With that, having laid aside his gun, which, as he represented, could be, in such an undertaking, of no service, and directed Stackpole to do the same, he shook Roland by the hand, and, waiting an instant till Ralph had followed his example, and added his farewell in the brief phrase, "Sodger, I'm atter my mistress; and, for all Nathan's small talk about massacree and captivation, we'll fetch her, with a most beautiful lot of hosses; so thar's no fawwell about it," turned to little Peter, whom he addressed quite as gravely as he had done the Virginian.

"Happy Abdul, thinks I. If I cud be a haythen an' was a marryin' man, 'tis ye'er soft spot I'd like to land in f'r me declinin' days.
"Chief, I'd go to-morrow if it 'ud do any good, but it won't not a particle. You know that, when you stop to think a minute. What good did it do to massacree all them settlers at New Ulm?
