"All right, Neighbor Watland. Anybody else got anythin' to say?","In a word," interrupted Jen, "this black witch had hypnotized Mrs. Dallas.","Nerves!" she cried indignantly, sitting bolt upright.

If I wasn't the most sensible-minded person alive I'd be throwin' fits er goin' off into gallopin' hysterics every hour, with the things that Willium does to scare the life out of a body."，"O Croaker," groaned Billy, "why won't you find the gold fer me?" Croaker returned his master's look of reproach with beady, insolent eyes. "Cawrara-cawrara-cawrara," he murmured, backing from the pile, which meant, "Why don't you carry one of these beautiful shiny things home for me?

Before he had gone many miles he was surprised to hear the sounds of galloping hoofs coming behind him. His first thought was that Jerry had changed his mind and was going to accompany him back to camp. But the noise was more than[191] one horse could make, so he was prepared to see strangers ride past him. He turned in his saddle as the first horse came around the bend in the trail.,No further sounds disturbed them for that time; and before the morning dawned, weariness insensibly overcame apprehension, and sunk them in repose.,“‘One burnished sheet of living gold,,"What a pack of mail," said Judith.,They found Jerry at the bunkhouse sitting in a game of poker with four or five of the cowboys.
