The sun was capping the Rockies with molten gold when the rancher and his daughter swung down the foothill slopes to the camp on the South Y.D. Strings of men and horses returning from the upland meadows could be seen from the hillside as they descended. Y.D.'s sharp eyes measured the scale of operations. "They're hittin' the high spots," he said, approvingly. "That boy Transley is a hum-dinger."
It was the point of meeting of three different currents and it gave the impression to the onlooker that it was drawing and sucking everything to its own rapacious maw. Old Man Andrews saw us from his window and came out to us, clad in oilskins and waders. "Guess it's making for a hum-dinger, George," he roared into my ears. "Ain't seen its like for a long time.
The jury rejoiced unwillingly, like the crowd in the bleachers when a man on the opposing team knocks a home run. The jury liked Jim better.

You can trust Bet in a tight place, but Kit is a new-comer." "Can Kit swim?" asked Phil. "A little," answered Shirley, "But I know she could never get along in rough water."
