"All the way," said Muckluck. "He want to be sure." Several bucks came running down from the Kachime, and stood about, coughed and spat, and offered assistance or advice. When at last Ol' Chief was satisfied with the way the raw walrus-hide was laced and lashed, Nicholas cracked his whip and shouted, "Mush! God-damn! Mush!" "Good-bye, Princess.
But of course not one of them had thought about that. Now Little White Fox had lain hid behind the muckluck grass nearly splitting himself with laughter at the thought of the whacking their heads were going to get after awhile. But when he had waited a long time and no one had come to molest his cousins, he began to want one of those eggs for himself. It happened that this was the nest of Old Mrs.
Just as he was about to despair, Rover began to bark in the distance. Following the sound, he came to where the dog was apparently barking at nothing. But as the boy approached, the dog shot away over the ice. "A trail!" he muttered, following on. The ice was hard and smooth. A soft skin "muckluck" would leave no mark. Even the hard toes of a white bear would not scratch it.
"The Colonel'll have to take over the breeches," said the Boy, with the air of one wandering in his head. Then, desperately: "What am I to do? What am I to say?" "Say? You say you no like girl scream, no like her fight like Anna. Heh? So, me I come like your girls quite, quite good.... Heh?" "You don't understand, Muckluck. I you see, I could never find that Orange Grove if you came along."
"Ol' Chief's father, Glovotsky, him Russian," Yagorsha began again, laying down his sinew-thread a moment and accepting some of the Colonel's tobacco. "I didn't know you had any white blood in you," interrupted the Colonel, offering his pouch to Nicholas. "I might have suspected Muckluck " "Heap got Russian blood," interrupted Joe.
After about half an hour of oblivion the Boy started up with the drowsy impression that a flying spark from the dying fire had set their stuff ablaze. No. But surely the fire had been made up again and he rubbed the sleep out of his incredulous eyes yes, Muckluck was standing there! "What in thunder!" he began. "Wh-what is it?" "It is me." "I can see that much. But what brings you here?"
For a pair of mitts he sells his daughter to that ruffian." Without definite plan, quite vaguely and instinctively, he shook himself free from Muckluck, and rushed down to the scene of the tragedy. Muffled screams and yells issued with the smoke. Muckluck turned sharply to the Colonel, who was following, and said something that sent him headlong after the Boy.
"Me Anna Yagorsha's daughter." "Oh, yes, I thought I'd seen you before." She seemed to be only a little older than Muckluck, but less attractive, chiefly on account of her fat and her look of ill-temper. She was on specially bad terms with a buck they called Joe, and they seemed to pass all their time abusing one another. The Boy craned his neck and looked round.
We'll take care of your father, though I'm sure he oughtn't to go." "Oh yes," answered Muckluck confidently; then lower, "Shamán make all well quick. Hey? Goo'-bye." "Good-bye." "Don't forget tell Sister Winifred I say my p " But the Boy had to run to keep up with the sled. For some time he kept watching the Ol' Chief with unabated astonishment, wondering if he'd die on the way.
He seized the doughty champion by the feet just as he was disappearing in the tunnel, and hauled him out. "What in thunder All right, you go first, then. Quick! as more screams rent the still air. "Don't be a fool. You've been interruptin' the weddin' ceremonies." Muckluck had caught up with them, and Yagorsha was advancing leisurely across the snow.
