It's a wild trip, and has to be made on horseback." "They'll want to go. None of us is a good rider, but we'll do our best" "Very well, I'll have three horses." "Do you think Mr. Tevis will have some news of my father?" asked Jack, a note of anxiety coming into his voice. "I shouldn't be surprised," was the cautious answer. "Mr. Tevis can generally be depended on to produce the goods.
"Where is he?" asked Jack, hardly able to sit still. "While I can't say exactly," Mr. Tevis went on, "I know he is somewhere in a small range of mountains called Golden Glow. He has a small cabin there, and manages to make a living by doing some mining. He has one companion, whom he can trust, and who goes back to civilization once in a while to get food and supplies.
"Perhaps we'll see you again," said Nat. "Have you ever been out west?" "In my younger days," replied the miner. "I had a friend once named Travers um no that wasn't exactly his name either. Travis Trellis Tennis " "Tevis!" exclaimed Jack, struck by a sudden inspiration. "That's it!" cried Mr. Post. "I knew it was something that sounded like a grape vine. He and I used " But what Mr.
This knowledge, Tevis was thinking, this important realization, contributed more to her loveliness than any other thing about her; more than her smooth, ivory skin or her changing grey eyes, the delicate forehead above them, or even the dazzling smile, which was gradually becoming too bright and too intentional, out in the world, at least.
Kitty nodded, and Tevis sat watching her indolently while he debated how much of his story he ought not to tell her. Kitty liked being looked at by intelligent persons. She knew exactly how good looking she was; and she knew, too, that, pretty as she was, some of those rather sallow women in the Simon painting had a kind of beauty which she would never have.
She looked at her finger-tips and her rings disapprovingly for a moment. "Do you know, I've been thinking that I would rather like to lay hands on that youngster. I believe he'd be interesting. I'm bored with the world." Tevis looked up and said quickly: "Would you like him, really?" "Of course I should," she said indignantly. "But, then, I like other things, too; and one has to choose.
I can help to feed the lamp, but I can't supply the dear things it shines upon." "Well, tonight it shines upon you and me, and we aren't so bad." Tevis stepped forward and took her hand affectionately. "You've been over a rough bit of road. I'm so sorry. It's left you looking very lovely, though. Has it been very hard to get on?" She brushed his hand gratefully against her cheek and nodded.
"It is in line with the mountain, and, I remember it was in this direction we were looking when the men captured us. Oh Nat! Perhaps I shall soon find him. Come on. Mr. Tevis said it was at the end of the valley. I am going to find him! Hurry, Nat!" But Nat needed no urging. He followed close after Jack, who was moving around the edge of the lake, to reach the other part of the broken flume.
I've a nasty little operation to do this morning. I'm glad it's not you. Shall I telephone Tevis about this evening?" Kitty hesitated. Creedon laughed. "Oh, I see. You've already asked him to come. You were so sure of me! Two hours in bed after lunch, with all the windows open, remember. Read something diverting, but not exciting; some homely British author; nothing abandonné.
"There!" came from Jack, and he pointed down the slope ahead of them. "It is just in line with that other peak!" The two boys looked to where he pointed. Sure enough, they saw the landmark Orion Tevis had mentioned. "To-morrow I may see my father!" said Jack in a low tone. Hardly had he spoken the words when there was a noise behind them, and the boys turned to see two horsemen riding up.
