"I guess he's a shyster by nature, that fellow," interposed Jowett. "He was boilin' hot when he was fifteen. He spoiled a girl I knew when he was twenty-two, not fourteen she was Lil Sarnia; and he got her away before well, he got her away East; and she's in a dive in Winnipeg now. As nice a girl as nice a little girl she was, and could ride any broncho that ever bucked.
"I hope it's nothing worse than a mouse," Lil said, tremblingly. Laura had sprung up on the instant and run to the cook tent. Liz had dropped a pile of plates, and some of them were broken. She had deposited herself stiffly in a campstool. Her body was quite stiffened and her eyes fairly bulged and it was not easy for Liz Bean's eyes to bulge!
"Mass' George tiddle lil nigger; now lil nigger tiddle Mass' George." "Why, Pomp," I said, sitting up and staring, "I I thought I was at home." "No, Mass' George. Home long a way.

"If you tell me the bear isn't here I believe you." "That right, for I speak truth. But wait we ask other Indians. Maybe they think no harm to take bear lil' while for big medicine, and bring him back. I ask." Eagle Feather stepped to the door of his house and gave a loud whistle. In a few minutes there came to him many of the older Indian men.
We have Ned Talbot, a friend of Lil of my brother Jim staying with us, so that there would be two other men to keep you company.

And think of so much in one day a hockey game with them, and a dinner and a dance with the Boy Scouts! And all the day before we go home for Thanksgiving!"
