Sam took the axe. "We'll call this a war party into the enemy's country. There's sure 'nuff war that-a-way. He's one of Da's 'friends." Yan followed, in doubt still as to the strict honesty of the proceeding.
"Now look at that," as one huge spark after another exploded from the fire and dropped on the bed and the teepee cover. "How can I help it?" "I'll bet Da's best cow against your jack-knife you got some Ellum or Hemlock in that fire." "Well, I have," Yan admitted, with an air of surrender.

"That's what the Injuns used; that's what we used ourselves in the airly days of this yer settlement." The boys had looked for a rebuke, and here was a helping hand. It all turned on the fact that this was "play hours," Raften left with a parting word: "In wan hour an' a half the pigs is fed."
