Sinclair right now is camping somewhere in the hills near Sour Creek, waiting for things to quiet down before he hits the out-trail with this Gaspar." "He wouldn't be fool enough for that," grumbled the sheriff. "Fool? Has any one of you professional man hunters figured yet on hunting for 'em near Sour Creek?

But to thy Fanchon's father I was merely a priest we had not hunted together nor met often about the fire, and drew fast the curtains for the tales which bring men close. He took me safely on the out-trail, but on the home-trail he was cast away. Dost thou not think the love of him that stays as great as the love of him that goes?" "Ah, thou wouldst go far to serve my wife and child!"

It was dark and I could not see, but there was a sweet smell, and I heard the voices." "My child, thou art tired with watching, and thy mind is full of fancies. Thou must sleep."

The Otari, or hill warriors, had set their feet into the out-trail of flight and acknowledged the chagrin of defeat, all except Dragging Canoe, the ablest and most implacable of their chiefs who, sullenly refusing to smoke the pipe, had drawn far away to the south, to sulk out his wrath and await more promising auspices.
Lynch, if he'll promise to follow the leader. I see that's an Injun that he's got riding along behind him but I'm going to lose 'em both. These Shooshonnies ain't so much I can out-trail 'em, any time and I tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to lead Mr.
