38279	The buck would soon move; when he moved, which way would he move?
38279	Was it memory?

38279	Was it work or vain waiting for happier fortunes that made her look so tired?

38279	[ Illustration: The deer came to the big maple] Had the frosty air watered her eye?
38279	exclaimed the Trapper,"what''s this?"
38279	or were the half- frozen fingers unable to steady the cold barrel at the instant of its explosion?
38279	thou tuneful bell that ringeth on forever, friend at our feasts, and friend, too, let us call thee, at our burial, what music can equal thine?

28098	And what did ye do, Bill?
28098	Be ye drunk, or be ye sober, that ye stand there shoutin''in the cold with a log cabin within a dozen rods of ye?
28098	But what have ye in the box,--bird, beast, or fish, Bill?
28098	Ca n''t I have just a little more to eat?
28098	Do you know it, know it to a certainty?
28098	Do you know that I am a thief, and a sneak thief at that?
28098	Do you know that I have stolen skins from you, old man, skins and traps both?
28098	Do you think so?
28098	Do you think there is any chance, old man?
28098	Heavens and''arth, Bill, why do ye ax sech foolish questions? 28098 How could I see to steer if I was sitting right back of you?
28098	I say, Old Trapper,he called from under the table,"did both guns go off?
28098	If there is any such influence at work in this world as the preachers tell of, why has it not prevented me from being a thief? 28098 Is yer ladle well placed, Bill?
28098	Mother,said one of the girls, speaking out of the darkness,--"mother, is n''t this Christmas Eve?"
28098	Swing around? 28098 What did ye do when ye got to the top?"
28098	What have ye in the box, Bill?

28098	Why did n''t you shoot me when I stood skin in hand?
28098	You do n''t think I would come to your cabin to- day and not bring a present, do you?
28098	A goodly table, a goodly fire, and a goodly company,--what more could the Angel of Christmas ask to see?
28098	And after a moment, he asked, sympathetically:--"How far did ye sled them pigs, Bill?"
28098	And were those two strangers there men, or were they angels?
28098	But a man ca n''t stand everything, ef he be a Christian man and workin''away to git a Christmas sign ready; can he, Bill?"
28098	But be ye sartin, Bill, that ye can fetch round that stump there as it orter be did, with nothin''but yer toe out behind?
28098	But ef ye be sober, why do ye stand there whoopin''like an Indian, when the ambushment is onkivered and the bushes be alive with the knaves?
28098	But how are we to give him a Christmas dinner onless we give him an invite to it?
28098	But the silence of our happiness, who can describe that?
28098	But where be yer mother?"
28098	But ye got her up finally by the same path, did n''t ye?"
28098	Did Wild Bill recall his wayward past?
28098	Did he, having come so tantalizingly near, retrace his steps?
28098	Did n''t ye git a leetle''arnest in yer feelin''s, Bill, afore ye got to the top of the last ridge?"
28098	Did the Trapper at that brief moment visit his absent friend?
28098	Did the buck turn?

28098	Had the frosty air watered her eye?
28098	Has Nature knowledge?
28098	Have ye got it in the center of the lid?"
28098	How do ye feel, Bill, how do ye feel?"
28098	I say, Bill, what p''int will ye steer fur?"
28098	I say, had n''t you better get behind the wood- pile again?"
28098	Is it because we are so small, or, being small, are so inquisitive, that the Great Oracle of the blue remains so dumb when we cry?
28098	Is it best, I wonder?
28098	Is she conscious of the evil and the good among men, and has she a heart that saddens at their sorrow and rejoices in their joy?
28098	John Norton, are you ready?"
28098	Should she fire now?
28098	Suddenly the Trapper lifted himself on his couch, and, looking over toward his companion, said:--"Bill, did n''t ye hear the bells ring?"
28098	The buck would soon move; when he moved, which way would he move?
28098	Was it memory?
28098	Was it not white and clean and properly shaped, and would it not have been a tablecloth if it had n''t been a sheet?
28098	Was it work or vain waiting for happier fortunes that made her look so tired?
28098	Was she dreaming?
28098	Was that the same fireplace in front of whose cold and cheerless recess she had crouched the night before?
28098	Was this cabin the miserable hut she had left at daybreak?
28098	Was what she saw real, or was it only a fevered vision born of her weakness?
28098	Were the thoughts of the woman busy with sweet scenes of earlier days?
28098	What angel was it that followed her to her miserable couch, and stirred kindly feelings in her bosom?
28098	What bosom is without its little vanities?
28098	What higher praise could be bestowed?
28098	What if it should prove a failure?
28098	What if it was n''t done through, and should turn out pasty?
28098	What if she had made a miscalculation as to the amount of suet required,--a point upon which she had been somewhat confused?
28098	What if the raisins were not sufficiently distributed?
28098	What load have ye been draggin''through the woods?"
28098	What shall I do?
28098	What were Christmas and its cheer to them?
28098	What were gifts and giving, or who would spread for them a full table at which as guests of honor they might eat and be merry?
28098	Who could describe it?
28098	Who says the earth can not look as cold and forbidding as the human countenance?
28098	Who shall read the riddle, O man of whitened head, O woman whose life is but a memory, who shall read us the Trapper''s riddle, I say?
28098	Who shall read us the riddle of the ordering in this world?
28098	Why did it not prevent me from doing what I did and being what I was in my youth,--me, whose mother was an angel and whose father was a patriarch?
28098	Why do n''t ye come into the cabin, like a sensible man, ef ye be sober?
28098	Would he go from or come toward her?
28098	Would she get him, or would she lose him?
28098	[ Illustration:"Where be the ships?"]
28098	exclaimed the Trapper,"what''s this?"
28098	or were the half- frozen fingers unable to steady the cold barrel at the instant of its explosion?
28098	thou tuneful bell that ringeth on forever, friend at our feasts, and friend, too, let us call thee, at our burial, what music can equal thine?
28098	was it a tear of joy and gratitude that dimmed the clearness of its sight?
28098	what is it?"
28098	what shall I do?
28098	what_ will_ the poor woman say when she and her leetle uns git these warm garments on?
28098	ye do n''t mean to steer this sled with one toe, do ye, and that, too, the length of a rifle- barrel astarn?
21694	A long one?
21694	An''Skippin''Rabbit?
21694	An''how''s your little doll Skippin''Rabbit?
21694	And my brother''s horse?
21694	And now what does my father propose to do?
21694	Are you the child of the little pale- face whose name extends from the regions of snow to the lands of the hot sun?
21694	Ay? 21694 But Softswan has white blood in her veins,"he said;"and why does she sometimes speak in the language of the pale- face?"
21694	But tell me, where is your father just now?
21694	But what am I to do?
21694	But,continued the Indian,"you came to know it at last?"
21694	But,said he, after a few moments''vigorous knife- work,"what if I should try, an''fail?"
21694	Child,exclaimed the matron, while her countenance fell,"can the dove mate with the raven?
21694	Could you not creep out of camp as you crept in and warn him?
21694	Daddy,remonstrated Big Tim,"is not Softswan sittin''there at his marcy?"
21694	Did n''t I tell''ee,said Tim, with a low laugh,"that women was good at helpin''men in time o''war?
21694	Did the cry seem to be far off?
21694	Do n''t you think I might help you a bit?
21694	Does Eaglenose desire to hunt with his fathers in the happy hunting- grounds?
21694	Does Little Tim act on his own opinions?
21694	Does my brother know that we ride to death?
21694	Does my white father think he is going to die?
21694	Does not the skipping one know,he said earnestly,"that for many moons she has been as the sun in the sky to Eaglenose?
21694	Does not the young brave aspire to raising his voice in council?
21694	Does the chief suppose that the daughter of Little Tim can willingly enter the lodge of a Blackfoot?
21694	Does the fawn mate with the wolf?
21694	Has it ever been tried?
21694	Has not Moonlight told you?
21694	Has the pale- face preacher com''vis him?
21694	Has the skipping one,he said on one occasion,"brought with her the little man that jumps?"
21694	How much?
21694	I suppose he taught you to speak and act like the pale- faced squaws?
21694	Is Skipping Rabbit the child''s name?
21694	Is it far that my son wants me to go?
21694	Is it too much to ask the son of my old friend to let me know what his plans are? 21694 Is mother at home?"
21694	Is my horse at hand?
21694	Is she here with you?
21694	Is that_ her_--_the_ girl, you know?
21694	Is the preacher badly hurt?
21694	Is the young warrior afraid that Rushing River will kill and eat us?
21694	Is there not something in the great medicine- book that father speaks so much about which teaches that we should love our enemies?
21694	Little Tim will go with me?
21694	My son has carried you off from the camp of some enemy, I doubt not?
21694	No; why?
21694	Oh why, why you''s not come home, Big Tim?
21694	Skipping one,said the youth, after a brief pause,"what are your thoughts doing?"
21694	Var you goes?
21694	Was the father of Eaglenose a pale- face?
21694	Well, what will you_ try_ it for?
21694	Well, who does the skipping one except?
21694	What are the thoughts of Bounding Bull?
21694	What brings my sister?
21694	What could a man wish more?
21694	What does Brighteyes see?
21694	What is that you tell me?
21694	What may her name be?
21694	Where is the little one of that serpent Bounding Bull?
21694	Whitewing?
21694	Who invented it-- your husband?
21694	Who is the little one?
21694	Why is Moonlight glad?
21694	Will Leetil Tim go back with Lightheart to the horses and wait, while his brother remains here?
21694	Will the little buffalo follow its mother?
21694	Would the skipping one,said Eaglenose, with a sharp look,"like to have a hubsind?"
21694	Would there have been room for a jumping- jack too?
21694	Would you have refused to help me if you had known better?
21694	You wants to catch one alive?
21694	After a few minutes he resumed in a more confidential tone--"But I say, Whitewing, has it niver entered into your head to take to yourself a wife?
21694	After a prolonged silence Moonlight whispered--"Does Skipping Rabbit sleep?"
21694	Afterwards, when she began to think and talk of the Great Manitou, did not the Indian''s ears tingle and his heart burn?
21694	And does not Bounding Bull guard our wigwams?"
21694	And how shall we speak of the state of poor Whitewing''s feelings?
21694	Are you ready?"
21694	But how can we know what is possible unless we try?
21694	But of what use would it be?
21694	But tell me, little one, who art thou whom the Lord has sent to succour me?"
21694	But tell me, white father, are you not the preacher that my daddy and Whitewing used to know some twenty years agone?"
21694	But what about your plan with the Indians?"
21694	But what of Whitewing?
21694	But why remove it?"
21694	By the way, I wonder what keeps him out so long?
21694	Can that be possible, mother?"
21694	Could he be a foe to the approaching Indians, or one of them?
21694	Did I not say that I would make you change your looks?"
21694	Did he say where he meant to hunt when he went off this morning?"
21694	Did n''t I go tearin''after you neck and crop as if I was a boy o''sixteen, in the belief that I was helpin''ye in a love affair?"
21694	Do n''t''ee think it''s about time to look after_ her_?"
21694	Does Eaglenose want to play with him?"
21694	Does he ever kick his little squaw?
21694	Does he know that peace is_ impossible_?"
21694	Does the skipping one know Leetil Tim?"
21694	Eh?"
21694	Has Bounding Bull tried his best to bring them to reason?
21694	Has he never tried to assist you?"
21694	Have n''t ye got a notion o''some young woman in partikler?"
21694	If I were caught, would not the braves suspect something, and scour the country round?
21694	In this dilemma she put to herself the question,"Whom would Lightheart wish me to rescue?"
21694	Is he here?"
21694	Is he not the enemy of my tribe?"
21694	Is not my father here, and Whitewing?
21694	It is true that there are no men at our backs to help us, but is not Manitou behind us-- in front-- around?
21694	No?
21694	Now then"--aloud--"have ye anything more for me to do?"
21694	Now, you''ll be careful, soft one?"
21694	Oh why did he not shout to warn her?
21694	Reining up suddenly, he said--"What does my brother counsel?"
21694	Tell me, Softswan, have you never heard Whitewing and Little Tim speak of the pale- face missionary-- the Preacher, they used to call me?"
21694	The one was,"Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
21694	The soft one looked, but did not say,"Indeed, what is it?"
21694	They are not far distant from here, you say?"
21694	They have one heart-- why should they not have one wigwam?"
21694	Turning quickly to the old woman, she said--"Was that Rushing River?"
21694	We may think some of them dark, some even wrong, but--`Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?''"
21694	What cared Eaglenose for that?
21694	What does he mean by`_ her_''?"
21694	What does he rest his hope on?"
21694	What surety have we that he is not telling lies?
21694	When the skipping one laughed, did not the heart of Eaglenose jump?
21694	Where is he?"
21694	Who''d iver have thowt to see Whitewing shook off his balance like that?
21694	Why do n''t you speak?
21694	Why, then, does not Bounding Bull strike his ancient enemy?
21694	Why, what''s wrong wi''you?"
21694	Will you follow me?"
21694	Would you like to try''em again?"
21694	You have another child, I am told, besides Big Tim?"
21694	You wo n''t mind our leaving you for a bit?"
21694	and when she let drops fall from her stars, was not his heart heavy?
21694	did you see something move under the willow bush yonder?"
21694	goin''out alone, Little Tim?"
21694	has he failed?
21694	he exclaimed, hastening to the preacher''s side;"you_ have_ got here after all?"
21694	the rabbit with the wolf?"
21694	why ai n''t you more commoonicative?"
9649	A bully good day''s work, eh?
9649	A clog, was it?
9649	Ai n''t you g- g- goin''to h- h- help me?
9649	And from that you conclude what?
9649	And how about Ajax?
9649	And then after you missed him, Steve?
9649	And then?
9649	And time for grub, eh?
9649	And what message will I carry to the other boys?
9649	And what of that trap over there? 9649 And you did?"
9649	And, how about the heartless girl-- did you ever see her again, Uncle Jim?
9649	Any mink?
9649	Are all s- s- skunks s- s- striped like that one was?
9649	But I remember that you had a big clump of wood fixed to the end of the chain; what was that for?
9649	But there''s another use for the clog, is n''t there?
9649	But we ought to try and get one deer anyway, had n''t we?
9649	But what were you coming up here for?
9649	But whatever made him do such a silly thing?
9649	But why are you so careful about his health, Uncle Jim?
9649	But why wait for the dog?
9649	But you got the sly old mink, did n''t you?
9649	But, however did you come to take up such a queer profession in the beginning, Uncle Jim?
9649	But-- you do n''t mean to say you_ eat_ muskrats?
9649	C- c- course it is,Toby went on;"w- w- what''d you think m- m- made me run?
9649	Ca n''t one of you think up a way? 9649 Call that a big drop?
9649	Can bears climb trees?
9649	Can you tell if he''s there?
9649	Did you see me go over?
9649	Do I have to draw?
9649	Do I? 9649 Do mink really set themselves free that way?"
9649	Do you mean I was that excited I pulled both triggers at once?
9649	Four miles, you said, did n''t you?
9649	Gee, wonder now if we''d be lucky enough to set eyes on a silver fox worth a cool thousand or more?
9649	Got your compass, Max?
9649	H- h- how much d- d- did you g- g- get for it?
9649	Has n''t a lynx got some sort of mark about him that makes him look different from the ordinary bobcat?
9649	Have we gained on him?
9649	Hey, take a look at that shell, and this one, too, will you? 9649 How about it, Uncle Jim; am I kidding him?"
9649	How d''ye know that?
9649	How is it?
9649	How was that?
9649	I ai n''t used it just because there ai n''t been no chance yet, see? 9649 Is it the silver fox?"
9649	It''s heading north now, is it?
9649	Kick? 9649 Max, have n''t you got a plan?"
9649	Me eat rats?
9649	Not find the trap, do you say, Uncle Jim?
9649	Oh, did I?
9649	Oh, did n''t I tell you?
9649	Plague take that clumsy old bar, wo n''t it ever take hold? 9649 Pretty fine- looking buck, ai n''t he, Steve?"
9649	S- s- say, we had f- f- fish for s- s- supper last night, did n''t we?
9649	So you''re the pelt thief, Ed Whitcomb, are you?
9649	Sure they do,replied Steve;"ai n''t that so, Uncle Jim?"
9649	Then we''ll pick up the trail and follow it?
9649	Then what shall we do?
9649	Then you fired again, but so rapidly that you missed; was that it, Steve?
9649	Think it''ll be safe, do you?
9649	Think we could tote several hundred pounds four miles?
9649	Think we''ll get one, Max?
9649	W- w- want me to get s- s- smashed, d- d- don''t you?
9649	Was it a bobcat?
9649	Well, I did fire it a few times at a target, did n''t I, Max?
9649	Well, old''coons, they''ve got pretty sharp claws sometimes, ai n''t they, Don?
9649	What about the trap; will you set it again?
9649	What ails you?
9649	What ails''em?
9649	What are they good for?
9649	What d''ye suppose struck that boy?
9649	What d''ye think of it now, Steve?
9649	What d''ye want?
9649	What do you use it for, Uncle Jim?
9649	What if I do n''t kill him?
9649	What is?
9649	What makes you believe that, son?
9649	What makes you say that, Steve?
9649	What makes you so sure of that, Bandy- legs?
9649	What next?
9649	What was she to you, Ed Whitcomb?
9649	What''s a lynx?
9649	What''s happened?
9649	What''s that?
9649	What''s that?
9649	What''s the matter with you?
9649	What''s the matter?
9649	When do you think he was here, Uncle Jim?
9649	Where are you, Toby, old fellow?
9649	Where were the dogs when he went in?
9649	Where''d you get this, Ed Whitcomb?
9649	Where''ll I stand, Uncle Jim?
9649	Where''s a lantern? 9649 Whether we get him in a trap or shoot him on the run the bear steaks will taste just as good; wo n''t they, Uncle Jim?"
