"I will shoot you down like a coyote next time," he said. But the woman pleaded that she was not to blame. Johnny had persisted in his attentions to her, and she could not drive him off. "If you want to get rid of him, shoot him," said Peter.
Maybe so Charley Tommy stop Osceola camp, maybe Miami Billy camp, maybe so not stop anywhere. They say they sick ojus, want whyome. That means they're awful sick and want whisky, but all Injuns is that. These is good Injuns. Better do what they say." The trail to the Indian's camp was a crooked one, but Johnny followed it without trouble, although it was nearly dark when they reached the camp.
"That's where he nests," chuckled Skimmer. "What?" cried Johnny Chuck. "Do you mean to say he nests on Farmer Brown's barn?" "No," replied Skimmer. "He nests in it.

He did not know just where, however. He told of the rancho they had flown to that morning, the rancho Johnny had discovered a short mile from where he had got the plane in the first place.
