Dick looked at his friend with an expression of concern. "What's to be

examining the locks of Dick's rifle, continued to inspect them with an
appearance of careless indifference that he was far from feeling.

one could discharge it but himself. Dick had, during his short stay at
the Pawnee village, amused himself and the savages by exhibiting his
marvellous powers with the "silver rifle.