9649	Who saw him last?
9649	Who''s afraid?
9649	Why do n''t some of you lend a hand here?
9649	Why do you say''up North''?
9649	Why, yes, it was almost due south, was n''t it?
9649	Will the cat come back again, do you think?
9649	Will you leave it out there after this, Uncle Jim?
9649	With that pop gun of yours?
9649	Wonder if the moon ai n''t up long before now?
9649	Yes, that''s so,said Steve, smiling grimly,"I_ held_ him all right, did n''t I?
9649	Yes, what is it?
9649	Yes, what of Ajax?
9649	Yes,added Steve impetuously,"what are you all pulling such long faces for, just like it was a funeral or something; tell us that?"
9649	You chased him off, did n''t you?
9649	You did n''t blind the poor beast, I hope?
9649	You do n''t mean to tell me they use the skins for furs?
9649	You managed to get your tree after that, did n''t you, Steve?
9649	You mean because he''s quit trying to hide his trail?
9649	You mean it kicked, do n''t you, Steve?
9649	You turned back?
9649	Ai n''t they mad I fooled them, though?
9649	And shall we start for home now?"
9649	And when you''ve got your hand in, we''ll expect you to take care of the fuel business right along, see?"
9649	Bandy- legs continued;"but what''s the use of it?"
9649	But do you mean to yank the carcass up in a tree, Max?
9649	But it did the business all right, eh, boys?"
9649	But, however, are we going to coax him out of there, boys?"
9649	But, then, who could wholly depend upon such an excitable fellow?
9649	Did you notice, Steve, which way we headed at the time we first picked up the trail at the sprung trap?"
9649	Do you mean to let me claim a share in this thing, then?"
9649	Get my gun for me, ca n''t you, Bandy- legs?
9649	Hear that, boys?"
9649	How did that happen, Uncle Jim?"
9649	How''re you feeling, son?"
9649	If you''re on top it''s a precipice, and if you''re down below--""Listen to him holler, would you?"
9649	Is that the way you expect to use the rope?"
9649	It was"some tough,"as even the proud Steve admitted; but, then, what boy with a gnawing appetite ever bothered about such a small thing?
9649	Know why that black cross is on them?
9649	Listen to that, would you?"
9649	Max?"
9649	Max?"
9649	Reckon you know how to work the trombone action, do n''t you?"
9649	Run?
9649	So you thought they were wolves, did you, Steve?
9649	The best is always to come, eh, Max?"
9649	Think you could return without any trouble, my boy?"
9649	Was that the way it worked, Uncle Jim?"
9649	What can I look back to but a life that''s been wasted, so far as being useful to my fellowmen is concerned?
9649	What do you say about it, you old stutterer, Toby Jucklin?"
9649	What does an hour count for in that case, Steve?"
9649	What in the wide world is up?
9649	What were a few rabbits or squirrels in comparison with the company of these jolly, interesting boys?
9649	Who would be appointed to carry out this part of the programme?
9649	Why ca n''t you help a feller?"
9649	Would they ever forget the delights of that first meal under the roof of the forest cabin?
9649	exclaimed Bandy- legs;"why, whatever could happen to it?"
32465	A dog- team down river? 32465 And Julie, is she well?"
32465	And the dog, you did n''t have to eat your dog, Jean?
32465	And with one paddle you gained a day on them? 32465 Anything happened to the steamer?"
32465	Are the marks on these pelts as Marcel says?
32465	Are they in good shape? 32465 Are you crazee, Jean Marcel?"
32465	Beaver, eh? 32465 By the way, McCain, where are these remarkable Ungava pups which you say were sired by a timber wolf?"
32465	Come, Jean Marcel,she laughed, speaking to him, as always, in French,"are you not glad to see us that you wear a face so dismal?
32465	Could it be?
32465	Could you eat de dog dat save your life?
32465	De Husky t''ink we not go to Whale Riviere, eh?
32465	De dog gets her share of feesh, do you hear dat, Joe?
32465	Den I must have de rifle and de fur; ees dat eet?

32465	Dey say de fur and rifle was not dere?

32465	Fleur come back to Jean?
32465	Fleur, hungry? 32465 Fleur, you know we got onlee two day meat left?
32465	François, you have heard what Marcel says of the marks on these skins?
32465	French half- breeds, M''sieu Gillies, or Scotch?
32465	Have de Lelac traded dere fur, M''sieu?
32465	Have those two Mistassini strangers who went north in June, got back yet?
32465	Have you anything to say?
32465	Have you seen the dog?
32465	He ees cut bad?
32465	How about the previous reputation of Marcel and the character of the whole Lelac tribe? 32465 How ar''yuh, Gillies?"
32465	How did this happen, Jules? 32465 How do you mean, Father?"
32465	How do you recognize them?
32465	How ees she dis noon, M''sieu?
32465	How has the famine affected the fur with you, Gillies?
32465	How many long snows since de plague, Joe?
32465	How much feesh you got in dat cache?
32465	How you leeve my fr''en''on de Salmon, Kovik?
32465	I know,objected Wallace,"but to overpower our guards and kill them under our noses----""What of it?
32465	I suppose she''s too sick to see me?
32465	I was one day behind dem at Rupert Bay----"What, you''ve been to Rupert?
32465	Jean, when are you going back to the bush?
32465	Julie, what has been worrying you? 32465 Killed the prisoners?"
32465	M''sieu Gillies,the boy ignored the factor''s protest,"will you geeve me letter of credit for de Company posts?"
32465	No woman, you? 32465 Now, sir,"demanded the secretly delighted McCain,"do you believe she could kill a man?"
32465	Oh, Jean Marcel, why did you take such risks? 32465 Oh, Jules, is he badly hurt?"
32465	Père Henri; he is not ill?
32465	Rabbit, am I?
32465	She will be a good dog and obey Ma''m''selle Julie, who will feed her?
32465	So they tied her up and beat her, my Fleur? 32465 So you got a dog after all, Jean?
32465	So you steal my share of de meat and hide eet, before I go, eh? 32465 So you''re the son of André Marcel?
32465	Some day she keel de wolf, eh?
32465	Stabbed in the back? 32465 W''at you say, Jean; you go home tru de Windigo countree?"
32465	W''at you t''ink, Jean Marcel, you geeve dose feesh to de dog w''en we starve?
32465	W''at, you goin''leave us, Jean?
32465	W''en dey trade dere fur weel you hold it from de oder fur, separate?
32465	W''ere ees Joe?
32465	W''ere you get beaver, Jean?
32465	W''ere you''woman?
32465	Wat you say, Jean? 32465 We go back to de Ghost, Fleur, or mak''one beeg hunt for de deer?"
32465	Welcome back, Jean; you are going to Fort George instead of Baptiste?
32465	Well, well, how far did they take you, Jean? 32465 Well?"
32465	What are you going to do with all your credit? 32465 What did they do to you, Jules?"
32465	What do we care who started it? 32465 What do you mean, my son?
32465	What do you mean-- Monsieur Wallace?
32465	What do you mean? 32465 What do you mean?
32465	What do you mean? 32465 What do you mean?"
32465	What does he say?
32465	What is her name?
32465	What is it, Ma''m''selle Breton?
32465	What is it, McKenzie?
32465	What is the matter, Fleur? 32465 What is the matter, Julie?"
32465	What troubles you, Fleur?
32465	What''s that he says, Jules?
32465	What''s this I hear about a murder by one of your Frenchmen?
32465	What, M''sieu?
32465	What, start in the teeth of this? 32465 What,"cried McKenzie,"you came through in two days from Whale River?
32465	What? 32465 When did you leave Whale River?"
32465	When do you start?
32465	When, then, will they marry?
32465	Where did you get these rifles?
32465	Where ees de pain, Fleur? 32465 Where?"
32465	Which of them do you wish, Julie?
32465	Who started this affair, anyway?
32465	Whose rifles were they, Marcel?
32465	Why ca n''t we bring her in; let her see him and sniff his hand; it might quiet her?
32465	Why should I not thank you, Jean Marcel, who risked your life like a madman to help me? 32465 Why you come?
32465	Why you not put de bullet een dat oder t''ief, Jean?
32465	Why, because some half- breeds have brought a story to Whale River which was not true?
32465	Why, putting the previous reputation, here, of Marcel aside, if he had killed Beaulieu, would he have told us that Beaulieu was stabbed? 32465 Wo n''t you forget, Jean, and remain a friend-- a brother?"
32465	Yes, I wish to tell you all first, Father, before I go to the trade- house-- and Julie?
32465	You are back, well and strong? 32465 You are sad, mon ami; what has happened to the merry Jules?"
32465	You do not care for my thanks, Jean?
32465	You eat de dog, eh, Joe Piquet? 32465 You had all September to net fish, but what did you do?
32465	You hear dat?
32465	You heard it too, Fleur?
32465	You mean to tell me that you paddled from Whale River in fifteen days, after a dog?
32465	You must have found the caribou this spring?
32465	You not starve out, eh?
32465	You remember Joe Piquet, Fleur? 32465 You swear to these marks?"
32465	You t''ink you can mak''For''George een t''ree day?
32465	You''fraid to come on shore? 32465 You-- you geeve to me-- dese puppy?"
32465	_ Juste Ciel!_ Killed by Fleur after he stabbed Antoine?
32465	After the customary hug, Jean drew the big head man outside, demanding in French:"Is she here still?
32465	And Piquet, is he dead also?"
32465	And then the muscles of his lean face twisted with pain as he went on:"But who will there be to work for with Julie gone?"
32465	And you got your dogs?
32465	Are they fast, Jean?"
32465	As Jean shoved off the Lelacs''canoe, the half- breeds, as if at a preconcerted signal, shouted loudly:"W''at you do to us, Jean Marcel?
32465	Because of de freeze- up would he geeve hees pup to dose dog- stealer?
32465	But what did he do?
32465	But where was Fleur?
32465	But why had the doctor not told Père Breton, as well as Mrs. Gillies?
32465	But you will always be my friend, wo n''t you?"
32465	But, after all, what did it matter?
32465	Could it be, he wondered, could it be the deer at last?
32465	Did you have a fuss getting your dog?"
32465	Do n''t you know me, pup?"
32465	Do n''t you remember Jean Marcel?"
32465	Do you hear that, Gillies?"
32465	Do you miss Jean Marcel?"
32465	Do you think that we, your friends who know you, will permit this thing?
32465	Does she leeve?"
32465	Does that look like a guilty man?
32465	Does that prove what we''ve told you about him?"
32465	Eef I keel heem would I wait till spring to hide him under stones, as Lelac say?"
32465	Ees she dere?
32465	Has n''t that got any weight with you?
32465	Have n''t they tried to ruin Marcel?
32465	Have you good dogs?"
32465	Have you no eyes for the sunset the good God has given us?
32465	He knew his dog had not forgotten him-- would come home; but when?
32465	He was anxious to start back with his traps and meat; but where was Fleur?
32465	How, indeed, he asked himself, could he now aspire to the love of Julie Breton when so great a man chose to smile upon her?
32465	I ask you dat, M''sieu?"
32465	I hope I''m not late?"
32465	I ordered him to keep away from them, but did n''t he have sufficient cause to start-- anything?"
32465	If I had killed him would I not have hidden him somewhere in the snow where the starving lynx and wolverines would have done the rest?
32465	If the third man was alive, what were they to believe?
32465	Is he badly hurt?"
32465	Is it not becoming?
32465	Is it not so?"
32465	Is there one among you who trades there?"
32465	It must be a record for a single paddle; and all for a pup, eh?"
32465	Jean Marcel would be past aid and Fleur-- what would become of her?
32465	M''sieu Gillies, when do we start?"
32465	Must I tell you-- that I-- love-- Jean Marcel?"
32465	No dog?"
32465	No?
32465	None the worse for the long voyage, my son?"
32465	Raised on an elbow, Marcel sleepily asked:"What de trouble, Michel?
32465	Rushing into the trade- house the white- faced Wallace grasped Gillies''hand, hoarsely demanding:"Does she live, Gillies?"
32465	Seeing these things, what could anyone think?
32465	Should he ever see her again as Julie Breton?
32465	Since the ice went out someone who knew that the three men were wintering there, had travelled up the Ghost from the Whale, but why?
32465	Stole my Fleur-- my puppy?"
32465	Suddenly in his ears were hissed the words:"W''at you do wid dat dog?"
32465	Tell me, w''at ees eet?"
32465	That yellow warblers and friendly chickadees, from the spruces of the shore, hailed him as one of the elect, for was he not also a lover?
32465	The broad face of Kovik widened in a mysterious smile as he asked:"You geeve black fox for dog?"
32465	The terrible famine did not reach you?"
32465	Then he asked:"Is there at Fort George or East Main, no one who could help her?"
32465	Then he asked:"W''ere you dog?"
32465	Then he suddenly demanded of the factor:"What would my father, André Marcel, do eef he leeved?
32465	Then she noticed the bandages, and putting her hands to her face, moaned:"Jean Marcel, what have they done to you; what have they done to you?"
32465	Then with a shrug he said:"M''sieu Wallace weel wish to start to- night?
32465	They were not married at Christmas?
32465	W''at ees eet, Jules?
32465	W''at you smell, Fleur?"
32465	W''at you t''ink?"
32465	W''en dat go, Jean Marcel go too-- een few day, a week maybe; and Fleur, w''at she do?"
32465	W''ere you come?"
32465	Wallace''s eyes shifted to the floor as he ventured:"When did they get in?"
32465	Was he to find here more of the work of Joe Piquet?
32465	Was he to lose her, too, as well as Fleur?
32465	Was it to this that he had toiled down the coast in search of his dog-- a grave in the Harricanaw mud?
32465	Wat, you lak''eet bettair raw?
32465	Weel Mr. Hunter start wid me at midnight?"
32465	Were these sisterly tears of joy at his safe return or did she weep for the Jean Marcel she once knew, now dishonored?
32465	What could it be?
32465	What could it mean?
32465	What did you do with them?"
32465	What do you want for them?"
32465	When before has the great Jean Marcel feared pain?
32465	When did you leave East Main?"
32465	When did you sleep?"
32465	When do they marry?"
32465	Where did you come up with them?"
32465	Where is she?"
32465	Who killed Antoine Beaulieu, and where is Piquet?
32465	Who weel tak''dat dog out again?"
32465	Why ca n''t we handle this matter as we have handled it for two centuries?"
32465	Why do you stay away when Monsieur Wallace comes?"
32465	Why should anyone come to your camp and see it?
32465	Why you beat me wid de paddle?
32465	Why, did n''t Marcel tell you?"
32465	Will Fleur behave for Julie?"
32465	Wo n''t go south; why not?"
32465	Wo n''t you ever forgive me?
32465	Would they believe in the innocence of the man who alone of the three partners had fought free of the long famine?
32465	Would they have asked less of their own huskies?
32465	Yes, Whale River would anxiously await the return of Jean Marcel that spring, but would Whale River believe his story?
32465	You and Fleur hear de Windigo?"
32465	You fin''de Beeg Salmon headwater?
32465	You go wid me an''get some dog?"
32465	You had trouble with the Huskies?"
32465	You not hurt by dem?"
32465	You see de Windigo?"
32465	You trade dat dog?"
32465	You will forgive me?"
32465	You would not make yourself an outlaw?
32465	he said aloud,"will you remember Jean Marcel after all these weeks with them?"
32045	''Wot''s it to you?'' 32045 And foxes?"
32045	And how will yez have the murphies?
32045	And the catch since I''ve been away?
32045	And the trapping?
32045	Any signs of our friends, the enemy?
32045	Any signs of the bloody minded thaves in the Holler or on the short lines?
32045	Are de others back yet?
32045	Are we in on it?
32045	Are you going to sleep all day? 32045 But is it a fool law?
32045	But was it as cold as it is now?
32045	But, Pat, ca n''t we be in at the finish?
32045	Can one man build a log cabin without any help?
32045	Did I not tell ye thot whin I got the leaves out av me hair and the Irish out av me shpach I would come? 32045 Did n''t he have no tent nor nothin''?"
32045	Did yer pipe dere monikers? 32045 Did yez think the fire would feed itself?"
32045	Did you buy any liniment to go with them?
32045	Did you really find the camp?
32045	Did you telephone the hospital before we left?
32045	Do n''t you trap for bears at all?
32045	Do you mind what I told you had happened at the deer yard?
32045	Do you put it right on the trap or hang it over it?
32045	Do you suppose they will fight?
32045	Do youse mean dey really make a bed same as us?
32045	Ever hear of the passenger pigeon?
32045	For what?
32045	Gee, did n''t it seem good to hear the Big Chief''s voice again?
32045	Have n''t I labored all day? 32045 Have you deserted the old cabin?"
32045	He''d do somethin'', but what?
32045	How about a rabbit hunt in the morning, a big dinner and a shooting- match in the afternoon?
32045	How about bearskins? 32045 How about beaver?"
32045	How about it, Hal?
32045	How about me? 32045 How about otter?"
32045	How about you, Sparrer?
32045	How are you boys going back?
32045	How do you know that Big Jim made these tracks?
32045	How does the bear get caught?
32045	How in thunder are we going to?
32045	How many holes have you cut?
32045	How many of them are there?
32045	How''s Doctor Merriam?
32045	How''s that? 32045 How''s your tummy now?"
32045	How?
32045	If there''s any game like that afoot you can count us in, ca n''t they, fellows?
32045	Is a man who would attempt cold- blooded murder likely to come at a whistle like a good doggie? 32045 Is that all you''ve got for all that shooting I''ve heard?"
