I've got a plan, I says, 'and if it don't work I'll know them calamity howlers is right and I wont vote Democratic never again not, I says, 'if I have to vote for Bryan! "He trails along behind me, and his head is hanging low and he mutters to hisself. Injun file we retraces our weary footsteps until we comes once more to the village of Plentiful Valley.
Confound you, you turned out in togs at this late hour, just to put me out of the running!" Before noon the next day Lehigh turned up -team, subs., howlers and all, and as many as could crowded into the conveyances that had been sent down to the railway station to meet the team and coaches.
As was to be expected, the eternal calamity howlers and false prophets of evil raise their fatidical voices on this present occasion, in protest against female suffrage, invoking the sanctity of the home and the necessity of perpetuating customs that have been observed for many years. Frankly speaking, I have no patience with people who voice such objections.
An air of sorrow hung over everything, the rooters were silent, and the teams played listlessly. Frank Lyman went over where the wildest howlers usually sat.

Do you know what his last words were?

Seven horses are despatched to a straggling start, and all negotiate the first bank safely.
Great caravans en route for Khotan, Yarkand, and even Chinese Tibet arrived daily from Kashmir, the Panjab, and Afghanistan, and stacked their bales of goods in the place; the Lhassa traders opened shops in which the specialties were brick tea and instruments of worship; merchants from Amritsar, Cabul, Bokhara, and Yarkand, stately in costume and gait, thronged the bazaar and opened bales of costly goods in tantalising fashion; mules, asses, horses, and yaks kicked, squealed, and bellowed; the dissonance of bargaining tongues rose high; there were mendicant monks, Indian fakirs, Moslem dervishes, Mecca pilgrims, itinerant musicians, and Buddhist ballad howlers; bold-faced women with creels on their backs brought in lucerne; Ladakis, Baltis, and Lahulis tended the beasts, and the wazir's jemadar and gay spahis moved about among the throngs.
I can kill Mionvu and his principal men myself, and you can slay all those howlers out there without much trouble. If Mionvu and his principal were dead we should not be troubled much, and we could strike south to the Mala-garazi, and go west to Ujiji." "No, no, dear master, don't think of it for a moment. If we went neat the Malagarazi we should come across Lokanda-Mira."
The miserable dried meat in our knapsacks was put away and this splendid jerked beef put in its place. The wolves came to our camp and howled in dreadful disappointment at not getting a meal. Rogers wanted me to shoot the miserable howlers, but I let them have their concert out, and thought going without their breakfast must be punishment enough for them.
Let's have a look at yours." In ten minutes four tremendous howlers in as many sums had been reproduced on Gordon's paper.
