"I had been seein' this hyeh Yellowstone Park, takin' in its geysers, and this and that, for my enjoyment; and when I found what they claimed about its strange sights to be pretty near so, I landed up at Galena Creek to watch the boys prospectin'. Honey Wiggin, yu' know, and McLean, and the rest.

Why, darn my skin, when that 'reflex' met the current at the other end, it just swirled around again in what Captain Fairfax called the 'centrifugal curve, and just went round and round the canyon like ez when yer washin' the dirt out o' a prospectin' pan every now and then washin' some one of the boys that was in it, like scum, up ag'in the banks.
"And found nothing?" "You're mistaken there, pard. I found more than I expected." "What, gold?" asked several in chorus. "Been prospectin'?" "No." "A pretty squaw?" "Ha, ha. No, not this time; they're too d scarce." "Well, what did you find, man? Don't be so mysterious."
"But a man that has to work by the day fur enough to take him through the prospectin' season can't blow any of his dust on frivolous things like pie. The hard-workin' plain food is the kind he has to tote, and I never heard of pie bein' in anybody's grub-stake either.
The claim is filed O.

"Why, no," retorted Hemsley, a trifle confused, "she didn't not in so many words." He turned to the girl. "Who is this man? Tell me everything; you needn't be afraid, Miss Crane."
"From your report of what you heard," says I, "and from the looks of the ground 'n everything, I should judge that the Harbor Hills Exploring and Excavating Co. had been making a night raid on our property."
