Naturally enough the two searched every pocket, and having finished searched them over again, even turning them wrong side out, and then turning them in and turning them wrong side out again; but all in vain, there was not a lucifer in the party. "Too bad!" exclaimed Elwood, "we are all as hungry as we can be, and we shall have to remain so for the want of fire."
Here, contrary to his doubting brother's expectation, Arthur Elwood, whose character appeared to be known to several of the wealthier guests, was soon treated with much respect, for, in addition to what a previous knowledge of him secured, Mrs.
The noble aborigine had come to the conclusion that discretion was the better part of valor. "Where is he?" asked the bewildered boy, rising to his feet and looking around him. "He is gone," replied Howard. "I admire his sense; he doesn't care about being shot just yet." Howard laughed. "You have a good opinion of your marksmanship, Elwood, and he seems to fear you more than Tim."
He who stood nearest to Elwood reached out his brawny arm, grasped him firmly and drew him out from his hiding-place. All then scrutinized him as if to make sure whether he was some wild animal or human being. Satisfied on this point, the boy was then shoved forward so as to be between the savages, and as they stepped off he was motioned to do the same.
Elwood had gone some distance, and was walking very rapidly, when he came abruptly upon the opening in the rocks which has been mentioned in another place. "Ah! here is a shorter cut across," was his reflection as he saw it, and not stopping to think further, he turned and walked rapidly through it. "I will beat Howard," and he smiled at the thought.
Elwood himself was also obviously considerably disquieted by the news, showing no little uneasiness and excitement, an excitement, perhaps, resembling that which is said to be manifested by a bird in the presence of the devouring reptile. He doubtless would gladly have been relieved from any further connection with Gaut.
The same picture met his eye the dark-hued Shasta, his long hair streaming over his shoulders, the blanket down to his waist, and his bronzed arms working with the silence, skill and regularity of a perfect machine. The gray light of dawn was spreading over the wood and river when Elwood Brandon again opened his eyes.
The wise can see that the moral law is just as powerful and as everlasting. Had I not won the people's confidence while I was city clerk of Elwood, Indiana, my public career would have ended there. But after four years in that office I aspired to be county recorder.
For an instant, his black eyes were fixed upon him, and then he placed his finger to his lips and looked down again. The boy understood it all. He didn't know anything of the Pah Utah. The fire burned vigorously and soon diffused a genial warmth throughout the cave. It was most grateful indeed to Elwood, who approached and subjected himself to a toasting process.
As Tim O'Rooney spoke, he pointed to the bow of the steamer, where, in the bright moonlight, some smoke could be seen rising where, too, the next instant, they caught sight of a gleam of fire. "Oh, heaven! what shall we do?" exclaimed Elwood, struck with a panic. "Wait and trust to Providence." "Let us jump overboard; I'd rather be drowned than burned to death.
