Little by little, day by day, civilization was passing, the need for organization daily became more urgent. Yet the original caravan had split practically into three divisions within a hundred and fifty miles from the jump-off, although the bulk of the train hung to Wingate's company and began to shake down, at least into a sort of tolerance.
He was thinking hard and was quite willing not to be disturbed. But the disturbing came ten minutes after Mr. Wingate's departure and came in the nature of a very distinct disturbance.
"Shoes," said the foreman decidedly. "That snow'll be above the middle of the biggest horse in the outfit." So they set forth on their tramp up the slopes, peering right and left as they went for any indication of the absent woman. Wingate's old grief was knocking at his heart once more. A woman lost in the appalling vastness of this great Western land was entering into his life again.
"Ah said git out! Ye kain't go up the gorge nor over the ridge. Git out o' the mountains!" "Not this evening, we won't!" shouted Lieutenant Wingate, now thoroughly angered, as he gathered up his reins. Bang! A bullet from the mountaineer's rifle went through the peak of Hippy Wingate's campaign hat, lifting it from his head and depositing it on the ground.
I'm goin' to Californuah, With my wash pan on my knee. The news of the gold was out. Bridger forgot his cups, forgot his friends, hurried to Molly Wingate's cart again. "Hit's true, Miss Molly!" he cried "truer'n true hitself! Yan's men just in from Californy, an' they've got two horseloads o' gold, an' they say hit's nothin' they come out fer supplies.
The laughter was at best uneasy until at last a turn in the trail, a shift in the wizardry of the heat waves, broke up the ghostly caravan and sent it, figure by figure, vehicle by vehicle, into the unknown whence it had come. "This country!" exclaimed Molly Wingate's mother. "It scares me! If Oregon's like this " "It isn't, mother. It is rich and green, with rains.
Chuck letters like that on the fire, as they have, and keep cheerful. The streets of London are the safest place in the world. No cable from your friend in New York yet?" "Not a word," Dredlinton answered. "I expected it last night. You haven't forgotten that Wingate's due here this morning that is, if he keeps his appointment?" "Forgotten it? Not likely!" Phipps replied.
The limitations of young Ez's wardrobe had necessitated the speedy construction of one for the little adopt, and Miss Wingate's education along the lines of needle control was progressing at what she considered a remarkable rate. "Why, Martin Luther!" She looked down at him over a carefully poised needle.
Rather than remain unoccupied on board the gunboat, Gregory went to Colonel Wingate's headquarters and said that he should be very glad if he would allow him, while the flotilla remained at Berber, to assist in interrogating the fugitives who arrived from the south, and the spies employed to gain early information of the intentions and movements of the enemy.
Already we were picturing to ourselves poor Dreadnought Phipps, the first of your victims, seeking for an asylum in the Stock Exchange Almshouses; and the other desperado what was his name? Skinflint Martin? on his knees before you while you read him a moral lecture on the evils of speculation." Wingate's eyes twinkled.
