"They must have led the horse around our camp," said Uncle Tad, and this proved to be a correct guess, for on the other side of the camp the footprints of a horse, with the same shaped hoof as that of Eagle Feather's, were seen. "Now we find horse easy," said the Indian, as he and his companion hurried on through the big woods.
What I have borne, I have borne What I am to bear I will sustain as I may; no word of commiseration can make a burden feel one feather's weight lighter to the slave who must carry it. There is only one human being who could have assisted me, and that is he who has rather chosen to add to my embarrassment Rashleigh Osbaldistone.
Being in fact as sane a man as ever lived, his irrational nerves alarmed him all the more. He could not conceive that an event was immediately before him which, without making his position safer, would rouse him from all thought of self. Our lives are swayed by trifles; a feather's weight may alter the course of our destinies.
But now all was his own, and he was in truth Newton of Newton, with no embarrassments of any kind which could impose a feather's weight upon his back. We will pass over the solemn sadness of the funeral at Newton and the subsequent reading of the old Squire's will. As to the latter, the will was as it had been made some six or seven years ago.
Nick Undrell was still there. He was rigidly looking along the sights of his rifle, hesitating to fire. "You're aimin' at a dead pony, Nick," Kiddie pointed out. "I ain't doin' nothin' so fullish," returned Nick. "It's the skunk lyin' doggo behind it that I'm interested in. Broken Feather's thar, sure; and he ain't dead; he ain't even wounded.
It was, of course, but as a vaguely outlined vision that these recognitions floated through what could only be alleged to be Feather's mind because there was no other name for it. The dark little staircase, the rejected and despised third floor, and Coombe detachedly announcing his plans for the house, had set the so to speak rather malarious mist flowing around her.
I suppose there are times in the life of every one, even the strongest and I am not that when a feather's weight added to a burden may snap power of endurance. I had reached that stage before encountering Le Grand Diable on the field of massacre at Seven Oaks.
Here we have an experiment in which these petty motives come in to aid the revolutionary movement in the minds of the leaders of it, and with their feather's weight turn the scale, when the abhorrence of change is too nicely balanced with its antagonistic force for a predominance of powers without it. 'But for my single self, I had as lief not be, as live to be In awe of such a thing as I myself.
"Well, no; I believe not," Simon answered absently. "A lone trapper on Box Elder Creek gave him the information; said it was the biggest herd seen on these hunting grounds for many summers back." "Trapper might have been one of Broken Feather's spies," Kiddie suggested very quietly. "Eh?" Simon Sprott looked up sharply and blew a long, slow jet of smoke from his lips.
As she bowed her head, and I saw the silver shadow on her late dark, brown hair, I felt how intense must have been the suffering that wrought this wondrous change, and I resolved to bear unmurmuring my own sorrows, rather than add a feather's weight to her burden of woe. I remembered how the queenly locks of Marie Antoinette were whitened in one night of agony.
