'What to do, mon Rafe? 'I do not know, he said, 'though I can guess. But I will not tell you, Cynthe. "'You will not go, mon Rafe. Promise me you will not go. Hide away, and we will slip down to the Falls of St. Regis and be married me, I do not care for the grand wedding in the church here and then we will get away to Beaupre. Promise me. "'Bien, Cynthe, I promise. I will not go to him.
"Good-night, major," Vesty whispered kindly, coming to me. She had her shawl wrapped over herself and her infant, and was departing quietly with her father-in-law, Captain Rafe. "I I didn't get one eye-beam from her the whole evenin' no, by Jove! And she just now leaned over and showered a whole peck of 'em on that poor little "
I'll take care of Rafe!" Just then darkness fell upon the gambler. He was knocked flat and senseless by a blow of a fist from behind. In the same instant a man leaped upon George Ashby, bearing him to earth. Bang! The noise of the discharging shotgun broke on the night's stillness. Bang! crashed the other barrel.
"Oh, it's been hinted to me by various people," said Nan, slowly. "But I saw Injun Pete, Tom." "When? He hasn't been to Pine Camp since you came." Nan told her cousin of her adventure in the hollow near Blackton's lumber camp. Tom was much excited by that. "Gracious me, Nan! But you are a plucky girl. Wait till Rafe hears about it. And marm and dad will praise you for being so level-headed today.
A fresh point of observation. Accompanying me was the moviecameraman, Rafe Slafe, as uncommunicative and earnest in his medications as before. It was a sad sight to see neat rectangular patterns of roads and highways, cultivated fields and orangegroves, checkered towns and sprawling suburbs come to an abrupt stop where they were blotted out by the regimented uniformity of the onrushing grass.
"No," he answered gravely; "it's a great help, of course, to know it, but it isn't necessary. I keep the words in my pocket to prompt Dandie, and the Wrig can only say two lines, she's so little." Rafe is the king, and Dandie is the 'eldern knight, you remember him?" "Certainly; he sat at the king's right knee." "Yes, yes, that's the one!
But some of the rest of us have different ideas as to how a helpless enemy ought to be treated." "You, Rafe Bodson!" snarled Duff, turning on the last speaker. "Are you one of us? Do you belong to our side, or are you a spy for the other crowd?" "Got your gun with you, Duff?" inquired Bodson calmly. "Yes," snapped the gambler.
"'S I sums it up," said the imperturbable collector, grave pipe of expired ashes in mouth, "thar 's some bottom to the water, but it 's purty nigh fell out o' yer roads down here. Ye're a disgrace to a shyer town." Loud and unoffended laughter from the group. "I permits 't thar 's some advantages about the land," continued Captain Rafe.
Even now, after Duff and Ashby had sighted them, Moore and Bodson halted twice to light matches and examine the trail that their keen eyes had discovered as moving westward from the gully. "Now, I reckon we've got the general direction," muttered Rafe Bodson when, after having once more discovered the tracks he turned and got the general course. "We know the way to head."
She might as well have called him "soft-headed"; but Nan began better to appreciate Tom's worth from that time on. Rafe remained in her eyes still the reckless, heroic figure he had seemed when running over the logs the day of the timber drive. But she began to confide in Tom after this evening of her return from the tamarack swamp. However, this is somewhat in advance of the story.
