Chapter XIV
Sarcastic remarks and recrimination were now freely indulged in by the hunters. "Pah--scairt, plumb scairt," was the father's disgusted comment on the pack. "They could catch up easy enough, but when he turned on them, they lighted out for home--pah!" "Where's that thar onsurpassable, fearless, scaired-o'-nort Tarrier?" asked Hilton, scornfully. "I don't know," said I.
