CHAPTER xxx.
The Verge of Confession.

Murphy uttered one suffering cry
of surprise, finging his hand instinct
lively to his hip, but attempted no
more. Hampton's ready weapon was
thrusting its muzzle into the astound-
ed face, and the gray eyes cleaning
along the polished barrel held the fell
low motionless.

but stern, and the old frontiersman
obeyed mechanically, although his
scanned face was fairly distorted with
rage.
