Thar ain't a moccasin track to he'p tell who drops this yere Burke. Nacrerally, everybody's deeply taken to know who does it; for if thar's a party in camp who's out to shoot when your back's turned, findin' of him an' hangin' him can't be too pop'lar an' needful as a play.

'Whom not to know argues one's self unknown. Your most obedient, ma'am," bowing and scraping. "Your son has attracted the attention of the officers, and made himself pop'lar with every body. Mabby ye haven't heerd " "I've heard," interrupted the anxious mother. "But how is he? Tell me that!" "Wal, he was a little grain more chirk last night, I was told.
