CHAPTER XI IN THE WILDERNESS

 Each day the four girls rode along various trails until, in the judgment1 of Jeb, they were practiced enough to take a longer ride in the mountains.
 
Polly had been urging Jeb to give a favorable opinion on their ability to stand a prolonged ride to the Flat Tops, but he was careful and practical and persisted in making them try a greater distance daily to finally harden them to a rough trail.
 
Then Jeb said he reckoned the girls could start for a real outing.
Immediately, they planned where to go and what to see.
Polly outlined a trip that might take a whole day, so they would have to take food and kit2 for cooking purposes. Each girl would ride her favorite horse or burro and the extra burro, Choko, could carry the outfit3.
 
Of course, Polly decided4 to ride Noddy, as the burro was well acquainted with her mistress's ways and the mountains. Eleanor preferred a burro also, because, as she said comically, "if one falls from a burro's back it is not far to Mother Earth." The two other girls selected horses, sure-footed and trained for climbing.
 
On the morning chosen for the trip, Mrs. Brewster and Sary were up at day-break preparing the kit and packing the panniers. At breakfast, four eager girls, with wide sombreros on their heads, heavy mountain-shoes and leather puttees covering feet and limbs, talked of the great adventures they were about to meet with.
 
Sam Brewster laughed at their wild imaginings and said: "Ah shouldn't wonder but what you-all will find a second 'Aladdin's Lamp' hiding place. Just think of the fun to be had by rubbing the Lamp and wishing for things!"
 
Then Jeb brought the mounts from the barn and Sary helped him strap5 the panniers and kit to Choko. Just as they were ready to start, Sary flew out with a paper package carefully held.
 
"Polly, Ah made a s'prise fer you-all, but don't let Choko roll in it er run away, er my work will go fer nuthin'."
 
"Don't worry about Choko, Sary, he's too trustworthy to serve us such a trick," bragged6 Polly, petting the burro on the head.
 
"Wall, then, see thet it hain't shooken up too much er gittin' mashed7 under the ax," were the parting words from Sary, as she shifted the short ax, which is an important item in every outfit.
 
It was a wonderful summer day—the kind that makes one feel happy in mere8 living, and the anticipation9 of wonders to come added a zest10 to the outing for the girls.
 
They left the trail leading from Pebbly11 Pit and picked up the rough mountain trail at the Forks, Barbara and Eleanor exclaiming constantly at the gorgeous wild flowers growing wherever the roots could find lodgment.
 
"I never saw such columbines! Four times the size of ours in the East," cried Eleanor.
 
"And those marvelous orange-colored blossoms! They look like a rare exotic, with their huge clusters and flaunting12 colors!" exclaimed Barbara.
 
"If you girls think these are so beautiful, just wait till we reach the 'bottoms'—there you will see size and color enough to make you wonder if you accidentally struck Paradise," said Anne.
 
"And our ferns and mosses13, girls! You never saw such specimen14, elsewhere," added Polly, churking to Choko to hurry on.
 
"Polly, why did Jeb over-load that poor little burro?" now asked
Barbara, having lost her momentary15 interest in flora16.
"Choko isn't over-loaded at all. Of course it looks as if he had a great load to carry, but pans and woolen17 blankets look more than they weigh, you see. The heaviest thing he carries is my ax, I reckon."
 
"Ax! What do you want of an ax?" wondered Barbara.
 
"Can't tell how cold it may be up on the mountain-top, so I brought the sheath-knife, ax, rifle, and other things in case we get the tail-end of a blizzard18."
 
"And the blankets in case we get lost and need to camp out all night," added Anne, teasingly, seeing the city girls' fears.
 
"You can't really mean it, Anne! Surely we won't lose our way, and as for a blizzard! Well, it is July," laughed Barbara.
 
"It wouldn't be the first time we ran into a blizzard in July," commented Polly.
 
"But how is it possible, girl alive!" cried Barbara.
 
"Possible enough on the Flat Tops. The merest rag of a cloud finds an excuse to carry snow from the peaks. The wonder will be if we come away without seeing snow fall."
 
"Oh, Polly, how thrilling!" exclaimed Eleanor.
 
"Once when father and I rode over this same trail to find a trapper who had pelts19 for sale, we got caught in a blizzard. We got the pelts but we also got the storm, and lucky for us that we had the pelts first.
 
"I never had experienced a real mountain storm, but father had, so he showed me what to do. I think I would know now just what to do in case of another surprise."
 
