He went back to the schoolhouse to fulfil his duty, and threw open the door with such a slam that the master rushed out of his room very quickly, and asked, "What do you want, Otto?" "Only to look in again, to see if every thing is as it should be," stammered the boy. "This is excellent," said the teacher; "but it is not necessary for you to slam the door in that way."
Let not the reader accuse the two of indifference, because so little has been recorded in their conversation, concerning Otto Relstaub, the companion of both in more than one scene of peril, and held by them in strongest friendship.
"You cannot make up your mind to say thou to me; therefore let it be. We are, after all, good friends. It is only a form; although you must grant that in this respect you are really a great fool." Otto now explained what an extraordinary aversion he had felt, what a painful feeling had seized upon him, and made it impossible to him. "There you were playing the martyr!" said Wilhelm, laughing.
The last news he had received from that country was not very encouraging, and created a presentiment of the approach of the dreaded catastrophe.

"I can tell you what I think," said Jack with a compression of his lips and a shake of his head: "Otto is dead." "How did my brother meet his death?" calmly asked Deerfoot. "Those five warriors started by another route to the village and they meant to take him there as they took me.
