You look all right. There's never anybody but muckers there Saturday nights. We'll miss it all if you stop to prink." "All right," she cried, and hurried through the dinner. He was glad at least that he had escaped a solemn evening at home. He could not keep awake at home. So they went to the theater; but there was not "nobody there," as he had promised.
"I want a sub-grade foreman at seven dollars eight hours! "I want skinners, muckers, hard-rock men for Washington. I want lumberjacks for Washington long job good pay! I want hard-rock men for Alaska the harder the better. And I want " Here Orr Tweet grasped the enthusiast's sleeve. "How about those jerkline skinners for southern California?" he asked. "Saw it in the paper."
"And all on account of such a gang of muckers as the fellows who call themselves Dick & Co.!" Nor did young Bayliss fare any better on his return home that night. He, too, was ordered away for the remainder of the summer by his father, who had just returned from abroad, nor was he allowed to accompany Bert Dodge. What of Dick & Co. during all this time?
"If you're not afraid -if you're as thoroughly game as I am -then we'll have some satisfaction out of those fellows." "Lead me to it!" ordered Bayliss hotly. "I will, to-morrow morning," promised Bert Dodge. "If you stick to me, we'll make those muckers sorry they ever knew us!" "We must be under way by nine o'clock," the listeners heard Dick say. "We go west, over Main Street.
"We broke up one night of sleep for the muckers with those bombs, but I've an idea that the night we shot off sixty rounds of blank shotgun shells that they had already moved. But now I have a brand-new one that we can use and make them break camp and run for home as fast as they can go.
"Dewey, Sampson & Schley!" jeered Don Melville, in a low tone, yet loud enough to be heard by Jack's party. Yet the boys paid no heed, but would have passed in silence, had not Don added, insultingly: "The three little muckers!" That was too much for Eph. He couldn't help turning, the flush mounting to his cheeks, to retort: "Speak for yourself!" Don took a step forward.
"Hoist our banners, and let them proclaim: 'Down with the muckers!" laughed Hudson, rolling up the hem of his sweater. "We want a good, not too fast but steady jog back to town," announced Bayliss. At the first sign that the "soreheads" were preparing to leave the spot Dick had taken advantage of their noise to slip away. Dave had followed him successfully.
At any rate he was not afraid of lightning. Aided by the flashes he searched along the side of the road until he found a branch of a tree that he shaped into a club with his knife. "I won't wake Prescott's muckers," he reflected, "and I want to be sure to attract the dog's notice if he is on guard."
"Maybe I couldn't use that kind of a cut-down horse!" glowed Tom Reade, while Harry and Dan looked on longingly. "That's what the muckers are here after!" thought Fred Ripley, who had been watching them closely. "Now, no matter how much money they may think they have, I'll show them how easy it is for a fellow of my financial standing to step in and get the chestnut pony away from them!"
He had squared out his shaft and sunk on the vein only as far as the muckers could throw out the waste; and then, instead of installing a windlass or a whim, he had decided upon a gallows-frame and hoist. But to bring in his machinery he must first have a road, for the trail was all but impassable; and so, without sinking, he had blasted his way up the canyon, only to find his efforts wasted.
