Another grunt of surprise fell from the pathfinder's lips as he dropped the pellet in the palm of his hand. It was a strange-looking object, smooth, and curiously flattened. "Ver' soft bullet," said Mukoki. "Never know lead thin, thin out lak that!" With his knife he peeled off a thin slice of the ball. "Heem " He held up the two pieces. In the sun they gleamed a dull, rich yellow.
Once afloat, we are at the mercy of the winds and waves. Pathfinder will tell you that he who begins to chase the deer in the morning cannot tell where he will sleep at night." "But we are not chasing a deer, nor is it morning: so Pathfinder's moral is thrown away." "Although we are not chasing a deer, we are after that which may be as hard to catch.
And he was coughing a lot, too. After the meeting Westy and I and Mr. Ellsworth took him home, and just when we left him he asked us if maybe he'd live long enough to get the pathfinder's badge. And oh, gee, it made me feel good the way Mr. Ellsworth answered him.
He knows he can defy any sneaking Californian. "It must be some beast," he concludes, as he stumbles along the wind-swept path. Maxime Valois dreams of his far-away home on the "Lower Coast," near New Orleans. He wanders along, half asleep. This hillside is no magnolia grove. It is but a year since he joined the great "Pathfinder's" third voyage over the lonely American Desert.
He started in his youth with his face to the West; started toward where no trails had been blazed, where there was naught to meet him but the wilderness, the wild beast, and the still more savage man. He made his lonely camps by the rivers, and now it is a fiction with those who sleep on the same grounds that the waters in their flow murmur the great pathfinder's name.
But Pee-wee, out of the greatness of his scout heart, volunteered to be his guide, philosopher, and friend in these matters. "We'll show you how to do," he said. "If there's anything you don't understand you just come to me. I've got the camping badge and the pathfinder's badge, and the astronomer's badge " "He's an astronomer," interrupted Roy; "he knows all the movie stars."
He was up betimes and away, giving a wide berth to the larger towns; taking byways and cut-offs, yet always with the Western pathfinder's instinct, even among these alien, poplar-haunted plains, low-banked willow-fringed rivers, and cloverless meadows.
The enemy is just ready to strike; Jasper is anchored with his broadside to bear, and, no doubt, with springs on his cables; Pathfinder's eye and hand are as true as the needle; and we shall get prize-money, head-money, and honor in the bargain, if you will not interfere for the next half-hour." "Well," said Pathfinder, "I incline to Mabel's way of thinking.
You see it was this way: if Tom was going to win a scout award by finding a certain bird's nest in a certain tree, when he got to the place he would find that the tree had been chopped down. Once he was going to win the pathfinder's badge by trailing a burglar, and he trailed him seven miles through the woods and found that the burglar was his own good-for-nothing father.
It followed that Sergeant Dunham was not altogether qualified to appreciate his daughter's tastes, or to form a very probable conjecture what would be the direction taken by those feelings which oftener depend on impulses and passion than on reason. Still, the worthy soldier was not so wrong in his estimate of the Pathfinder's chances as might at first appear.
