But," and his face lighted up again, "jest wait till I make my strike in th' diggings an' nuthin' 'll be tew good for her an' th' yunks." "Do you reckon we can make Sacramento City tew-night?" here broke in one of the men anxiously. "We was a calculatin' that we might." "Yes," answered Thure, "if you are willing to travel late; but you'll have to hustle to do it."
"Then we'll hustle," declared the man, who appeared to be the captain of the little company. "Everybody who wants tew git to Sacramento City tew-night git a-goin'," he shouted.
"Now," and he stretched his big frame and yawned, "seein' that we've 'tended tew all th' business that needs 'tendin' tew tew-night, we'd better try an' git a leetle more sleep afore mornin'. Leastwise I'm a-goin' tew," and, after a glance through the window to assure himself that everything was all safe and quiet around the Dickson house, he slipped a loaded pistol under his pillow and climbed into his bunk.
"Wal, thar is no use figgerin' on it any longer tew-night. Let's git back intew our blankets; an' maybe we can see things clearer in th' mornin'.

"An' we all hopes that y'ur luck will continue, 'til you gits enough tew send you back home in fine style not that we're none anxious tew see you go," he added hastily, "'cause 'twould be 'bout as painful an operation as bein' seperated from a sore tooth, to be seperated from that singin' apperatus of your'n. We'll be expectin' you tew come over an' sing some more for us tew-night."
I reckon thar won't be no more owl hootin' tew-night, leastwise not from that bird," and Ham chuckled. All now returned to the camp and to their blankets; and Ham resumed his watch in the dark shadows under the big tree. Ham was right. There was no more owl hooting that night. But the finding of that finger had brought uneasy thoughts to all.
"I reckon we otter make Humbug Canyon afore dark tew-night," Ham declared, as our friends, notwithstanding the break in their rest of the night before, moved out of the little valley, where they had camped, as soon as it became light enough to see the trail the next morning. "Yes," assented Mr. Conroyal, "but we will have to keep going to do it.
