Rix, released, trotted away. "Guess he'll stay out of fox-tail after this," said Sid. "I dunno," said Dave. "Critters walk right into trouble with their eyes wide open. I'm going to make bread now." Sid followed into the shanty, and watched Dave stir together sour milk and soda for bread. The ranch was away in the hills, much too far from any town for visits from the baker's wagon.
I asked him where he lived. He replied: "When I'm to hum, I lives on a ranch in Colorado; but I've been to Chicago sellin' of my steers, and them thar fellows came nigh gettin' the best of me with some of their new-fangled games; but they gave me some of their tickets, and when I get home I'll make the boys think I didn't take my critters to Chicago for nothing.
But I never yit drew a bead on a squaw or papoose, and I despise the man who would. 'Taint nateral for men to kill women and pore little children, and none but a coward or a dog would do it. Of course when we white men do sich awful things, why these pore ignorant critters don't know no better than to foller suit. Pore things! Pore things!
"Can you fight and conquer the big sea devil up in the dome?" asked Trot. The queen was thoughtful, and did not reply to this question at once. But Cap'n Bill said uneasily, "I can't abide them devil critters, an' I hopes, for my part, we won't be called on to tackle 'em.

"Then you've really seen a live Indian?" asked Bob, his eyes big with excitement. "I seen too many of the critters. See that scar?"
"Before I could turn around and look, I see that man and that woman leadin' our horses away from the grove where I'd tied 'em to the feed-box." "What for?" inquired Robert Day. Zene cast a compassionate glance at his small companion. "What do folks ever lead critters away in the night for?" he hinted. "Sometimes to water and feed them."
"When he saw thet I had spotted him he stopped, crouchin' down clost t' the ground, ready to fight or run, accordin' t' the way things looked to him. Chances are he was half minded t' run, anyway, fer all the wild critters is mighty shy of a man, an' as a rule will go the long way around to keep out o' his way.
"Puttin' an end to it will make useful American citizens out o' thousands o' poor critters that never knew what ailed them." "But where did the 'poor whites' come from, Uncle Eli? What made them that way?" "Whar they come from I jes' don' rightly know. I reckon I saw more o' them when I was down in Georgia, but the Florida 'crackers' are still worse off.
I read the letters over and over, and answers were hurried off. He was dreadfully homesick, but couldn't figure on how he could leave the "critters," or how he could trust himself on a train. Mr. Stewart became interested, and he is a very resourceful man, so an old Frenchman was found who had no home and wanted a place to stay so he could trap.
After a square meal o' missionary, the critters fall asleep, and they don't never wake up neither. Serve 'em right, too." "Go on, Pete." Pete, with a thick thumb upon the right line, went on "'The Professor's researches here may prove of vital importance.
