"We was on the subject of Dawson," remarked Ruggles from his seat, for all had learned long before of the uselessness of inviting him to drink; "and it's the opinion of Vose, I understand, that it was the letter that has made the change in him." "There ain't any doubt about it," said Adams; "fur the attack took him right after; I noticed the difference in him the next day.
"Everybody seems to be a rancher hereaway, and you mayn't be too proud to put through a job for me." Alton nodded, and glanced at the speaker questioningly. "No. If it would fit in," he said. "I'm Hallam," said the other man. "Hallam and Vose, of the Tyee mineral claim.
Timon held his motionless position until the four men had taken several steps toward him and there could be no error as to their intention. Vose Adams observed that he was following, without a hair's variation, the course he had in mind.
Before he could make clear the meaning of this remark, Vose Adams emerged from the cedars, and the three breathlessly awaited his coming. He broke into a trot and quickly descended the slope to where they stood. The expression of his face showed before he spoke that he brought unwelcome news. "Confound it!" he exclaimed with a shake of his head, "they're not there!"
"What have you there?" asked Captain Dawson, suspecting its identity. "I guess you have seen it before," replied Wade, handing the piece of fine, bordered linen to him. He turned it over with strange emotions, for he was quick to recognize it. "Yes," he said, compressing his lips; "it is hers; she dropped it there how long ago, Vose?"
On the impulse of the moment he called to Adams in advance: "Vose, I am afraid this won't do!" The leader did not look around and acted as if he had not heard him. "I say, Vose, isn't it better that we should wait till our horses can see the way?" Since the leader took no notice of this demand, the captain concluded his fears were groundless and said no more.
"They have let their only chance go by," he bitterly reflected; "it's too late now to save them!" Lieutenant Russell held a long consultation with Nellie Dawson, after the departure of Vose Adams. His first intention had been to press their flight with all possible vigor, and, as will be recalled, Adams carried away that belief with him.
Adams was relieved because of this action, for it promised more delay. Reaching the beginning of the gorge, all began an examination of the ground, for the imprints of the horses' feet were plainly seen. To the amazement of every one, each hoof pointed upward, that is away from the cañon. There was no evidence that any quadruped had descended the slope. All had gone up. Vose Adams was in despair.
Firmly clasping her hand, the two hastened down the incline, wondering what it was that caused all the noise and confusion. THE excitement in New Constantinople was caused by the arrival of Vose Adams, the mail carrier and messenger, with his budget of letters and freight for the Heavenly Bower.
"Let's see," growled Wade Ruggles, "Constantinople is in Ireland isn't it?" "Where's your eddycation?" sneered Ike Vose; "it's the oldest town in Wales." Landlord Ortigies raised his head and filled the room with his genial laughter. "If there was anything I was strong on when I led my class at the Squankum High School it was astronermy; I was never catched in locating places."
