Greatly to the curiosity of the blacks, who watched the descending message with undisguised wonderment, the object did not explode on reaching the ground as they fully expected it to do; and it was with an absurd display of caution that Tari Barl and Blue Fly went to receive it. "The C.O sharp!" ordered Wilmshurst. "Don't hold the thing like a snake it won't bite."
We didn't have to say hardly a word Doc Lyon just went on and told about settin' Bender's house on fire to purify the abomination of the dwelling, he said, where Nancy Allen had lived. We heard enough and slid off the barl. Then Jasper Rutledge came out and said: "Can you boys remember what he said? For that's a free confession he made, and you must testify, and I will.
And the sheriff laughed and said, "Well, I'll swan, have it your way. But mind you, I'm going to hide and hear what is said, for I want to hear what he says about all this devilish work. But if you tease him or say anything out of the way, I'll stop it and drive you off." So we promised and Mitch rolled the barl up to the winder and we both stood on it and looked in.
"Well then," said the sheriff, "don't fool around with that barl; I'll let you inside the jail and you can stand comfortable and talk to him." Mitch didn't know what to say to this. He just toed the ground with his toe, and finally said, "We'd rather stand on the barl, Mr. Rutledge." I knew what he meant. It wouldn't be like Tom Sawyer to go inside.
Tari Barl indicated that the scouts had followed two distinct spoors for more than a couple of miles without actually sighting any of the retiring enemy. Acting upon this information the advance guard marched into the ground on which the Huns had recently halted.
Tari Barl departed on his errand, and returned presently, looking very crestfallen. "What's wrong, Tarry Barrel?" asked the subaltern. "Colonel him call me one time fool, sah," he reported. "Him tell you come see him all in dashed hurry quick." "I wonder what Tarry Barrel has been doing?" thought Dudley as he hastened to report to his C.O.
"Man him gone," declared Tari Barl, with the important air of a person making a momentous statement. "Yes, I know that, Tarry Barrel," replied the subaltern impatiently. "Is that all?" "Me find dis in bush, sah," continued the imperturbable Haussa, holding up a small, glittering object for his officer's inspection. It was a recently-fired rimmed cartridge-case.
