“I guess so,” answered the other. “It’s got to be done.” They felt the spirit of pioneers and an immense loyalty to the Service and what it stood for. Jerry shook his hand warmly. John had lately decided that there was too little grass for it back of the barn and that the goat must go every day over to Grassy Island for a good meal. “I go myself trail Miguel. I catch his track and run swiftly. Big moon help much. Pretty soon I see little light just below big dam in bushes.”.
