They are all, every man of them, bearing bravely, as of yore, their own part amid the dangers and chances of the fray.
As I have before observed, an Indian will never fire his rifle upon an enemy who is armed only with his lance, bow, and arrows; or if he does, and kills him, he will not take his scalp, as it would constantly recall to his mind that he had killed a defenceless foe.

"What's more, I'm going to and a better world at that than ever yet was dreamed of. Wait and see!" Laughing, he released her. "Well, now, we'll go to work," he concluded.
