If They knew, and if They knew it was safe to come back and mine here, when the world has so great need of gold, you better believe They would come and mine, But They do not know; They do not know."

You'll probably learn a few things on that trip." "Are you a jerkline skinner?" "I dunno. Maybe I am. I never tried. But if that's what you wanta hit me, too. Say, what's your name?" "Hiram Hooker." "That's a peach, all right. They sure labeled you for the part. Mine ain't much better though. They call me Twitter-or-Tweet." "What!" "Proves I'm a bird, don't it? My name is Orr Tweet.
'N' if you don't do it I'll go out there m'self 'n' choke the dang skunk t' death!" "I'll kill him don't worry about that," Lite promised and the look in his eyes told them that the Indian was doomed at the first sign of treachery. "You fellers wanta keep an eye peeled fer them in the grove," Applehead warned.
Cadet Candidate Tom Corbett," answered the boy. "Wanta be a spaceman, do ya?" asked Mike, pushing his jaw out another inch. "Yes, sir!" "Been studying long hard hours in primary school, eh? Talked your mother and father deaf in the ears to let you come to Space Academy and be a spaceman! You want to feel those rockets bucking in your back out in the stars?
You come inside where yuh can't watch it. That's what does the damage watchin' and wonderin' and then goin' to see. I bet you wanta strike out right now and see just what it is." I didn't admit it, but Casey had guessed exactly what was in my mind. I was itching with curiosity and trying to ignore the creepiness of it.
This display had a good effect, for they stopped pulling at once, and the man steering stood up. The moment I got a full view of him and heard him speak, I knew that Hannah was right about the identity of the strangers. 'We are a ship-a-wreck men, he called out; 'we wanta water and provis'. 'Well, pull abeam or us to windward, but don't come alongside just yet. 'All right, was the answer.
"You done fine, but seems like you showed a tendency to freeze onto the wheel when we were coming down; yuh don't wanta do that, bo. Keep your control easy flexible, like. Now we'll go back where the girl is and make a landing there. And then we'll make a flight as far as is safe on our teacup of gas!" "I brought five gallons; that ought to run us a ways," Johnny pointed out.
Finally he sat down on a log of driftwood. "And you were there," he managed to gasp to Billy at last. "You saw it. You saw it." He turned to Saxon. " And you?" She nodded. "Say," Billy began again, as their laughter eased down, "what I wants know is what'd you wanta do it for. Say, what'd you wants do it for? I've been askin' that to myself ever since." "So have I," was the answer.
"You wanta shake a leg to-day, old fellow, and throw dust in that tinhorn's face," he murmured to his four-footed friend, gentling it with little pats of love and admiration. "Adios, Chiquito. I know you won't throw off on yore old pal. So long, old pie-eater." Across the mesa Dave galloped back, swung from the saddle, and made a bee-line for breakfast.
He suggested an insurance policy to Casey, not half so jokingly as he tried to sound. Casey turned and gave him a pale blue, unwinking stare. "Say! Never you mind gettin' out insurance on this auty-mo-bile. What you wanta do is insure the cars that's liable to meet up with me in the trail." Bill saw the sense of that, too, and said no more about insuring Casey.
