And when you hear the Chewinks scratching in the underbrush, remember they are putting leaves on the grave of the White Dawnsinger. Surely you have guessed the secret; the flower is the Bloodroot, and the Whizz is the Sharp-shinned Hawk. The Prairie-girl with Yellow Hair Tall and fair was the Prairie-girl.
He untied his old mare and it was typical of the relations between him and the natives that one of the elder men hung on to the off stirrup while Walker from a convenient boulder hoisted himself heavily into the saddle. That same night when Walker according to his habit was strolling along the road that ran past his house, he heard something whizz past him and with a thud strike a tree.
"Yellow Elk!" came from his lips, when whizz! the tomahawk left the redskin's hand and came swirling through the air directly for his head. He dropped like lightning, and the keen blade sank deeply into the tree behind him. "Wough!" grunted the Indian when he saw how he had missed his mark. Then he leveled the pistol in his left hand at Pawnee Brown's head.
It was not long, however, before both he and his companions witnessed its complete verification. The old birds, after the arrival of the voyageurs upon the promontory, had remained for some time around the nest, and at intervals had shot down to where the party was, uttering loud screams, and making the air whizz with the strokes of their wings.
But at length, with a swish and a whizz, the sleighs shot around a curve, and slid out on a broad expanse of smooth ice. Off jumped the natives, laughing and chatting. Then Jack realized the truth. The Esquimaux, instead of trusting to their dogs to draw them down the steep hill, had simply coasted, just as Jack had done many a time at home.
"That's all right, Pete; I ain't worryin'." "Well I be, some," said Pete. "Lemme see fifty for the saddle, seven for the bridle -and she's some bridle! and eighteen for the chaps fifteen for the boots that's ninety dollars. Gee whizz! Then there's four for that blanket and ten for them spurs. That's a hundred and four. 'Course I could git along without a new lid.
"Here it comes... this one is coming our way again!" he thought, listening to an approaching whistle in the hidden region of smoke. "One, another! Again! It has hit...." He stopped and looked at the ranks. "No, it has gone over. But this one has hit!" And again he started trying to reach the boundary strip in sixteen paces. A whizz and a thud!
A missile came in that some officer at once hailed as a whizz bang. It is called that, for that is just exactly the sound it makes. It is like a giant firecracker, and it would be amusing if one did not know it was deadly. These missiles are not fired by the big guns behind the lines, but by the small trench cannon worked, as a rule, by compressed air.
The sound also of drums and cymbals, O son of Radha, is being heard on all sides, as also the whizz of diverse kinds of arrows, and the din made by cars and steeds and men. Listen also, O Karna, to the loud twang produced by the bow-strings of high-souled warriors. Behold, O Karna, those banners of Arjuna, that are equipped with rows of bells, and decked with golden moons and stars.
How do you stand now on the wages question? What did the Drooper start on, Whizz? This last question was addressed to Mrs. Perkins, whose real name, as I learned later never once heard upon her husband's lips was Isabel. 'Eight shillings, replied Mrs. Perkins. 'But, of course, wages have risen a good bit since then.
