But really now, Miss Dare, I don't see how a sun dial could wear out." "Don't you? How strange! Don't you see, they get soaked with sunshine so that they can't hold shadow. It's like me, you know. I have such a good time all the time that I can't be unhappy. Do you ever read the Burlington Hawkeye, Lord Dunbeg?" "I don't remember; I think not.

Toward the southeast, but in immediate contact with the fort, was an entrenched camp, posted on a rocky eminence, that would have been far more eligible for the work itself, in which Hawkeye pointed out the presence of those auxiliary regiments that had so recently left the Hudson in their company.

I am the man, however, that got the name of Nathaniel from my kin; the compliment of Hawkeye from the Delawares, who live on their own river; and whom the Iroquois have presumed to style the 'Long Rifle, without any warranty from him who is most concerned in the matter."

He's the stuff they're made of! You can see it sticking out all over him! He's only selling peanuts now till he grows up and " Toddles put down his basket and planted himself before the conductor. "You pay for those bananas," said Toddles in a low voice which was high. "When'll he grow up?" continued Hawkeye, peeling more fruit. "I don't know you've got me.

He was captain of the home guards in Hawkeye, and he never left home except upon one occasion, when on the strength of a rumor, he executed a flank movement and fortified Stone's Landing, a place which no one unacquainted with the country would be likely to find. "Gad," said the Colonel afterwards, "the Landing is the key to upper Missouri, and it is the only place the enemy never captured.

Go an' tell peanuts I hic! got a dollar for him." And Hawkeye went but Toddles never got the dollar. Hawkeye went out of the smoking compartment of the parlor car with the lead quarter in his pocket because he couldn't do anything else which didn't soothe his feelings any and he went out mad enough to bite himself.

"Did you two win out?" "Well," replied the Boiler Chief, "if Hawkeye travelled forty miles, we must have gone sixty. We pointed straight north for three hours and never saw a thing but bogs and islands of burned timber never a sign of a plain or of Indians. I don't believe there are any." "Did you see any sandhills?" asked Little Beaver. "No." "Then you didn't get within miles of it."

While Hawkeye and the Indians lighted their fire, and took their evening's repast, a frugal meal of dried bear's meat, the young man paid a visit to that curtain of the dilapidated fort which looked out on the sheet of the Horican. The wind had fallen, and the waves were already rolling on the sandy beach beneath him, in a more regular and tempered succession.

"It may be it may be," said Hawkeye, who had listened with singular attention to this explanation; "though I am a man who has the full blood of the whites, my judgment in deer and beaver is greater than in beasts of burden. Major Effingham has many noble chargers, but I have never seen one travel after such a sidling gait." "True; for he would value the animals for very different properties.

"You but little know the craft of the Iroquois, lady, if you judge they have left the path open to the woods!" returned Hawkeye, who, however, immediately added in his simplicity, "the down stream current, it is certain, might soon sweep us beyond the reach of their rifles or the sound of their voices." "Then try the river. Why linger to add to the number of the victims of our merciless enemies?"
