HE STICKS TO HIS GAME.
The Mexi(;ans not being able to speak a w(ord of English,
and Jimmny not understanding a word of Spa,nish, they
found much difficulty in forcing him to comprehend their
object in coining after him, he resisting all their attempts to
bring him back; for, as it was the first deer that Jimmy had
ever killed, he had no idea of leaving it until it was brought
into camp.
The vaqueros, finding their efforts unavailing, returned to
Mr. Poston to report. After listening to the story, Dr.
Parker volunteered to take a wagon and go with the men
to bring the game into camp. Although quite late when
the doctor reached the spot, he found Jimmy patiently waiting by the side of his prize for the arrival of some one to
assist him to bring the game in.
In the mean while Mr. Poston and myself had quietly
arranged a plan of action for our evening's amusement. The
sound of wheels in the distance, together with voices,
Jimmy's "rich Irish brogue" being easily distinguishable,
announced the return of the party. Jimmy soon appeared,
highly elated, and begging us to go at once and look at the
game. We found it a very fine buck; and Mr. Poston, after
examining it attentively for a few moments, gravely remaiked to me, "Yes, that is the animal; I should ha-e recognized it
among a thousand." And then turning to Jimmy, requested him to relate his story, which he was nothing loath
to do.
