"A palace fit for a king," he remarked, half aloud, as he glanced around upon his handiwork. "Now for supper." A little bacon, a few beans, a taste of sourdough bread, with some black tea for a relish, formed the humble repast. In the meantime the dog had crept close, attracted by the warm, bright fire, and stood looking wistfully upon the bacon lying before him.
He knew of a spring where the water was sweet and cold, and where a lonesome young fellow lived by himself and was always glad to see some one ride up to his door. The young fellow was what is called a good feeder, and might be depended upon to have a pot of frijoles cooked, and sourdough bread, and stewed fruit of some kind even in his leanest times, and call himself next door to starvation.
The man retreated, muttering to himself as he went, for he was utterly routed, and never returned; neither did we hear any more for some time about moving our tents. It was as I suspected. Mr. Sourdough had thought to frighten us away, and the order from the chief of police was utterly bogus.
"Dat's good sign." The speaker slipped his arms into his pack- harness and adjusted the tumpline to his forehead preparatory to rising. "You goin' mak' good 'sourdough' lak me. You goin' love de woods and de hills wen you know 'em. I can tell. Wal, I see you bimeby at Wite 'Orse." "White Horse? Is that where you're going?" "Yes. I'm batteau man; I'm goin' be pilot."
That old sourdough had deliberately lain awake and tried to trumpet my second man from the precincts which Whinnie felt he'd already preempted. He had attempted to snore poor Peter off the map and away from Alabama Ranch! Saturday the Thirtieth The sedatest lives, I suppose, have their occasional Big Surprises. Life, at any rate, has just treated me to one.
Solidly frozen sourdough biscuits were likewise placed to thaw. In twenty minutes from the time they halted, the meal was ready to eat. "About forty below," Shorty mumbled through a mouthful of beans. "Say I hope it don't get colder or warmer, neither. It's just right for trail breaking." Smoke did not answer.
But, when all is said, no words could hurt this curious monomaniac now, after that which he had seen with his own eyes and that which he now saw. Complete enlightenment had come to old Sourdough in one fraction of a moment. In the moment when he reached earth, on his back, flung there by his impact with the calculated screwing thrust of Jan's massive shoulder, Sourdough knew that his day was over.
Sourdough tore his hair. He was wild with anger. The floor of madam's tent went down and stayed. Each day I was in the habit of giving my Swedish friends a call, and found them finally ready to set up their restaurant tent.
The story went that in his youth Sourdough had led a team of sled-dogs, and that he had saved Moore's life on one occasion when every one of his team-mates had either died or deserted his post. He was of the mixed northern breed whose members are called huskies, but he was bigger and heavier than most huskies and weighed just upon a hundred pounds.