"Bu-r-r-r! Let's hope you won't have to practice on us," laughed
Eleanor, pretending to shiver.
"Stop your nonsense, Nolla! I don't want to think of such dreadful things," cried Barbara.
 
"And I want to hear about how the pelts saved her life," added Anne.
 
"It's real interesting, Bob, so let me tell them," asked Polly, and receiving no unfavorable word or look, she proceeded:
 
"It was the Fourth of July, and of course no one would start on a ride wearing a fur-lined coat, so father and I had on our summer clothes.
 
"After riding along Top Notch21 Trail for a time, we met the trapper and bargained for the furs, then started back by a new trail he told us of. It led past Pagoda22 Peak, and just as we got to the base of the peak and discovered the down-trail, the blizzard came swooping23 upon us without warning.
 
"Father and I tried to keep going, but the gale24 traveled too fast and blew in whirling eddies25, so we got the pelts out of the bundle, and wrapped ourselves in the largest ones. The smaller ones we used for our feet. Father found two great bear-skins and covered the horse—that acted as a shield on one side from the storm—the other horses stood in front and back of us, making three sides protected.
 
"Father then made me creep with him to the refuge made by the three horses and there we remained. The horses stood perfectly26 still throughout the blizzard, which lasted only an hour at most, and the steam they exuded27 from their bodies kept us quite warm as we crouched28 under them.
 
"When the storm blew over, we dug a way out and removed the horse blankets and fur pelts from the horses. Then we rolled our own coverings into the bundle and started on down-trail. But the floods of melting snow caused wash-outs and it was risky29 going. When we reached the first Park never a sign of snow was there, and the only result of that mountain blizzard was an added flood of water pouring down the gulleys to the bottoms and valley."
 
"Oh, Polly, what an interesting book your adventures would make!" exclaimed Eleanor.
 
"I'd like to write it down as you tell it, Polly, and we can surely find a publisher for it," added Anne, eagerly.
 
"Really! Oh, how I'd love to tell such a story!" said Polly, all enthusiasm.
 
"We'll try it as soon as we get back to-night!" promised Anne.
 
The going was easy, so Polly told of other adventures: of the trip to Buffalo30 Park when a bear chased them; of her meeting with Old Montresor, the gold-seeker of Grizzly31 Slide and his pitiful story; of the nights spent out on the mountains, watching beside a dying camp-fire, or listening to the call of the moose to his mate on a moonlit night; of the wonderful sport fishing in trout-filled streams, or seeking gorgeous flora and strange fauna32 on the peaks, and again photographing wild beasts and birds that never showed a fear of her as she traversed their domains33. The three girls were spell-bound at her vivid descriptions and Anne sighed with desire to put it all down on paper for future publication.
 
"Montresor's Mine is in this mountain that I want to show you to-day.
He was a dear old man who lived a solitary34 life in a cabin near Buffalo
Park. Patsy, his dog, was his only companion. But he died and left me
his mine—that we never found again," sighed Polly.
"Oh, Polly! Tell us the story!" chorused the girls.
 
Polly laughed: "It isn't a story, 'cause there never was a climax35 as real stories have to have, you know. But I'll tell you how I met Mr. Montresor. I was out with Noddy, one day, and we traveled farther than usual.
 
"In leaving a bad trail to take a good one, I met the gray-haired man slowly riding up. An Irish terrier ran back of his horse, sniffing36, sniffing, and whining37 as if distracted. I was so surprised at the dog's actions that I stopped to ask the man what ailed38 him.
 
"'Ah, my child, Patsy is seeking for my lost mine!'
 
"'Your lost mine!' I gasped39, for I had never heard of him or his mine, although folks said there was a rich vein40 of gold somewhere in the mountain.[Footnote: This is a true incident.] "'Yes, child, I am the unfortunate Montresor. Haven't you heard of my great loss?'
 
"I thought the poor man was foolish, so I humored him by saying, 'No, sir, I never did, Won't you tell me about it?'
 
"Then he told me the story. He had been an old prospector41 in the Klondike, but not a successful one, as he was too honest. On his return, from Alaska, he had to stop in Denver and work for his fare back to the East where he came from. Being a splendid engineer as well as a mineralogist, he found a place with a crew of mining engineers about to inspect Pagoda Peak section and Lost Lake district. He came with them.
 
"After he had been in these mountains for a time, he was so certain of finding gold that he remained when the rest of the crew went back to Denver. After two years of patient digging and prospecting42 he took a new trail that was later found to be Red Man's Trail, seldom traveled, as it was such dangerous and hard going.
 
