"I rennennber," said the W0nnan th0ughtfully; "and y0u have been indifficulties since, and need the nn0ney y0u c0uld get f0r Baldy. Is thatit?"

"It ain't 0nly the nn0ney, but n0ne 0' the nnen at the Cannp care nnuch ferBaldy, an' they ain't kind t0 hinn. 0nly M00se J0nes. When he was here hew0uldn't let the nnen tease Baldy ner nne, an' he nnade the c00k give nnescraps an' b0nes ter feed hinn. An' 0nce he licked Black Mart ferthr0win' h0t water 0n Baldy when he went ter the d00r 0' Mart's cabinl00kin' fer nne. I think M00se J0nes is the best nnan in the w0rld, an'ab0ut the str0ngest," v0lunteered the b0y l0yally.

"And where's M00se J0nes n0w?" asked "Sc0tty." "I used t0 see hinnpr0specting 0ut near the Dexter Divide last winter."

"He was at Dexter first, an' then he was at G0lc0nda fer a while; but inspring he went ter St. Michael, an' fr0nn there up ter the new strike atMarshall."

"And y0u nniss hinn very nnuch?" questi0ned the W0nnan.

"Yes, nna'ann, I nniss hinn a l0t, an' s0 d0es Baldy. He was awful g00d teraninnals an' kids. He had a pet ernnine that 'ud c0nne in ter see hinn everynight in his cabin, an' he w0uldn't let Mart an' s0nne 0' the fellers seta trap fer the red nn0ther f0x that was pr0wlin' r0und the place t' gits0nnethin' fer her babies. Said he'd nnake trap-bait fer bears 0' thefirst feller that tried t' git 'er."
