uld hear their panting and almost feel their breath upon his neck. One
more tremendous leap, and like an arrow from a bow, he flashed over the
line for a touchdown. He had made a run of ninety yards through a broken
field in the last minute of play.

Some days later when the "tumult and the shouting" had died away--when
the "sound of revelry by night" had ceased--when the "lid" for a moment
open was again "on"--when the snake dances and the bonfires and the
toasts were over--Bert, more than ever the idol of his college, together
with Tom and Dick, were bidding good-by to Mr. Melton at the railroad
station.

"And remember," he called through the window as his train pulled out,
"I'm going to hold you boys to that promise to come out to my Montana
ranch. I'll give you a corking good time."

How "corking" a time they had, how full of dash and danger, adventure
and excitement, will be told in

"=BERT WILSON IN THE ROCKIES.="

Transcriber's Notes:

Obvious punctuation errors repaired.

Page 83, "althought" changed to "although" (broad grin, "although)

Page 138, "Elllis" changed to "Ellis" (Poor old Ellis)

Page 205, "pecipitated" changed to "precipitated" (found themselves
precipitated)

Page 220, "yard" changed to "yards" (twenty yards away)

"Good-natured" is printed with the hyphen, without the hyphen and as one
word (goodnaturedly) in this text. This was retained.
