Captain Chap by Frank R. Stockton — Read

It was not long before the Indian who had gone after his two hunting companions returned with them to the place where Chap and the Indian, whom we will call "The Talker," were eating their mid-day meal.

The new-comers were duly introduced to Chap, and expressed their willingness to take part in the expedition. Each of these men carried a rifle, and the smaller and more quiet of the two Indians whom Chap had first met was the only member of the party besides our friend who was not armed.
