"No, I say five, and I mean five. Take it, or leave it." "Well, to have done with all bother, we will make it seven pounds," cried Kavanagh, who was amused with his first attempt at making a deal of the kind. The Jew compressed his lips and shook his head. "Very good, then," said Kavanagh, dragging one of the portmanteaus towards him, and beginning to pack it.
This suited neither of us, so we sent a negro down with a skiff, and had him bring up our rifles, Auberry's bedding, my portmanteaus, etc., it being our intention to take the stage up to Leavenworth. By noon our plans were changed again, for a young Army officer came down from that Post with the information that Colonel Meriwether was not there.
He rang his bell violently for Maitland. There was no reply, and when he rang again, one of the hotel servants came up. "Where is my man?" he inquired.

"Those two large black portmanteaus in the corner where your light shines. Those are mine." "Name upon 'em, sir?" "Barbox Brothers." "Stand clear, sir, if you please. One. Two. Right!" Lamp waved. Signal lights ahead already changing. Shriek from engine. Train gone. "Mugby Junction!" said the traveller, pulling up the woollen muffler round his throat with both hands.

"Very well; let lights be carried there, and let the portmanteaus and packing-cases be unstrapped and opened." He handed a bunch of keys to the servant, and followed the man out of the room. In the hall he stopped suddenly, arrested by the sound of a woman's voice.
