It made him hot and restless, and his eyes wandered searchingly in all directions, longing for an opportunity to do something which would bring him nearer to the prizes he coveted. Sile also was watching keenly the tops and branches of every clump of bushes they came to, but it almost seemed as if the game had suddenly migrated.
All this country must have some owner, the gentry pushing their cravings into the wilderness, even where they never dare to ventur', in their own persons, to look at the land they own." "That may do in other quarters of the colony, Deerslayer, but it will not do here. Not a human being, the Lord excepted, owns a foot of sile in this part of the country.
"If he took my money I'll have the law on him, as sure as my name is Sile Rollins," Paul heard him mutter, half to himself. "Then you've thought of some one who might have known that you had three thousand dollars under your roof, is that it, sir?" he asked.
They had no such horses as that among all that he and Two Arrows had found for them. The warrior was looking in the opposite direction at the instant, but he was also wheeling his horse, and in a second or so more he caught sight of Sile. He had a lance, but it was slung behind him, and in his hands was as good a repeating-rifle as Sile's own, and he raised it like a flash.
These two considered him the tallest kind of a young chief already, but all the rest regarded him very much as Yellow Pine did, as "the likeliest young redskin he'd ever come across."

I move we just unhitch long enough for a feed and a good drink, and lay in what water we can carry, and go on all night. There's a good moon to travel by, and it'll be cooler work for the critters." "It's our best hold. Sile, don't you gallop that horse of yours one rod.
"If any one needs help Sile Wright is always on hand," said Uncle Peabody. I was soon out of bed and he came no more to sit up with me. When I was well again Aunt Deel said one day "Peabody Baynes, I ain't heard no preachin' since Mr Pangborn died. I guess we better go down to Canton to meetin' some Sunday.
"What if, after all, we should not find water when we get there?" The sun sank lower and lower, and now at last Yellow Pine stood still and leaned against his mare, pointing forward. "Jedge!
