"The law is the foundation there can't be any progress without it. There is nothing here now but disorder." "There isn't half the disorder you think there is. There weren't any crimes in this country till the tenderfeet arrived. We didn't know what a thief was. If you came to a cabin you walked in without knocking.
We loved wild horse riding but we got so beastly full of lice that we quit. We have caught lice several times from the tourists, and tenderfeet but could always get rid of them other places by the cowboy method At night take off your shirt turn it inside out spread it over an ant-hill, and in the morning the ants have all you company preserved for the coming winter.
I don't mind bein' umpire in the ancient and honorable game of croquet, but I ain't goin' to assume no unpaid obligations as coroner." With some protests all those engaged handed their belts to Dan Anderson, who casually flung them over a projecting cedar limb of the fence. "For shame! Curly," said he. "Talk about tenderfeet!
It was not one in which tenderfeet deserted their jobs and took to the hills, but a stirring amongst the stiff bones of old prospectors who had given up the fight but were now infused with new courage. In Fisette they saw the man who had won out for the second time while they sat and smoked.
"There ain't no doubt of it; he come to the ranch soon after we'd gone and larned all 'bout you tenderfeet from the boys themselves. The thought come to him at once that one of the chances of his lifetime was his. It's queer he made the mistake of believing that it was the father of the other younker as owned part of the ranch, but he got matters twisted in some way.
The stern-faced stranger grinned appreciatively. "You are not the fellows who came in at State Line the other day, are you?" "Ye -yes, we're the bu -bu -bunch." "Oh, fudge!" groaned the stranger. "And to think I've been to all this trouble to round up a bunch of tenderfeet." The man thrust his revolver into its holster with a grunt of disgust. "I'm Withem," he snapped. "So am I," answered Chunky.
"To tell the truth," admitted the other, smilingly; "time was when I wouldn't have thought of noticing a single thing about such a man; but you see, I've been studying up the rules and suggestions our scout-master loaned me, and it keeps on telling greenhorns and tenderfeet to always be on the lookout, so as to remember what they see.
"I forgot you were tenderfeet, boys. We call a grizzly by that name out here. This fellow we have known for some time. Hunting him has never proven a profitable business, and, as a rule, he has never before come so far out in the open; but hunger tempted the old chap, and the man who galloped in told me he was even then dragging the yearling he had killed in the direction of the hills."
The animals threw their weights against their breastbands on the instant, crouching low to the snow, and digging in their claws. And so, running, man and dogs dipped over the bank and down to the frozen bed of the Yukon, and in the gray light were gone. Tenderfeet. Old-timers. Muc-luc: a water-tight, Eskimo boot, made from walrus-hide and trimmed with fur.
"You have done fully as well as I could have done. Ahem!" "Really remarkable shooting for tenderfeet," declared the captain. "Tenderfeet? Well, I like that!" grumbled Stacy. "Why, I'm a lion fighter, I am!" "And a snake man as well," grinned the Ranger. "Yes. I'm no tenderfoot. Did I run away when the shooting was going on last night? I guess not. "No, he was too scared to run," snorted Rector.
