"I knew he would," was the quiet remark of the stockman; and Frank understood that the other had been forming a favorable opinion of the chums from the minute he saw them come off the train. "Would you like that skin to remember the event by, Jerry?" Mr. Mabie asked, a little later, while they were watching the cowboys remove the hide.
Accordingly, they started out, going down the valley. "The walk will do us good, anyhow," declared Frank, "even if we don't run across any big game." "I was asking Mr. Mabie about moose, and he said that occasionally one is seen in this region, though generally they hang out further east.
Of course, they fairly deluged him with questions about the habits of the big game of the West, which he answered to the best of his ability. "Wait till we get out with Martin Mabie, fellows. He's on the ground, and can set us straight.
Hamilton Mabie says: "Among Americans education is not only a discipline, a training; it is also a symbol. It means living an ampler life in a larger world." The church-Home Missions from the beginning has been the largest factor in the spread of schools and colleges the greatest single educative force of this country.
We must make it a point to run up and see Jesse before we go, and thank him." "You're right about that, Jerry," said Frank warmly. "I was thinking the same, myself. But here's the letter. Read it for yourselves." Various were the comments after this had been done. "Talk to me about your good fellows! That Martin Mabie stands in a class of his own," observed Jerry.
Somehow, Frank felt a strong sense of sympathy for the old exiled chief. "You see the rancher, Mr. Mabie. I think he can do something for you," he said. "I know him. He no like Running Elk and the Crees. Once they take some cattle that stampede and wander far away. Never forget or forgive that wrong. Better not see rancher. Go on down river soon, sell few pelts, and buy gun. Mebbe all right."
Mabie, as he appeared with his gun strapped across his back, as the easiest way of carrying it. A chorus of affirmatives greeted his question. "Then mount, and we'll be off. They've gone on ahead last night with the tents and foodstuff, so that we'll find things in pretty much shipshape when we get on the ground."
Even then I've known him to shake a fellow out of a small tree, and only for the assistance of the others he must have killed the youngster." "A grizzly can't climb a tree, then, sir?" questioned Will uneasily. "Not ordinarily. He might manage to swarm up if the trunk was inclined about forty-five degrees. Select straight ones, and of some size; then you're safe." "Thank you, Mr. Mabie.
Later, this was supplemented by the engagement of Hamilton W. Mabie, who for years reviewed the newest books. In almost every issue of the magazine there appeared also an article addressed to the literary novice. In the minds of these misinformed writers, these back-stairs are gained by "knowing the editor" or through "having some influence with him."
Mabie had certainly quite won their youthful hearts by his genial ways. Frank was the last one to meet with an adventure on this occasion, which was fated to be written down in his logbook as worthy of remembrance. He had been out riding, and his horse, stepping into a gopher hole, threw him. Frank was not seriously hurt, but the horse went lame, so that he could not be ridden.
