Carson's window, from which I was observing their motions, was exactly half way between them, so that I had a distinct view of both. At this moment I noticed Denis Kelly coming forward from the closely condensed mass formed by the Ribbonmen: he advanced with his cravat off, to the middle of the vacant space between the parties, holding a fine oak cudgel in his hand.

It was felt to be a time of individual preparation for the Sacramentum of the following day, which Protestant Ulster had set apart as a day of self-dedication to a cause for which they were willing to make any sacrifice. See Sir B. Carson's speech in Belfast Newsletter, September 24th, 1912. See ante, p. 53. See p. 106. See p. 248. The Times, September 23rd, 1912.
On their prolonged absence being noticed, a party who were well mounted commenced the pursuit, no doubt believing that, to recapture the runaways would be an easy task. The squaws however eluded these horsemen, and, on foot, made their way to Kit Carson's house at Taos. By him they were hospitably received, entertained and amply provided for.
I think I knew what it was, even before I looked at it. A photograph of Anne Pendennis, identical save that it was unframed with that which was in the possession of the miserable old Russian, even to the initials, the inscription, and the red symbol beneath it! "This was found in Carson's pocket?" I asked, steadying my voice with an effort. He nodded.
But in future days it was remembered in Larry Carson's favour, that he had come over to Castle Richmond to see his master, contented to run the whole road back to Castle Richmond behind the car. A better fate, however, was his, for he made one in the triumphal entry up the avenue.
I had breakfasted at the Brown and was leaving my room-key with the clerk when I ran up against the plain-clothes man who had arrested me on the day of my arrival as a runaway. I should have passed him without recognition, as a matter of course, but he stopped and accosted me. "Carson's my name," he said, offering me his hand and showing his concealed badge in one and the same motion.
Miss Carson now prevailed upon her mother to go into the house, and I stayed and talked to the men and a few women who had gathered outside. When they had said all they had to say, and seen all there was to see, these people went home to their breakfasts. I entered my house, but not by the front door, for to do that I would have been obliged to trespass upon Mrs. Carson's back porch.
Ah me! all this took place so long ago, when I was young who now am old. Perhaps it may interest the reader to know the fate of Mr. Carson's property, which should of course have gone to his grandson Harry.
He even stepped forward, his eyes fearlessly upon Lee's, and settled his big frame comfortably in a chair by the table. "Go ahead," he concluded. "I'm ready." "That's as it should be!" Lee's voice was vibrant. His hard eyes brightened. With a quick jerk he drew the revolver from his belt and dropped it to the floor at Carson's feet.
