"Yield yourself a prisoner, or die!" suddenly broke from the lips of the concealed hunter. Gaut cast a startled glance around him, and then instantly threw himself to the ground, but barely in time to escape the bullet of the exploding rifle below, which struck the rock in the exact spot that a half-second before was darkened by the shade of his head and shoulders.
But the spoiler came in a second appearance of Gaut Gurley, who, having squandered in the country the bounteous sums of money which Elwood had paid him for his services, now followed the latter to the city.
That young man, Claud Elwood, whom you think so ordinary a match, is heir to a large property. A will is already executed making him so." "Is that so, Gaut?" "Yes, I have known it for months.
