"Den he sort o' remember what he come for, an' he speak out mighty
quick. `You yust better get a wiggle on you mighty sudden,' ses he.
`Ou' King Lion he's a roarin' for darie Ou' Jackalse fit to tear up de
bushes. "Where's darie Ou' Jackalse? If he don't get here mighty quick
he'll know all about it," roars he. "What's de use o' me makin' him my
doctor if he ain't here when he's wanted? Dis claw I neah tore out
killin' a Koodoo yeste'day--he'd better be yust lively now a-gittin'
here to doctor dat. Fetch him!" roars he, an' here I am, an' I tell you
you yust better git a move on you,' ses Hahsie.

"Ou' Jackalse he tink, but he don't let on nawthin' but what he's yust
so sick as to split. `I's dat bad I cahnt har'ly crawl,' ses he--`but
you go 'long an' tell King Lion I's a-comin' as soon's ever I get some
medicine mix'.'

"`Well, I tol' you--you better be quicker'n blue lightnin' all de same,'
ses Hahsie, an' off he flicks, as if he's sort o' considerin' what's de
