Epigraph
“Roswell, do you know that strange man has been
following us for the past hour?”33
Catching the eye of the amazed boys, Tim winked43
The tent-poles were shoved down into the snow53
All joined in pushing and pulling one sled65
Suddenly Hardman made a sign75
“You’re a pretty fellow to stand guard,” said Frank85
“Oh, look there! isn’t it dreadful?”97
“We’re at the fut of the lake,” shouted Tim105
The current was not only very swift, but the channel
was filled with rocks113
Tim and Jeff lit their pipes; Hardman sat apart127
And the three cheers were given with a will137
“I don’t see the use of your harping on that affair,” said Hardman147
“It’s gold!” he exclaimed161
The boys stood attentively watching the operation175
“I have just thought what Tim’s business is at Dawson,” said Frank189
“We have been robbed! All the gold is gone,”195
The tell-tale footprints203
“We have made a mess of it,” was the disgusted comment of Frank231
Tim and his prisoners241
“Say, Tim, you hain’t any idea of going to college, have you?”251