"He was climbing along an awful place where the ledge43 hung over a chasm44, when he spied a small yellow nugget on the ground. He examined it and found it to be fine red-gold. Upon looking about, he found a few more, but there seemed to be no sign of gold in the ledge or in the rocks about him. Still he staked out a claim on the spot in hopes of later finding gold hidden in the ground.
 
"He hobbled his horse and made a good circuit of the place and then discovered that the opposite ledge of the abyss towered up hundreds of feet higher than the one he was on. That gave him an idea.
 
"He rode the horse carefully along his ledge until he reached a slope where both ledges45 met an up-grade of mountain-side. Leaving the lower ledge and back-trailing on the higher one, he stopped opposite the place where he had found the nuggets. He dismounted, sought carefully about, and to his joy found more nuggets exactly like the ones picked up on the opposite lower side.
 
"He took the pick from the saddle and worked at the wall facing him, and discovered a rich lode46 running straight in through the solid rock. He was so excited that he started off without staking a claim or otherwise marking the place. But he soon remembered and went back. He made out a correct claim and fastened it to a tree, then piled up the necessary heaps of stone with his stakes in the middle. Doing all he could think of to legally hold the right to mine the ore, he started back along the dangerous ledge. It was so dark by this time, that he could not find the way he came, and knowing it was almost impassable, he permitted the horse to choose a way out by going up the mountain-side, and so he finally reached the summit. Here he camped for the night and early in the morning he kept on till he struck Top Notch Trail, but so circuitous47 had been the route that he never could describe the pathway his horse took.
 
"Unfortunately, he had left Patsy home that day to guard supplies in the cabin, and he did not return there at once, thinking it wiser to first file his claims in Oak Creek48. The clerk asked for section-corners or distances from the nearest surveyor's blaze, but Montresor had not found any.
 
"It was a question whether the claim would be legal, but the worried old man refused to give full details of the spot, as he feared the claim would be jumped, and he purposed going back again to make a survey for himself.
 
"On his way to the cabin for Patsy, a dreadful storm came over the mountains and lasted for three days. Snow, hail and wind blew down the sides until it seemed as if winter had come in full blast. Of course, no one would attempt climbing in that storm and Montresor had to remain in his cabin for the blizzard to pass.
 
"When he was able to travel again, he took Patsy to help find the place, but the rain had washed away all scent49 for the dog. After a tortuous50 climb on the trail, made ten-fold worse by the down timber and wash-outs, Montresor discovered land-marks and knew he was on the right pathway.
 
"However, he could see no ravine or ledges, and after hunting day after day, without locating a spot that resembled his claim, he well-nigh caved in. There was no gully, no ledge, no wall of rock with fresh-picked vein of gold showing in its face! In fact, so much rock and earth and trees had been washed down from Top Notch Trail during the great storm that the whole area he had previously51 covered had changed form and appearances.
 
"The poor man then tried to find his claim by following Top Notch Trail and coming down from the summit, but he was taken ill and laid up in his cabin for a long time.
 
"I rode up to see him whenever I could, and father wanted him to have some one stay with him, but the old man would not. Patsy was his only nurse. The ranchers laughed and said he was luny over gold, and that he never had seen any. Still there was the ore to cause wonderment, until a miner declared it was some the old man had left in his kit from Klondike. The report that he was trying to sell a claim that never existed, made folks shun52 him even when they heard he was sick.
 
"Cold weather was coming on and mother would not let me risk the long ride to his cabin so often, but one warm Saturday I packed supplies and rode Noddy up there. I found the poor man unconscious. Patsy stood by the bunk53 licking the limp hand. I looked about but no food or drink could I see. I lifted his gray head and tried to make him sip54 water from my bottle, but he merely opened his eyes and smiled.
 
"He tried to take something from under his head and I helped him. I found a scrawl55 saying, 'Look on Patsy's collar.'
 
"He tried to mumble56 and I stooped low but he relaxed suddenly and seemed to shrink. I felt his heart but it was still. I tried his eyes and they were sightless. Patsy sent up a heartrending wail57 and crawled over behind his master's gun and knapsack, so I knew my old friend was dead.
 
"I removed the paper from Patsy's collar and saw my name on it. Upon opening it, I found the dear man had left me all his interests in the claim filed at Oak Creek offices. I tried to coax58 Patsy to come with me, but he would not desert his master. Then I placed water in a dish and gave the animal my food, but he would not eat or drink.
 
