All leapt from their blankets, and looking up they could see by the light of the fire that the poles supporting the skin were all bent in a curve downwards. "Jee-rusalem!" Sam Hicks exclaimed, "the whole outfit will be coming down on us." "That it will, Sam. You see, there is no wind as there was before, and one of our jobs will be keeping the roof clear of snow.
'Jee-rusalem! thinks I, 'Jonesy's niece! I had visions of a thin, yaller, sour little piece, with mouse-coloured hair plastered down on her head, and an unkind word for everybody. Jonesy told me about her being in college, and then I stuck a pair of them nose-grabber specks on the picture.
"No kill" she said, smiling, a little rueful and embarrassed again, with her eyes on the ground. Then, as the Boy still stood there waiting, "Joe," she whispered, glancing over her shoulder "Joe want me be he squaw." The Boy fell back an astonished step. "Jee-rusalem! He's got a pretty way o' sayin' so. Why don't you tell your father?" "Tell father?" It seemed never to have occurred to her.
It was Jacker Mack who sounded the first note of dismay. 'Jee-rusalem! How 'bout the toll? Nobody had thought of the toll-bar, and there were the big, white gates already in sight, stretching across the road, threatening to bring dismal failure upon the expedition when complete success seemed imminent. 'Down with the fence! ordered the implacable Moonlighter.
"No, that's it," expounded Wunpost, "you haven't got my system they's no use for you to turn prospector. Now look in this crack notice that stuff up and down there? Well, now, that's where I'd look to find gold." "Jee-rusalem!" exclaimed the barkeeper, or words to that effect, and dropped down to dig out the rock.
"Jee-rusalem! but it's a steep road," Jerry said presently. "I am dog-goned if I can guess how the red-skins ever discovered it. I expect they must have tracked some game up it, and followed to see where it went to." The trail wound about in a wonderful way.
"Pitcairn's opinion is thought a lot of. The Geologic Survey men listen to Pitcairn. He helped them one year. He's one of those extraordinary old miners who can tell from the look of things, without even panning. When he saw that pyrites on Idaho Bar he stopped dead. 'This looks good to me! he said, and, Jee-rusalem! it was good!"
As Helen received her portion Saunders said: "Here, Miss Merival, is a fat part must be yours. Jee-rusalem the golden! I'd hate to tackle that rôle." Douglass was ready to collar the ass for his impudent tone, but Helen seemed to consider it no more than the harmless howl of a chair sliding across the floor. She was inured to the old-time "assistant stage-manager."
The stranger smiled his thanks in a way that made Martin look at his clerk with a mournful eye. "Jee-rusalem! Now, Eddie, why can't you smile like that? Say, if I had that fellow behind this soda counter I'd be doing a rushing business every night."
Still, it ain't made me feel any kind of love for Mormons. When about two hundred shots have been fired at a man it makes him feel kinder like as if he war going to pay some of them back when he gets the chance, and you may bet I mean to." "Jee-rusalem!" The exclamation was elicited by the fall of a heavy mass of snow on to the fire, over which the kettle had just begun to boil.
