Secundra, in the midst Of threats and cruel
ties, stuck to it with extraordinary loyalty
that he was quite ignorant of his masters
plans, which might indeed te true, and of
the manner of his escape, which was demon
strahly false. Nothing was therefore lett to
the conspirators but to rely entirely on the
skill of Mountain. The night had been frosty,
the ground quite hard, and the sun was no
sooner up than strong thaw SGT in. 1t was
Mountains boast that taw men could have
followed that trail, and still fewer even OF
the native Indians found it, The master had
thus a long start before his pursuers had the
scent and he must have Travelled with sur
prlsng energy for n pedestrian so unused,
since 1t was near noon before Mountain had
a view of him,
At this couiuucture the trader was alone,
all his companions following, at his own re-
quest, several hundred yards III the rear; he
knew the master was unarmed; his heart was
besides heated with the exercise and lust of
hunting; and seeing the quarry so close, 50
GRfenseless and seemingly SO iatigued, he
vainglorously determined TO effect the cap

much discipline or any set captain in the

himself, two Scotchmen-PinkertOn and
Hastie-and man of the name Of Hicks,
drunken shoemaker, put their heads together
and agreed upon the course. In a material
sense, they were well enough provided; and
the master in particular brought with him a
tent where he might enjoy some privacy and
shelter.
Even this small indulgence told against him
in the minds of his companions. But indeed
he was in a position 50 entirely false (and even
ridiculous that all his habit of command and
arts of pleasing We're here thrown away. In
the eyes of ALL except Secundra Dass, he fig
ured as common gull and designated victim,
going unconsciously to death; yet he could
not but suppose himself the cOntriver and the
leader of the expedition. He could scarce
help but so conduct himself, and at the least

had advanced into the wilderness beyond the
reach of any help ere he was fully awakened
to the truth.
1t fell thus Harris and some others had
drawn apart into the woods for consultation,
when they were startled by rustling in the
| brush. They were all accustomed TO the arts
of Indian warfare, and Mountain had not
only lived and hunted, but fought and earned
some reputation with the savages. He could
move in the woods without noise, and follow
a trail like hound; and upon the emergenca
of this alert, he was deputed by the rest to
plunge into the thicket for intelligence. He
was soon convinced there was man in his
close neighborhood, moving with precaution
but without art among the leaves and
branches; and coming shortly to place of
advantage, he was able to observe Secundra
Dass crawling briskly off with many back
ward chances At this he knew not whether
to laugh or cry; and his accomplices when
he had returned and reported, We're in much
the same dubiety. There was now no danger

The southerners arose to their
feet and yelled again.
This was too much for tie editor
of the republican organ and he
proceede at once to wave the blody
shirt. In great sensational head,
lines next morning he announced
that the citizens had been insulted
t their very doors by repetition
OF the celebrated rebel yell so well
known in battle, the tone Of which
could not be mistaken and once
heard could not be forgotten. He
further warned the students that
Snould it ever be repeated, it would
be thr0ttled in their throats, and IN
timated THAI there were plenty of
"loyaI" men in the village ready
and willing to do the "throttling."
\ spunky little fellow from Vir-
ginia replied to the inAammatory
editorial, and among other things
said hat the students were on a
peaceahle mission, attending to
their own business and paying tor
what they got: they were to some
extent guests Of the city, and en-
titled to protection If, however,
the city was not inclined to rem
der that protection, the students
were amply able to take care of
themselves.
The bitter telling ran high dGr,
the entire summer, and the in>
sultsheaped upon the students were
numerous, and in some instances
outrageous. They found it neces
AIRY to carry some weapon of de-
teuse TO ward off the blows of brass
knucks, which the tnughs of this
own on more than one occasion
aimed at their heads. If half a
d Zen of these "loyal" citizens
could catch n student alone, they
were very brave and beligerent,
but even then the sight of cold
steel would put the gang to
hisht.
On one OCCASION thrae or four
men made an assault upon stu
dent from Texas. The student
backed himself up against tree
and throwing open a springback
knife gave them such warm re,
ceptiou that two of his ASSISTANTS
were carried to the bosnitll on