"I hurried home to tell father and he rode back that same evening, to arrange for the old man's burial. Jeb and John went with him, and the coroner from Oak Creek, who is a friend of ours.
 
"When they reached the cabin they found faithful Patsy stretched across his master's body dead also. So both old comrades were buried together, although the minister from over the mountain said it was a sin to place both in one grave. When John told me, I said I was glad the two could travel the same trail together, for Old Man Montresor had found Patsy his best friend for ten years.
 
"We found no clew to his eastern friends, and when the last will and testament59 of Ralph Montresor was filed at Oak Creek, every one laughed at us for believing the fairy-tale of a crazy man. But I never believed he was crazy, and I do believe he once discovered that gold-mine!"
 
"Oh, Polly!" wept Anne and Eleanor, deeply affected60 by the tale, but
Barbara plaintively61 remarked, "Do talk of something cheerful!"
"All right, Bob, I'll tell you something that will cheer your woeful heart!" jeered62 Eleanor, impatiently. "I'm going to take that Red Man's up-trail, soon, and rediscover the mine, then I'll give it to Polly for a present for her loyalty63 to Old Montresor!"
 
"Don't be silly! If you ever did find a gold-mine you'd hold on to it, fast enough!" retorted Barbara.
 
Eleanor winked64 at Polly and Polly smiled gratefully at her, but Anne broached65 another subject to spare the sisters an argument.
 
The horses had been jogging along a trail that now turned off to what looked like a wide plain.
 
"Here's the bridge I've been heading for," said Polly. "From here on, it's clear going to Lone66 Pine Blaze."
 
"Bridge! Do you call this a bridge," laughed Eleanor.
 
"It's a forest ranger's bridge. They build these over chasms67 and streams so horses and men can quickly reach any part of the forest when there is a fire. If they had to ford68 swift streams, or go round about, much time would be lost."
 
The bridge in question was made of loose tree-trunks thrown across the river and pegged69 down on either side where the ends rested upon the steep banks.
 
After crossing the log-bridge, Polly led the way towards what seemed to be a veritable wilderness70 of forest. Giant pines thrust their green tops far above trees that would have been considered landmarks71 in the East, but were deemed quite ordinary in the West. Next in height to the commonly-sized pines came gigantic oaks and then the still shorter aspens and lodge-pole pine.
 
"You never intend breaking through that tangle72 of trees, I hope, Polly!" cried Barbara, who had never seen such a bewildering growth of forest in her life.
 
"No, not this time! I'm making for that pine that you can see way above all of the others. That is Lone Pine Blaze, because it bears the blaze that shows the way to the up-trail!"
 
Noddy must have been a frequent traveler to this tree for she knew exactly the way to go and when she came opposite the pine that bore the blaze, she stopped of her own accord.
 
"Now, wasn't that cute?" cried Eleanor, riding her burro directly behind Noddy.
 
Polly jumped from her burro's back and went over to Choko. She removed the ax from the pack and chopped a way through the slender undergrowth which had grown up that season.
 
"Yes, here's the blaze as plain as day! Any of you girls want to read it for me?" laughed Polly.
 
The three curious girls jumped from their mounts and pushed a way over to the tree where they saw a queer mark made deep in the tree where the bark could not over-grow it.
 
"What does it say, Poll!" asked Eleanor.
 
"It means for us to turn to the left and follow the trail upwards73!" said Polly, pointing to the signs.
 
"I should think the ranchers would put up sign-posts to guide travelers!" said Barbara.
 
"How long do you suppose a post would last in a mild little wind-storm that uproots74 trees and tosses them about like wisps of hay?" laughed Polly.
 
"Oh, Polly! You surely are making fun of us!" said Eleanor, doubtfully.
"No, indeed, she is not! In the three months' time I was at the Cobb
School, I saw some terrific gales75 sweep over the country!" added Anne.
But sign-posts and wind-storms were forgotten for the time when the horses came out on a strange road they had to travel. The wilderness of pine forest had been left on the right after leaving Lone Pine, and the trail led down gradually to a bottomland of brilliant green herbage. Directly over this emerald valley ran a corduroy roadway.
 
"There must have been a brook76 under this at one time!" stated Eleanor, finding the logs partly embedded77 in caked mud.
 
"No, this too, is built by our forest-rangers who help the timber jacks78 build these roads. You see, while frost holds good the heaviest tree trunks can be readily moved over icy swamp bottoms, but in the spring, when thaw79 and freshets begin, the bottoms are more like a marsh80, or shallow lake, than anything else I know of. Then these corduroy roads are a make-shift for hard ground," explained Polly, while Noddy started to clip-clop over the firmly-set logs.
 
