As she approached the stern of the Flagship, however, the uproar subsided, and the densely thronged drifter was white with upturned, expectant faces. A solitary figure was walking up and down the quarterdeck of the Battleship. He paused a moment, suddenly stepped right aft to the rail, and smilingly clapped his hands, applauding the trophy in the bows of the drifter.
For the branding was not yet finished, and the storm threatened more malignantly. Chip saddled Silver, his own particular "drifter," eyed the clouds appraisingly and swung into the saddle for a fifteen-mile ride to the home ranch and his wife, the Little Doctor. "You can make it, all right, if yuh half try," he encouraged. "It isn't going to cut loose before dark, if I know the signs.
Dave was very tired and Hiram pretty sleepy, when, at three o'clock in the morning, the machine came to rest on a little reed-covered island in the center of a swampy stretch. "We may stay here for several days, I don't know exactly how long," the young aviator told his assistant. "You don't suppose that the Dawsons and the Drifter are anywhere near here, do you?" inquired Hiram.
The man expanded under her smiles, her teasing, her playfulness, her affection. Neale had no pang in divining the love Larry bore Allie.

"You know, it is all a theory so far." "As the facts stand, I have no doubt from your story that Ridgely is one of the men who ran away with the Drifter," declared the officer.
The usual thing. Things seem to be going on all right." He laughed. "It mustn't run too smoothly." "Don't laugh, Freddy. Michael thought you would think it cheek he won't allow me to consider myself bound to him." She laughed deliriously. "The dear boy wants me to feel free to change my mind, because he's 'a drifter, because he thinks he isn't a good enough match for your sister.
"But that's what you are, dearest a practical mystic. You are a woman with two sides to your nature the intensely practical and the subconsciously mystic. Egypt has developed the mystic half your Lampton forbears are responsible for the other." "The Lampton half of me keeps my two feet firmly planted on the earth, Mike." "The mystic half loves this silly drifter." He pressed her to him.

"And now, doctor, you and I will carry him into the house and keep Sir Francis company. The three of us will have an eye on all the prisoners then, till I can get some fellows up from the drifter to escort them.
"That country's goin' to blossom!" declared the Drifter. "An' the guy which gets in on the ground floor is goin' to make a clean-up! They's a range there the Double A which is right in the middle of things. A guy named Bransford owns her an' Bransford's on his last legs. He's due to pass out pronto, or I'm a gopher! He's got a daughter there Mary which is a pippin, an' no mistake!
