The trapper and the others, followed by Holcomb and Margaret, moved toward the camp, the torches illumining their faces. No one saw the hide-out.

"Oh, Sam! tell me it is you and you are safe, and nothing has happened? Oh! Sam I have been so wretched!"
The king's troops expected that the method of fighting would be such as they had been accustomed to; that the horsemen, pursuing and retreating alternately, would at one time use their weapons, at another time turn their backs; that the agility of the Illyrians would be serviceable for excursions and sudden attacks, and that the Cretans might discharge their arrows against the enemy, as they advanced eagerly to the charge.
The brothers and their brides, entering the married state with no more than the slender means which then sanctioned such a step, had confederated themselves in one household, with equal rights to the parlor, and claiming exclusive privileges in two sleeping- rooms contiguous to it.
On the top of the shallow tray lay a little black yarn mitten, the mate to that one in the city Morgue. Anderson smiled into the faces of the men at his side. "That's it," he said, simply. The tall Irishman laid a hand on his shoulder, saying: "Yer all right, boy. Don't get rattled,"

It was all just as it had been on that morning and yet what a difference!
