There was an uncomfortable pause, then the speaker continued: "Look here. It's no use to flush around. We want a piece of this creek." "What are you goin' to do with it?" "Cut that out, Lee. We're on." "Who wised you up to this?" inquired the miner, angrily, for he had other friends besides those present whom he wished to profit by this strike, and he had hoped to keep out this scum.
The young man stopped, not able to believe his ears, but supposed that pain had made the princess cross, as it sometimes does. However, he guessed somehow that she wised to be left alone, so he only said: 'Well, I dare say a little sleep will do you good, if you can manage to get it, and that you will wake up better to-morrow.
"Damn your hide," he said, lowly, "you had me goin'. I'm dead set on seein' that girl git a square deal, an' when I saw you makin' a play for them damned outlaws that are in the outfit, I sure figured there'd be hell a-poppin' around the Rancho Seco.

"Didn't you recognize me when you first saw me with Miss Sherwood?" "Yes." "Weren't you surprised?" "Nope," he answered with deliberate monosyllabioness. "Why not?" "I'd been wised up that I'd be likely to meet you and here." "Here! By whom?" "By advice of counsel I must decline to answer." "Why didn't you tell Miss Sherwood who I am and show me up?"

It's likely that they wised up to the fact that we were on to them."
I'm duly sworn in as extra guard and I'm not the only one, neither." "Did he come after you?" Miss Eliot indicated the ruffian at his side. "I seen the lady owner blew the bunch," that worthy remarked with a hoarse chuckle. "I wised Mike, all right. Whatcha goin' to do about it?" "Mrs. Brewster-Smith, the owner," Miss Eliot observed, "didn't seem to know that she had employed you. How about that?"
