Mister Conductor, stop that car 'cause Ah got a big fat letter for Polly!" Jeb shouted with all the power his small frame could produce in such a hurry, but the conductor heard him not. "Stop that car! Oh, jumpin' rattle-snakes won't you-all stop that car?" His yearning was pitiful but the car cared naught. "Here, here, Jeb! what is the matter with you-all?" called Mr.
The light hearted fellow gloried in these shining encasements of his well shaped legs, and told Philip that they were a perfect protection against prairie rattle-snakes, which never strike above the knee.

I have myself gone over several of this Sort, and others; yet it pleased God, I never came to any harm. This I have seen by a Squirrel and one of these Rattle-Snakes; and other Snakes have, in some measure, the same Power.

The owls rose up before them, alighting at short distances; then, once more startled, they would fly farther off, sometimes sailing away until out of sight, and sometimes, like the marmots, hiding themselves within the burrows. The rattle-snakes, too, betook themselves to the burrows, and so did the lizards and agamas.
