How do you feel, Barry ?" asked Knight.

"Hard day, eh ?" "Feeling fit, a little tired, of course, but good for another ten miles," answered Barry.
"That's the stuff," replied Knight, looking at him keenly, "but, see here, you must ease up on the carrying.

You haven't quite got over that ducking of yours." "I'm fit enough," answered Barry, rather more curtly than his wont.
They brought the canoes up to the landing, and with the speed of long practice unloaded them, and drew them upon the shore.
Knight approached Duff, and, pointing toward Barry, said quietly: "I guess we'll have to ease him up a bit.

That fight, you know, took it out of him, and he always jumps for the biggest pack.

We'd better hold him back to-morrow a bit." "Can't hold back any one," said Duff, with an oath.