32045	It''s Walt and Harrison all right, but who in the dickens is that with them, and where did they find him?
32045	It''s marten that you are after mostly, is n''t it? 32045 Laddie,"said he, the soberness of his face belied by the twinkle in his eyes,"do ye no ken that a gun is like a fine lady?
32045	Laugh at me, will you?
32045	Liniment? 32045 Meaning what?"
32045	Money does talk, does n''t it, Pat?
32045	Nowhere near as plentiful as they used to be, are they?
32045	Oh, Dad, are you hurt?
32045	Pat, whose are these?
32045	Say, Pat, do you mean that there is a really, truly sure enough deer yard anywhere near here? 32045 Say, has n''t it been great?"
32045	Say, who hit me? 32045 Say,"drawled Sparrer scornfully,"do''youse tink we had nothing to do but to pick up a ton or two of scrap and lug it''round?"
32045	Say,drawled the warden,"is this a war party returning from a raid?"
32045	Shall we take rifles?
32045	Shall we turn in?
32045	Shure, was n''t I afther telling ye thot I be in Noo Yor- r- k?
32045	So you do n''t envy Hal?
32045	Spud? 32045 Tell me, how would ye like to pack three or four of those in addition to a lot of smaller traps for ten or fifteen miles?"
32045	Tell me, laddie, what is the charm ye carry?
32045	That was n''t the fellow that got you, was it?
32045	The man did n''t come to, and make any statement?
32045	Wha- wha- what?
32045	What about fish? 32045 What about steel traps?"
32045	What are we going to do this afternoon-- start scouting for those thieves?
32045	What did I tell you about keeping your cap down over your ears? 32045 What do you mean?"
32045	What do you say, little doctor?
32045	What do you think of the proposition, Pat?
32045	What does it weigh?
32045	What for?
32045	What is it, anyhow?
32045	What kind of Scouts are you, anyway, crying for help the first time you tumble in a little bit of snow?
32045	What makes''em worth so much? 32045 What was it?"
32045	What was that you hinted at when we first got here about signs of some one else in these diggings?
32045	What will de fellers say when we get back an''tell''em we been fightin''outlaws an''that Oi gets a knockout from a sure- enough Injun? 32045 What will that skin bring, Alec?"
32045	What you fellers doing?
32045	What you giving us? 32045 What''s a silver gray?"
32045	What''s a stretching board, and how do you use it?
32045	What''s that thing you''re whittling on?
32045	What''s that?
32045	What''s that?
32045	What''s the matter with a Christmas tree in the evening?
32045	What''s the matter with putting in a day with me and seeing how a logging camp is run? 32045 What''s the matter with us going on that hike?"
32045	What''s the next move?
32045	What''s the storehouse? 32045 What''s the use?"
32045	What? 32045 What?"
32045	When a fellow''s in the seventh heaven what do you try to bring him down to earth again for?
32045	When and where did you get him?
32045	Where did you find him?
32045	Where did you get them?
32045	Where does the bait go?
32045	Where is he?
32045	Where lives the Scout, by difficulties pressed, Who will admit a chicken heart possessed? 32045 Where''s de yard?"
32045	Which is the most valuable?
32045	Who''s crying for help?
32045	Who''s your partner? 32045 Why did n''t you tell us you had venison, so that the thought of it would have helped us up that pesky hill?"
32045	Why not?
32045	Why, what''s the matter with the gun?
32045	Why?
32045	Will he shoot, do you think, if we rush the cabin?
32045	Will ye tell me how iver ye got thot wan rabbit wid a gun the loikes av thot?
32045	Will you? 32045 Wot youse doing that for?"
32045	Would you hit a man who was bound and helpless?
32045	You give Injun gun and all his things and let go if he tell something?
32045	You''ve seen muskrat houses a- plenty, have n''t you?
32045	''Wot do yer tink Oi am to fall fer a steer loike dat?
32045	A shadow of his old- time impudent grin flashed across Sparrer''s face as he replied,"What luck wud ye be expecting with a tenderfoot loike me?"
32045	Aloud he said,"What do youse want of it, if it''s no good and youse ca n''t sell it?"
32045	And then?
32045	And was n''t the fox his?
32045	Any of that bear- steak left, Alec?"
32045	Are all of''em like this?"
32045	Are you game to try the hill?"
32045	Are you hurt or have you had a fright?
32045	Are you really in New York?
32045	Are you sure you want to?"
32045	But tell me, son, why all this hilarity that led to the utter downfall of the house of Upton?
32045	But was that any reason why he should not profit by it?
32045	But what happened to you?"
32045	But when did you get this fellow, and why have you kept so mum about it?"
32045	But would it be honorable?
32045	By the way, what''s a cross fox?"
32045	CHAPTER XII A DEER YARD"Would you fellows like to visit a deer yard?"
32045	Chef?"
32045	Could he go back to his companions and tell them freely and openly what he had done?
32045	Could he regard himself in the future us trustworthy or as loyal to his friends?
32045	Could it be that one of the thieves was reconnoitering the Hollow?
32045	Could this be some work of the strange little animals of which he had never heard?
32045	Could this be the work of the beavers?
32045	Did Big Jim say anything about a silver fox when he was here?"
32045	Did ye no hear me shouting?"
32045	Did you trap him, Pat, or is he part of the spoils of war?"
32045	Dinna ye know that all skins have to be stretched?"
32045	Do n''t you remember that Pat told us that first night in New York that Alec was trapping, and the last he heard of him he was over in the Hollow?
32045	Do n''t you think I''m some little trapper?"
32045	Do we take guns?"
32045	Do ye think I would be frying bacon in the middle of the night for a joke?
32045	Do yez play all night and slape all day in Noo Yor- r- k?"
32045	Do you always get up before daylight in the woods, Pat?"
32045	Do you mean to say that you are going to send that skin to Spud Ely?"
32045	Had Edward Muldoon, Boy Scout, won over Sparrer Muldoon, street gamin, only to lose in the end?
32045	Had n''t it been free and wild, belonging to nobody, and had n''t he waited and watched and with steady hands and a true eye made a clean kill?
32045	Have to get up a few times in the night to put wood on the fire, but that ai n''t nothin'', is it, Pat?"
32045	Have ye not learned thot ye can make but wan bull''s- eye at a shot?
32045	Have you looked over that price list I brought in, Alec?"
32045	He looked up as the click- clack of snow- shoes caught his attention and seeing that it was Sparrer called cheerily,"What luck?"
32045	How about you, Walt?"
32045	How are your legs?"
32045	How ever did Hal lure that young giant out of his beloved woods?"
32045	How is that broken leg, and what is he doing?
32045	How many have you?"
32045	How''s the old nut feel anyway, Sparrer?"
32045	I suppose you''re still leader of the Bull Moose, Pat?"
32045	I wonder will it ever----"Say, who swiped one of my socks?
32045	Is he living up to all those good resolutions he made?"
32045	Is it because the fur is so extra fine?"
32045	Is that for Spud?
32045	Is that perfectly clear?"
32045	Looked pretty bad for Alec for a while, did n''t it?
32045	Now the question is, what are we going to do to get back Sparrer''s property?
32045	Now then, which of you is the leader?"
32045	Now what are you fellows going to do with me in Noo Yor- r- k?"
32045	Now when do I see you and where?"
32045	Now, Pat, what are your plans?
32045	On the level, Alec, do you think it a square deal to take a rat in the only place he''s got to stay in the winter?"
32045	Only fifteen dollars for that big skin?"
32045	Pat who?"
32045	Pat, did any of your party see the thing happen?"
32045	Pwhat iver would the wor- rld do widout the Irish?
32045	Same old Pat, is n''t he?
32045	Say, got any plans made for your vacation?"
32045	Should he remain where he was, or should he move on?
32045	Should he turn back on the chance that he would jump the animal somewhere on the way and get a running shot?
32045	Shure''tis not I that was, and yet if I be not I that was, who be I that I be?"
32045	So with all these great and wonderful men and women constantly about me how can I ever be lonely?
32045	Tell me now, do ye want to foight?
32045	Then I suspect Alec will build one or two more, eh, Alec?"
32045	Then as he lovingly fingered a long desired book sent in by Doctor Merriam he added:"But when did you think of the tree idea?
32045	Then he noticed the pale face of the younger lad, and dropping his axe he sprang forward,"Say, boy, what''s happened?"
32045	Then, a sudden light breaking over him, he added,"Did you expect to find a fence around it, son?"
32045	Think you can do it?"
32045	Upton?"
32045	Upton?"
32045	Was it in New York?"
32045	Was not a Scout supposed to be prepared for all emergencies, and what was this but a form of emergency?
32045	Was that car right where it is now when you first saw it?"
32045	Well, is there anything to beat this in New York?"
32045	What about those stretching boards?"
32045	What about to- morrow?
32045	What are the plans for the rest of my stay here?"
32045	What are the woods like now?"
32045	What are they, anyhow?"
32045	What are you going to do with him now that you''ve got him?"
32045	What are you rubbing your legs for, Sparrer?"
32045	What did he do it with-- a file?
32045	What did it mean?
32045	What do you say if we spend the rest of the afternoon showing Pat around the park?
32045	What do you say, Alec?"
32045	What do you say, Jim?"
32045	What do you say, Walt, to doing it anyway?"
32045	What do you say?"
32045	What do you think that feller Ely will say when he gits that skin?"
32045	What do you think?
32045	What for?"
32045	What had happened?
32045	What have you been doing at that prep school-- confabulating with the profs or flirting with the dictionary?
32045	What if he could get him?
32045	What in the dickens were you up for?"
32045	What now would ye be thinking it would be bringing me from a fur buyer this minute?"
32045	What should he do now?
32045	What was the trouble?
32045	What white boy do with him?"
32045	What would Pat do were he in his place?
32045	What''s Jim doing and how is he?"
32045	What''s the program, Pat?"
32045	What''s up?
32045	What''s your idea, Alec?"
32045	When did you get in?
32045	When do you start in for camp?
32045	Where are they now?"
32045	Where are you?
32045	Where did you find him, and why did n''t you tell me?
32045	Where was he?
32045	White magic, did yez call ut?
32045	Why did n''t I guess it before?
32045	Why did n''t you tell us you had that nasty lump, you young spalpeen?
32045	Why mention the black fox?
32045	Why not cache it and pick it up on his way back?
32045	Why say a word about it?
32045	Why should he not do as he pleased with it?
32045	Why tell of his experience at all?
32045	Will there be a chance to do some fishing through the ice?"
32045	Will you fellows have baking- powder biscuit or corn bread for supper?"
32045	Will you have some or will you wait for supper?"
32045	Wo n''t it be great?
32045	Would he apply to their management the principles of which as a Scout he was now so earnest a champion?
32045	Would he be either mentally awake or morally strong if he yielded to this temptation?
32045	Would he discover anything, or had he been wrought up to such a pitch over nothing?
32045	Would he give up?
32045	Would he succeed?
32045	You mind what I told you about Sparrer''s findin''those traps at the beaver- pond?
32045	Youse has been on de level wid me, now hand it ter me straight-- wot''s de game?''
32045	where did he stay nights when he was looking it over?"
45690	All right,said Jack;"I''ll go you; but we have n''t time to set the traps to- night, have we?"
45690	And what is a dead- fall?
45690	Are they just like the plains buffalo, Hugh?
45690	Are those beavers?
45690	Are those horses coming?
45690	Are you going to take a tent with you, Hugh?
45690	Are you willing to lend a hand to skin this bear?
45690	But how long will it take to build it?
45690	But what is this queer, half- bitter taste that it has, Hugh?
45690	But why do n''t those old logs that you were speaking about, rot and disappear?
45690	But, Hugh,Mr. Sturgis went on,"what''s the shortest way to get there; and how would you go?"
45690	But, is not the work very hard?
45690	By the way, Hugh,said Jack,"how much grub will we want to take with us?
45690	Could n''t find any birch?
45690	Did n''t you ever, back East, see a dog get between a woodchuck and his hole? 45690 Did you ever see one opened?"
45690	Did you fire that shot, my boy?
45690	Did you have any trouble with your traps, Hugh?
45690	Do rabbits ever have horns? 45690 Do you know, son,"he went on,"what the best thing in the world is to drag, if you want to make a trail around a trap to bring a bear to it?"
45690	Ever eat any in spring time?
45690	Get it?
45690	Good- evening,said Hugh,"wo n''t you light down and sit?"
45690	Great show, is n''t it, Henry?
45690	Have you any idea, Hugh, about what time the bears come here?
45690	Have you men just come from Rock Creek?
45690	He''s fat and in fine condition, is n''t he, Hugh? 45690 How came it you did n''t stop her with your first shot, son?"
45690	How do you mean ca n''t follow us, Hugh?
45690	How do you mean, Hugh? 45690 How do you mean, Hugh?"
45690	How is it, Hugh,he said,"that geese are found here as late in the season as this?
45690	How many packs do you intend to take, Hugh?
45690	How many young ones do the beaver have?
45690	How?
45690	Hugh,he went on, after a pause,"the Indians must have a great many beliefs and stories about birds and animals, have n''t they?
45690	Hugh,said Jack,"you told me to hang the beaver skin where the animals could not get at it, but what about that bear skin out there?
45690	I am sure I do n''t know, Hugh; what is it?
45690	I got my knowledge about that from the books, but I guess the books do n''t know everything?
45690	I say,he said,"do you live out here?"
45690	I suppose you have no more idea than I have how the fire got started?
45690	I suppose, Hugh, there is no great chance of our being able to shoot any of these animals while we are hunting?
45690	I''ll allow,answered Hugh,"that the geese ought to be on their breeding grounds by this time, but why do you say they ought to be up north?"
45690	I''ve asked that question, too,said Hugh,"and this is what old Saiyeh told me--""Saiyeh-- that''s Mad Wolf, is n''t it, Hugh?"
45690	In that case we ought to start just as soon as we possibly can, ought n''t we?
45690	Is there any other fur there?
45690	It does look fairly ship- shape, does n''t it?
45690	It goes better to- day, son, does n''t it?
45690	It will be quite a job, wo n''t it, Hugh?
45690	It''s a bully good camping place, is n''t it?
45690	It''s got the same old number four in it, has n''t it?
45690	Looks that way, does n''t it?
45690	More than you bargained for, eh, son?
45690	No use to think of hunting there, is there, Hugh?
45690	No,said Henry,"I do n''t think they would; but is there any danger?"
45690	No,said Hugh,"I had better do this part of the business myself, but do n''t you see these riggings have got to be fitted to the animals?
45690	No,said Jack,"that''s so, but I do n''t know enough to make those breast bands and breeching to help you, do I?"
45690	No,said Jack,"what is it?"
45690	Now tell me, Hugh, how do we go from here down into North Park?
45690	Now, Hugh,said Jack,"what do you think about our summer''s trip?
45690	Of course, Hugh, I understand, and I''m glad that you speak to me like this about it; but what do you mean by''a hog under an acorn tree''?
45690	Our skinning knives, Hugh?
45690	Tell me, Hugh,he added after a pause,"what other fur may we expect to see here?"
45690	That was a wonderful knife Mr. Clifford had, was n''t it, Hugh?
45690	Then you got the other cub, did you, Hugh?
45690	Then you think it was a cub that climbed up this tree?
45690	Then, when you get into the high mountains,said Mr. Sturgis,"you think you can get some beaver, do you?"
45690	There, son,he said,"do you see the philosophy of it now?
45690	There,said Hugh,"do you see that fur that grows next to the skin?
45690	Those fellows that have the big horns? 45690 Tired to- night, son?"
45690	Was n''t that a pretty sight, Hugh?
45690	Well, Hugh,said Jack,"what about trapping wolves?
45690	Well, Hugh,said Jack,"what are we going to do to- day?
45690	Well, Hugh,said Jack,"what particular place did you think of going to?"
45690	Well, I do n''t know,said Hugh;"there must be at least one; he makes plenty of noise, does n''t he?"
45690	Well, Jack,said Mr. Sturgis, as they sat at the table,"have you and Hugh had a consultation yet over what you are going to do?"
45690	Well, after that, Hugh, I expect those men had more respect for your advice, did n''t they?
45690	Well, how long ago were those mountains burned over?
45690	Well, son, what luck?
45690	Well, son,said Hugh, when the job of stretching the hide and shading it was ended,"do you feel pretty wolfish?"
45690	Well, where do they live?
45690	Well, why did you make that long ride?
45690	Well,asked Jack,"what''s the matter with trying them to- morrow morning before we got to the traps?"
45690	Well,said Hugh,"is that what you shot at?
45690	Well,said Hugh,"that little cuss rather played it on us, did n''t he?
45690	Well,said Hugh,"why do n''t you take him out and give him a lesson in shooting?"
45690	Well,said Jack to himself,"what sort of fools do these people think we are?
45690	Well,said Jack,"is there any reason why we should not start to- morrow?"
45690	Well,said Jack,"what do you suppose they do that for?
45690	Well,said Jack,"what do you want me to do?
45690	Well,said Jack,"what''s the matter with hunting him up and finding out?"
45690	Well,said Jack,"where do you want to hunt, and what are you going to hunt when you ca n''t see much more than arm''s length ahead of you?
