"I cure, me, if you like. Root good for bad eye grows here, north," said the Chippewa. "Better let him try," urged Larry. "He knows all these things. His flower seeds have evidently put the kibosh on the man in the mackinaw." "I get root, you try. No harm," said the Indian. "You scairt put in your eye, then just smell it, and tie round your head." "I'll try it, by all means," asserted Jack.
From the abutment the depths of the canyon looked in the half light pretty black, but its recesses hid no terrors of sentiment for Laramie. Fairly serene and stuffed in his baggy mackinaw, he lay for a few minutes flat on his stomach peering over the edge. Far below he could hear the rush of the river. Day was racing toward the mountain tops and diffusing its reflected light into their recesses.
Several pairs of boots, moccasins, and heavy mittens were ranged along the floor next to the wall, while from pegs above them hung a faded mackinaw, a slicker, and several pairs of corduroy trousers. Tacked to the wall above the desk was a large, highly colored calendar, while upon the opposite wall hung a rifle and a belt of yellow cartridges.
When they had pocketed the amount, and squandered it in regales or in outfits, they began to talk of pecuniary obligations at Mackinaw, which must be discharged before they would be free to depart; or engagements with other persons, which were only to be canceled by a "reasonable consideration." It was in vain to argue or remonstrate.
They took about a dollar and twenty cents out of that pan. "Now see here, you gen'l'men jest lay low about this strike." His anxiety seemed intense. They reassured him. "I don't suppose you mind our taking up a claim apiece next you," pleaded the Boy, "since the law don't allow you to stake more'n one." "Oh, that's all right," said the mackinaw man, with an air of princely generosity.
When her aunt had finally retired, she hurried on a big mackinaw and cap and slipped out to the veranda to enjoy it better. Rags, whimpering, followed her. There was not much to see, for the night was pitch black, but she enjoyed the feel of the wind and rain in her face and the little occasional dashes of sand.
Moreover, his eyes sparkled with a kind of dancing recklessness, and there was a winning familiarity about him that took even stolid Tom quite by storm. The stranger wore a plaid cap and a mackinaw jacket, the fuzzy texture of which was liberally besprinkled with burrs, which he was plucking off one by one, and throwing into the fire in great good humor.
I was floating down the Missouri River in a mackinaw boat, the sun just topping the high bad land bluffs to the east, when a splendid ram stepped out, upon a point far above the water, and stood there outlined against the sky.
The letter might be the means of preventing the garrison from falling into the enemy's hands." "Got dere, already. Garrison all kill, scalp, or prisoner. Pottawattamie talk tell me DAT" "Is this possible! Mackinaw and Chicago both gone, already! John Bull must have been at work among the savages a long time, to get them into this state of readiness!" "Sartain work long as can 'member.
The Boy turned his head round again with reviving interest in his own group. "Look here, Si," Maudie was saying: "if you want to let a lay on your new claim to anybody, mind it's got to be me." But the mackinaw man was glancing speculatively over at another group. In haste to forestall desertion, the Boy inquired: "Do you know of anything good that isn't staked yet?"
