“They catch um fast,” he muttered.

“Do you live in that hole?” he asked changing the subject and pointing to the hill.

The dwarf nodded his head.

“In the winter time too?”

Again he nodded assent.

“I should think you’d freeze,” Bob said.

“Got good stove in dar. Keep plenty warm.”

“Well, Dan, we don’t want to do anything to harm you but that camp belongs to a friend of ours and he’s lost a lot of money because you scared away all his guests and I guess it’s up to us to take you to jail unless you promise that you won’t do it any more. How about it?”

The dwarf’s eyes were filled with terror as he heard Bob mention the jail.
