Two of them began to pelt each other with stones to-day; allies dropped in on either side; laughter was succeeded by execrations; and the whole caravan at length came to loggerheads. The sidr, or lote-tree, is abundant in these parts, and it is curious to notice how in the spring season the green leaves sprout out all over the white burnt-up shrub.
"You have an otter there you didn't show me. How about that?" Toby passed the otter pelt over to Marks, who examined it critically, and finally suggested: "I'll give you fifty-five dollars in cash for it." That was a good price. Toby was aware that the best price for otters at the Hudson's Bay Company's shop was fifty dollars in trade, and he could see no reason for refusing to sell it to Marks.
He killed him, skinned him and sold his pelt; and, sure enough, he received five thousand pieces of copper for it. From that time on the fox-spirit ceased to show itself. "The Old Mother" is really the mother-goddess of the Taischan. But in other localities she is chiefly honored as a child-giving goddess.

But who should be the executioner? They were reviled and upbraided. The Indian boys threw sticks at them as they passed, and then ran behind the houses. When they entered one of these pestiferous dens, this impish crew clambered on the roof, to pelt them with snowballs through the smoke-holes.
If I'd only had a crack at him thirty yards away instead of ten feet, I'd have saved that lovely pelt." "But it was a corking good shot, I tell you, Steve," declared Max, warmly. "That's j-j-just what it was," added Toby, who had parted company with the friendly tree, now that the danger seemed a thing of the past.
Parker as the latter came down from her horse, somewhat stiffly. When he turned to perform a similar office for her daughter, however, the girl smilingly shook her head. "I shipped for the cruise, Don Mike," she assured him. "May I ride home with you? Remember, you've got to pick up your rope and that panther's pelt."

I knew it would be very lonesome without you; but I thought it would be some comfort to see again the places where we walked together, and sang together, and called each other all manner of foolish fond names. Do you remember how many variations you rung upon my name, Rosabella, Rosalinda, Rosamunda, Rosa Regina? How you did pelt me with roses!
By degrees the weather changed again into a sombre mood; the clouds gathered in close array, and began to pelt us, first with hailstones, but, having apparently soon exhausted the supply, were content to soak us with a deluge of water.
