"Then," he said, "because I'm going to swear you in as special constables, you and the boys will make him." There was another lapse into half-audible laughter and one of the men touched Seaforth's shoulder. "I'm wondering what Harry would think of this," said he. "It would sound kind of curious in the old country." Seaforth smiled as he made a little gesture of resignation.
The commandants of forts should have independent companies: cavalry should be quartered between Inverness and Perth, and Quarter Sessions should be held at Fort William and Ruthven in Badenoch. In 1725 Wade disarmed Seaforth's clan, the Mackenzies, easily, for Seaforth, then in exile, was on bad terms with James, and wished to come home with a pardon.
Then as they stood a moment, loaded like beasts of burden, under the dripping pines, Seaforth held out his hand. "Harry, are you wise?" he said. "I don't know," said Alton simply; "but I'm going on." It was noticeable that they shook hands, which they were not in the habit of doing, and that there was a very faint but perceptible tremor in Seaforth's voice. "Good-bye," he said.
That's going to give us a pull on Mr. Hallam, who is standing in somewhere behind the whole thing and I kind of fancy there's another man with him." Seaforth's face grew grave. "Then, as Harry wouldn't like it and there's nothing in it, I'd get rid of that fancy. Now, of course, you know what you can do, but isn't it playing a little too much into your own hand?
"But," and Seaforth's horror was evident, "he may try again. There are more than the Somasco ranchers who would be sorry if he was successful Harry." Alton laughed, but the grating cachination sent a shiver through his companion. "Yes," he said, "I think he will, and that's why I'm waiting. He may give himself away the third time, and then it will be either him or me."
"How recently have you heard it?" queried Prescott. "Within ten minutes." "Thank heaven, then!" muttered the lieutenant. "The Seaforth people are holding out." "Is it at Seaforth's?" demanded Draney, with assumed eagerness. "So I imagine. But I must hurry on my way. Take care of yourself, Mr. Draney." Perhaps that last bit of advice was delivered in a tone of some sarcasm.
I read it up to Miss General Wilcox's, and to Major Seaforth's, and I'll read it to you." Mrs.
"Well," said Seaforth, "I did my best, and Tom's coming along behind me. What are you doing here anyway?" Alton glanced at him bewilderedly. "I don't quite know, but I got the deer. It's somewhere around here," said he. Seaforth's face grew suddenly grave as he stopped and shook his comrade, then let his hand drop as he saw a red trickle spreading across the crusted overalls. "Good Lord!
Stay, stay, my sweet young lady; do not let the fervor of your feelings run away with you! I do not pretend to say, indeed, that one or more of these pretty subjects might not have been introduced; but the most important and leading topic of the conference was Lieutenant Seaforth's breeches. "Caroline," said Charles, "I have had some very odd dreams since I have been at Tappington."
"Did you find the peg?" said Alton, and Okanagan swept his glance across the faces before him. Seaforth's expressed bewilderment, Alton's was grim. "I found one," said Seaforth "Julius Caesar's." "Yes," said Alton dryly. "There should have been another, and a horse that breaks his tether can't pull out the peg. Still, I don't think he broke it." "But," said Seaforth, "the thing is broken."
