I'll take the care off your shoulders; I'll keep these young dare-devils from killing each other over Miss Helen's favors. I certainly Hello! There are strangers at the gate. Something's up." Half a dozen rough-looking men had appeared from round the corner of the cabin, and halted at the gate. "Bill Elsing, and some of his men from Yellow Creek," said Colonel Zane, as he went toward the group.
"It seems I hadn't," Helen said quietly, but her eyes belied that calm voice. "You're a headstrong child," Jonathan added curtly. "Mr. Zane!" cried Helen with pale face. "I suppose you've always had your own sweet will; but out here on the border you ought to think a little of others, if not of yourself." Helen maintained a proud silence. "You might have run right into prowlin' Shawnees."
I'd go to hell after a woman I wanted. An' Colonel, he looked it, too." Colonel Zane remained thoughtful while Alex made up a bundle and forced the haft of an ax under the string; but as the young man started away the colonel suddenly remembered his errand down to the wharf. "Alex, come back here," he said, and wondered if the lad had good stuff in him.
Simon Girty and the other chiefs white and red rallied them and divided them into parties, with due care for the cannon-piece. From every exposed side they volleyed at the fort and the Zane cabin. They charged and fell back and charged again. In fort and cabin the rifles, deftly loaded by the fast-working women and girls, waxed hot. With darkness the general firing died down.
"I hope with all my heart it may settle Betty. She worries me to death with her love affairs." Col. Zane went up stairs and found the young lady exactly as he had left her. She gave an impatient toss of her head as he entered. "Well, Madam, I have here something that may excite even your interest." he said cheerily. "What?" asked Betty with a start.
Zane ensconced himself as a tenant in a neighboring house, and when the apparatus was in request by Donovan, he crossed on the roofs between the trap-doors, and still was master of his residence." "What does all this disclose but the intrigue of despairing guilt?" exclaimed young Van de Lear.
Dickson, had learned that I had not struck the blow though, as the elder brother, I was morally responsible for it and he suggested to the court that sentence be suspended. This, Justice Zane seemed prepared to do, but I objected. I did not wish to be put in any such position; and I said so.
"'Pears to me, Brandt, bein' in love hes kinder worked on your nerves. You used to be game. Now you're afeerd of a bound an' tied man who ain't got long to live." "I fear no man," answered Brandt, scowling darkly. "But I know what you don't seem to have sense enough to see. If this Zane gets away, which is probable, he and Wetzel will clean up your gang."
"'Pipe and Half King have been influenced by Girty. Evidently the writer deemed that brief sentence of sufficient meaning." "Edwards, we're preachers. We can't understand such things. I am learning, at least something every day. Colonel Zane advised us not to come here. Wetzel said, 'Go back to Fort Henry. Girty warned us, and now comes this peremptory order from Isaac Zane." "Well?"
He saw that Joe was in earnest, for the remembrance of the moan had more than once paled his cheek and caused beads of perspiration to collect on his brow. Joe related the circumstances of that night, and at the end of his narrative Colonel Zane sat silent and thoughtful. "You don't really think it was Wetzel who moaned?" he asked, at length.
