Then it was that Westerfelt remarked that Slogan's face looked troubled, and that a general air of agitation rested on him. "I wish you'd step out, if you please, John," he said, after a moment, "I've been walkin' so blamed fast I've mighty nigh lost my breath. I'm blowin' like a stump-suckin' hoss." Westerfelt went to him. "What is the matter, Slogan?" he questioned, in a tone of concern.

I went back to where he had tumbled him.
"Oh, yes," said John, "I have ridden a good deal one time and another." "Never c'd see the sense on't," declared David. "I c'n imagine gettin' on to a hoss's back when 't was either that or walkin', but to do it fer the fun o' the thing 's more 'n I c'n understand.
Anyway, we ought to." "Well, Old Top, we've been walkin' for the last two hours with the moon on our right, and we haven't got anywhere, have we? You don't see no lights ahead of us, do you?" There were no signs of the big cut. The great lights which blazed over the workings were not to be seen.
