I soon learned that Henry had been seen to paddle out of the lagoon on a Mojave balsa, accompanied by Vic, and that Frank and Clary had gone quail-shooting.

"Good-by, Marcy, but not for long," said he. "If I have any influence with the colonel, I shall be riding around in your neighborhood to-morrow afternoon; and when this cruel war is over, I am coming down here on purpose to go quail-shooting with you."

"Oh, no!" answered Woods; "but I should like to see my friends again, and try my hand at quail-shooting." "Are you fond of hunting?"
