Why, he's where yu' want him to be. Standin' off, keepin' his mouth shut, and lettin' yu' find your own trail out. If he tried to show it to yu', yu'd likely hit him. But shucks! Circumstances have showed me the trail this time, you bet!" And the puncher's face, which had been sombre, grew lively, and he laid a friendly hand on my knee. "The trail's pretty simple," said I. "You bet!
Trail's Cold Water Institute, where the men and Bloomers all took a bath and a drink together. These sentiments were echoed by the newspapers, great and small, of the entire country.
Oh, I guess I'm grateful. I feel so I can't ever repay you. I've wanted to. I want that way now. And, say, you can't ever stop me again. You're glad I'm going to marry Keeko. Why, it just means all the world to me. Now I'm a man. I'm no fool kid any longer. The summer trail's over for me, and I'm going to take my place in the great fight you've been making all these years. You can't deny me now.
"Not a wheel has crossed their trail, and I reckon the trail's blocked both east and west. But the boys put up a fight." He led us here and there and showed dried blotches on the soil, half buried now in the shifting sand; showed us the bodies of a half-dozen ponies, killed a couple of hundred yards from the door of the dugout.
"I have," said Carrie, with resolute quietness. "I'm going." Jake smiled at his comrade. "You had better agree. When Carrie talks like that she can't be moved by argument.

Sight of Edd and George, who appeared in an open spot, somewhat quieted my mount. "Trail's gettin' hot up there," declared Edd. "That bear's bedded somewhere an' I'll bet the hounds jumped him. Listen to Old Tom!" How the deep sonorous bay of Old Tom awoke the echoes under the cliffs! And Old Dan's voice was a hoarse bellow. The other hounds yelped.
Hit it an' stick to it. All the little trail's leadin' into it needn't bother you." He swept his hand round to the west of the mountain. The direction did not tally with the idea I had gotten from Dick's letter. "I thought Penetier was on the north side of the mountains." "Who said so?" he asked, staring. "Don't I know this country? Take it from me."
Now note agin that the trail's spread here, and that here and thar a twig's snapped on the bushes along thar way; which the red-skins have done a purpose to make thar course conspicuous, to draw thar pursuers on arter 'em, prehaps for an ambush, prehaps to keep them from looking arter the others." "In this perplexity what are we to do?" inquired young Millbanks.
"He's wearing old, worn-out boots," said Yorke, "got awful big feet, too, I remember. Of course this trail's too beaten up from end to end to be able to get a line on foot-prints. We might work slowly back to your place, though, Mr. Gully, and keep a lookout for any place where he may have struck south off the trail, as the Sergeant says." It seemed the only thing to do.
