"The hail's goin' to drive all through the night," Giant Tom called out in the darkness. "Right you are," said the hunter, "and the Sioux won't think of trying that pass on such a night. They're back in the valley, in wickiups of their own." "Might it not stop them entirely?" asked Will. "No, young William, it won't," said the Little Giant.

"You had best leave me alone," said Grimes; "you are a good-natured forgiving little chap, and that's truth; but you'd best be off. The hail's coming on soon, and it will beat the eyes out of your little head." "What hail?"
