cash for them. How many are going along on the hike?" "I have yet to hear of any member of the Black Bear Patrol who dreams of backing out; and there are several others who've told me they hope to join us.

"'Why, no, says I. 'Hike! and I snapped the blacksnake over the ponies' ears, and they strung themselves out like a brace of coyotes, nearly pulling the buckboard out from under us. 'Sometimes we travel like this, I says. 'And as for roads, I despise 'em. You're not afraid, are you? "'Indeed I'm not. I think it's glorious. Might I drive?

From the lieutenant came the answer, wig-wagged by arm: "Good! March your men in." "I have allowed men to fall out and rest," Hal answered. "They are tired after their hike." "Rest your men five minutes, then march them in," replied Lieutenant Prescott. "Very good, sir," Hal signaled. Exactly five minutes later, Overton commanded: "Fall in! By twos right, march!"

Apparently the boys were out on some sort of fall hike. Each had burdened himself not only with a pack but a blanket as well, the latter secured, after the usual military habit, across one shoulder. Each fellow also depended on a stout staff that, in a way, answered for an Alpine stock, should they have to climb any hills.

You can't hike. What's the rush?" "Shorty, I am going after the biggest thing in the Klondike, and I can't wait. That's all. Start packing. It's the biggest thing in the world. It's bigger than lakes of gold and mountains of gold, bigger than adventure, and meat-eating, and bear-killing." Shorty sat with bulging eyes. "In the name of the Lord, what is it?" he queried huskily.

But they were thankful afterward all right, all right those greasy Spaniards. D'I tell you 'bout the way I " "I don't mind their kiddin'," Tom interrupted; "I had a lot of that on the ship. And I know they'll be glad when the pump's running. I was thinkin' about something else. Come on, let's go out and hike." He always called those little restricted walks about the enclosure, hiking.

Scotty scratched his head. "I don't know. Unless you want to walk. We could cross the tidal flats and hike to town." Rick vetoed that. "Too far and too slow. The barber would have time to cut twenty heads of hair before we got there." "How about asking Jerry to come for us?" "You've got it! He could come down the wood road and pick us up right behind the island. He knows the way."
