Jimmy stared at the shining, battered, bullet-punctured pail in amazement. Slowly he turned it over and around, and then he lifted bewildered eyes to Dannie. "Are you foolin'?" he asked. "Did I bring that thing home in that shape?" "Honest!" said Dannie. "I remember buyin' it," said Jimmy slowly.
He had given his promise, and he was keeping it; for, if it wasn't really Breault's voice up there in the wind, multiplied a thousand times, it was a good imitation of it. Again Corporal Blake laughed a laugh as unpleasant as the cough that had come from Breault's bullet-punctured lung.
Then, with the coil of Buck's rope in his hand, he turned back and squirmed up the tree-trunk until he had reached the limb. He crawled out until he was over Buck's bullet-punctured hat-crown, sliced off what rope he did not need, and flung it to the ground. He saw Buck wince as the rope went past him. The pinto horse shied out of position. "Take the reins and bring him back here!"
