forward, making as little noise as
possible, and J'hHUps followed at

Phillips' abundant vigor con

frank admiration: lie eyed the boy
approvingly and plied him with
questions, lief ore they had trav

what there was to learn, for Pierce ;
answered lits queHttons frankly and
told him about the sacrifice his
family hud made in order to send
lilm north, about the trip ItHelf,
about his landing at Dyea. and nil
the rest. When he came to the
account of that shell game the
grlzxled stranger smiled.
"I'vo lived In wide-open coun

"but this beats nny thing J ever

that already most of their outfit
was nt I.lnderman,
"Do you mean to say that you
have done nil the packing for your
self nnd your partner?" he inquired.
"t no. Old Jerry totters across
with package of aoila-crnekerN
once In n while. . You muitt have
heard him; he creaks like a gate,
Of course he eats up all the crack
ers before lie gets to UmJorman
and then gorges himself on the
heavy grub lhat I've lugged over,
but In spite of that we've managed
to make pretty good time." After
a moment of meditation he con
tinued: "Kay! You ought to see
that old buzzard eat! It's disgust

much the expense that 1 enre alfout

be In an Institution some place

a big market-garden. Hut he's
plumb helpless, so 1 can't cut him

They were resting at the Long
hake outlet, some time later, when
the old man Inquired;
"I presume you've got a camp
at l.inderman, eh?"
"No. I have some blankets
cached there and I sleep out when
ever I can't make the round trip."
"Hound trip? Hound trip in one
day? Why. that's thirty miles!"
"Heal miles, too. This country
makes a man of a fellow. I
wouldn't mind sleeping out if 1
were sure of n hot inenl once in
