"It's his fault," Carrick answered, pointing at the densely packed mass of Krovitzers about them. "What are you driving at?" "It's this wye, sir," said his whilom chauffeur, taking grace of words. "You know we struck this plyce yesterday. Feelin' out o' plyce among them furrin-speakin' Krovitzers I hiked down to the Russian guard mount."
"We had good reasons enough," declared Phil. "We left town at midnight last night, hiked all the way to our boat-landing two miles up the river, and made the long pull up the Plum in the dark just for the sake of getting an early morning chance at the best bass rock you ever heard of just to get chased out at the point of a shotgun after we'd landed the first one a three pounder too.
And h-m! he didn't last five minutes. He turned a kind of bluish-green, too. And swelled a good bit. I'll spare you the details, Beta. At any rate, we had to leave him. So there were only two of us now, and God knew where home was, or how many thousand of the hairy devils were lying in ambush on the way. So then " "What did you do?" she asked, shuddering. "We hiked, and kept on hiking!
Then I hiked over the mountains to the Wenatchee valley and earned enough that summer vacation to tide me over the next year. I had a friend there in the sage-brush country, a station agent named Bailey, who had blown a thousand dollars into a tract of desert land he hadn't seen off the map.
And whenever the need for change or the desire for a drink has struck him, he has drawn his pay, strapped his bed roll, and cheerfully hiked away down the long and dusty trail.

I reckon he was sort of guessing around in the dark, plumb puzzled; couldn't find the switch at all at first. Then it come to him, and he thought of the sheep to blind the trail. If I'd been half a hour later he would have got away with it too. No, if he had guessed that you were in the hold-up, him and Boone would have hiked right out on a false trail and led us into the Galiuros.
I don't mind a bit being hiked up a little, and, besides, nobody's going to notice me." "That's perfectly absurd!" exclaimed Mrs. Sequin indignantly; "you must remember who you are, and that everybody is noticing you.

But the mules did not like it, and after nightfall they hiked back on the trail, and it was a long and arduous work to gather them next morning. I have touched above on the insect pests. Men unused to the South American wilderness speak with awe of the danger therein from jaguars, crocodiles, and poisonous snakes.
He wanted the respect and admiration of this young woman his son's wife-to-be. "Don't weave any golden halo for me," he added, dryly.
