Seaforth to humour him touched the flask with his lips, and handed it to Tom, who did the same, and then screwing the top on it passed it back to Seaforth no emptier than when it reached him.

Alton, however, raised his head a trifle further, and looked at both of them.
"You'll have to do it better.

Okanagan glanced at him severely.

"I guess you'll lie right where you are and keep very still, or I'll make a hole through the other leg," he said.
Alton appeared to chuckle, but his arm slipped from under him, and he dropped back heavily amidst the blankets with eyes closed while Seaforth bent over him.
"That's all right," said Okanagan.