"Why don't the men wait for the next frost?" asked Barbara.
 
"Hoh! Don't you know the trees would be worthless if they were left for a season? Decay and mold or worms would destroy the finest wood. Besides, these logs, or poles, laid side by side in the mud, soon get to be as solid as a rock, for the mud, oozing81 up between the chinks of the logs, dries out and leaves them baked tight in the grooves82."
 
Having heard the way this novel roadway was made, the girls took a lively interest in crossing it. No more questions were asked until Polly reached the trail that led up through the forest. Then Eleanor spoke83.
 
"Polly, you're sure you know the road?"
 
"We can't go very far wrong! If we keep to the trail we are bound to come out on the top—somewhere!" laughed Polly, giving Noddy her head in selecting a safe footing on the rough trail.
 
Eleanor, eager to show how well she could ride, forced her burro past Noddy while the latter was making a slight detour84 about a sage-brush. She turned partly around to laugh at Polly, when her burro made a sudden lunge away from the trail, and at the same time, a diamond-backed rattlesnake struck out from its coil, reaching at least two-thirds the full length of its body.
 
"Help! Save me!" screamed Eleanor, frantically86, but the brave little burro knew how to carry his rider safely out of the way of the reptile87.
 
Polly saw the snake coil for another strike at Barbara's horse, which had almost reached the place before Eleanor screamed. The whole occurrence was so unexpected and sudden that Barbara had not seen the swift flash of cinnamon-red and dark diamond-patterned rattler.
 
With great presence of mind, Polly instantly pulled Noddy up on a mound88 of ground just above the reptile, and caught hold of a long supple89 branch of wood. In another instant she was whipping the snake until it could not tell from which direction the blows were descending—right, left, front or back! In a moment of indecision, the snake remained quiet and in that second Polly brought down her solid heel upon its flat head.
 
The other girls screamed and turned pale for they thought Polly had fallen from her burro upon the rattler—so quick had been her action. But the moment the daring girl looked up and laughed at them, they also jumped from their saddles and ran up to help.
 
Polly made sure the rattler was quite dead, then took a forked stick and held it up to view. It had beautiful diamond markings of dark-colors on cinnamon-red ground. The belly90 was of creamy white, and the tail had eight rattles85 attached to it by means of a peculiar91 fibrous ribbon. These rattles seemed to be of dry horny skin that made the buzz-sound when shaken. The head had been so crushed open that Polly could easily show the curious girls the poison-fangs92 which were hinged to the upper jaw93.
 
"When a rattler intends to bite, its mouth grasps the object and these fangs drop down into the flesh, puncturing94 tiny holes into which the fatal poison flows."
 
Polly described the action of the bite minutely, causing her hearers to shiver with dread20. Seeing the effect her words had made, she laughed, adding, "A snake does not always bite clear! I mean, the least thing keeps his teeth from driving straight into the flesh, so that the poison bag cannot empty its fluid under the skin. It is often a loose or sidewise bite, so that much of the poison never enters the wound. That is why so many folks survive rattle-snake bites. If it went clean, and the poison bag was emptied under the skin,—pwhew!"
 
Polly whistled to denote her sense of the outcome of such a bite, and Barbara cried, "Oh, mercy, Polly! I feel so sick after hearing you, that I want to go back to Chicago!"
 
Anne laughed at Barbara's fears, saying, "We may not see another rattler all summer!"
 
"Anyway, Bob, you're perfectly safe while on a horse, for they can always tell when a rattler is near and they avoid it. A rattler will never go out of its own course to strike—only biting when one passes too near it for its safety!" said Polly.
 
"Well, that's some consolation95, anyway!" sighed Eleanor.
 
"What do you want to do with this snake, Poll?" asked Anne, as the sisters climbed back into their saddles.
 
"Goodness me! What would she do with it, except to kick it over into the bushes!" cried Barbara.
 
"Polly is laughing! She thinks you are crazy, Anne!" added Eleanor, impatiently, for she was eager to proceed on the trail.
 
"Well, Polly, I think we will have it skinned and sent to Denver to be made into an odd handbag for your mother!" suggested Anne.
 
"Oh, Anne, how splendid! I wish I could find a snake skin!" cried
Eleanor.
"Yes, Anne, I think mother will love that!" added Polly, gratefully, so the rattler was moved carefully over to a large flat rock near the trail, where they could readily find it on their way back.
