"Gad," exclaimed Short, "we ought to be hearing from him pretty soon!" Hollis laughed nervously. "He's been gone only ten minutes," he announced. "Seems like an hour," snapped Short. "What's that? Did you hear that? He's firing! It's the machine-gun! Oh, Lord; and here we are as helpless as a lot of old ladies ten thousand miles away! We can't do a thing. We don't know what's happening.
Turner, and went right on displaying grace and dexterity to a quite unusual degree. Decidedly Mr. Turner was being "cut," and he wondered why. Presently he strode down to the road and looked up over the hill in the direction he knew Hollis Creek Inn to be. He was still pondering the probable distance when Mr. Westlake and Billy and young Princeman came up the brook path.
"I know there's different ways of makin' it in books," he continued; "the folks which write books make their men an' women go at it all kinds of ways. But did you ever know anyone in real life to make love to a girl any different than anyone else?" "I have had no experience in love making," returned Hollis, puzzled again. Norton cackled. "No," he said, "an' that's the peculiar part of it.

"Let me read a few more pages, Dr. Hollis, and then I think I shall be all ready to dispute my symptoms, one by one, and convince you what really is the trouble with me. And, by the way, did Dr.

"And, just now, Terry Hollis is my gold mine. Watch me work him!" It was some time before Terry could sleep, though it was now very late. When he put out the light and slipped into the bed, the darkness brought a bright flood of memories of the day before him. It seemed to him that half a lifetime had been crowded into the brief hours since he was fired on the ranch that morning.
Certain signs some shrubbery that he saw through the canyon, a bald butte or two rising in the distance told him that he was near the river. And Norton had told him to keep away from the river trail. In his eagerness to explore the country he had forgotten all about Norton's warning. The prospect was not a hopeful one, yet Hollis could not have admitted to feeling any alarm.
"Now go home and take a good rest and be ready to deliver the Kicker next Saturday." The boy backed away and stood looking at Hollis in surprise. "Why!" he said in an awed voice, "you ain't none scared a-tall!" "I certainly am scared," laughed Hollis; "scared that Ten Spot will change his mind before six o'clock. Do you think he will?" "No!" emphatically declared the boy.
Bessy thought Doris rather queer and not very smart. The two little ones were bundled up and made ready, and the sleigh came back with a jingle for warning. Mrs. Hollis took her baby in her arms, grandfather carried out little Foster, and they were all packed in snugly and covered up almost head and ears with the great fur robes, while little Sam shouted out the last good-night. Mrs.
