And up there at the edge of the wood was Chad standing and, at his feet, Jack sitting on his haunches, with his tongue out and looking as though nothing had happened or could ever happen to Chad or to him.

"Dad ain't hyeh this mornin'," she volunteered as Ruth climbed off her pony. "I came to see you," said Ruth, smiling. She threw the reins over the pony's head and advanced, holding out a hand. "I am Ruth Harkness," she added, "the new owner of the Flying W. I have been here almost a month, and I just heard that I had a neighbor. Wont you shake hands with me?" "I reckon," said the girl.
"It's mighty hard to do what your neighbors ain't doin'," pursued the Virginian. "Montana is all cattle, an' these folks must be cattle, an' never notice the country right hyeh is too small for a range, an' swampy, anyway, an' just waitin' to be a frawg ranch." At this, all wore a face of careful reserve.
"I'll get an expert before I pay cash," was the prompt answer, "but I want to know what you think." "Well, then, sir," Colin answered, "I think it's good ground, but not good enough." "Ah got a betteh one than this hyeh, boss," put in the boatman, "it's mah brotheh's, but he might be willin' to sell. Costs mo' than mine, though." "Take us there," ordered the capitalist.
"Right you air, stranger. He tol' me you was a expert." The old man laughed loudly. "An' that's why you come over hyeh." "No, it isn't." "Co'se not," the old fellow laughed again. Hale shifted the talk. "Well, now that you know my name, suppose you tell me what yours is?" "Tolliver Judd Tolliver." Hale started. "Not Devil Judd!" "That's what some evil folks calls me." Again he spoke shortly.
We got right frien'ly, an' he knew he was always welcome hyeh, an' one day I asked him jes' that question. It was shortly befo' he lef' an' I wanted to know what he thought about us all up hyeh." The mountaineer leaned back in his chair and chuckled with evident enjoyment of the recollection. "I jes' put the question to him," he said, "in the mildes' way, an' he started right in to talk.
"All right, come along," he said to the captives, and at last young Dave spoke: "Whut you takin' me fer?" Hale pointed to the empty hand-barrel and Dave's answer was a look of scorn. "I nuvver brought that hyeh." "You were drinking illegal liquor in a blind tiger, and if you didn't bring it you can prove that later.
"Jason," said the old man sternly, "whut's the matter out hyeh?" Marjorie pointed one finger at Mavis, started to speak, and stopped. Jason's eyes fell. "Nothin'," he said sullenly, and Colonel Pendleton looked to his son with astonished inquiry, and the lad's fine face turned bewildered and foolish. "I don't know, sir," he said at last. "Don't know?" echoed the colonel. "Well "
"Ye didn't know I had a great-grandchild, did ye? That's it a-hollerin'. Talk about Easter bein' too young to merry! Why hit's mother air two year younger'n Easter. Jes come in hyeh a minit." The old mountaineer rose and led the way into the cabin. Clayton was embarrassed at first.
"As you say, Rome, thar's nobody left but you, 'n' nobody but me; but they burned you out, we hain't even yit." Her eyes were on Thunderstruck Knob, where the last sunlight used to touch the Stetson cabin. "Hyeh, Rome!" He knew what she meant, and he kneeled at the pile of kindling-wood near the kitchen door. Then they stood back and waited.
