We won’t get to play in all day. The Gang coming?”,Moses stared, wondering at this unusual compliment.，“Please,” answered the discomfited youth, “I aint never seen a ship of no kind.”，With a boy’s cunning and swiftness Billy made a running creep through the underbrush up the steep mountain side.

From the lower slopes of the Cedar Hills issued many wide wooded ravines. Of these none were prettier than Spring Coulee which even in winter retained its attractiveness, having a goodly sprinkling of evergreen trees among the poplars and cottonwoods lining its sides.

It looked heavy, and he knew it was hard to carry, walking single file down the steep trail. How awfully they must feel, Billy thought. It was like the children in the fiery furnace.
