"Well, sir," scratching his head with his disengaged hand, "Thar ain't but two more places ter look the cuss is either in the lazaret, er' else hidin' in the passage forward; more likely the last." "Why not the lazaret?" "Cause thar wouldn't be no object fer him to go thar. He dudn't get out agin with the kiver shut down.
"Why," said he, "if the captain was to say 'halt' suddenly that feller'd lose his mind tryin' to think what to do. No more head on him than a grasshopper. And him up there givin' orders to a lot of bright fellers like you an' me an' the rest of us! By gosh, I'd like to be hidin' around where I could see the look on the Indian's face that scalps him.
"While I was laid up, Privates Croff and Webb took turns on scout, suh. They located some of our men hidin' out stragglers from the retreat. They also rounded up a few of the bushwhackers' horses and mules." Forrest nodded. "You returned to our lines with some fifteen men and ten mounts, as well as information. Your losses?" Drew stared at the wall behind the General's head.
"Thet hain't ther p'int, men," he reminded them. "Ther law kin reach in an' take me out finally. We all knows thet onless I forsook my home hyar an' lived a refugee, hidin' out. Atter they once diskivered whar I was, I mout jest es well be thar es hyar." "Ther boy's right," ruled Hump Doane, judicially. "A man kain't beat ther law in ther long run."

"I reckoned all along it was you who shot the bear," she said; "at least some one hidin' yer," and she indicated the hollow tree with her hand. "It wasn't no chance shot." Observing that the young man, either from misconception or indifference, did not seem to comprehend her, she added, "We came by here, last night, a minute after you fired."
Young Pete had crept to the window and was gazing out at the sinking flames. "Say, ain't we pardners?" he queried irritably. "You said we was when you brung me up here. And pardners stick, don't they? I reckon if it was my shack that was gittin' rushed, you 'd stick, and not go bellyin' under the bunk and hidin' like a dog-gone prairie-dog." "That's all right," said Annersley.
Though he had not been invited to enter Parish Thornton took a forward step into the room, and a bold effrontery proclaimed itself in both the words and the manner of his response. "I've done come ter both of ye. I knows full well I'm speakin' right now in ther hearin' of numerous men hyar albeit they're hidin' out from me."
Hugh replied truthfully but not very wisely: "I'm on my way to camp, and I want to get there as soon as possible." "Camp, eh? Who are you?" "I don't see what that has to do with my being in a hurry to get there." "Maybe not, but we want to know where you was hidin' before you hit the trail," said the other man, a dark-visaged fellow with a sinister cast in one eye. "Come on now! Spit it out!"
And when we came up, careful, we spotted three guys hidin' out behind the rocks yonder. They look to me like they're waiting for somebody to go strolling back from the shoreline, so's uh maybe folks out at the powerhouse can't see 'em. That'd be you and her, huh?" Joe went cold. Not for himself. For Sally. "There's nobody else around," said the Chief. "Who'd they be waiting for but you two?
Glenthorpe, who was allus fond of walkin' up this way at nights, met her one night, and that'll account for his own bloody end. And it's my belief that she appeared to the young chap who was hidin' in th' woods the night we saw un. And look what's happened to un! He's got to be hanged, which is a violent end, thow p'r'aps not bloody."
