Keep the broad trail for fifteen miles, take third left and second right, which will take you to Thompson's. You're all right, but be vigilant. The above warning means what it says." "Is there a name signed to the postscript?" asked Miss Briggs. Hippy shook his head. "I know who wrote that postscript," spoke up Miss Dean. "It was our Mystery Man, Jeremiah Long."
I will now render a selection from 'Il Trovatore. I will sing the imprisoned lover's song " "Not if I have anything to say about it," growled Reddy. "Suit yourself, suit yourself," declared Hippy, shrugging his shoulders. "You boys will be sorry if you don't let me sing, though." "Is that a threat?" inquired Tom Gray with pretended belligerence. "A threat?" repeated Hippy. "No, it is a fact.
Tom and Hippy hurried upstream to meet the party, and later in the day the Overland girls came up to watch the work already in progress. A knock-down bunk-house was rapidly going up, and the cook with pots and kettles over a brisk fire in the open was preparing supper for the lumberjacks.
While this was being done, and Hippy was looking to his rifle and revolver, Grace was explaining to him how to reach Holcomb over the broad wagon trail that they had followed during the last day of their journey. Nora, in the meantime, was packing her husband's kit with sufficient food, that had been picked up from the scattered remnants, to see him through the trip.
"Two dollars and a half, and said they'd leave as much more after they got what they wanted." "Two dollars and a half!" exclaimed Hippy. "And you refused two dollars and a half? Why, old dear, that's a fortune. I am amazed that they should have been so liberal. Positively reckless, I should say. Discard such riches? It is unbelievable."
I thought the shots sounded off the other way and got deeper into the mess trying to find the camp." "You are a fine woodsman," rebuked Elfreda. "Yes, and you wouldn't be here yet had it not been for me," declared Emma Dean. "How's that?" demanded Hippy. "Well, you see, when we found that you did not come back and we surmised that you were lost, I just sat down and con-centrated.
Hippy, at first, decided to work the mines himself, with Tom Gray as his partner, but that winter they received an offer for the property and sold it outright for a large sum of money, which Lieutenant Wingate insisted they should share equally.
"Or a perpetration by a deaf man who hasn't the least idea of how it sounds," added Tom Gray cruelly. "Nora," rebuked Hippy, fixing a disapproving eye on his wife, who was laughing immoderately, "how can you hear your husband thus derided and laugh at his suffering? Oh, if Miriam were only here to protect me. By the way," he went on innocently, "where is Miriam?"
"Why should I not announce that the momentous time is at hand?" he demanded in a purposely grieved voice. "I am merely voicing the sentiments of the multitude. Look at their eager, wistful faces and dare to say I am not right." "For once I'll stand by you," conceded Reddy graciously. "I never expected to do it, but the unexpected sometimes happens." He sidled nearer to Hippy as he spoke.
The outside guarding was continued until nearly bedtime, eyes and ears being strained, not only for prowlers, but for the return of Hippy Wingate. "If we get no word to-morrow, what?" questioned Anne. "Grace and myself will take the trail," announced Elfreda. "If she does not think it wise to go, I can go alone."
