A simple shadow would not have made such a commotion as that? "Sahibs!" said Ossaroo, in a tone of mysterious gravity, "he be one ob two ting. He eider be de god Brahma, or " "Or what?" demanded Caspar. "An ole rogue." "An old rogue?" said Caspar, repeating the words of the shikaree. "What do you mean by that, Ossy?"
