The ostler, who had been apparently lost in contemplation of the steep trail he had just descended, suddenly clapped his hand to his leg with an ejaculation of gratified astonishment. "Waal, darn my skin ef that ain't Hennicker's 'slide' all the time! I heard it was somewhat about here."
It was not at all what he had meant, but he felt singularly relieved at the compromise. "And ez I reckon Hennicker ain't such a fool ez not to know who we are and what we're out for," continued Clinch, "I reckon there ain't any concealment."
