If Eagle-eye had no hand in the theft, why should he run away as he seems to have done?" asked Tad. "This is what is known as circumstantial evidence," the Professor informed them. "I do not say that the Indian is guiltless. I am simply counseling caution. Wait.
"Have you any idea who did this thing, Eagle-eye?" The Shawnee shrugged his shoulders as indicating that he did not know. "Probably it was the same fellow whom you found fooling about the camp the other night," suggested Walter. "Just what I was thinking," added Ned. "Yes, no doubt he is the man. But what we are going to do, I don't know. It occurs to me that I might send some one on to Mr.
"If Tad couldn't get out, he'd be even better off than we then," laughed Walter. "We would all be all right in that event, my boy. Come here, Eagle-eye." The Indian obeyed the command lazily. "We want you to take one of the ponies and ride back to your friend's place as fast as you can. Get a rope, one long enough to reach down into the gully. Don't spare the pony.
What's that, Eagle-eye? You mean yourself, I presume. You mean you came back. But that is not the point " The Indian shook his head with emphasis. "Other Indian come." Tad nodded at his companions as if to say, "I told you so." Then the Shawnee did know more than he had seen fit to tell them? "Tell us about it, Eagle-eye."
See that you don't forget. Remember, I'm depending upon you, Chunky, and if you fail me, I may be killed." "Don't you worry about me, Tad," answered Stacy, swelling with pride because of the responsibility that had been placed upon his plump shoulders. "I can make motions as well as anybody. Eagle-eye, tend to business over there. Get hold of that rope. Twist it around your arm.
Who left that thing there for me to nearly break my neck on?" he demanded angrily. "I guess it must be Chunky's saddle." "Of course. I'll talk to him in the morning. I'm going to bed. I'll catch my death of cold." Next morning the boys, assisted by Eagle-eye, had prepared the breakfast by the time the Professor had awakened. They took keen satisfaction in calling him for breakfast.
In a trice the Professor's feet were made fast to the tree with the remaining piece of rope that had broken off short. "Down on your stomach, Eagle-eye!" commanded the resourceful Ned, giving the redskin a jerk that sent him sprawling. "Take hold of his ankles and hang on, Professor. You next, Walter. Good. Now grab me by the ankles, while I go over head first."
The blunder was great; yet in the end its consequences were disastrous, not to those who committed, but to him whose eagle-eye detected it, and who could not resist the temptation which it presented, to make one warlike effort more.
Most of the intervening time Newton spent at the home of his mother, but from accounts of his we can see that the College people kept their eagle-eye upon him, for they sent remittances to him regularly for "commons."
There is a connexion between the mind and the body so subtle that it has hitherto eluded the eagle-eye of Physiology, and will perhaps remain inscrutible forever to human comprehension. But that this connexion exists is fully demonstrated by medical experience, and observation. Many bodily disorders derange the mind, and have in many instances totally destroyed it.
