Allen bounded from his chair, shaking himself like a terrier. This riotous sound was the music he longed to hear. When the staccato beats of the ponies' hoofs ceased, he shouted: "Come on, boys, make this your home. Everything goes, and the Sweetwater outfit is always welcome." The foreman was the first to pull up in front of the house. "Hullo, Uncle Jim!" he cried.
Before them now lay the entry mark of the Sweetwater Valley, that strange oblong upthrust of rock, rising high above the surrounding plain, known for two thousand miles as Independence Rock. At this point, more than eight hundred miles out from the Missouri, a custom of unknown age seemed to have decreed a pause.
Then we shall find the canoe and our outfit, and go right back home to Sweetwater Bridge." "Trip comin' to an abrupt conclusion, eh?" queried Rube. "That's about the size of it," nodded Kiddie.