45690	Well,said Jack,"you''ve worked pretty fast, Hugh, have n''t you?
45690	Well,said Mr. Sturgis,"when can you get ready to start?"
45690	Were there two calves with them?
45690	Were you ever snow blind?
45690	What animals are there, Hugh, that kill the beaver? 45690 What are they, Hugh?"
45690	What are those?
45690	What are you going to do to- day, Hugh?
45690	What are you going to do, Hugh?
45690	What became of the cubs, Hugh?
45690	What did the bob- cat do when the beaver dived, Hugh?
45690	What do you mean, Hugh?
45690	What do you mean?
45690	What do you suppose it was they saw, Hugh?
45690	What do you think about it, Jack?
45690	What is it, Hugh?
45690	What is the fisher, Hugh?
45690	What is this bird you call a rail, son?
45690	What sort of a gun is yours?
45690	What was the matter?
45690	What''s the Michigan, Hugh-- a place or a stream?
45690	When was that, Hugh?
45690	Where are you going now?
45690	Where are you going to look for that antelope, Hugh?
45690	Where do you mean, Hugh,said Mr. Sturgis,"down in the Parks of Colorado?"
45690	Where is he?
45690	Where was that, Hugh?
45690	Which do you think would be better, Hugh?
45690	Why is it, Hugh, that there are no trout in the Platte River?
45690	Why is that, Hugh?
45690	Why, Hugh,said Jack,"have you seen any sign?"
45690	Why, how''s that, Hugh? 45690 Why, yes, Hugh, that does seem queer; but where do the trout come from that are in the other Rocky Mountain streams?
45690	Why, yes,said Jack,"we can go on, but where do you want to go?"
45690	Why, you are pretty nearly what they call an''old timer''out here, are n''t you? 45690 Why,"said Jack,"did n''t you notice that she saw us and moved just as I fired?"
45690	Why,said Jack,"do n''t you know the wild mountain sheep?"
45690	Would you mind if I tried to help you?
45690	Yes,Jack went on,"I suppose they are, but is that what is going to happen to all the wild animals and birds in this country?
45690	Yes,assented Jack,"it does, of course; and what tremendous coats these horses get in this country, do n''t they?"
45690	You catch them with dead- falls, do you, Hugh?
45690	You did, eh?
45690	You do n''t have the name of Whiskey Jack for these birds out here, do you, Hugh?
45690	You have n''t wasted any time, have you? 45690 Your medicine, Hugh,"asked Jack,"what is that?"
45690	A lively place, is n''t it?"
45690	After a while Henry seemed to tire of this inaction, and said to Jack,"What are we going to do, Jack?
45690	After the talk had a little quieted down, and supper was being cooked for the boys, Jack asked Hugh,"Where does this meat come from, Hugh?"
45690	Are there other animals, the meat of which is affected by the touching of the hide?"
45690	Are they hard to catch, or is it not much trouble to catch young wolves?"
45690	Are they not worth trapping?
45690	As the two started on Jack looked at the sun and asked,"Do you know what time it is, Hugh?"
45690	As they were at work removing the animal''s entrails, Jack said,"Now, what shall we try to carry back?"
45690	At last he spoke to Hugh about it, and said,"How many of those coyotes do you think there are yelling out there, Hugh?"
45690	CHAPTER VII A TALK ABOUT BEAVER"Well, now, Hugh,"asked Jack,"what can you tell me about beaver trapping?"
45690	Ca n''t we go on?"
45690	Can you tell me if we''ll do that, because unless we do we better get back down onto the flat and hunt some other way across the mountains?"
45690	Clifford?"
45690	Could she have touched the bait and then jumped back while the log was falling?"
45690	Curious thing, is n''t it, son, that these little fawns do n''t give out any scent?"
45690	Did n''t you ever hear of that before?"
45690	Did you ever see a muskrat house back East?"
45690	Did you ever see anything like it?"
45690	Did you see more than the one as we came up, son?"
45690	Do n''t you know that is what the beaver feed on, and, of course, the flesh tastes of it?
45690	Do n''t you see there in that dam some green leaves sticking up?
45690	Do they store up food in that way and go back to it when they are hungry?"
45690	Do you expect to see any Indians, Hugh?"
45690	Do you know what sort of an axman Jones is?"
45690	Do you mind coming along?"
45690	Do you remember, Hugh, how crazy I was to go off on a war party with Joe and Bull Calf and some of that outfit, one summer up with the Piegans?"
45690	Do you want to take any of this meat along?
45690	Got everything ready?"
45690	Have n''t I ever told you about that wolf that Billy Collins killed three or four years ago at the ranch?"
45690	Have n''t you noticed something like smoke off to the west?
45690	Have you ever looked carefully at these dams?"
45690	Have you seen any of the Indians?"
45690	Have you thought of what you want to do?"
45690	Have you tried it at a target?"
45690	He put the shell in his pocket, and then asked,"Which way was your gun pointed?"
45690	How are you getting on on your side?"
45690	How are you going to know when you get an egg back East what bird it belongs to?"
45690	How did you get him?"
45690	How long are you going to be here?"
45690	How was he hit, Hugh?"
45690	I believe the best thing for us to do is to take up these traps, skin these bears and whatever beaver we get, and then to move along?"
45690	I expect if we put a lash rope over them and pull pretty hard it will smash some of the eggs, wo n''t it?"
45690	I guess you are ready for supper, are n''t you, son?"
45690	I reckon I told you that I had shod both of them, did n''t I, when you said that you wanted me to go in for Jack?"
45690	I told Mrs. Carter that we would be gone for a couple of months; was that right?"
45690	I wonder if I could learn how to do it?"
45690	If we can get up pretty high we may see a sheep or possibly a bull elk, and I guess you''d like a shot at either one, would n''t you?"
45690	Is it so that the beaver will gnaw their feet off to get out of a trap?"
45690	Is n''t that so, Hugh?"
45690	Is that the same creature that the books speak of as the black cat?"
45690	Is there anything we can do for you?"
45690	Is there time enough for us to go down there now?"
45690	It was pretty hard hauling this afternoon, was n''t it?"
45690	It''s a great secret how it''s made, is n''t it, Hugh?
45690	It''s almost the whole width of the continent, is it not?
45690	Jack called back,"Did you hear that, Hugh?
45690	Jack touched Hugh, and when he bent down his head, whispered to him,"Could n''t we crawl up a little closer and watch them?"
45690	Johnson?"
45690	Just as Jack started out with Pawnee, to take him to the barn, Hugh passed by and said,"Does he know you, son?"
45690	May not some of the animals trouble that to- night?"
45690	Now what do you think the Indians up north say about these birds?"
45690	Now, shall I sit here and skin this bear, and leave you to go and pick up the traps, or will you skin the bear and let me go for the traps?"
45690	Now, what do you think?
45690	Of course, it may be a duck, but may it not be a beaver?"
45690	Shall we move, or shall we stop here one more night?"
45690	Suppose I had started from the ranch to trap beaver, and had come down here without any traps, what would you have thought of me?"
45690	Suppose my hand had been a heavy log and that it had fallen across the body of a mink, would n''t it have killed him?"
45690	That seems to me about the nicest trip one could make without going off far; what do you say to it?"
45690	That would mean, I suppose, weighing three or four hundred pounds, would n''t it?"
45690	They do n''t imagine that we are going to leave a good safe place like this and start off over the prairie, do they?"
45690	They''ll think that they''re right in it, wo n''t they; that they''re real old trappers?"
45690	We are learning a great deal in these last two or three days, are we not, Henry?"
45690	What are you going to do?"
45690	What did you see, Hugh?"
45690	What do they call it?"
45690	What do you know yourself about these people?
45690	What do you think?"
45690	What do you think?"
45690	What is a mastodon?"
45690	What is that swimming?
45690	What was it?"
45690	What was it?"
45690	What''s become of them all?"
45690	What''s that you''ve got-- a piece of antelope meat and a lion?"
45690	When Hugh had finished his pipe Jack said,"What shall we do this afternoon, Hugh?
45690	When he got back to camp, Hugh said to him,"Do you know, son, that last antelope you killed is pretty nearly gone?
45690	When they were in the saddle, Jack said to Hugh,"Did you see anything of my buck?"
45690	Where did you learn?"
45690	Where do you suppose you could take Jack this summer so as to give him a good time?
45690	Where do you think it is?"
45690	Where is your father?"
45690	Where were you on the road when it began to snow?"
45690	Why will you not come, Mr. Johnson, and teach me while Jack teaches my boy?"
45690	Wo n''t it be, or did you ever eat beaver when you were with the Blackfeet?"
45690	Would n''t mink go into a trap baited with beaver meat?"
45690	You have seen elephants, have n''t you?"
45690	You mean bighorns?"
45690	You say all they know about him is that they found his bones?"
45690	You see that little knoll over there on the prairie?
45690	and a thousand or fifteen hundred miles north and south?"
45690	asked Jack,"or are they different?"
45690	said Jack;"real horns, you mean, growing out of the head like an antelope''s horns or a cow''s horns?"
7087	''But_ you_, it seems, are not observing the theory about which you are so positive?'' 7087 ''Carvil,''said he,''did you know that we students were committing treason against the great laws of life which God has laid down for us?''
7087	A bee? 7087 Ai n''t he, now?"
7087	And also much valuable knowledge?
7087	And are you not a- going to try them?
7087	And it would be a hard and heavy month''s job for you and the young man to do it, would it not?
7087	And what do_ I_ care for that? 7087 And who had a better right?
7087	And why not?
7087	And would not an occasional excursion in_ this_ direction be as pleasant as any other?
7087	And you think hundreds well spent, when you are wanting thousands to pay your debts, do you?
7087	And you, Codman?
7087	And you, Fluella?
7087	Are the family there, now?
7087	Are you familiar with the place where you think he lies concealed?
7087	Are you sure of that?
7087	Ask that man,he added, pointing to Carvil, whom he appeared to have previously recognized,--"ask him, if me do thing like that?"
7087	Bark will not peel well at this season, will it?
7087	But are they often thus dangerous?
7087	But do you know where we are, and where driving at this tremendous speed?
7087	But do you think he can yet be overtaken, and arrested?
7087	But how are we to get the bark covering?
7087	But how came she by those neatly- turned English features, and that clear, white complexion?
7087	But how can I provision such a company on so short notice?
7087	But how in cloudy weather?
7087	But how you help there?
7087	But how,asked Claud,"could stranger Indians, whom I encountered, know to whom it was given, or that I did not find, buy, or steal the article?"
7087	But is there no hope?
7087	But the main part of his property,demanded the other, with a startled look,"you do n''t mean but what the main part of his property is still left?"
7087	But the oars?
7087	But the young man,he resumed after a thoughtful pause,"would know more of the history of the Red Men who once held the country as their own?
7087	But what is the young tree with which you have coupled it?
7087	But where does this good and generous white father live, and what is his name?
7087	But where is Tomah, the Indian?
7087	But where is their house?
7087	But who is the man, and where, who is going to give the young man such a property?
7087	But why did you suppose so?
7087	But why do you ask such a question?
7087	But will he not come down, to escape in his boat, to- night?
7087	But you did not learn to read in the wigwam, Fluella?
7087	But you do n''t propose to go alone?
7087	But, Mark,he added, after a pause,"Mark, what will this useless parade here to- night cost you?"
7087	But, for all that, he is a good fellow enough at the bottom, if you can ever find it: ai n''t all that so, Jonas?
7087	But, to do all this, you must have risen long before day; how did you contrive to wake up?
7087	Can any of you handily get at your pork, so as to cut off and throw me a small bit? 7087 Can it endanger our buildings?"
7087	Claud?
7087	Corn meal?
7087	Crow?
7087	Did you afterwards see and identify him in this region?
7087	Did you ever have the Canada leader I have spoken of pointed out to you, previous to the outbreak?
7087	Do you know you are under oath, sir? 7087 Do you see and hear that?"
7087	Do you tell that story when you have my last dollar in your pocket? 7087 Double?"
7087	Earlier? 7087 Elwood?
7087	Have you no word to leave for my husband when he comes?
7087	Have you not yet seen my husband?
7087	Have you witnesses to introduce on the part of the defence?
7087	He can not have been killed, so soon, can he?
7087	He did?
7087	How are we to put in and wait for bites, without stopping, I would like to know?
7087	How can that be done?
7087	How can this be?--what does it mean?
7087	How could it have happened?
7087	How did you know I had killed a''coon?
7087	How did you make the discovery?
7087	How did you suppose I did it? 7087 How did you tame him to be so manageable?"
7087	How far do you calculate the nearest shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence is from here?
7087	How is that, Avis?
7087	How?--what have you heard?
7087	Hurra for the arrival of the good ship Brag, Phillips, master; but where is his black duck, with a big trout to its foot? 7087 I came, gentlefolks,"said the hunter, after a few commonplace remarks had been exchanged,--"I came to see if you know what a''bee''means?"
7087	I did n''t take you so: could that be all you intended?
7087	I hope so,said the sheriff;"but can he be taken to- night?"
7087	I may have heard of the custom; but why do you say you came to ask me if I know any thing about it?
7087	I see; but have you made no discoveries?
7087	I? 7087 If he should, and_ you_ should command me"--"Command?
7087	In the city and not return?
7087	Innocent, hey? 7087 Innocent?"
7087	Is not, then, all I have stated true; and is not the prisoner, here, the man?
7087	Is that so, Gaut?
7087	Is there no hope,she repeated, with a sigh,"that this impending calamity may in some part be averted?
7087	Is there no way of raising help?
7087	It is a fine fat one, ai n''t it?
7087	It is possible I should, in such a case,replied Claud, looking surprised and puzzled;"but,''suspected,''did you say?
7087	Know about him?
7087	Mine, mother? 7087 Moose- killer, is this you?"
7087	No caps, packs, or bunches of furs washed up anywhere?
7087	No? 7087 O, I should,"said Mrs. Elwood,"if I was entitled to any such present; but what have I ever done to deserve it of you?
7087	O, where is Claud? 7087 Persevere?
7087	See what, sir?
7087	So that, then, is the best fruit you can show of my first lesson in hunting, is it, young man?
7087	So the story is voted gospel, is it?
7087	Stole it?
7087	Supposing I do, you would not have me leave home to- night, would you?
7087	The name? 7087 The woman?
7087	Then there_ are_ two that_ have_ known you? 7087 Then you consider the lightning more especially the instrument of Heaven than the wind, fire, and other elements, do you?"
7087	Then you supposed it was one of your rough visitors I fired at, and missed? 7087 Then you take this as an indication of the approach of winter weather?"
7087	There is no danger that the fire will spread, or be blown to the buildings, is there?
7087	There may be something in this conception,said Lucifer, thoughtfully, after the speaker had closed;"but is it safe against all contingencies?
7087	This, I suppose, is the far- famed moose?
7087	True, the little finger was accidentally cut clean off by an axe, when I was a child; but what has that to do with the question?
7087	True; but ca n''t we get a clue from something else about the place? 7087 Well, sir, with that view of the case, in which I am inclined to concur, what do you propose now?"
7087	Well, supposing it is night?
7087	Well, then,resumed the sheriff, thoughtfully,"what course do you think he will take, and where secrete himself, so that he can be found?
7087	Well, what luck?
7087	Well, what now, Gaut?
7087	What are these ladies''names? 7087 What could have brought her here so far into the woods?"
7087	What could it mean?
7087	What did you think you heard, Claud?
7087	What do_ you_ know about my client, whom you are all conspiring to ruin?
7087	What does mother mean?
7087	What engagement?
7087	What in the name of Tophet does all this mean?
7087	What is it, as_ you_ read it?
7087	What is that rising from the shingles up there near the top of the roof?
7087	What is that, Gaut?
7087	What is the whole distance?
7087	What is there in my course toward them, since they came here, that you ca n''t understand?
7087	What luck to- day, young man?
7087	What makes you so confident?
7087	What movements do you mean, woman?
7087	What news?
7087	What shall be done, then?
7087	What shall we find there?
7087	What sort of a place is it, and how many ways are there to reach it or to escape from it?
7087	What stronger reasons, or what other reasons at all?
7087	What was that?
7087	What was the other part?
7087	What, leave off with such luck?
7087	Where away, as the sailors have it?
7087	Where did you catch him?
7087	Where is she? 7087 Where, where is she?"
7087	Where? 7087 Where?"
7087	Who can it be?
7087	Who can that be, I should like to know?
7087	Who do you mean?
7087	Who is she? 7087 Why do n''t you pull him in?"
7087	Why not, sir?
7087	Why not?
7087	Why so, pray?
7087	Why, have n''t you seen him? 7087 Without asking?
7087	Wondrous conclusive, a''n''t it? 7087 Would n''t my good friends, here, like to try this game again?"
7087	Would the young man know the history of Wenongonet, alone?
7087	Yes, but I should like mightily to know how he got wind of our movements? 7087 Yes, but to climb it would be a long, and perhaps dangerous task, would it not?"
7087	Yes, but what do you expect to make here more than in any other new country? 7087 Yes, if I could; but where could I keep him?
7087	Yes, what is the meaning of this? 7087 Yes, yes; but what was that I just caught a glimpse of, out there in the offing, to the right?"
7087	You are laying out largely for one day, are you not?
7087	You are the good woman of the house?--the wife of the new settler?--the mother of Mr. Claud Elwood?
7087	You see that, do n''t you, captain?
7087	You see that, do n''t you, captain?
7087	You two should hereafter be friends, should you not?
7087	Your name, young lady?
7087	Your son, I suppose?
7087	--''But shall I go to the relaxing clime of the South for this?''
7087	--''Can these be had in the study- room?''
7087	--''Can this be had in the close or artificially- heated room?''
