What possessed you to buy such a varmint as that? "'Grave digger! said doleful Steve, 'what is that? "'Why, sais he, 'they went one day to bury a man, down to Clare did the French, and when they got to the grave, who should be in it but the pony. He couldn't see, and as he was a feedin' about, he tumbled in head over heels and they called him always arterwards 'the Grave-digger."
They shook hands cordially, and we now must leave the family for a time, to follow the course of other events that bear upon our narrative. A Holy Steeple Chase A Dead Heat Blood against Varmint Rival Claims A Mutual Disappointment The Last Plea for Salvation Non Compos Mentis
There's a varmint of some kind!" Elnora ran into the sitting-room and thrust the heavy kitchen towel into her mother's hand. Mrs. Comstock swung open the screen door and struck at some object, Elnora tossed the hair from her face so that she could see past her mother. The girl screamed wildly. "Don't! Mother, don't!" Mrs. Comstock struck again. Elnora caught her arm. "It's the one I want!
'I told him to get some gins for the rats in my rooms, and he shook his absurd head like any mandarin, and said, "There baint no trap as will rid you of them kind of varmint, sir." 'Of course, my father said, 'rats are part of the entail of an old house. You may reckon on them. 'Those rooms of yours are the very place for them, added my mother.
"Then, of course, you must have a six-shooter and a rifle. No man in his senses would start across the plains without them. It is true there ain't much fear of red-skins between here and Bridger, but there is never any saying when the varmint may be about. Can you shoot?" "No; I never fired off a rifle or a pistol in my life."
"At last the brash grew thinner, and jest as I was in hopes I might stumble on the bar tree, what shed I see afore me but the face o' a rocky bluff, that riz a consid'able height over the crik bottom. I begun to fear that the varmint had a cave, and so, cuss him! he had a great black gulley in the rocks was right close by, and thar was his den, and no mistake.

Beasley called on Miss Helen an' offered to marry her so's not to take the ranch from her, he said."
"I know what he'll like better than anything." "Well?" "Your revolver, to be sure!" "My revolver to be suren't!" exclaimed Dion passionately, inventing a negative. "I bought it at great cost to defend you with, not for the endowment of a half-naked varmint from the wilderness under Drouva." "Be careful, Dion; you're insulting a Doric boy!" "Here I'll insult him with a ten-lepta piece."
"Don't think of it," said he. "I know he is here, Tom, and I shan't go after him. But don't let him come near me, the nasty little, creeping, murdering varmint. Poor Abner will never get over his tomahawk not if he lives fifty years." In short, it was agreed they should go alone at peep of day. "I have talked it over with Jem already, and he will take charge of our tent till we come back."
I see the varmint have carried off the nice row of venison hams that used to hang up round the chimney, but there may be somethin' in the loft." "No bad thought that of yours, Green," answered the corporal, "Cass, you killed the bird, you must pluck it and grill it."
