The boy colored hotly as he realized the idea of selfishness that there had been in his speech. "I beg your pardon," he said. "No, I see. But it does seem strange, just the same, that he should be out here." "He wouldn't be happy anywhere else." "Excuse me, Mrs. Davis," said the boy, who had caught something of the Supervisor's abruptness, "but what brought him here?"
For the boy was perfectly sure that not a detail would escape the Supervisor's eye. Accordingly, he was able to take the trip quietly and trotted easily into camp a quarter of an hour ahead of time. He was heartily welcomed by McGinnis, while Merritt told him to go in and get a snack, as they would start in a few minutes.
They would ride slowly, and stay a day longer in Jason to rest. When they arrived at Jason, Dorothy immediately went to bed. She wanted to be at her best on the following day. She was going to talk with Mr. Shoop. It was a very serious matter. And next morning she excused herself while her father bought supplies. She called at the supervisor's office. Bud Shoop beamed.
Accordingly Bob saddled his horse, and followed the messenger back to the Supervisor's summer quarters. After an hour and a half of pleasant riding through the great forest, the trail dropped into a wagon road which soon led them to a fine, open meadow. "Where does the road go to in the other direction?" Bob asked his guide.
"Oh, that's all right," the doctor replied, in true Western fashion; "I'll do as much more for you any time." And he rode away, leaving at least one person too happy to sleep. The same person was on the veranda next morning when Cavanagh, dressed in the Supervisor's best suit of gray cassimere, came striding across the lawn too impatient of the winding drive to follow it.
The certificates are supplied in books of two hundred by the Excise authorities, and the blocks must be kept available for the supervisor's scrutiny. Any certificates can be obtained from the receivers of the spirit and compared with the blocks. Forged permits are very risky things to work with, as all genuine ones bear the government watermark, which is not easy to reproduce.
The miner dug his heels, spurred, into the sides of his horse, and the animal in fear and desperation leaped over the hissing branch that lay upon the bridge. The Supervisor's horse and Kit followed suit. As they landed on the other side, however, the head of the forest reined in for a moment, and looking round, shouted suddenly: "The mill!" Wilbur pulled in Kit.
Also, at this very station, is the Supervisor's office of the Forestry Department. By inquiry here, the newcomer can ascertain all facts as to tenting outfit and camping place. Only one point must be kept in mind do not go into the National Forests expecting the railroads, or the rangers, or Providence, to look after you. Do not go unless you are prepared to look after yourself.
Shoop immediately called attention to Bondsman, who was gently tugging at the supervisor's pants leg. "Now, look at that! Do you know what he's tellin' me? He's tellin' me I got a piano in that there cabin and we ain't had a duet for quite a spell. That there dog bosses me around somethin' scandalous." Bondsman slipped from beneath Dorothy's hand as she stooped to pat him.
"I settle a lot of these little matters that aren't worth bothering Ashley with," she explained, "but I tie a string to each of my decisions. I always make them 'subject to the Supervisor's approval. Then if I do wrong, all I have to do is to write the man and tell him the Supervisor does not approve." "I shouldn't think you'd like that," said Bob. "Like what?"
