It's all safe so far, even to the hunk of sealing-wax. What is it, sergeant?" A tall, soldierly, dark-eyed trooper appears at the door-way of the little tent, and raises his gauntleted hand in salute.

He met the private-car business with a straw ride and his prize offering was a hunk of spruce gum from his pine woods, as big as your two fists; and, so far as we could see, the gum got exactly the same warmth of reception as the candy though it didn't disappear with anywhere near the rapidity.

But the inviting look of the viands with which she was rapidly setting the table soon distracted his attention, and allowing himself one grunt of satisfaction, he drew up a chair and set himself down to what to him was evidently a most savory repast. "No beer? No ale? Nothing o' that sort, eh? Don't keep a bar?" he growled, as his teeth closed on a huge hunk of bread.

"How could he do that if he wasn't there?" He turned upon Hunk Smith.
"Looky here, you thinkin’ of grub stakin’? I ain’t gonna—" "Suppose you had yourself a stack of cart wheels and my pockets were to let?" Drew retorted. "I think I remember me some times when we had one blanket and a hunk of hardtack between us, and there weren’t any ’yours’ or ’mine’ about it! Or don’t you think back that far?" Anse laughed.
