'What chance had I to tell with all yez agin me, ruinin' my Injun flock, an' playin' that mean trick upon me in sendin' me to Siwash Crik? De yez think I'd care to tell ye?" "What trick?" asked Mr. Radhurst. "What! ye never heered?" "No, not a word." "No? Waal, now, that's queer. It's been the talk of the camp ever since.
