Besides, he was too far from Emmonsville to return that night. "I will go to Lee's Falls," he said. "Not at present; I have other views for you." As he spoke the robber turned his horse to the right. Wholly ignorant as to where he was to be carried, Ernest sank back in his seat and resigned himself as well as he could to the situation.
"Well, lad, have you had enough of Emmonsville?" The speaker was Luke Robbins, and the time was two days after the series of exciting incidents recorded in the last few chapters.

"But what about the reward you are entitled to for the capture of John Fox?"
The United States bonds were inclosed in an envelope and carried in an inner pocket, which had been expressly made by an Emmonsville tailor on his first connecting himself with the bank. The pocket was unusually deep, so as to accommodate a long parcel. This was the most important commission on which Ernest had been employed, and he was pleased with the confidence reposed in him.

"Couldn't you oblige me with a check on the bank where you keep your money?" asked Luke, smiling. "I keep my money in several banks," returned the outlaw. "Where, for instance?" "I had some in the bank at Lee's Falls, but I drew it out the other day." "So I heard. Have you any money in the Emmonsville bank?" "Yes, but I am not quite ready to take it yet.
