We stood face to face, yet neither could see the face of the other in the darkness. I told my tale, and asked where I could find a sheltered spot to camp. "Stranger," slowly replied the Cracker, "my cabin's close at hand. Come home with me. It's a bad night for a man to lay out in; and the niggers would steal your traps if they knew you had anything worth taking. Come with me."
I told you you were much more widely known than you believed." "Well, Brule," Trigger muttered moodily to the solidopic propped upright against the pillow before her, "you'd bug those pretty blue eyes out if you knew who's invited me to dinner!" Brule smiled back winningly. She lay on her cabin's bed, chin on her crossed arms, eyes a dozen inches from the pretty blue ones.
There were no shadows now; the sunlight was streaming in through the cabin's three windows and through the door that stood open into a world of forest green. She heard birds singing and the sound of running water. Barry Elder was nowhere to be seen. The cabin was one room, an amazing room, its unconcealed simplicities blazoning themselves cheerfully in the light.
Instead I took a firm grasp upon the rail with my left hand and drew my dagger. I should at least die as I had lived fighting. As Thurid came opposite the cabin's doorway a new element projected itself into the grim tragedy of the air that was being enacted upon the deck of Matai Shang's disabled flier. It was Phaidor.
There was Bandy-legs, for instance, who, much to his own inconvenience, had shown Trapper Jim and the rest just how easy it would be for some animal to drop down the wide-throated chimney during the absence of the cabin's owner and play havoc within. The panic excited by the squatter skunk had been another lesson.
Greaser surely thought he had fallen in with his evil spirit, for he howled to the saints to save him. Herky-Jerky was the only one of his companions brave enough to start to help him. "The cabin's full of b'ars!" he yelled. At his cry the bear leaped out of the cloud of dust, and shot across the threshold like black lightning. In his onslaught upon Greaser he had broken his halter.
I cried out to Nick, but my voice was drowned. He seized me and flung me under the cabin's lee, and then above the fearful note of the storm came cracklings like gunshots of great trees snapping at their trunk.
Then the Roman candle went out, and Hans breathed a sigh of relief. "I vos glat dot is ofer," he said. "No more firevorks for me, not on your kollarbuttons, no!" "I hope they didn't do any damage in the cabin " began Mrs. Stanhope anxiously, when there came a cry from Aleck Pop. "Stop dat fire from comin' down!" yelled the colored man. "De hull cabin's in a blaze!"
There appeared four small brass sockets imbedded in the carpet's deep pile; and the centre of the room was clear. By the same dexterous use of his acquaintance with the cabin's mechanism, Keith unfastened one of the settees, and wheeled it forward so that it stood under the light, and in great comfort for the time when they should sit to hear his story. "Now!" he said.
It's Mac that matters." "Did the Boy say that?" He looked up. The Colonel nodded. "After you had made that chimney, you know, you were a kind of hero in his eyes." Mac looked away. "The cabin's been cold," he muttered. "We are going to remedy that." "I didn't bring any liquor into camp. You must admit that I didn't intend " "I do admit it."
