Heaps of people I know are already convinced that I was keeping Lola Brandt and that you took her from me in the ordinary vulgar way " "Yes, yes," I interrupted, shrinking. "That's why I order you, in God's name, to leave the whole thing alone." "But confound it, man! I've come out of it all right, why shouldn't you? Even supposing Lola was a loose woman " I threw up my hand. "Stop!"

Not one hundred paces beyond where Wetzel had quit the pursuit, were the remains of a camp fire, the embers still smoldering, and moccasin tracks of a small band of Indians. The trail of Brandt and his Shawnee guide met the others at almost right angles. The Indian, either by accident or design, had guided Brandt to a band of his fellows, and thus led Wetzel almost into an ambush.

Ethan Brandt has committed suicide because life had become intolerable on such conditions. The summer of 1851 in Lenox was by no means brilliant. It had not yet become the tip end of fashion, and Hawthorne's chief entertainment seems to have been the congratulatory letters he received from distinguished people. Mrs.

Brandt, the Dutchman, built him a whole flotilla; and already, in spite of the terrors of his mother, Natalia, Peter dreamed of the sea. "The child is amusing himself," the courtiers of Sophia affected to observe; but these amusements disquieted her. Each day added to the years of Peter seemed to bring her nearer to the cloister.

Metzar's dull gaze traveled from this to the ominous face of Brandt. "See there, you! Look at this arrow! Shot by the best Indian on the border into the window of my room. I hadn't been there a minute when it came from the island.

"I will read this." "Oh, not now, Gerard, not now," cried Margaret. "Every moment you lose fills me with fear; and see, large drops of rain are beginning to fall, and the clouds lower."

"'Tis a trick to rob me of my hundred crowns. Oh! I know you, burgomaster." And Jorian was ready to whimper. A mellow voice fell on them both like oil upon the waves. "No, good man, it is not false, nor yet is it quite true: there was another parchment." "There, there, there! Where is it?" "Hush, hush!" " is Brandt." "Where is it, girl? that is all we want to know."

"And is it you, Brandt?" he exclaimed, as he looked into the sergeant's face. "Brandt is my name it is true," said the wachtmeister gruffly, as he peered at the soap-lathered countenance before him, "but who are you? I can see naught but soap. . . . Himmel," he shouted joyfully, as the professor beamed back at him, "I was blind. It is my dear and honored Herr Professor from Munich!

Brandt and Hilliard joined him, but the Texan lingered. "I reckon I'll join you later, gentlemen," he said. While their footsteps died away he looked steadily at Arlie. Her eyes met his and held fast. Beneath the olive of her cheeks, a color began to glow. He held out both his hands. The light in his eyes softened, transfigured his hard face. "You can't help it, honey.
