cried Mrs Jo , fired at once ; for misfortune was much more interesting to her than good luck . ` Do it , do it ! ' echoed Ted , applauding as if at a play , ` and take me along to help . I 'm just raging to get among those fine fellows and hunt . ' ` Let us hear more and see if it is wise , ' said Mr Laurie , privately resolving to people his as yet unbought prairies with Montana Indians , and increase his donations to the society that sent missionaries to this much wronged people . Dan plunged at once into the history of what he saw among the Dakotas , and other tribes in the Northwest , telling of their wrongs , patience , and courage as if they were his brothers . ` They called me Dan Fire Cloud , because my rifle was the best they ever saw . And Black Hawk was as good a friend as a fellow would want ; saved my life more than once , and taught me just what will be useful if I go back . They are down on their luck , now , and I 'd like to pay my debts . ' By this time everyone was interested , and Dansville began to lose its charm . But prudent Mr Bhaer suggested that one honest agent among many could not do much , and noble as the effort would be , it was wiser to think over the matter carefully , get influence and authority from the right quarters , and meantime look at lands before deciding . ` Well , I will . I 'm going to take a run to Kansas and see how that promises . Met a fellow in ` Frisco who 'd been there , and he spoke well of it . The fact is , there 's so much to be done every where that I do n't know where to catch on , and half wish I had n't any money , ' answered Dan , knitting his brows in the perplexity all kind souls feel when anxious to help at the great task of the world 's charity . ` I 'll keep it for you till you decide . You are such an impetuous lad you 'll give it to the first beggar that gets hold of you . I 'll turn it over while you are prospecting , and hand it back when you are ready to invest , shall I ? ' asked Mr Laurie , who had learned wisdom since the days of his own extravagant youth . ` Thanky , sir , I 'd be glad to get rid of it .
You just hold on till I say the word ; and if anything happens to me this time , keep it to XXXXX some other scamp as you helped me .
