Helen pulled her sleeve and Ruth was turning away when she saw that the little, piglike eyes of the harpist were turned upon them. He smiled in his sly way and actually nodded at them. "Sh! he remembers us," whispered Helen. "Oh, do come away, Ruth!" "He isn't any handsome object, that's a fact," muttered Tom. "And the cheek of him nodding to you two girls!"
The major's face twisted into an exulting grin as his piglike eyes fell on Kid Wolf. "We meet again," he grated. "You see, Señor Keed Wolf," said Don Floristo, "that we have you. By accident, Señor Wolf, your plans miscarried. Thinking I could sell you a ranch, as you were buying cattle, I sent a rider al instante for my friend, the Major Stover.
And there's a chipmunk who lives in my cabin and runs over my bed. I've a new pet the little pig you christened Pinky. After he had the wonderful good fortune to be caressed and named by you I couldn't think of letting him grow up in an ordinary piglike manner. So I fetched him home.
He was a chief, of wild and strange appearance, with a black beard half covering his piglike face; a thin, bent, elderly chief, with hairy hands, and a head on which there was nothing at all, and teeth so loose in his mouth that at night he laid them in a cup beside him.
"Say, Mister! don't you bring those dogs ashore here!" she called to the sheriff. He was a big, red-faced, beefy-looking man, with a bristling mustache and little, piglike eyes. "I wanter know!" he said, huskily. "Who do you think you are giving orders to, young lady?" "You are a sheriff, aren't you?" "Yes I be," said the man. "And you are searching all the woods around about for a convict?"
His little piglike eyes took in everything, and here at length he found a department in which he could lead. It looked as though little pig-eyed Guy was really cut out for a hunter. He made a number of very clever hidings of the Deer.
Richard afterwards learnt that this voracity of appetite was nerve begotten. In moments of acute agitation it was Van Diest's custom to eat enormously on the theory that a full belly begets a placid mind. His little piglike eyes darted to and fro among the cates before him assuring themselves that he was missing nothing.
They had four or five species of what might loosely be called birds, and something that could easily be classed as a reptile, and a carnivorous mammal the size of a cat with birdlike claws, and a herbivore almost identical with the piglike thing in the big Darfhulva mural, and another like a gazelle with a single horn in the middle of its forehead.
One day he came on piglike footprints in the woods. He followed them with little difficulty, for they were new, and a heavy rain two hours before had washed out all other trails. After about half a mile they led him to an open ravine, and as he reached its brow he saw across it a flash of white; then his keen young eyes made out the forms of a Deer and a spotted Fawn gazing at him curiously.
