If you go down there, you will still see the mark of a boat's keel on the sand, and probably footprints. A boat came over from the other shore in the night, and a man got on board. I don't say who the man was, and I had nothing to do with the matter in any way except as a spectator. That is all the information I have to give." Stoliker turned to his assistants, and nodded.
"I wish I was a constable for twenty-four hours," cried Mrs. Bartlett. "I would be hunting horse thieves instead of handcuffing innocent men." "Come along," said the impassive Stoliker, taking the handcuffs from his pocket. "If you three men," continued Mrs.
Fatigue and the want of sleep were heavy upon him, and his feet were as lead. Although dazed, he was conscious of a dull ache where his heart was supposed to be, and he vaguely hoped he had not made a fool of himself. He entered the tent, and was startled by the voice of Yates: "Hello! hello! Is that you, Stoliker?" "No; it is Renmark. Are you asleep?" "I guess I have been.
"I want to borrow a kitchen chair, Kitty," he said, "so that poor Stoliker will get a rest." They walked toward the house. Yates noticed that the firing had ceased, except a desultory shot here and there across the country. "I shall have to retreat over the border as quickly as I can," he continued. "This country is getting too hot for me."
"Now, if I were you, I would light out to-morrow at the latest." "I will," said Yates. Stoliker disappeared quietly among the trees, and Yates, after a moment's thought, began energetically to pack up his belongings. It was dark before he had finished, and Renmark returned. "Stilly," cried the reporter cheerily, "there's a warrant out for my arrest. I shall have to go to-morrow at the latest!"
"Oh, well, don't apologize for it. Every man has his failings. I'll be only too happy to give you some instructions. I have acquired the useful practice of being able to drink both on and off duty. Anything can be done, Stoliker, if you give your mind to it. I don't believe in the word 'can't, either with or without the mark of elision." Stoliker did not answer, and Yates yawned wearily.
Yet, he reflected, Yates could surely not meditate an attempt on his weapon, for he had, a few minutes before, told him a story about a prisoner who escaped in exactly that way. Stoliker was suspicious of the good intentions of the man he had in charge; he was altogether too polite and good-natured; and, besides, the constable dumbly felt that the prisoner was a much cleverer man than he.
