We hunters hevn't much humanity I reckon that's what you called it but we've lost so many friends an' relatives, an' hearn of so many murders by the reddys that we look on all of 'em as wild varmints that should be killed on sight. Now, mebbe it'll interest you to know I was the feller who took the vote Williamson told you about, an' I did it 'cause I had an interest in you.
"All right, sir," said Giles, "I'll go, and I prays you'll find some one what will keep your hares which you must have, and your pheasants which you must have, and your partridges which you must have, without killing these varmints of foxes what eats the lot." The Red-faced Man descended from the tree holding his nose and looked at Giles. Giles sucked his bleeding hand and looked at him.
All day long the warriors lined the picket fence in front of the house, and more than once Tom McChesney roughly shouldered a lane through them that timid visitors might pass. Like a pack of wolves, they watched narrowly for any sign of weakness. As for Tom, they were to him as so many dogs. "Ye varmints!" he cried, "I'll take a blizz'rd at ye if ye don't keep the way clear."
There was not the sign of an Indian visible. "Skulp me! if that ain't a purty way to manage such things!" he exclaimed, astonished at the shape the matter had taken. "Them varmints couldn't have knowed that Sut Simpson owned that hoss, or they'd have tied him up tighter than that, and they'd had somebody down yer to watch him; but they war a couple of greenys, that's mighty sartin.
While we were looking at the pictures some of the old varmints had fought in the Revolutionary war, so she said I noticed how close we were sitting together. Then we sat farther apart after we had gone through the album, one on each end of the sofa, and talked about the neighborhood, until I suddenly remembered that I had to go.
"Martin, lad," remarked Barney, as they followed the Negro slave who had been sent by Senhor Antonio, the planter, to conduct them to the lake, while he remained behind for an hour or two to examine the bales of the old trader; "this is the quarest country, I believe, that iver was made; what with bastes, and varmints, and riptiles, and traes, and bushes, and rivers, it bates all creation."
I have a style of sliding his warriors under, when I run a-foul of 'em, that Lone Wolf understands, and he's larned long ago who it was that wiped out them two varmints that he sent out to look around arter me. Halloa! here we air!" As he spoke, he reached a break in the continuity of the wall to which they had been clinging.
Tom radioed a terse report of their experience to the task-force commander and in turn was told that none of the naval craft had either sighted or picked up any sign of a strange sub. As they streaked homeward, Chow was still fuming. "Why don't we post a dummy sub there to scare off the varmints?" "I'll pass the idea along to the Navy," Tom said with a grin.
"If we squaze in under that same place," said Mickey, indicating the inward slope of the rock, they can't hit us; but I don't believe that such is their intention." "What do you suppose it to be?" "That's hard to say; but these varmints ain't ready to shoot us jist yet. Leastaways, they don't want to do so, until they're sure there ain't anything else lift for 'em to'do."
"I say, Joseph, if that's your name, may I address you as 'Old Dear' without imperilling my life?" teased Hippy. "Ye kin call me anything ye like. After the talk of them varmints anything would sound as sweet as the harps of Heving in a thunder storm." "All right Old Dear," answered Hippy solemnly.
