"And jest sech as thet sneakin' coyote, Spanish Joe, would be guilty of tryin'. I've seen it done more'n a few times; and twict the critter was rounded up, and treated like he'd been a hoss thief; 'case ye see, in each case 'twar a woman as rid the animile as got the thorn. But ye must let me rub somethin' on thet wound right away, Bob."
Let's all saddle up, ride down thar, tie onto their tents, an' pull 'em down, an' then bust open them cages an' give every dod-blamed animile th' liberty I allows he loves same as humans! An' then, jest to make sure she's a good job, le's whoop all their hosses ove' to th' Dolores an' scatter 'em through th' piñons!"
Mules is swine, and no better'n some men, and I give ye notice no man ain't goin' to come 'tween me and my mules. I'll paste 'em when I like, and I'll paste 'em like they did me, the varmints, and I won't have no animile that walks like a man interferin' 'tween me and the mules and tellin' me what ter do.
He ain't what ye'd call a show animile." "He ain't, but, say, stranger, he kin run." "What d'ye say ter a leetle brush betwixt Magpie an' yer Hatrack?" "I'm ther gamest thing what ever yer see when it comes ter a hoss race." "What'll we race fer?" "Nag an' nag. If yer beats me, yer takes Hatrack, an' if he gits away with ther spotted pony, why, yer turns her over ter me. Is it a go?"
I was too much disheartened to reply, but moved toward the wagon. The stranger eyed me with an astonishment that almost sobered him. "Do you reckon to tackle that animile yourself?" he asked, as he surveyed me from head to foot. I did not speak, but, with an appearance of boldness I was far from feeling, walked to the wagon, and called "Baby!"
But yer needn't be afraid that any one will liken yer ter a goat. Any self-respectin' goat would get sore at it. If I wuz ter pick out yer counterpart in ther animile world, I'd say yer most resembled the phillaloo?" "What's a phillaloo?" "A phillaloo is a cross between a penguin and a jassack."
With a leap in th' air th' bold wolf put to rout a covey iv muskrats, those evil sojers iv fortune that ar-re seen hoverin' over ivry animile battlefield. Wan blow iv his paw broke th' back iv th' buffalo. With another he crushed a monsthrous sage hen, at wanst th' most threacherous an' th' hardiest iv th' beasts iv th' wild.
Hang onto the cart whatever happens, but if you do get, in, keep upstream of any animile that's swimmin'." "All set, men? Come ahead!" He led off again at last, after the teams were doubled and the loads had been piled high as possible to keep them dry. Ten wagons were left behind, it being needful to drive back, over the roaring channel, some of the doubled heavy teams for them.
"I guess he's a gone coon!" said the American, hitching up his trousers again and turning over the quid of tobacco in his mouth. "It seems a terrible pity to waste him though. There's a powerful sight of blubber in that air animile!" and the speaker appeared to gaze sadly at the carcase of the conquered cetacean as it floated by.
Doctor! where did that 'animile' come from," inquired the Major, who formed one of a crowd, on the afternoon of the last day of their stay in the Head Quarters Spruce Retreat, as the little Dutch Doctor strutted alongside of a Corporal of an adjoining regiment, who led by a halter, extemporized from a musket-strap and a cross-belt, a small light dun horse.
