Several in the Camp.
But there were several In the camp
(Mountain among the number) whom
this brutality revolted. They would
have seen the master pistoled, or pis-
toled him themselves, without the
smallest sentiment of pity; but they
seem to have been touched by his
gallant fight and unequivocal defeat
the night before; perhaps, too, they
were even already beginning to OPP
pose themselves to their new leader;
at least, they now declared that (f
the man was sick) he should have
days rest in spite Of Hastie's
teeth.
The next morning he was manifest

to display something Of humane con-
Germ, so easily does even the pre-.
tense of doctoring awaken sympathy.

Ran Upon the Master.
When they were come back to the
camp, where Harris and Pinkerton
stood guard over Secundra, these two
ran upon the master like viragoes,
and were amazed out of measure
when they were hidden by their COM
rades to Stand back and hear what

ground he had gained, did he betray
the least sufifciency.
"Do not let us be in haste" says
he MEAT first and public speaking
after"
With that they made hasty meal;
and as soon as it was done, the mas
ter, leaning on one elbow, began his
speech. He spoke long, addressing

1t is possible Mountain may have
made a rustic, it is certain, at least,
the master raised his head and gazed
directly at that quarter Of the thicket
where his hunter lay. II could not be
sure he saw me-" Mountain said; "he
. Just looked my way like man with
his mind made up, and all the cour-
age ran out of me like rum out of a
bottle" And presently, when the mas
ter looked away again, and appeared
to resume those meditations in which
he had sat immersed before the
traders coming, Mountain skunk
stealthily back and returned to seek
the help of his companions.
Surprises Started.
And now began the chapter Of sur
prises, for the scout had scarce in
formed the others Of his discovery,
and they were yet preparing their
weapons for a rush upon the fugitive,
when the man himself appeared in
their midst, walking openly and quiet

"Ah, men!" says he, on his behold

Mountain had not mentioned his
own weakness or the masters discon-
certing gaze upon the thicket, so that

peared spontaneous. For all that, a
hub-bub arose; oaths flew, fists were
shaken, and guns pointed.

The charm of his superiority once
