PRos.-The stranger that came
with Estell volunteered his services.
LA MARIE was probably some
shepherd or hunter who is well ac-
uuaiuted with the mountain country.
PRos.-Well, so far all things
worked favorably for me; but at this
juncture that old luuatic-Blauco--
happened in.
LIE Roc.-Yes, he's always where
he isn't wanted, like one born out of

earth, then is the time to see the
councils of the wolves.
LIE Roc.-Yes; and thy visit may
be longer here than thou desirest.
Thou art prisoner.
