I believe as a people we Canadians, perhaps, do err on the sordid side of the practical, but it also makes for solidity and national strength. Ten years have witnessed a complete change in the class of Englishmen coming to Canada. The drifter, the floater, the make-shift, rarely comes.
"The Drifter has got to be found," resumed the manager. "It is our first perfected model, and we can hardly build its counterpart in time for full seasonal exhibitions. We think you are the man to find it, Dashaway." "Oh, Mr. Randolph," said Dave with a slight start. "I am expressing the opinion of the head men in the company here, who knew your good record.
"Our belief is that the Drifter was selected as the nearest and highest type of aircraft in existence. The people who stole it did so with some definite purpose in view." "What could that purpose be?" asked Dave. "We cannot as yet decide. One thing is certain they will not venture to use it at any of the aero meets." "Then they must design to take it to a distance." "Of course."
For twelve months I've been goin' acrass the moors to see a sister of mine, who's lonely, poor saul, havin' lost her man in the war drawned in a drifter 'e was and catchin' this wagonette back every night, with never a saul to speak to, until last night. Last night there was a passerger, and to-night there's you. Tes strange, come to think of it."
I believe the Drifter was started on its way over the Canadian border." "And the two men with Jerry?" asked Mr. King. "I can't figure out that they could be anybody but Jerry's father and the man who left Columbus with them Ridgely." "The man the revenue officer was looking for!" exclaimed Hiram.

He did not yet feel normal, so he sat down on one of the boxes and felt about his head. "Just a bruise," he reported. "I suppose they, dragged me aboard of the Drifter from the water, but what about Hiram and the Monarch II?"
But such figures would have sounded fantastic in FitzGerald's day, for I have been assured over and over again by herring fishers that in the sixties and seventies, ay, even in the eighties of last century, 20 pounds was a "good season's share" for a prominent hand of a successful drifter.
Dave was planning a visit on foot to that town. He decided, however, that he would wait till afternoon so as to be sure that there was no occasion for worry. Both lads discovered the fallacy of their theories at the same moment. "Look!" suddenly shouted Hiram, pointing. "I see," said Dave calmly, but under the surface greatly stirred up. "It's the Drifter!" "Yes." "What are you going to do?"
Of course, to start with, I'll just build little shacks and cabins. See what I mean? I am going to write articles first and they're kind of like barns and shacks, and even mere fences. But by and by I'll write fiction stories, and they will be like the mansions, and the material will all fit in: all about a fisherman, all about a market hunter, all about a drifter, all about a river "
For the first time her suspicions were aroused, yet she would not believe that this gentle, amiable drifter could be guilty of any crime greater than negligence or carelessness. But why his evident embarrassment now? The girl was mystified. For a moment or two they sat in silence, then Barbara rose. "I must run along back now," she explained. "Papa will be wondering what has become of me."
