"Well, the only thing we were sure of about the car that ran that man down the Alaskan miner, you know was that the rear wheels had no chains on them, and that it was a Perriton car like Purt's." "Yes, it was a Perriton," said his sister. "So we fellows hiked up there to Sweets'. Purt was out with the car. He came home in about an hour, and he was still skidding over the ice.
They were fleeing from the great prairie fire of 1859, which swept Monterey County from side to side, and never stopped until it struck the river over in the next county. I felt a little uneasy as I hiked my cattle down into the marsh on my own land, and saw them picking their way across it toward my grove, which showed proudly a mile away across the flat.
"Then I shot up one of your friend's outfit, rode away, changed my mind, and went back, shot your friend, and hiked off into the hills with a pack horse loaded with gold." Out of all this one thing stood out terribly to her. "You shot Jack Flatray again!" He laughed. One lie more or less made no difference. "I sure did."
When Hamilton got graphic about what happened to people who ate pork from such hogs, Hetty turned politely green and had Barney set up the cooking cauldron. After dumping the kitchen slops into the pot, Barney hiked back across the yard to get the two pails of bad milk.
Every morning he rides horseback in the park, and, take it from me, those equestrian dames turn all the way round to rubber at him." "What else does he do?" "He walks miles, too. I fell in with him casual like one day and tagged along. Well, he hiked me till my tongue hung out.
"That's it," said Osterman, winking. "Have three guesses. Guess right and you get a cigar. I guess g-i-r-l spells Hilma Tree. And a little while ago she quit Quien Sabe and hiked out to 'Frisco. So did Buck. Do I draw the cigar? It's up to you." "I have noticed her," observed Magnus. "A fine figure of a woman. She would make some man a good wife." "Hoh! Wife! Buck Annixter marry! Not much.
Because now the excitement of getting the letters ready and all that was over, I began to feel a little shaky. Bert said, "Well, if it's a case of supposing, suppose we start home." We hiked it back the same way we had come, all the way in a pelting rain. It came down in sheets and pillowcases.
I just didn't want to go unless I had the letter. Reggie hiked up one day and wanted to know if he could borrow a pair of smoked glasses. "The fellows here don't smoke," Doc Carson told him. It was a shame to guy him, he was such a nice fellow, but oh, boy, I had to laugh to see him start back with that pair of big auto goggles on.
Bill considered briefly, then he announced: "All right, bo, I got your idea. When I hand you a hundred thousand iron men we quit no questions, no regrets; Is that it? But you've hiked the limit on me; I dunno's I'll make good." By the time snow flew the tent on Eclipse Creek had been replaced by a couple of warm shacks, provisions had been bought, and a crew hired.
The young lady was evidently more than pleased about the mine being named for her. Mr. Everett was as right as a trivet again, barring the fact that his arm was of course still in bandages and splints. For the next two days they hiked about the country, with Mr. Everett as guide, of course accompanied by Ruth, and heard many tales of that section in the early days.
