She had always liked him, and respected his vast learning, but to-day she certainly did not get much comfort out of his converse. She wondered why she had been so light-hearted while Starr was with her showing her how to shoot, and lecturing her about the danger of going gunless abroad; and why she was so perfectly dejected when Holman Sommers talked to her about the very same thing.
Doubtless, if the Captain had ordered him to shoot one of the company through the heart, he would have executed the command according to the manual of arms, brought his carbine to a "recover," and at the word marched back to his quarters without an inquiry as to the cause of the proceedings.

Tom began in a low voice, but increased his tones with each word. At first the beast seemed uneasy, and then it stepped switching its tail and just glared at Tom. "Ned! I say Ned! Wake up!" Tom listened. All was silent within the tent. "Ned! Oh, Ned!" Louder this time, but still silence. "Hey, Ned! Are you ever going to wake up! Get your gun! Your gun! Shoot this beast! Ned! Ned!"
