We have the same impression in regard to our own Aborigines. Yet, when first, upon the prairies of Nebraska, I came in sight of a tribe of genuine, unadulterated Indians, with no possession on earth but a bow and arrow and a bear-skin, bare-skin in a double sense, I might add, my instinctive exclamation was, "What race of dwarfs is this?"
Crash after crash of tempest fell upon him clearing away for a while only to return with fiercer fury, until they left him beaten down and helpless at last, to learn that he must accept the lesson and bow before the storm.
"It should be," he answered, with a little bow "We are the admirers of your sex." I made no answer. Mr. Harland looked at me with a somewhat quizzical air. "You are not a believer in compliments," he said. "Was it a compliment?" I asked, laughingly "I'm afraid I'm very dense! I did not see that it was meant as one." Dr. Brayle's dark brows drew together in a slight frown.
Montjoie!" sounded high above the clang of battle, as heathen after heathen was laid low. Limbs were lopped, armor flew in splinters. Many a heathen knight was cloven from brow to saddle bow.

"Now the point to be decided," said the Lefthandiron, after he and his companions had been flying through space for some time, "is where we are going. There are two or three things we can do, and Tom can have his choice as to which it shall be." "Subject, of course, to my advice," said the Righthandiron, with a bow to Tom. "You can go where you please if I please. See?" "Yes," said Tom. "I see.