7087	--''Landlord,''I cried aloud, as I saw that personage at that moment passing by my partly open door,''when does the first stage, going north, start?''
7087	--''Well, what do I need?''
7087	A banquet among backwoodsmen?
7087	A passing cloud come over the moon?
7087	A ship?
7087	All I intended was, to ask, as I do again, are you through with your evidence_ now_?"
7087	And how do you know the furs?
7087	And stay,--what is that dark object around and a little beyond the point?
7087	And what can you make out of the Elwoods, more than any other new settlers?"
7087	And why should she not?
7087	And you told Avis what you thought, I suppose?"
7087	And, finally, who was ever made healthier?
7087	Are you agreed to that arrangement, young man?"
7087	Besides this, have n''t I always given you a fair chance to win back all you could?"
7087	But can you determine the direction to be taken to strike it?"
7087	But do n''t the mad creature see the frigate, and the frigate her?"
7087	But if you would accept such a small thing?"
7087	But say, captain, you have n''t been reading any chapters in any strange book yourself, lately, have you?"
7087	But they can not be very far off, can they, Claud?"
7087	But what is that, a little to the left of the ship''s course, in the distance ahead?"
7087	But what is to be done?
7087	But what sound was that which now fell upon her ear, as if responsive to her ejaculation?
7087	But what was now to be done?
7087	But what was you about to say when I first spoke?
7087	But what you mean by it is, I suppose, that I ca n''t tell the time?"
7087	But who can see a piece of lightning when not in motion?
7087	But who is that tagging along alone after the rest?"
7087	But who is this?"
7087	But who was that father?
7087	But why do you speak of the first snows?"
7087	But why feel this strange interest?
7087	But why the useless speculation?
7087	But your token should be given to Claud, should it not?"
7087	But, for that sorrow and suffering, who before high Heaven will be held responsible?
7087	But, if they did so before this second interview, would they do it less now?
7087	Can not I still be a man?
7087	Claud, Claud Elwood,--can you love this beautiful girl at your side?
7087	Could aught human, or aught of human construction, be here, now, and survive?
7087	Could they be mistaken in the place?
7087	Did n''t I tell you, sir, I''d have no more of your guess- work?
7087	Did you ever know a happier?"
7087	Did you make it?"
7087	Did you mistrust it?"
7087	Did_ you_ get a view?"
7087	Do you know the family?"
7087	Do you notice something protruding as if from under the protecting wing of the eagle of the_ Totem_, there?"
7087	Does the young man understand the creed of our people?"
7087	Elwood?"
7087	Elwood?"
7087	Gaut Gurley, what, O what does this mean?"
7087	Go after him?"
7087	Have I said enough, and not too much?
7087	Have either of you as safe grounds of judging him?
7087	Have they not now been married long enough to be both entitled to the more endearing names of father and mother?
7087	Have you been working yourself to death for those Elwoods, to- day, or has something gone wrong with you, that makes you look so sour this evening?"
7087	He hinted, if I would fall into his plan and keep council, we might--""Might what?"
7087	He was to have been at home long before this, was he not?"
7087	He would jump any pasture or yard fence there is here, and then run away, would he not?"
7087	How came you here?"
7087	How could they have possibly made out who I, or indeed either of us, was, at such a distance?"
7087	How was it there?
7087	Hunter?"
7087	I ask_ you_, and_ you_, sir?"
7087	I do n''t understand it; but stay,--what is that rising from the top of the rocks, some distance back from the front of the den?
7087	I dunno but''twas the woman put the devil into him, as women do into two- legged animals sometimes,--don''t they, young man?"
7087	If I distrusted the certainty of my aim before this last fright, should I not do it much more now?
7087	If_ those_ were so dangerous under ordinary circumstances, what would this be, already bent on destroying me?
7087	Might what, I say?"
7087	Mr. Sheriff, do you see it?"
7087	Mrs. Elwood, may I not sign myself your friend?
7087	Must the faults of the erring father be visited on the innocent son, who had become the last hope of the mother''s heart?
7087	Must they both be sacrificed?
7087	Nor none of the family?"
7087	Now only one thing more,--what of your son?"
7087	Now, is all explained?"
7087	Now, what are the steps you would advise to be taken for his apprehension?"
7087	Now, what claim had I on any other settler to be that one to aid me?
7087	O Claud, Claud, why has this dreadful cloud come over us?
7087	O, why need this be?
7087	Our children, as you may have suspected, seem intent on being friends; and why should not we be friends also?
7087	Phillips, did you say?
7087	Phillips?"
7087	Phillips?"
7087	Phillips?"
7087	Say whether you will meet me at the old room, or not, as soon as your company have cleared out?"
7087	Shall we put them on the stand?"
7087	Shall you and I leap down, make a spring upon him, and stand our chance?"
7087	Suddenly leaping from his seat, from the torturing force of the reflection, he exclaimed:"Must I bear this?
7087	Surely, you wo n''t doubt me?"
7087	Through whose means did you make your fortune?
7087	Was there not some one standing over me, just now, darkening my face like a shadow?
7087	We from below have invited him to join our company; are you all here agreed to that?"
7087	We have a tough case on hand; but how did you get here?"
7087	Well, what is she to me?
7087	What business had you to suspect?
7087	What can be the reason why he does not return?
7087	What could it mean?
7087	What do_ you_ say?"
7087	What girl is there that he could think of in comparison with Avis?"
7087	What if the world should take it into their heads to make it fashionable to be good?"
7087	What is it?"
7087	What say you, Arthur?"
7087	What say you, Claud?"
7087	What say you, Elwood?
7087	What say you, Gurley, Claud, and Tomah?
7087	What should she do?
7087	What suppose we pack up, and go and ascend it?
7087	What suppose you should be telling, before a great while, lest this end of the fleet might be missing?"
7087	When shall we reach there?"
7087	Where and what is it?
7087	Where is the black duck?"
7087	Who can they be?"
7087	Who ever came from one the wiser?
7087	Who has been so kind as to start such a project?"
7087	Who was ever made any better?
7087	Who was ever made really happier by being in such an assemblage?
7087	Who will furnish me with a good saddle- horse?"
7087	Who, but the doubly- guilty husband whose conduct has caused them?
7087	Why did n''t you crow, to let us know who was coming?"
7087	Why reject one whose life she would peril her own to save?
7087	Why should not the same principle apply to the operation of love as well as hate?
7087	Why, Elwood, is it possible you have been under a misapprehension about that, all this time?"
7087	Will not the chief relate it briefly?
7087	Will you all join me in the work, without flinching or flagging?"
7087	Will you establish the treaty, and give me your hand upon it?"
7087	Will you not go up there?"
7087	Would you like to see my son, Claud?"
7087	Yes, what is it?
7087	Yes, where was Claud?
7087	Yes,"she added, after another long and thoughtful pause,--"yes, why not?
7087	Yes; and why not?
7087	You are the Indian that has been to college?"
7087	You have a pretty stiff- looking burnt piece here to be logged off soon, have you not?"
7087	You have an affair that you feel a peculiar interest in, with somebody on the upper lake, and--""You know that?"
7087	You have salt pork?"
7087	You know how curiously he imitated that creature at the logging bee, do n''t you?"
7087	You will both go, wo n''t you?"
7087	You will join me in going there, will you not?"
7087	You, however, should I succeed in getting up comfortable quarters, would not be content to make such a place your home?"
7087	Young man,"he added, with a startled air,"was your father calculating to burn that slash to- day?"
7087	_ Why_ should they suspect?
7087	a dream, nothing but a dream?
7087	and are they not happy enough and good enough to merit the dearest names?"
7087	and what could have caused it?
7087	and what if they do?"
7087	and who need doubt the identity of the accursed author of the deed?"
7087	and"Where is Gaut Gurley?"
7087	but they paid the poor people for their cow, I trust?"
7087	ca n''t you trace the chine across the end of this?"
7087	cried Fluella, laughingly;"how odd that is getting to sound, Suppose I call your mother aunt?
7087	do you catch a glimpse of a house- like looking structure, in an open and light spot in the woods, a little beyond where you cease to trace the path?"
7087	do you expect to force the canoe up rapids like these?"
7087	exclaimed the sheriff,"what is it you know?"
7087	exclaimed the trapper, driving through the ice to the shore;"did you ever hear a rooster crow in a time like this?
7087	have you killed one?"
7087	he feebly murmured,--"how came you here, Fluella?"
7087	hostile Indians?--hostile to whom, to my father, or to me, that I should run from them?
7087	may not that son,_ at least_, be delivered from the web of toils into which he has so strangely fallen, and yet be saved?
7087	my red friend, where did you get that canoe?"
7087	not forthcoming, hey?
7087	or rather, first, I will ask, which of them is the witness?"
7087	replied Elwood;"why not, for all you can say?"
7087	she continued, with gathering emotion,"are you indeed restored alive to my arms, and, but for you, my now doubly desolate home?
7087	the name?"
7087	then it must be the echo of one, that has somehow struck across from Phillips''barn; but how could that be?
7087	what has become of your bullet evidence now?"
7087	what is this?
7087	what say you, then, to giving them a call as we pass by?"
7087	what shall save the poor trappers, now?
7087	what was that?
7087	what, honey- bees?"
7087	where is Claud?"
7087	who can find the least fragment of it after it has struck?
7087	who could measure the depth of her heart''s anguish?
7087	why, that is my given name: did n''t you know it?"
43473	Ah, doctor, is that you?
43473	Am I going to die at last?
43473	And I?
43473	And about what did he interrogate him, my child? 43473 And did you leave the camp at daybreak?"
43473	And do you know what o''clock it is now?
43473	And he is called?
43473	And how is she?
43473	And if they should make you prisoner?
43473	And my mother?
43473	And my niece?
43473	And so dressed?
43473	And the elder?
43473	And the general?
43473	And those means?
43473	And who is this man?
43473	And you call it a valuable plant?
43473	And you know nothing of their lives?
43473	And you, where will you be?
43473	And your wife-- do you forget her?
43473	And-- what are they?
43473	Answer me, then,she said, trembling with emotion;"do you love me?"
43473	Are the women of your nation, then, like Indian squaws, who view torture without trembling?
43473	Are there no means, then, of preserving us from death?
43473	Are we alone?
43473	Are we still far from the camp?
43473	Are you going to leave us?
43473	Are you not afraid of death?
43473	Are you not white men? 43473 Are you prepared to conduct us thither?"
43473	Are you sure of what you say?
43473	Are you sure these hunters come as enemies?
43473	At what distance?
43473	Be satisfied, I will; but you, what are you going to do?
43473	Be warned, Rafaël,he said;"for the last time, will you surrender?"
43473	Because I wish you to partake of something I have prepared for you before you mount on horseback; you can not refuse me, can you, dear uncle?
43473	But how did you get out of the hands of those devilish redskins?
43473	But if your son arrives?
43473	But tell me,the mother of Loyal Heart resumed,"when you arrived in the prairies, how did your uncle employ his time?
43473	But the name of the man?
43473	But we had done nothing to you, had we?
43473	But what will be my recompense?
43473	But your son?
43473	But yourself?
43473	But,Belhumeur asked,"is it today-- do you say, old man, that she is to be burnt?"
43473	But,Eusebio asked,"the man you have taken-- what do you mean to do with him?"
43473	But,said Doña Luz, anxiously,"how shall I know if my uncle be saved or not?"
43473	By what right,Frank cried,"does Loyal Heart intercede for us?
43473	Can he, then, be unhappy?
43473	Come, then; speak out, little pet?
43473	Dear mother, what are you saying?
43473	Dear uncle, since you regret so much not having a son to whom you could, after you, leave your name, why not adopt Loyal Heart?
43473	Did she kill them?
43473	Did you know that I was about to come?
43473	Did you see,he said,"who marched at the head of the hunters?"
43473	Do n''t you think so?
43473	Do they like honey, then?
43473	Do you draw back, or are you thinking about betraying us?
43473	Do you feel yourself able to walk? 43473 Do you find it so?"
43473	Do you know a trapper named Black Elk?
43473	Do you know one more suitable?
43473	Do you know the two hunters who rendered us such timely service?
43473	Do you know where my troop is encamped?
43473	Do you speak seriously?
43473	Do you swear to be faithful to your engagements?
43473	Do you think so?
43473	Do you think so?
43473	Do you wish it?
43473	Does my brother find himself comfortable with the redskins?
43473	Does my mother feel herself sufficiently recovered to be fastened to the stake?
43473	Does not my mother hear me?
43473	Does not the life of a mother belong to her child?
43473	For once you speak out; now we know what we have to trust to; you demand five thousand dollars?
43473	For what purpose, señorita?
43473	Forgotten what?
43473	Gone?
43473	Has Loyal Heart forgotten the visit I paid him three days ago?
43473	Has anything serious taken place at the camp, then?
43473	Has my brother cause to complain of anyone?
43473	Has not my son returned yet?
43473	Have you anything more to say to me, general?
43473	Have you forgotten where you are, miserable scoundrel?
43473	Have you many Mexicans among your companions?
43473	Have you no guides with you, then?
43473	He will come presently?
43473	How can I ever acquit myself towards her and her noble son? 43473 How can I tell, mother?"
43473	How can you dream of such a thing?
43473	How could I tell I should meet that cursed trapper there?
43473	How do you know that, my child?
43473	How do you know that?
43473	How does my brother know that?
43473	How has this happened?
43473	How long will it take us to arrive there?
43473	How only lately?
43473	How so, dear?
43473	How so?
43473	How so?
43473	How so?
43473	How the devil can you expect me to advise you? 43473 How the devil can you tell that?"
43473	How this?
43473	How, to none?
43473	I am calm,she replied,"why should you feign a pity you do not feel?
43473	I am here; it was impossible to arrive sooner; my mother is free, I suppose?
43473	I am playing no double game; but I think you and I have known each other a pretty considerable time, Kennedy, have we not?
43473	I am thankful to the chief,she said;"but since he is good enough to take interest in our welfare, will he permit me to ask him a favour?"
43473	I believe you,she said; then after a pause she added,"What is become of him?"
43473	I can conceive that, my child; but what do you wish me to do to make it otherwise?
43473	I do not draw back, and I have not the least intention of betraying you, only----"Only?
43473	I hope that the young lady who came to visit my hatto yesterday, in company with her uncle, is well? 43473 I should be most glad to do so, but how?"
43473	I understand,she said with a charming smile;"now that, thanks to you, we are saved, you have nothing more to do here,--is it not so?"
43473	In an instant,said the Comanche quietly; and turning to the woman,"What is the name of the warrior of the palefaces?"
43473	In this world who can flatter himself with being happy? 43473 In what direction?"
43473	In what place would you wish, señor, the señorita''s tent to be pitched?
43473	Is he dead, then?
43473	Is he not, uncle?
43473	Is it agreed?
43473	Is it far?
43473	Is it for the purpose of uttering these commonplaces that you have required my presence here, sir? 43473 Is it not?"
43473	Is it not?
43473	Is it then such a very valuable plant?
43473	Is that all?
43473	Is that unpleasant to you?
43473	Is there anything fresh?
43473	Is there still time, then?
43473	Is this really all?
43473	Let us consider, then, what is best to be done? 43473 Loyal Heart,"the young lady said, softly,"will you then abandon me to the mercy of this bandit?
43473	My brother is foolish,the hunter replied;"does he think me so unskilful that I could not have killed him, if such had been my intention?
43473	My dear doctor,she said, in a sweet but weak voice,"are you willing to render me a great service?"
43473	My kind uncle, shall I not always be happy while near you?
43473	My mistress, Doña Luz?
43473	No,said Loyal Heart,"it is Nô Eusebio; what can this mean?
43473	Now then, how long does the general reckon upon remaining in this new encampment?
43473	Now, I suppose, you have finished?
43473	Now, uncle,she said at length,"what is your intention?"
43473	Now,Belhumeur continued with a sinister smile,"let us talk a bit; I think I have equalized the chances a little-- what say you?"
43473	Now?
43473	Of Loyal Heart?
43473	Of what consequence is that to you?
43473	Of what importance is that to you? 43473 Of what use is it, then?"
43473	Of what use is it?
43473	Of what use would it be to repeat to you a name which, according to all probability, is unknown to you, and which can not interest you? 43473 Ought I not to watch over everything that belongs to you with the same zeal as if it were my own?"
43473	Shall I accompany you, señor?
43473	Shall I watch?
43473	Shall they belong to me?
43473	She may go where she pleases?
43473	So,he asked,"Captain Aguilar was killed, was he?"
43473	Thank you,the girl replied joyfully;"one word more?"
43473	That is something strange,the general murmured;"are you sure of what you are telling me?"
43473	That is true, let us be gone; but the captain, what have you done with him?
43473	That is true,said the general;"but,"he added,"how do you set about this chase?
43473	That is true; but what do you aim at?
43473	That may be possible; but if they should wake?
43473	The bears?
43473	The name of my assassin?
43473	The name of that man?
43473	Then shall we depart soon?
43473	Then the perils of last night have left no distressing impression upon your mind, my dear child?
43473	Then you wo n''t tell me what you are doing?
43473	Then,the general continued, following up the idea of his preoccupation,"the life we are now leading is not fatiguing to you?"
