It _tastes_ good; and listen to the sweet ring, would you, fellows? X-Ray hastened to say.

If it's a punk fifty-center, then it's the greatest imitation ever was. I'd just like to have a cartload of the same; I think I'd call myself rich.

If there's any suspicion fixed on the coin, Lub observed, ponderously, just as he had heard his father, the judge, deliver an opinion in court,
gpt
I'd rather be excused from carrying it around on _my_ person. The law, you know, does not look upon ignorance as innocence. Better toss that thing as far away as you can in the morning, X-Ray. I'd hate to think of you doing time for having it in your possession.

Hanged if I do, muttered the other.

Well, some of the rest of us are hoping to be in the same condition before a great while, Ethan ventured, as he stepped over to the door, and looked out, to immediately add:

I should say it is a glorious sight, with that yellow streak shining across the water, and the little wavelets dancing like silver. Phil, this is the greatest place ever. If you hunted a whole year you couldn't beat it. And we ought to have the time of our lives while we're up at Birch Bark Lodge.
