We had no doubt it was one of the scouts we had sent out; for who else was likely at that time to be coming to us? "If it is not one of our scouts, it may be some white trapper who has been caught by the Dacotahs, and has made his escape from them," observed John Pipestick, who had joined us. "They frequently come thus far west, and those varmints are certain to have been on the lookout for them."
But I kinder had the start on 'em, and I whipped, and I cut, and I run, and I dodged. And so says I, 'I've beat you, you tarnation scalping varmints! when up jumps that long-legged feller, and the five behind him; and, blast 'em, that riz my corruption. And I "
"Little varmints!" he said, apostrophizing the absent school children who had wrought the deed. "Can't they let nothin' alone?" He took up his bag, and went on. Nicholas Oldfield, as he walked the road that day, was a familiar figure to all the county round. He had a smooth, carefully shaven face, with a fine outline of nose and chin, and his straight gray hair shone from faithful brushing.
"Didn't one of the cussid varmints, just play the same trick on you?" "But I won't admit he's got my pony," declared Hal. "Tell us please, how he stole your horse, will you?" inquired Ned. He laid himself flat upon the ground, and crawled through the grass towards the animal selected, using his elbows as the propelling power. This was done so slowly as not to alarm the herd in the least.

"Oh, that's all right," said Jack easily. "I'm only glad that we came along when we did." "Well, you sure acted different from them other varmints," said Zeb with deep conviction. "The doc tole me all about it." His face suddenly grew grave as he changed the subject. "Did you find anything on the ground thereabouts after I got knocked out?" he asked. "What sort of a thing?" asked Jack.
He looked at the articles a moment, and, grasping the situation at a glance, ran his eye over the outfit for the culprit. But there was not a word or a smile. He walked over and threw the articles into the fire, remarking, "Good whiskey and bad women will be the ruin of you varmints yet."
Our host had a lame hand, and the professor volunteered to drive; our friends, the varmints, now confined their kind attentions almost exclusively to the horses, which they butchered unmercifully. Oh, such roads!
Why, ever since I c'n remember I've heard the tallest yarns about it. Some say it's just a nest of crawlers; and others, that all the varmints left unshot in the big timber up beyond have a roost on that strip of land in the middle of the river." "Rats!" scoffed Steve, derisively. "That's all talk; hot air, you might say.
In my day we called them differently. I came across the Rockies in '32, Monsieur. But I must be en route here are sheep coming."