43473	This is what Doña Luz begged me to repeat to you----"Was it Doña Luz that sent you to me?
43473	This sort of life pleases you then?
43473	To go in search of intelligence, no doubt?
43473	To look after our traps,_ caramba!_ do you think I will lose them?
43473	To what Indian tribe does this man belong?
43473	Was it Amick( Black Elk), the principal guardian of Loyal Heart''s traps?
43473	We have some traps near here, I believe?
43473	Well done, Frank, and who are these Indians?
43473	Well, and then?
43473	Well, but what are they?
43473	Well, captain,said the general, with a smile,"have you recovered from the effects of their alarm?"
43473	Well, then, darling, what are these means?
43473	Well, uncle, these means----"These means are?
43473	Well?
43473	What ails thee, my child? 43473 What are the white men doing?"
43473	What are their names?
43473	What are they about now?
43473	What are those men?
43473	What are you doing?
43473	What are you doing?
43473	What are you laughing at, you little witch?
43473	What are your conditions?
43473	What are your names?
43473	What can be done against the will of God?
43473	What did he mean by what he said?
43473	What do you ask?
43473	What do you do then?
43473	What do you mean by that?
43473	What do you mean by that?
43473	What do you mean by that?
43473	What do you mean by that?
43473	What do you mean to do?
43473	What do you mean, dear uncle?
43473	What do you mean?
43473	What do you require of me?
43473	What do you want with, me, my friend?
43473	What does all this mean, niece? 43473 What does all this mean?"
43473	What does my brother say now?
43473	What does my brother say? 43473 What does that concern you, madam?"
43473	What does the chief mean?
43473	What does this mean? 43473 What does this mean?"
43473	What does this mean?
43473	What else can they be?
43473	What follows? 43473 What follows?"
43473	What follows?
43473	What have you done with him?
43473	What is all this verbiage to us?
43473	What is become of him?
43473	What is going on?
43473	What is it?
43473	What is that woman to him, then?
43473	What is that?
43473	What is the matter with you, Don Gustavio?
43473	What is the matter, Nô Eusebio? 43473 What is the matter?"
43473	What is there fresh, doctor?
43473	What is there new?
43473	What is to be done, then?
43473	What is to be done?
43473	What is to be done?
43473	What is to be done?
43473	What is to be done?
43473	What is to be said for it, señorita?
43473	What matters it to you? 43473 What mischief are you talking about?"
43473	What more do you want with me?
43473	What shall I say to him?
43473	What should you do that for?
43473	What the devil, perhaps all is not lost?
43473	What then?
43473	What then?
43473	What time will it require to gain this spot?
43473	What will you do, my son?
43473	What would you do?
43473	What''s going on now?
43473	What''s the good of that? 43473 What''s the matter with our rastreros?"
43473	What''s the use of asking him anything now?
43473	What''s to be done?
43473	Whence come these thoughts to your mind, dear child?
43473	Where are we going, señora?
43473	Where are you going so late?
43473	Where are you going?
43473	Where is that which I demanded of the chief?
43473	Which of them?
43473	Which way would you wish to direct your course, today, general?
43473	Who are you?
43473	Who else could it be?
43473	Who knows?
43473	Who, I? 43473 Why did you lead them to the beaver pond, then?"
43473	Why do you defer my death? 43473 Why do you pause?"
43473	Why have you never told me of this place before?
43473	Why not, fair lady?
43473	Why not?
43473	Why not?
43473	Why not?
43473	Why should I live?
43473	Why should I not be gay, uncle? 43473 Why so?
43473	Why so?
43473	Why that question?
43473	Why, ca n''t you see, my friend?
43473	Why, then, did you tell me that you did not know how to draw the young girl out, having so much time before you?
43473	Why?
43473	Will my brother give them up to me?
43473	Yes, but where is the captain? 43473 You are going back to the grotto?"
43473	You are leaving the camp?
43473	You get on horseback then? 43473 You have no son to whom you can bequeath your name and your immense fortune, have you, uncle?"
43473	You have saved the life of my niece,said the general warmly;"how shall I discharge my debt to you?"
43473	You know dependence is to be placed upon my word?
43473	You know me, do you not?
43473	You know them, my daughter?
43473	You remember,he said,"that you yesterday manifested an intention of finding a spot where we might conveniently encamp for a few days?"
43473	You swear to do what I ask of you?
43473	You take great interest in him, then?
43473	You told me you were acquainted with a situation that would perfectly suit our purpose?
43473	You will not scold me, uncle?
43473	You will save them, will you not?
43473	You?
43473	Your wounds appear slight; are they progressing towards cure?
43473	_ Cascaras!_ what for? 43473 _ Wah!_"said the chief, in a still more amiable manner,"this renowned warrior must have a name respected through the prairies?"
43473	After having waited some minutes for a reply to her question,"Don Ramón,"she repeated,"what have you done with my son?"
43473	And it was only for the purpose of pulling up herbs in this manner that you came into the prairie?"
43473	And then, what had he to dread in coming a second time amongst his enemies?
43473	And then, what remedy could be employed?
43473	And where are the Comanches at this moment?"
43473	And you ask me if it is valuable?"
43473	Are you wounded?"
43473	As the major- domo passed the last, with a bow, before his master, the latter asked him:"Well, Nô Eusebio, how many heads do we count this year?"
43473	Belhumeur replied, apparently convinced;"but where are we going now?"
43473	Belhumeur respected the grief of his friend-- indeed what consolation could he offer him?
43473	Belhumeur,"the grandfather asked my guide, who, seated beside me, was vigorously employing his fork,"have you found the track of the jaguar?"
43473	But a woman, weak and resigned, presenting herself like a lamb to the shambles, already half dead, what interest could such an execution offer?
43473	But how was she to see him again?
43473	But she must no longer be left in these mortal doubts; where is your horse?"
43473	But upon whom?
43473	But what was to be done?
43473	But what was to become of her in this desert, where nothing was to be met with but wild beasts, and still more ferocious Indians?
43473	But why should I flatter myself with wild chimeras?
43473	Can I tell what is going on here so as to tell you what you must do?"
43473	Can it be that my brother is a slave?"
43473	Could I, after that, arrest the son of the man who had saved my life at the peril of his own?
43473	Did he not hold the general in his power?
43473	Do n''t you know it is not far from midnight?"
43473	Do you clearly understand me?"
43473	Do you know him?"
43473	Do you not recognise me?
43473	Do you not?"
43473	Do you recollect?"
43473	Does he fancy that we are not men?
43473	Does he fear I should understand his words?"
43473	Does not the law of the prairies say,''an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?''
43473	For what object were these explorations made, at the end of which a greater degree of sadness darkened his countenance?
43473	Has he not his mate?"
43473	Has he returned?"
43473	Has not the hunter come?"
43473	Have I spoken well, men of power?"
43473	Have I spoken well, men of power?"
43473	Have you any good news to give us?
43473	Have you received any bad news?"
43473	He bowed slightly to the chiefs ranged before him, and addressed Belhumeur in a firm voice,--"Where is the girl?"
43473	He had stood thus for some time, when a soft voice murmured in his ear--"What is the matter, my son?
43473	He is alone; can anything have happened to my mother?"
43473	How can you have the audacity to present yourself among us at the head of a set of brigands?"
43473	How could a young girl, accustomed to all the comforts of life, support the hazards of this existence of privations?
43473	How could they possibly resist such a number of adversaries?
43473	How is it, then, they are met with here?"
43473	How long did it last?
43473	How long have you been an inhabitant of the prairies?"
43473	I am listening to you; what have you to say to me?"
43473	I did not know when you would require her to be delivered up to you?"
43473	I have spoken: have I spoken well, men of power?"
43473	I know their chief then?"
43473	I mean, are you able to walk a distance?"
43473	I must confess it appeared rather obscure to me, I could not fancy what it meant; but you will explain it, will you not?"
43473	In fact, what could they do against these intrepid wood rangers, who reckoned life as nothing?
43473	Is it just that we should suffer their rapine without complaining?
43473	Is my conduct just?
43473	Is not that your opinion, Don Rafaël?"
43473	Is that all you desire of me?"
43473	Is this the manner in which you execute my orders?"
43473	Justice was then about to be done?
43473	Kill them?
43473	Knowing that you had the Babbler for a guide, he suspects that the half- breed intends to draw you into some snare?
43473	Let my father reply; let my brothers say if that is just?"
43473	Loyal Heart cried, springing towards him, and endeavouring to raise him up;"what are you doing?"
43473	My father has spoken like a wise man; what think you of it, my brothers?"
43473	Now that, I think, is the wisest course we can take; what do you think of it?"
43473	Now, had the worthy_ savant_ any secret intelligence with Eagle Head?
43473	Now, what do you think of all that?"
43473	Now, what is to be done?
43473	Of what consequence is my life to me, a poor lad without a family, who owes everything to your kindness?
43473	On which side must we introduce ourselves into the camp?"
43473	Only see, what a fine opportunity you have lost?
43473	Ought I to be blamed?
43473	Retire,"said the warrior, dismissing the messenger with a nod of the head; then, addressing the hunter, he asked,"What is to be done?"
43473	Shall we allow ourselves to be slaughtered like timid ashahas without seeking to avenge ourselves?
43473	Shall we never get there?"
43473	Shall you remember these words?"
43473	She hoped, then?
43473	Thanks to God?
43473	The guide closed his eyes, collected himself for a few seconds, and then, with great effort, said,--"Give me some brandy?"
43473	The pale woman and the grey head?"
43473	Then pulling his cloak tighter round him, he asked,--"Are the arms all loaded?"
43473	These wounds that you see me bear, who inflicted them?
43473	This is what has happened: Last night one of our guides----""The Babbler?"
43473	We were twelve men against four hundred savages; what could we do?
43473	What am I to do?
43473	What can be thought of a boy who, at so tender an age, is endowed with the instincts of a wild beast?
43473	What could I do with them?"
43473	What could have become of the girl?
43473	What did he want amidst his most implacable enemies?
43473	What do you purpose doing with the twenty prisoners who are now in your hands?
43473	What for?
43473	What have you to say in your defence?"
43473	What is to be done, then?"
43473	What next?"
43473	What probability was there in it?
43473	What reason sufficiently strong had been able to induce him to commit the imprudence of delivering himself up?
43473	What say my brothers?
43473	What should I do here now?
43473	What then?"
43473	What vermin do you mean?"
43473	What was he doing during the long hours of his absence?
43473	What was the object of this journey, and why had her uncle so positively insisted upon her making it with him?
43473	When you arrived in the prairies, whence did you come?"
43473	Where is this man?
43473	Who has tied poor Trim up in this fashion?"
43473	Who the devil has treated him in this fashion?"
43473	Why are your features clouded with such sadness?
43473	Why did you betray us, you miserable wretch?"
43473	Why did you come then?"
43473	Why did you not come all together, instead of you by yourself?
43473	Why do you hesitate?
43473	Why should you torture my mother, who is an old woman, and seek to deprive me of life?
43473	Why then do you make war against us?
43473	Why, then, did you save me?"
43473	Why?
43473	Will you conduct them to the stone villages of the great white hearts of the East?
43473	Will you have confidence in me now?"
43473	Will you release them that they may continue their life of murder and rapine?
43473	Will you replace for me the family I have lost?
43473	Will you, once for all, allow me to speak?"
43473	With that object could Loyal Heart, after having saved her, so quickly have departed?
43473	Would the captain venture to come?
43473	Yes or no-- do you accept the offer I make you?"
43473	Yes; I see you are amusing yourself with pulling up the weeds of the prairie, that is all; and I should like to know what for?"
43473	You are no longer so gay as when we set out; whence comes this sudden change?"
43473	You are not the principal chief, are you?"
43473	You have nothing more to say to me?"
43473	You require a victim, do you not?
43473	You understand that, do you not?"
43473	and what is going on here?"
43473	and why do they always seek to deceive the redskins?"
43473	answer me, Loyal Heart, will you be to me a son?"
43473	are there bees here?"
43473	but, in that case what will he do?"
43473	cried Black Elk, with warmth;"can you really be on good terms with the Indians?"
43473	cried the general, shaking the arm of the guide violently,"will you leave us to be burnt thus, without making an effort to save us?"
43473	dear uncle,"she replied, in a plaintive tone;"how can I be otherwise than sad after all that has happened within the last few days?
43473	do I ever scold you?"
43473	do they fancy themselves capable of catching us, if we wished to escape from them?"
43473	has not my life already been long enough?"
43473	have you already killed the jaguars, chief?"
43473	he asked,"how are your patients going on?"
43473	he asked;"are you ill?"
43473	he cried, as he re- entered the hacienda,"is it possible that my chastisement has already commenced?"
43473	he muttered to himself,"what does this mean?
43473	he said in English,"Who the devil are you-- and what are you seeking here?"
43473	he said to the doctor,"what are you doing there, my good sir?
43473	he said, addressing the young lady,"are you sure you miss nothing, señora?"
43473	he said, holding out to him a hand which the other pressed warmly hut silently,"have I reason to rejoice or to be still sad at your presence?"
43473	he said,"of what consequence is my being a prisoner?
43473	he said,"what does all this mean?"
43473	he said,"what is passing in your little head?
43473	he said;"you are dull and preoccupied; do you begin to be tired of us?"
43473	how acknowledge, as I ought, the immense services he has rendered me?"
43473	how acquit myself towards him?
43473	how can you tell me to do so, mother?
43473	how is that?"
43473	in that way----""Then that arrangement suits you?"
43473	murmured the officer to himself,"what is this fellow doing here?"
43473	my good fellow,"said the captain, in a jeering tone,"what madness possesses you to be herbalizing thus at all hours of the day and night?"
43473	or was his proposition anything more than a rodomontade?
43473	said Eagle Head, with a sinister smile,"I knew that well enough: why have the palefaces two hearts and two tongues?
43473	said the Negro, who, up to this moment had remained silent,"am I not able to carry my master when he can walk no longer?"
43473	said the captain, knitting his brows;"do you imagine that I give up my projects in that fashion?"
43473	said the captain, shrugging his shoulders,"do you take me for a butcher?
43473	said the captain,"numerous?"
43473	said the general, whose brows became contracted;"do you know what you ask me, my dear child?"
43473	said the general,"has today''s journey fatigued you much, my dear niece?"
43473	said the general,"what extraordinary thing has happened, Master Babbler, to induce you to speak?"
43473	said the hunter,"what does this mean?
43473	said the old man,"are you sure of that?"
43473	said the pirate;"what game are we playing now?"
43473	said the stranger, with a smile of contempt, as he advanced towards them,"you recognise me, my masters, do you?
43473	save myself and leave you?"
43473	she cried with terror;"why burn me?"
43473	she cried, joyfully,"can it be possible?"
43473	she repeated, smothering him with kisses;"leave me to die in your place; ought not a mother to give her life for her child?"
43473	she said with terror,"will you then become his executioner?"
43473	that is pretty well played, is it not?"
43473	that they may carry off your wives, steal your horses, and kill your brothers?
43473	that tortures will be able to draw from us cries and complaints unworthy of us?
43473	the Indian interrupted in an angry tone;"why does my white brother speak before me in an unknown tongue?
43473	the captain murmured, angrily;"have my rascals allowed themselves to be surprised?"
43473	the captain muttered;"What new devil''s trick have these demons invented?"
43473	the doctor cried, eyeing him with an expression of terror,"you should be careful; do you know you might have killed me?"
43473	the doctor replied gallantly, as he wiped his brow,"Do you not find the heat very oppressive?"
43473	the doctor replied,"what do you mean by that?"
43473	the mayoral murmured to himself, biting, without thinking of doing so, the end of his extinguished cigarette,"what will be the end of all this?
43473	the other said, withdrawing his pipe quickly from his mouth;"and who are the Indians who have dared to steal the traps marked with my cipher?"
43473	the pirate replied, with haughty irony;"what have you to ask of him?
43473	the poor mother cried, rushing towards her son, whom she folded closely in her arms,"will no one come to my succour?"
43473	the son of my mother is a great hunter, is he?
43473	there is some use in it, then?"
43473	time passes, will he never come?"
43473	was I mistaken?"
43473	were you there, dear child?"
43473	what do you mean by that?"
43473	what do you mean?"
43473	what do you want with me?"
43473	what fearful news are you going to communicate to me, my friend?"
43473	what for?"
43473	what will the general say?"
43473	who knows?"
43473	why did you not attack us, then?"
43473	why do you not come to me as quickly as possible, instead of wasting your time like an idiot?
43473	why have you come?"
43473	why should I not do it?
43473	you do not know?"
43473	you insult me,"the young lady interrupted, drawing herself up haughtily:"what can there be in common between me and the leader of bandits?"
43473	you were listening to us, Captain Waktehno, were you?"
43473	you will not do so?"
43473	you?"
27980	A bay horse? 27980 A man does not so readily refuse a treasure that he has only to pick up from the ground?"
27980	A second question:--Were they really_ Indians_ who murdered your companion?
27980	A stranger?
27980	All?
27980	Am I straight in my stirrups?
27980	And Pedro Diaz-- that man of such noble and disinterested feeling?
27980	And did the lawyer agree to your conditions?
27980	And did you love him? 27980 And do you know what is below that mass of fog which crowns their top?"
27980	And his friends Cuchillo, Oroche, and Baraja?
27980	And how have you arrived at this conjecture?
27980	And if she did, where would she find a man possessing higher physical or moral qualities than this same Tiburcio? 27980 And now, amigo,"continued the ex- herdsman, turning to the man who had first spoken,"do you still think that the jaguar attacks only foals?"
27980	And of course you lost-- being so nervous in presence of company?
27980	And this Arellanos-- do you think, he has not revealed this secret to any one besides yourself?
27980	And those men who are with him-- who are they?
27980	And to what do you attribute this strange absence?
27980	And what about this ragged young fellow, this Tiburcio Arellanos, whom you appear to know? 27980 And what do you intend to do with the child?"
