As Billy slammed the gate and bounded out on a huge boulder that hung over the creek, a sounding cheer greeted him from below.

"Then why did you take it a'tall, I want'a know?" "But he had no right to call us savages, Ma," protested Billy. Caleb's face grew stern. "I told you, Harry O'Dule, that I'd give you no more liquor," he replied..
