At six in the evening the train stopped at Charlesbury, and he got down. "Ticket," said the station-man. Eric gave it, turning his head away, for the man knew him well from having often seen him there. It was no use; the man looked hard at him, and then, opening his eyes wide, exclaimed, "Well, I never! what, Master Williams of Fairholm, can that be you?"
"Well, I was plumb disgusted with the fool way I'd rigged myself up, but, fortunately for me, Darragh, the station-man, came out with the girl. 'There's Reddy, from your ranch now, ma'am, says he, and when he caught sight of me, 'What's the matter, Red; are the Injuns up?

She pays votive offerings from this day, at sunrise and at sunset, for those men incense and oils and seed to safety from all evil, and fulfillment of their so-great destiny.
