Well-known, too, was their master a dissipated brutal fellow, half hunter, half hog-thief, who dwelt in the woods like an Indian savage, and hired himself out to such of the planters as needed the aid of him and his horrid hounds! As I have said, I had never seen this individual, though I had heard of him often from Scipio, from the boy Caton, and, lastly, from Gabriel.
"None of that," I commanded. "Ebers, strike a match, will you, and let me see this chap." I had scarcely spoken when our prisoner thrust Sands roughly aside and took one hasty step toward me. "My God, Wayne! Is it possible this is you?" he cried excitedly. "Caton?" I exclaimed, as surprised as himself. "Caton? What is it? What is wrong?" "Am I to do dot?" asked the Sergeant, anxiously.
Through the red mist I beheld Caton for an instant as twenty brutal hands uplifted, and then hurled him into the ruck beneath their feet. Whether I fought alone I knew not, cared not. Then some one pressed next to me, facing as I did, wielding a sword like a madman.
With a slight formal bow to those present I quitted the room. I found the library deserted, and paced the floor for fully half an hour before Caton appeared. Stung as I had been by Brennan's harsh, uncalled-for words, I yet shrank from the thought that I must now meet him in deadly combat.
Really, I thought at the time our misfortunes fell upon us that it was going to be Miss Caton. She would have been a great assistance to you, Nat. It isn't as if you could even afford to be a bachelor. In these days so much is expected of them. How is your mother?" Mrs. Evringham made the addition in that tone of fixed sympathy which one employs when only a depressing answer can be expected.
John D. Caton, a late judge of the Supreme Court of Illinois.
We mounted the front steps as he was speaking, passing through a cordon of guards, and in the wide hallway I was turned over to the officer in charge. "Good-night, Captain," said Caton, kindly extending his hand.
I glanced back anxiously a dark, confused mass of men, without military formation, were running across the open space toward us. "'Bout face!" I shouted. "Load at will fire!" We poured one scattering volley into them. It halted their movement for a moment, and then the door opened a scant crack. "Is this you, Caton?" "Yes; for God's sake, open up!"
Did she not know more about poor little Miss Gray than did even Barbara Lee? "Then why " But at this dangerous moment Dr. Caton walked into the room. Jerry's sentence was very simple. She listened with downcast eyes.
There are various opinions about the expediency, policy, decency, propriety, and future prospects of this match. I adhere to Mrs. Caton. To be sure the French laws say something on this subject. As you are a learned lady, I will not say what; but, if you avow ignorance, you shall have all I know: not in my next, for Annapolis is yet on hand.
