He went crazy there, and I was compelled to strap him. I brought it the rest of the way." "Where is Murphy?" "Back with the pack-train, sir. I got him through alive, but entirely gone in the head." "Run across many hostiles in that region?" "They were thick this side the Rosebud; all bucks, and travelling north." "Sioux?" "Mostly, sir, but I saw one band wearing Cheyenne war-bonnets."
'How would root-beer do? asked a voice behind them, which made Dolly spring to his feet and Stuffy roll over like a startled porpoise.

His corduroy breeches were retained in position by a leathern strap round the waist, and were tied and buttoned at the knee, displaying beneath a solid calf and foot encased in strong high-laced boots.
Christopher leaned over and began buckling and unbuckling a leather strap in the harness-box.
