"Not a bit of it," was Tim's reassuring reply. "I've obsarved the things before, and we shan't be bothered agin to-night. Take me advice and go to sleep, which the same is what I shall do mesilf as soon as I finishes me smoke." The shock, however, had been too great for all to compose their nerves at once.
"Owdashus cuss!" yelled the capting, "away with thee or I shall do mur-rer-der-r-r!" "Skurcely," obsarved the stranger, and he drew a diamond-hilted fish-knife and cut orf the capting's hed. He expired shortly, his last words bein, "we are governed too much." "People!" sed the stranger, "I'm the Juke d'Moses!"
"Not in the open; but don't furgit what I obsarved to you some time ago that an Injin, when he feels purty sartin of not being found out, ain't to be trusted. Now, younkers, I may be all wrong, but if I am, nothing won't be lost by acting as if I was right; whereas if I'm right and we don't act that way, the mischief will be to pay." "How shall we make sure?"
"I'm thinkin' they're only making observations, as me uncle obsarved, when he was cotched in the house of Larry O'Mulligan, and they'll be down on us some time, when everything is ready." "It seems to me it is a poor time to make observations in the night." "The red-skin is like an owl," replied Mickey.
He began picking his way through the shadows and among the trees, determined to keep forward until the mystery was solved. When Mickey found himself under the shelter of the trees, something like his old confidence returned. "As I obsarved some minutes ago, it's mesilf that's not going to stand any fooling," he added, loud enough for the redskins to hear.
"No; that's a leetle too much, as me mither obsarved, when me brother Tim said that he and meself had got along a whole half day without fighting, and then she whaled us both for lying. Ye couldn't tell a man's hand at that distance, but I see nothing of him, and I should like ye to tell me where he's gone." "That is what puzzles me. Maybe he is afraid that we will see him."
"If thim Winnebagos that we obsarved last night have started this way, they ain' t any more than fairly goin', which puts thim at the laast calculation a dozen good miles behind us; they won't walk any faster than we do, so we'll git to the camp a long ways ahead of 'em."
The first thing I did in this life was to utter an 'orrible roar, and I obsarved that immediately I got a drink; so I roared agin, an' got another. Leastwise I've bin told that I did, an' if it wasn't obsarvation as caused me for to roar w'en I wanted a drink, wot wos it?" Instead of replying, March started up, and shading his eyes with his right hand, gazed intently towards the horizon.
"Colonel," called one of the men behind him, "them is likely animals." "I had obsarved that fact myself; strangers, I've made up my mind to buy them critters; what's your price?" "They are not for sale," replied Captain Dawson. "Why not?" "We need them for our own use." "Then we'll trade."
This brought a response, which came in the shape of a well-known voice: "Not while I have the spirit of a man left, as me uncle obsarved when his wife commanded him to come down from a tree that she might pummel him. How are ye, old boy?" The scout had suspected the identity of his friend from the first, and had made the attempt to frighten him from the innate love of the thing.
