THE CUB ENGINEERS REACH CAMP
"Look, Tom! There is a real westerner!" Harry Hazelton's eyes sparkled, his whole manner was one of intense interest.
"Eh?" queried Tom Reade, turning around from his distant view of a sharp, towering peak of the Rockies.
"There's the real thing in the way of a westerner," Harry Hazelton insisted in a voice in which there was some awe.
"I don't believe he is," retorted Tom skeptically.
"You're going to say, I suppose, that the man is just some freak escaped from the pages of a dime novel?" demanded Harry.
"No; he looks more like a hostler on a leave of absence from a stranded Wild West show," Tom replied slowly.
There was plenty of time for them to inspect the stranger in question. Tom and Harry were seated on a mountain springboard wagon drawn by a pair of thin horses. Their driver, a boy of about eighteen, sat on a tiny make-believe seat almost over the traces. This youthful driver had been minding his own business so assiduously during the past three hours that Harry had voted him a sullen fellow. This however, the driver was not.
"Where did that party ahead come from, driver?" murmured Tom, leaning forward. "Boston or Binghamton?"
"You mean the party ahead at the bend of the trail?" asked the driver.
"Yes; he's the only stranger in sight."
"I guess he's a westerner, all right," answered the driver, after a moment or two spent in thought.
