"I opine they'd better hurry some, for we'll have to hike right lively if we shake a hoof at this dance to-night." Then Hodge danced forward in his Indian rig, flourishing a tomahawk and uttering a war whoop. "Heap right," he cried. "White woman bring gals." "Mercy!" gasped Mrs. Medford, retreating toward the table and suddenly turning the lamp very low.
