"I do not see in what better manner we can spend a few hours." "And it's the same idaa that has been strhiking me ever since we sot foot in this qua'r looking place. It's meself that is so sleapy that at ivery wink I makes I has to lift the eyelids up with my fingers, and me eyes feels as though the wind has been blowing sand in 'em all day."
"I've been thinkin'," said Terry, "that bein' as how we started from Greville to j'in the Hunters of the Ozark, with the idaa of spindin' the winter with the same, that from the time we started we were mimbers of the same, but timporarily separated by a wide stritch of woods; what are yer own idaas?"
"I've an idaa," remarked the Irish lad, who was stretched out in a lazy posture, with his cap in hand, while, as was his custom, he scratched his pate with the other; "I'm thinkin' why couldn't we aich take a torch in hand and walk along over the path with the same?" Fred was half inclined to try the experiment, but fear prevented.
"Begorrah, if yees can't talk better sinse nor that, ye'd bist put a stopper on yer blab. The idaa of me master harming any one is too imposterous to be intertained by a fraa and inlightened people a fraa and inlightened people, as I used to spell out in the newspapers at home. But whisht! Ye are a savage, as don't know anything about Fourth of July, an' all the other affections of the people."
"It's not a bad idaa," assented the Irishman. "Pick yours out, and then we'll turn the others loose." "Why will you do that?" "What's the use of laving them here? Them spalpeens will find their way out of the cave before long, and then they will strike straight for these animals, and, if they happen to get out pretty soon, they'll make trouble with us. We might as well let 'em walk awhile."
Bowlby to have one of the horses to ride." "I don't see much chance of the same," was the sensible comment of Terry; "but, me boy, have ye any idaa of what time it is?" "It must be far beyond midnight: surely we are a long ways in advance of the Winnebago camp where we left Deerfoot." "They are not meaning to make a start to-night?" "Of course not; they will not move until morning."
"No use of waitin'," said Terry; "let's take hold; I've an idaa that we ain't far from the cabin and ivery mile that we can make now counts." Fred started to give his help, when to his unbounded amazement, he narrowly missed going headlong over a small Indian canoe that lay at their feet.
"He's inside, sharing my couch with me, or, rather, was doing so when you disturbed us." Tim broke into laughter. "That's a good idaa; I niver heerd of anything like it before. Is there room for Billy, too?" "I'm afraid we would be crowded; but come inside till I strike a match and show you how things are fixed." The two entered, and Warren ignited another lucifer.
I'll t'ach him bitter manners." The gun was discharged, the bullet passing within a few inches of the head of the Indian, who sprung back with a grunt. "A purty good shot," laughed Teddy; "but it would be rayther tiresome killing game, being I could only hit them as run behind me, and being I can't saa in that direction, I'll give over the idaa; and turn me undivided attention to fishing.
"Begorrah, if that isn't the idaa!" responded the Irishman, with mock enthusiasm; "only I was considering wouldn't it be as well to call out the name of me friends. Ye know what a swate voice I have. When I used to thry and sing in choorch, the ould gintleman always lambasted me for filing the saw on Sunday. But why don't ye craap forward and extend me yer paw, as the bear said to the man?"
