It was embarrassin', because he wasn't polite about how he jumped.

We scattered some, an' when Wallace got his gun, the cougar was humpin' down the slope, an' he was goin' so fast an' the pinyons was so thick thet Wallace couldn't get a fair shot, an' missed.

Tige an' the pup was so scared by the shots they wouldn't take the trail again.

I heard some one shoot about a million times, an' shore thought the cougar was done for.

Wallace went plungin' down the slope an' I followed.
