"Try again, Massan," urged Stanley; "raise your pipe a little higher. Perhaps it will reach them." Massan shook his head. "Try it, Bryan," he said, turning to the Irishman, who was sitting on a rock leisurely filling his short, black pipe.
"I've seed two men with the drap on each other and both afeerd to shoot, but I never heerd of sech a ring-around-the-rosy as eight fellers with bead on one another and not a shoot shot. I'm glad I wasn't thar." He frowned when Hale spoke of the Red Fox.

I don't know as we'd orter take 'im down to town, Dale; maybe it's ketchin'!" "Not take him! Not take him!" Dale cried in an angry voice. "Well, I ain't afraid of nothin' ketchin'!
