Chapter VIII
THE BUCKING BRONCO "How long do you think it will take us to get to the gold fields?" asked Jed, of the old miner, as they jogged forward. "It's hard to say," was the answer. "You mustn't be in too much of a hurry. It's a good rule, in this business, to make haste slowly. You can't make a fortune gold-hunting in one day, and you've got to save your own strength, and that of your horse.
