"Even to an enemy," the General put in, "By George, Brinsmade, unless I knew you, I should think that you were half rebel yourself. Well, well, he may have his Arkansan." Mr. Brinsmade, when he conveyed the news to the Carvel house, did not say that he had wasted a precious afternoon in the attempt to interview his Excellency, the Commander in-chief.
"Matter enough for you to come along," said the Arkansan, and we went two and two, he and Gholson, Harry and I. We reached camp at sundown, and stopped to feed and rest our horses and to catch an hour's sleep. Gholson's fatigue was pitiful, but he ate like a wolf, slept, and awoke with but little fever.
That summer had worn away, like a monster which turns and gives hot gasps when you think it has expired. It took the Arkansan just a month, under Virginia's care, to become well enough to be sent to a Northern prison He was not precisely a Southern gentleman, and he went to sleep over the "Idylls of the King."
"I sabe you'd better not try to sit in at this game, my friend." Boone swung abruptly upon Melissy. "How come you here, girl? Tell me!" And in three sentences she explained. "What's your play? Whyfor did you bring her?" the Arkansan demanded of MacQueen. The latter stood balanced on his heels with his feet wide apart.
"Is there gold in those hills yon, mister?" asked a lean, lank Arkansan, of Mr. Grigsby, who was accepted as an authority on the country. "There might be; I dunno," responded the Frémonter. "But it's powerful dry, according to Kit Carson. You can't mine without water. Of course, those flat-tops to the south of us are in Mexican territory.
"The horse may have to save you," drawled the Arkansan. "I think you know Lieutenant Durand?" asked the General, with a quizzical eye. "Slightly." "Well, Smith, on his suggestion approved by Major Harper, I have detailed another clerk to the Major." Rills of perspiration tickled my back like flies. "Can't one man do the work?" "Yes, the new man is detailed in your place."

"I happen to know," essayed the city student; but the Arkansan had made an interrogatory answer to the Doctor, that led him to add: "Why, yes; you see the houses here on these lands are little, flimsy, single ground-story affairs, loosely thrown together, and freely exposed to sun and air." "I hap ," said the city student. "And yet," exclaimed the Doctor, "Malaria is king!"
They put a mattress under the Arkansan. Virginia did not leave him until he had fallen asleep, and a smile of peace was come upon his sunken face. Dismayed at the fearful sights about her, awed by the groans that rose on every side, she was choosing her way swiftly down the room to join her father and aunt in the carriage below. The panic of flight had seized her.
By God, I've evened my score with Black MacQueen." And from the cliff above came the answer a laugh full of mocking deviltry and malice. The Arkansan turned upon Melissy a startled face of agony, in which despair and hate stood out of a yellow pallor. "Trapped." It was his last word to her. He swept the girl back against the shelter of the wall and ran crouching toward the entrance.
