Well, he bravely walked out of the door, and as he did so the dog-soldier, with the gun, exclaimed: "Ah, here you are at last! Now hurry up, Uncle Wiggily, or we'll be late for the parade!"

Their appeals to us to rescue them were pitiful. I knew the prisoners would be sent far north to the villages, and their winter quarters out of our reach; that these villages were unprotected because every brave and dog-soldier had his warpaint on and was joining the hostile forces attacking along our lines, which were increasing every day.
Shortly afterwards over three hundred Dog-Soldier Indians commanded by old "Roman Nose," charged down upon the little band of heroes, giving them volley after volley; but finally the scouts, at a favorable opportunity, returned their fire with telling effect.
Oh, how fine they looked! and, when they marched past, all the animal people, and some real boys and girls, and papas and mammas clapped their hands and cried "Hurrah!" at the sight of the old gentleman rabbit limping along on his crutch, with the dog-soldier marching beside him. "Who knows," whispered Percival to Uncle Wiggily, "who knows but what you may discover your fortune to-day?"

"Well, is Uncle Wiggily coming out?" called the dog again. "I guess I am that is are you sure you want me?" asked the poor old gentleman rabbit, puzzled like.
