Falkner he will look after yer friend Whitley." The sun was nearly three hours high above the western hilltops in the mountain district of Arkansas, as a solitary horseman stopped in the shadow of the timber that fringed the edge of a deep ravine.
Sending Falkner to the Vineys' for the things needed, she cooked the meal while he swam out to the Swallow and made ready for the day's sail. Whimsically she insisted on doing all without his help, and when he was ready, she served him before she would eat herself, "Just as Mrs. Viney would her man."
"Didn't Christ prove it?" cried Mr. Fowler quickly. "No!" replied Mrs. Falkner. "He believed it Himself and He lived like He believed it, but He didn't prove it." Fowler jumped to his feet. "He proved it over and over; by fulfilling the prophecies, by the miracles He performed and by returning after death." "How do you know He returned after death?" asked Mrs. Falkner. "The Bible says so."
I see it ever before me as a thing of beauty. David! she must be mine at any sacrifice!" "Who? Markland's pretty daughter?" "Yes." "Better start some other game," was bluntly answered. "Your former attempt to run this down came near ruining every thing." "No danger of that now. The ingots are all safe;" and the man gave a shrug. "Lyon " "My name is Falkner. Don't forget it, if you please!"
Whitley was dazed. He looked around the room as though in a dream; then slowly he realized his situation and a desperate resolve crept into his heart. Carefully his hand moved beneath his coat until he felt the handle of a long knife, while he edged closer to his companion. The other seemed not to notice, and continued, as though talking to himself: "Little Dickie Falkner.
"I was received as Barry's friend, and treated with kindness accordingly; but I should only deservedly bring down scorn and ridicule on myself if I were ever to aspire to a greater intimacy than that which has hitherto been allowed me." "Well, Denham, we must not return without an enemy's frigate in tow," observed Captain Falkner, as he was one day walking the deck with his young lieutenant.
A team of powerful dogs, an unusually large sledge, and two Indians were at the door. "I bought 'em last night," explained the doctor, "and we're going to leave for the south to-day." "Giving up your hunt?" asked Philip. "No, it's ended," replied McGill in a matter-of-fact way. "It ended at Pierre Thoreau's cabin. Falkner was the third man to work out my experiment."
But, mind you, I shall have to tell them confidentially the reasons why we had to let you go." "Of course! That's only fair," said Jimmy, his sober common sense impelling him to this admission. "And when this tempest blows by, you can have any other territory that comes open, Jim," volunteered Falkner; "that is provided that you cut the jokes out.
Falkner says he can't be far away, or they would have met him on the trail if he had gone towards the Summit." "Did they say anything more of Manuel?" "Nothing; though I am inclined to agree with you that he isn't trustworthy. But that again is the result of John's idea of employing native skill at the expense of retaining native habits."
The frigate, however, was again ordered to sea, and the lovers parted, hoping ere long to meet again. Captain Falkner was unusually silent during his drive to the port, and when he arrived on board he retired to his cabin, and it was not until the moment the ship had to get under weigh he appeared on deck.
