kind as to make some inquiry, and

that one of them should take my

of his bravery by pocketing a fee
shooter and mounting the pony; he,
however, being more cautious than
myself, kept in speaking distance.

might be attacked by some wild beast,
and then it was rather cool anyhow.
Just before stopping l had received a
severe dig in my temples from the

the wagon, and l felt considerably
unwell, besides what allied me. White