27980	And what is your calling?
27980	And why not? 27980 And why?"
27980	And yet,continued he,"what of this treasure shall I keep for myself?
27980	And you are right, Diaz,replied Don Estevan;"but can you guess what fate these fellows have reserved for me?"
27980	And you could never learn the names of these brave, generous, and devoted men?
27980	And you despatched the uncle as well?
27980	And you have let him escape?
27980	And you know him?
27980	And you were forced to his terms?
27980	And your comrade?
27980	Are the Apaches like vultures who only attack the dead? 27980 Are the Indians numerous?"
27980	Are there any Indians to be exterminated, since I find you coming into these solitudes of ours?
27980	Are there many men of your size and strength where you come from?
27980	Are these the assistants you count upon?
27980	Are these white men or Indians?
27980	Are you going to sing your death- song like them, who, when tied to the stake, recall the number of scalps they have taken?
27980	Are you in earnest?
27980	Are you mad, Bois- Rose?
27980	Are you sure of this?
27980	Arellanos also craved for mercy; did you listen to him?
27980	Arellanos had a son then?
27980	Before my mother''s murderer? 27980 Besides, it is just the sort of life I have been accustomed to; have I not always been exposed to privations and the solitude of the desert plains?
27980	Besides,said Pepe,"do you count for nothing, Don Fabian, heaps of gold, and a whole life of abundance for an imaginary peril?
27980	But I have heard it said,rejoined Tiburcio,"that it is the habit of the prairie wolf to follow the jaguar when the latter is in search of prey?"
27980	But did you not learn their names?
27980	But had we better not make some effort in favour of the unlucky man?
27980	But have you not heard the rumour of the camp?
27980	But how do you intend to act?
27980	But how?
27980	But if that could be outraged which does not exist, may I ask what attempt this young man made upon your honour?
27980	But intrenched as we are?
27980	But is the time so pressing?
27980	But is there such a man?
27980	But of whom do you speak?
27980	But supposing her heart is not free?
27980	But surely,said he,"you at least know in what country you were born?"
27980	But there were then a score on this little island?
27980	But what chance have I to recognise in a grown man the features of an infant scarce four years old?
27980	But what resources do you count upon?
27980	But what services are to gain them, senor alcalde?
27980	But where to go on?
27980	But who can be amusing himself by hunting at this time of night, and in the middle of such a desert?
27980	But who do you think I am, Don Vicente Tragaduros?
27980	But who is he?
27980	But who is this man?
27980	But why do you ask me? 27980 But why is it,"answered Don Juan,"that the broken pane is precisely the one adjacent to the fastening?
27980	But why, Don Estevan?
27980	But why, senor, did you not make the demand on your own account?
27980	But you are not both from the same country?
27980	But you have not yet told me your name?
27980	But you, what will become of you?
27980	But, when you saw it four years ago, did it not recall anything to your memory?
27980	But,interposed Baraja,"why may he not lose it?--to- morrow in this hunt of wild horses there will be a thousand opportunities of his losing it?"
27980	But,said Fabian,"if we can save a Christian, shall we let him be murdered before our eyes?"
27980	By what miracle of heaven do I find you here?
27980	Can he have any suspicion?
27980	Can the red warriors only scalp dead bodies?
27980	Can this wretch,whispered he to Pepe,"smell flesh like the ogres in the fairy tales?"
27980	Can we light a fire?
27980	Can you not remember what sort of place it was in? 27980 Child, who implores pardon, when it is I who should ask it?"
27980	Child,cried Bois- Rose,"do you not see that every one is here for himself, and yet that our three interests are but one?
27980	Come, Benito,said Don Estevan,"these are nothing but hunter''s stories you have been telling, and you wish to frighten these novices?
27980	Curses upon him, if he has betrayed me?
27980	Dare I tell you, Senor Cuchillo, the favourable impression I had of you at first sight?
27980	Did I not tell you? 27980 Did he accept this proposal?"
27980	Did n''t you indeed? 27980 Did you hear anything?"
27980	Do I appear firm?
27980	Do you come as an enemy, or a friend, Diaz?
27980	Do you hear it?
27980	Do you know him then?
27980	Do you know the daughter of the rich landowner Augusta Pena-- at whose hacienda, please God, we shall sleep to- morrow night?
27980	Do you not see,cried Fabian, impatiently,"that he is not_ branded_, which shows that he has never yet been mounted?
27980	Do you observe any others behind?
27980	Do you release me from my oath?
27980	Do you remember nothing of your young days, more than you have just related to the Canadian?
27980	Do you see a light yonder shining through the trees?
27980	Do you think I have a crowd of alguazils? 27980 Do you think so?"
27980	Do you think,said Baraja, addressing himself to Benito,"that the jaguar is likely to return again?
27980	Do you trace upon this moss which covers the ground the print of my horse''s hoofs when I pursued Don Estevan and his troop?
27980	Does Tiburcio know all this?
27980	Does he think it beneath him?
27980	Does the vile wretch, who cut your father''s throat, deserve more consideration than the noble gentleman, who murdered your mother, my son?
27980	Don Antonio de Mediana?
27980	Don Estevan, then, has received the message which I sent him?
27980	Don Fabian? 27980 Doubtless-- did I not tell you so?"
27980	For what purpose were you going there?
27980	From what motive?
27980	Good logic,exclaimed Don Estevan, in a tone of raillery,"but am I really mistaken about you, my dear Senator?
27980	Has he seen us?
27980	Has the horse been stolen from_ you_?
27980	Have I not said so?
27980	Have we not said that we wish to take you alive?
27980	Have you found him?
27980	Have you killed him?
27980	Have you parted with the gentlemen in whose company we saw you?
27980	He is Don Augustin Pena; you are not without some knowledge of his name?
27980	How could I be otherwise?
27980	How could I hinder him? 27980 How do we intend to act?"
27980	How long since this happened?
27980	How should I know?
27980	How sir?
27980	How so?
27980	How then can you affirm that it is impossible I should recognise him? 27980 How when they have drunk?"
27980	How?
27980	How?
27980	Howl at your ease,cried he,"you have not captured as yet; but,"he added, in a more serious tone,"shall we be always as lucky?"
27980	Hunter, of what?
27980	I have never forgotten the service you rendered us,said the young girl;"but why recall those times?
27980	I hope so,said Pepe;"and in what place have you reserved me my portion?"
27980	I presume you never saw him before?
27980	I should be noble and rich then?
27980	I think like Pepe,said he, after a pause,"what could I do with this gold that the world covets?
27980	If it please you, we shall question him?
27980	If it were a human voice,asked Fabian,"where did it come from?
27980	If that man, to destroy the last souvenir of your birth, had murdered your mother, what would he deserve from you?
27980	If, after a long and difficult pursuit, fate had at last delivered the spoiler into your hands, what would you do?
27980	In all likelihood you have scarce heard of our political troubles, Don Vicente? 27980 In the former case, I shall die with you,"said Diaz, simply,"in the latter-- but of what use is it to speak of that which can not be?
27980	In what?
27980	Is any one wounded?
27980	Is he not grand? 27980 Is it not fine?"
27980	Is it of me your excellency is speaking?
27980	Is it really the voice of a man?
27980	Is it true, then, Don Estevan,inquired the Senator, as he wiped the perspiration from his brow,"that you have been through this country before?"
27980	Is it you, Rosarita?
27980	Is it you, Tiburcio? 27980 Is not that an Indian mounting the willow?"
27980	Is not the poor wretch calling for aid?
27980	Is not the stag the emblem of independence?
27980	Is not this meeting a somewhat strange coincidence?
27980	Is not this your desire, Fabian?
27980	Is that all? 27980 Is that also the object of our present journey?"
27980	Is that really your idea?
27980	Is that the advice of all of you?
27980	Is that what I am to understand; you estimate the price of your secret and services a tenth part of the whole?
27980	Is that what you mean to say? 27980 Is the hour late?
27980	It is strange that the Indians should have found our trail again?
27980	It is the body of some dead mule?
27980	It matters little to me,replied the young man;"here or yonder, are we not always agreed?"
27980	It was a rich man then-- some powerful person-- whom you denounced?
27980	Listen there!--what did I tell you?
27980	Listen, Fabian,said he;"can I speak to you the language of a man?
27980	Mediana, did you say, my father?
27980	Must we sustain a new siege here?
27980	No; did you?
27980	Nothing?
27980	Of the Count Mediana?
27980	Of the money?
27980	Of whom do you speak?
27980	Of whom do you speak?
27980	Oh, Count Mediana, why did you kill my mother?
27980	One more question:--Was it for this you flung the dead body into the neighbouring river-- not quite dead, it may be?
27980	Pardon, Don Tiburcio?
27980	Pepe,whispered Bois- Rose, pointing to a tuft of osiers,"does it not seem to you that that bush has changed its form and grown larger?"
27980	Perfectly,replied several voices,"and first, may we know who your master is?"
27980	Perhaps it was me?
27980	Perhaps some rivalry in love?
27980	Perhaps you knew my father, Marcos Arellanos? 27980 Perhaps,"he added,"it is to the hacienda of Venado that you make those periodical and mysterious journeys, so much talked about at Arispe?"
27980	Ruined you? 27980 Senor Senator,"said Arechiza, turning toward his_ compagnon de voyage_,"this place does not appear very suitable for our noon siesta?"
27980	Shall I wake Fabian now?
27980	Shall we allow him to come on? 27980 Shall we leave one of the servants to assist you?"
27980	She loves him, then?
27980	So then, you did me the honour to speak of me, and to what purpose?
27980	So then,resumed Fabian,"you know nothing more of me?
27980	Surely this is not your final answer?
27980	That is true; but who knows that their eyes can not distinguish a man from a piece of wood?
27980	That surprises you?
27980	The fault of stumbling in the left fore- leg?
27980	The heart of Rosarita is free, Senor Don Estevan; how could it be otherwise-- she whose life has been spent in the midst of these deserts?
27980	The thirst of gold has caught you also, Pedro Diaz?
27980	The way will be easily found?
27980	There is a real danger, then?
27980	These dangers are of all kinds,replied Fabian,"why deceive oneself longer?
27980	Third question:--Did you not receive, in a deadly struggle, a wound in the leg? 27980 This Don Estevan de Arechiza, of whom you speak,"resumed the Canadian;"he is the same we saw at La Poza is he not-- the chief of the expedition?"
27980	This young fellow is, no doubt, the son of some poor devil of this province?
27980	This young man will be easily watched so long as he is near us; and I presume he is decided to be one of our expedition?
27980	To sell to me:--and who is to answer for your fidelity?
27980	To the Indian, the enemy he seeks? 27980 To the gold- seeker the ore, concealed by God?
27980	To whom then?
27980	Trappers do you mean?
27980	Unless you drew the Indians on to our track, how could they have discovered us?
27980	Up yonder, near the pine trees? 27980 Was if in order to precede us here that you came to take leave of us near Tubac?"
27980	Was not my dream a warning from God? 27980 We are going wrong, Bois- Rose,"said he,"are not those the tops of the willows on the bank?"
27980	Well, and the young man,interrupted the haciendado, who was almost as much moved as the daughter, on hearing these sad events,"what became of him?"
27980	Well, and what do you conclude from that?
27980	Well, but has this young man not confided to you any other secret? 27980 Well, senor, suppose we change places?
27980	Well, what do you think of your future son- in- law?
27980	Well,continued Don Estevan,"what have you learnt?"
27980	Well,cried Pepe, whose rage blinded his judgment,"it is useless to look at the fire; have you any method of making it deviate from its course?"
27980	Well,said Pepe, when Bois- Rose came to the surface to take breath,"are we firmly fixed?"
27980	Well,said the haciendado, smiling,"this is another proof of happiness, is it not?"
27980	What age do you think he is?
27980	What are these dangers that we three together can not brave? 27980 What are you going to do?"
27980	What at your words?
27980	What business of yours, where I got him?
27980	What can I do?
27980	What can be done then?
27980	What can it mean? 27980 What care I for the Medianas and their powerful race?"
27980	What creatures?
27980	What did I tell you?
27980	What did you do then?
27980	What do you know of Don Estevan?
27980	What do you mean to say?
27980	What do you mean, senor?
27980	What do you mean?
27980	What do you mean?
27980	What do you say to our staking, on word of honour, a little of that gold we are going to find?
27980	What do you say?
27980	What do you think, Senorita?
27980	What do you want of him?
27980	What do you want, fellow? 27980 What fashion?"
27980	What have you done, Pepe?
27980	What if the jaguars come our way?
27980	What is it, Don Estevan?
27980	What is it, your grace?
27980	What is it? 27980 What is it?"
27980	What is that?
27980	What is the name of your guide?
27980	What matter?
27980	What matters it?
27980	What mean you, Senor Arechiza?
27980	What need? 27980 What on earth can have brought you here at this hour, Don Juan de Dios Canelo?"
27980	What ought I do with this man? 27980 What rumour?
27980	What say you, Canadian?
27980	What shall we reply?
27980	What signifies human destiny; for twenty years past you say you have owed your life to the absence of a tree?
27980	What signifies that, so long as my daughter does not love him?
27980	What sort of figure?
27980	What the deuce have you got there, Bois- Rose?
27980	What was bringing him to the hacienda, then-- for that is upon the route? 27980 What will I do with it?
27980	What will I do with it?
27980	What will you do with it?
27980	What, dead?
27980	Where are you going, Tiburcio?
27980	Where are you taking me?
27980	Where is he?
27980	Where?
27980	Who are you then?
27980	Who are you, and what do you want?
27980	Who are you, sir?
27980	Who are you?
27980	Who believes that?
27980	Who can prove that Tiburcio Arellanos is the son of the murdered lady? 27980 Who dare knock in that fashion?"
27980	Who else could I mean, you sot? 27980 Who gave you this information?"
27980	Who goes there?
27980	Who killed him?
27980	Who knows that better than I?
27980	Who knows?
27980	Who knows?
27980	Who sold you this horse six weeks ago?
27980	Who talks of being compelled?
27980	Who tells the shepherd,he cried,"where the den of the jaguar is to be found that devours his sheep?
27980	Who tells the vaquero where the horse that he pursues has taken refuge? 27980 Who the devil can they be?"
27980	Who the devil wants your music?
27980	Who would have expected to find, in the middle of the desert, such an accomplished beauty? 27980 Who would love me when you were gone?"
27980	Who would not have been, in your place, my beloved Fabian?
27980	Who-- of whom do you speak?
27980	Whom?
27980	Why doubt my courage?
27980	Why not?
27980	Why should I conceal it from you longer?
27980	Why should they open their ears?
27980	Why so frequently allude to this subject, my father?
27980	Why that?
27980	Why then so soon pollute a life which is scarcely begun? 27980 Why this halt, Diaz?"
27980	Why this question? 27980 Why trouble yourself about it?"
27980	Why? 27980 Why?"
27980	Will that do?
27980	Will you allow me to put the fire out?
27980	Will you tell me how Tiburcio Arellanos can be Fabian de Mediana?
27980	Yes, but your daughter loves him-- perhaps you were not aware of that fact?
27980	Yes,replied the latter,"what of it?"
27980	Yes; and by what chance are you so far from the camp?
27980	You already knew, then, that we were here?
27980	You are a hunter by profession-- I think I have heard you say?
27980	You are sure you are not wounded?
27980	You can remember no more?
27980	You could hardly guess, Senor Don Estevan, who is the man your generosity has saved-- for I have brought him with me safe and sound, as you see?
27980	You could not have imagined, could you, Pepe?
27980	You have heard the name before?
27980	You have seen it, and not possessed yourself of it?
27980	You have sent for me?
27980	You hear him?
27980	You heard, did you say?
27980	You knew him then?
27980	You know her, then?
27980	You know him, then?
27980	You say you have never been beyond Tubac? 27980 You see what is going on?"
27980	You will not say it? 27980 You wish for a more precise explanation?"
27980	You, who?
27980	Your father and mother-- are they dead?
27980	Your honour will dismount?
27980	_ Quien sabe_--who knows?
27980	` Did you hear nothing?'' 27980 A hundred times, in the silence of the night, I recalled that suppliant voice, and asked myself in anguish, What did he then hear? 27980 Accuser, witness, and judge were all before him, but who was to be the executioner? 27980 After a minute''s silence, another spoke:The whites have doubtless a thousand stratagems at their service, but can they increase their stature?
27980	After four days in which we took a different path, do we not find them near these mountains?
27980	Afterwards, too, at the festivals of the neighbouring villages, a hundred times had he gazed upon her; but what of that?
27980	And his father, also, he must have trembled for the life of a beloved son?"
27980	And if it please Pepe and I to incur them for you, what then?"
27980	And which of us is it, friend,"continued he, with an ironical air,"to whom you wish to teach this law?"
27980	And you have seen this Golden Valley you say with your own eyes?"
27980	Are there not in Spain tribunals which dispense justice to all?
27980	Are you in truth,"he continued,"that Don Antonio, whom men here call the Count de Mediana?"
27980	Are you not three to one?
27980	Are you satisfied with this assurance?"
27980	Are you sure they are alone, Bois- Rose?"
27980	Are you sure?"
27980	Are you that man, senor Senator?"
27980	At length the latter said gently,"Fabian bore another name, Senorita; do you wish to hear it, while we are alone and without witnesses?"
