"Wal, I'm hopin' they won't fight," said the ranger, squinting along the road below the ridge. "Oh, I wanter see a fight zuckers, I do!" exclaimed Lot. "Be still, you bloodthirsty young savage!" commanded 'Siah. "You wanter shoot down men of your own color, do ye? Beech-sealin' an' duckin' is all right; but it's an awful thing to draw bead on another white man, as ye'll l'arn some day."
A sleigh was a luxury that few Bennington people owned, although Nuck might have hitched the old wood-sled to Dobbin. He spent one night at a farmer's on the road, and was welcomed at supper time the next evening at the Lewis house. "Zuckers!" exclaimed Lot, running out to drag his friend off his horse, "I tell ye, I'm glad to see ye! And so'll marm be if the young uns don't bother her too much.
"Zuckers! but that was a great fight," he cried, hugging Enoch in his joy at finding him practically unhurt. "But you look as though you had been killin' beeves, Nuck. And who's this with you?" The individual in question rose stiffly to his feet with a significant "Umph!" "Why!" exclaimed Lot, "it's an Injin it's Crow Wing! Where'd you pick him up, Nuck?"
But Lot had fairly dragged the angry Enoch to the door and now pushed him out of the inn. "What's the matter with you, Nuck?" he demanded. "D'you want to get us all into trouble?" "That's Simon Halpen!" exclaimed Enoch, panting with excitement. "I'd have flown at his throat in another moment." "Zuckers!" exclaimed Lot. "The feller that burned down your marm's house? Don't blame ye for bein' mad.
"I'll get mother ter be layin' out a quilt, or something, an' the girls can help about that." "Zuckers!" cried Lot. "We'll have the finest time ever was. I'll be sure an' tell ev'rybody down my way. An' we'll all bring powder an' shot; it won't matter so much about guns, for them that don't have 'em can borry of them that has, when it comes to shootin'."
"My mother won't whip me if I git shot; but I mustn't run into danger, for she wouldn't know what to do without me," he said, proudly. "Bryce ain't much use yet, you know." "Zuckers!" exclaimed Lot, "I wisht my marm was like yourn. I ain't got no father neither; but Uncle Jim don't let me do nothin', an' marm's allus wearin' out a beech twig on me."
We won't be cheating the Injin, for they'll do him no good. And there's no use in the traders makin' so much on him." "Then we'll go with him and see that the traders treat him honestly," declared young Harding. "Zuckers!" exclaimed the careless Lot. "Catch me putting myself out that way for a redskin." "You're glad enough to use his traps, Lot!" cried Enoch.
To HERR VON PUTTKAMER, AT REINFELD, NEAR ZUCKERS, POMERANIA. Dear Father, You have just become, with God's gracious help, the grandfather of a healthy, well-formed girl that Johanna has presented me with after hard but short pains. At the moment mother and child are doing as well as one could wish.