27980	At this moment Pedro Diaz raised the door of the tent, and said,"You sent for me, Senor Don Estevan?"
27980	But are you quite safe?"
27980	But first tell me what you think of this distant firing?"
27980	But how did_ you_ discover this_ placer_?"
27980	But let me return to the expedition; about how many men composed it, do you guess?"
27980	But they will say it of me now, and is not that enough?"
27980	But was this really the position of Tiburcio with Rosarita?
27980	But what has happened?
27980	But what is to be done now?
27980	But why dwell longer upon such scenes?
27980	But why, then, had not Tiburcio, as she always called him, returned to the hacienda?
27980	But you say you wish to speak to me about some business-- what is it, Friar Jose Maria?"
27980	But you will carry on my work?
27980	But, pray what is the name of the master of whom you speak?"
27980	By this time everything will be cold, and Nicolasa-- What do these bits of glass prove?"
27980	Can I rely upon you, gentlemen?"
27980	Can they be greater than what we have just passed through?
27980	Cuchillo was yet smiling, when Fabian exclaimed--"Were you paid for assassinating Marcos Arellanos?"
27980	Did he dread his approaching defeat?
27980	Did you count how many rifles the Indians had?"
27980	Did you not agree that it should be consummated when we knew that Don Estevan could not return?
27980	Do not therefore be ungrateful; for, why not admit it?
27980	Do you begin to understand me?"
27980	Do you believe that one could die of love?"
27980	Do you call this frail rampart of osiers and reeds an intrenchment?
27980	Do you know any prayers for the dying, Senor Baraja?"
27980	Do you know whether or not we have the right to demand from him, whom you doubtless know only as Don Estevan, a terrible account of the past?
27980	Do you know who is the man for whom you wish to expose your life?
27980	Do you not know something?"
27980	Do you not remember that this man was suddenly separated from you in the midst of a terrible affray--?"
27980	Do you not think so, Pepe?"
27980	Do you perceive a single star farther down, which scarce shines through the vapour?
27980	Do you remember the place?"
27980	Do you see any obstacle to it, Rosarita?"
27980	Do you think these leaves are ball proof?
27980	Do you think, Don Fabian, that the Golden Valley is far off?"
27980	Do you understand?
27980	Does not everything prove that Don Estevan knows also of the existence of the Golden Valley?"
27980	Does not infinity surround me here?
27980	Does your heart agree to it?
27980	Don Estevan?
27980	Either he was dead, or he no longer loved her?
27980	Even should all the riches of the Golden Valley remain forever buried in these deserts, what would it avail me now?
27980	Fabian lived, and loved her still, what more could she desire?
27980	For instance, has he said nothing to you about an affair of the heart?--has he not told you he was in love?"
27980	Had he not in prospect the possession of a rich placer?
27980	Had he the stoical resignation of which he himself had given so many proofs?
27980	Had the desert claimed these three noble spirits, as it has done so many others?
27980	Has Cuchillo returned?"
27980	Have I not understood you to say, Senor Cuchillo, that you were to be the guide of our expedition?
27980	Have you by chance heard anything of this grand expedition that is being organised at Tubac?"
27980	Have you noticed the young man whom chance brought into our company?
27980	Have_ you_ nothing better to propose, Bois- Rose?"
27980	He has heard a noise, he raises his head; do not the drops that fall from his mouth look like liquid gold?
27980	He is dead; what then do you wish?"
27980	How many days''journey is it from hence to the hacienda?"
27980	How many men has Don Estevan with him?"
27980	How many will remain to partake with me?
27980	How was he( Tiburcio) to arrive at a complete understanding?
27980	However I bring you a prisoner; do you wish to interrogate him?"
27980	However, he restrained himself, and replied gravely, though with trembling lips--"Who, then, sends you to me, messenger of ill?"
27980	I am nothing more to you than what I seem?"
27980	I have escaped from the Salto de Agua?"
27980	I have followed their example in regard to you; and now may I ask you who you are, and what happened at the hacienda to drive you forth from it?"
27980	I heard your piece speak-- have you throwed him, Pepe?"
27980	I understand you,"said the Senator, turning a sly look upon his companion,"it was the beautiful eyes of the daughter that attracted you, the--?"
27980	I was almost sure of it-- but are you also certain?"
27980	If not, what shall we do with you?"
27980	In fact, since I have not been able to recognise you, I do not see how_ he_ can?"
27980	In his belief some crime had been committed, but how was it to be explained-- since the assassin had left no traces of his guilt?
27980	Into what new course might I precipitate this torrent of ambition that was boiling within me?
27980	Is Baraja living?"
27980	Is he not beautiful?
27980	Is it not for movement, for fighting, and for the powerful emotions of the desert that man is born?"
27980	Is it not gold that gives glory, pleasure, and every good of this world?
27980	Is it not so?"
27980	Is it possible to be too quick in obtaining happiness?"
27980	Is it possible, Rosarita, that you have forgotten those sweet souvenirs upon which I have lived from that day up to the present hour?"
27980	Is it possible?
27980	Is it that you mean?"
27980	Is n''t he the most splendid quadruped that ever galloped through these woods?"
27980	Is the night not better for your purpose?
27980	Is there not in truth a law which assimilates the criminal with the upright though insolvent debtor, and compels him to the same fate in prison?
27980	Is this Golden Valley in that part of the country where I intended to have taken my expedition?"
27980	It does not surprise you?"
27980	It was therefore in a less severe tone that he asked--"Of what crime am I then accused?"
27980	It would be a sad affair if you were to lose your place?"
27980	Might he not, by the puissance of gold, discover who were his real parents?
27980	Misfortunes did we not say?
27980	Must he again fly from that Golden Valley, from which fate seemed always to drive him?
27980	Must that be accomplished in death?
27980	Nothing?
27980	Now I restore it all for my life-- what can you want more?"
27980	Now what say you?"
27980	Now, Fabian, shall we wait for the enemy here, or shall we fill our pockets with gold and return?"
27980	Now,"continued he, once more raising his voice,"where can he have gone, unless to yonder fire in the woods?"
27980	On the other hand, so near the object of his ambition, was he to permit this barrier to stand in his way?
27980	One fear tormented him; he had seen Fabian in danger when his blood was boiling with passion, but had he the calm courage which meets death coolly?
27980	Pepe!--where are you?"
27980	Pepe, the Sleeper?"
27980	Pepe-- you know well enough?
27980	Perhaps,"continued he, observing that Tiburcio made no reply,"you have been up to the house already?"
27980	Senor Cuchillo?
27980	Should he, then, after having passed the middle of his career, again embitter the remainder of his days by another deed of blood?
27980	So young, so brave, so handsome, must you meet the same fate as a man who would soon be useless in the world?"
27980	Such charms were created to shine in afar higher sphere?"
27980	Suddenly aroused, the coast- guard was asked if he had seen or heard anything?
27980	Suppose you miss them?"
27980	Suppose you mount behind me, and let us be off?"
27980	Supposing I could give you all that has been promised you?
27980	Supposing, then, that one of the actors should fail in performing his part, and the spectators have to take his place?
27980	Swear, then, to pursue to the death the murderer of Arellanos?''
27980	That Don Estevan is not going by mere hazard to search for a mine of gold; but that he already knows of the existence of a rich placer?
27980	The first is:--In your expedition with Arellanos, had you not a horse that stumbled in the left leg?"
27980	The white men of the south are being attacked now; why are the men of the north not against them?"
27980	The window was hanging open, and the wind clashing it violently against the frame, would readily cause the breaking of a pane?"
27980	Then aloud:"A philosophical maxim?"
27980	Then once more facing round to the fire, he hazarded a last question:"Do you not remember one circumstance above all?
27980	There are two bullets in my gun, and with these and a sure eye, what care I for a jaguar?
27980	They have certainly some reason for keeping themselves at a distance?
27980	Was it in a house?
27980	Was it not I who first apprised his widow of the unfortunate occurrence, having myself heard of it by chance?"
27980	Was it not here that, by the intervention of a miracle, I again found you in the heart of this forest, after having lost you upon the wide ocean?
27980	Was it not so?"
27980	Was it so with Rosarita?
27980	Was the deed already done?
27980	Was there no woman whom he may perchance have had in his confidence?"
27980	Well, Fabian, do you see the advantage of firing in file?
27980	Well, have you saved the man?
27980	Well,_ quien sabe_?
27980	Were they as rich and powerful as they might have been?
27980	What became of Fabian?
27980	What can we do?"
27980	What can you mean?"
27980	What can you offer to me-- to my father?"
27980	What do you know of Don Estevan de Arechiza?"
27980	What do you say, Bois- Rose?
27980	What do you say, Bois- Rose?"
27980	What had become of these intrepid hunters who had willingly encountered fatigues, privations and dangers, instead of returning to civilised life?
27980	What have I to regret in this world?"
27980	What matters?
27980	What reception would he meet with from Dona Rosarita?
27980	What say you?
27980	What say you?"
27980	What should I do with such riches?"
27980	What then do the laws of the desert decree?"
27980	What think you, Bois- Rose?
27980	What was to be done with this droll fellow?
27980	What were they to her?
27980	What would gold be to me?
27980	When I saved him, and attached myself to him as though he had been my own, did I ask about his ancestors?"
27980	When the Indians come to steal his cattle from the vaquero, does he sit still and say:_ God only can prevent them_?
27980	Who can guess how many conflicting thoughts crowded upon the mind of the Spanish nobleman, as he lay upon the ground?
27980	Who could Tiburcio be in love with in these deserts?
27980	Who could foresee what new stratagems the Indians might employ against them?
27980	Who do you think he was?"
27980	Who does not know him?"
27980	Who does not love it at times?"
27980	Who is to assure you that to- morrow I may not change my mind?"
27980	Who is to prevent me presently, when daylight appears, from picking up as much as I can carry without betraying my secret?
27980	Who knows how many enemies we have around us now?"
27980	Who persuaded you to make this last trial?
27980	Who sent him to seek this beautiful and gracious lady, and learn if in her heart, she still treasured your memory?
27980	Who watched over your slumbers during long nights, to hear from your lips the secret wishes of your heart?
27980	Why did I indulge in such a foolish hope?
27980	Why do you ask my pardon, when I tell you it is I, who should ask yours?"
27980	Why do you not take some rest, like our companions?"
27980	Why have these travellers not come here to demand hospitality?
27980	Why might not the same hand restore him to me in the midst of the desert?
27980	Why refuse to follow a course which the unlooked- for favour of Providence opens to you?
27980	Why should I consider this a miracle?
27980	Why should I, who do not know what to do with this gold, risk my life to obtain it?
27980	Why then are not human laws a counterpart of these divine decrees?
27980	Why?"
27980	Will that be agreeable to you?"
27980	Will the words which your ears will transmit to your heart not freeze it with terror?"
27980	Would it not tell of dangers overcome, and surround itself with a double halo of sacrifice and suffering?
27980	Would not that countenance, ennobled by toil and travel, remind Dona Rosarita of the love for which she had every reason to feel proud and happy?
27980	Would not that enable him to overcome all obstacles both of the past and the future?
27980	Would you have the kindness, my dear friend, to give me a light for my cigar?"
27980	You are not acquainted either with my name or rank?
27980	You are old-- weak in consequence-- and without resources?"
27980	You can swim, Fabian?"
27980	You have given to my captain forty_ onzas_?"
27980	You hear how silent all is after so much noise?"
27980	You promise, then, that all the gold of this valley shall be mine?"
27980	You were perhaps more fortunate than I?
27980	You will return to the Senator Tragaduros-- he knows what he has to do, and you will support him?"
27980	You yourself, Pepe-- would_ you_ wish to return to your own country, since you have known the charms of a wandering life?"
27980	` Is this the language of a man?
27980	added he more slowly and significantly,"the times are pretty hard with us-- are they not?"
27980	all this gold?"
27980	and by the same means, might he not realise that sweeter dream that had now for two years held possession of his heart?
27980	and fourth: Did you not carry upon your shoulder the dead body of Arellanos?"
27980	and has he gold lace on his hat, and a fine face?"
27980	and who are those who have spared it?
27980	and who are you then, senor, may I ask in my turn?"
27980	another suspicion?"
27980	answered Fabian,"but you do not perhaps know what a terrible duty I have to fulfil?"
27980	began Arechiza, who appeared to make light of the impatience of his_ protege_,"what do you think of the daughter of our host?
27980	can you remember that?"
27980	continued Fabian,"that so much gold could be collected in one place?
27980	continued the speaker;"what object to follow next?
27980	cried Diaz,"shall I commit such a cowardice?
27980	cried Fabian sadly;"do you forgive me for suffering myself to be vanquished?"
27980	cried Fabian, in a scarcely perceptible voice,"or a delusive vision which will quickly disappear?"
27980	cried Fabian,"has Cuchillo long possessed this grey horse, which, as you may be aware, has a habit of stumbling?"
27980	cried Fabian;"but what have you heard?"
27980	cried Fabian;"is it Cuchillo of whom you speak?"
27980	cried Pepe;"what causes this sudden panic?"
27980	cried he,"Don Estevan knows of the Golden Valley?
27980	cried he,"I see a man approaching at full gallop: it is Gayferos or Cuchillo?"
27980	cried she,"are you wounded?
27980	cried the_ femme de chambre_, with a hypocritical whine,"my poor mistress!--who then is to help her?"
27980	do not leave us so; do you wish to bring upon our house the malediction of heaven?"
27980	do you hear that?"
27980	do you know anything of Elanchovi?"
27980	do you not fall on your knees to thank God for being one of those called to share in these treasures?"
27980	do you not rejoice to become in your old age rich and powerful?"
27980	do you see anything?"
27980	does he not suspect the existence of the Golden Valley?"
27980	does not the neighbourhood of those places, so fertile in gold, give new vigour to your limbs?"
27980	exclaimed Don Estevan,"jealous of this ragged rustic?"
27980	exclaimed Don Estevan;"and who knows but that to- morrow may be too late?
27980	exclaimed Pepe, appearing to become more interested;"has anything happened to you?"
27980	exclaimed Pepe;"you have accepted the offer, of course?"
27980	exclaimed the Senator,"the proprietor of the Hacienda del Venado?
27980	have I exaggerated her beauty?"
27980	have I not still, if I should become ambitious, the name and fortunes of my forefathers to reclaim?
27980	he continued, raising his voice;"do n''t you think that the breeze which was blowing roughly last night might have caused this?
27980	he cried with some warmth,"did you not yourself consent to this marriage only a month ago?
27980	he cried,"in the name of your mother-- for Dona Rosarita''s sake, who loves you, for I know that she loves you-- I heard--""What?"
27980	he died a conqueror?
27980	he is in love with your daughter?"
27980	he must then be his son?"
27980	he saw, before he died, the white dogs dispersed over the plain?"
27980	he stammered out in a weak voice,"who told you that?
27980	how?"
27980	independent of the chagrin which this affair has caused you, are you not also affected by some fears about your own future?
27980	inquired Diaz,"and who may he be?"
27980	interrupted Bois- Rose, in a soft, appealing tone, as if he was speaking to an infant--"what has become of you?"
27980	interrupted Don Augustin,"surely you did not permit this infraction of God''s law, who says,_ vengeance belongs only to Him_?"
27980	is it time to set forth upon the chase?
27980	is it you, Pedro Diaz?"
27980	is it you, Senor Benito?"
27980	is it you, Senor Cuchillo?"
27980	is not the desert preferable to cities?"
27980	is that the name he goes by here?"
27980	is this will in consonance with your own?
27980	it is you, my poor Benito?"
27980	it is you,_ Don_ Gregorio?"
27980	must we kill you, then?
27980	my master; will you afford hospitality to two strangers for a day and a night?"
27980	no doubt you have penetrated to the bottom and know all-- you, whose perspicacity is only equalled by the tenderness of your conscience?"
27980	no doubt your friend was in the wrong, and you received great provocation?"
27980	oh, speak it?"
27980	one more question?"
27980	or beg him to continue his journey?"
27980	or do you not remember whether the sea was around you?
27980	or have I been three days asleep?"
27980	or with a bold effort to rid himself of the obstacle?
27980	rejoined Don Lucas, with a laugh,"you do n''t appear to suffer much of the misery-- you are always asleep I understand?"
27980	said Baraja, as he did not go on,"what more terrifying things have you to say?"
27980	said Baraja,"have you ever been present at such a thing?"
27980	said Bois- Rose,"and why not?"
27980	said Bois- Rose,"for what perfidy has he need of us?"
27980	said Bois- Rose,"or only one of those singular echoes which resound in these mountains?"
27980	said Bois- Rose,"what do you mean?"
27980	said Bois- Rose;"is his life worth that of the last of the Medianas?"
27980	said Fabian,"can not we three uproot the island, as Pepe said?"
27980	said Fabian,"what have you to say in your defence?"
27980	said he to Gayferos,"you probably belong to the camp of Don Estevan?"
27980	said he,"for this rudeness; but allow me to ask you another question?"
27980	said the young girl,"did you not hear a noise?"
27980	shall I again hear those frightful howls which troubled my sleep?"
27980	she murmured, softly,"do I not visit it every evening?"
27980	such youthful freshness?
27980	we killed first five Indians, then three, that makes eight; there should have been twelve left; why did we only count ten in the water?
27980	what did I tell you?"
27980	what''s that to me?
27980	what?"
27980	where did you get this horse, Cuchillo?"
27980	who are you talking of?"
27980	who is this Fabian of whom you speak?"
27980	why did they not leave me to die upon the road?"
27980	why might not these travellers, who appear to shun it for that very reason prove friends to me?"
27980	why was not I killed instead of him?
27980	would it not be the time to attempt a descent on the bank?"
27980	you are innocent of the crime of which they accuse you?"
27980	you do not make answer-- you love him, Rosarita?
27980	you expected me then?"
27980	you have been rich then?"
